A month ago I shared the importance of lowering your blood sugar because high blood sugar is the major problem in type 2 diabetes and fat gain. BUT what if I told you that eating too many carbs could be causing your health problems even if your blood sugar is normal? It’s true! This is where insulin enters the picture. You’re probably used to hearing about insulin as a hormone that helps to lower your blood sugar. In fact, if you use insulin injections for type 2 diabetes, your doctor prescribed these for you for exactly this purpose because if he didn't, you could have…

Have you ever been told that you have to consume a lot of fat in general, and include coconut and MCT oils, specifically, in order to do a keto diet the “right way" and get into ketosis to burn fat? The truth is, in my practice and in those of my mentors, one of the most common reasons for people not losing weight on keto is adding lots of extra fat to foods, and eating more fat than they even have a taste for simply to fulfill whatever number a tracking app is telling them to get to.  A biggest mistake. …

Let's go through all of the symptoms of insulin resistance which is probably one of the MOST common health problems in the world today.  A recent study showed that 88% of Americans have at least one marker of metabolic syndrome which is defined as having any 3 of the following 5 signs:      1. High abdominal obesity     2. High blood pressure     3. High fasting triglycerides     4. Low HDL     5. High fasting blood glucose   Click the video below to watch: Think of it, 88% of Americans have at least one of these signs of metabolic syndrome.  Crazy eh!  I bet other countries such…

There are two pathways: the pathway most people take—the one that leads to more medicine, more debilitation, and dangerous consequences from type 2 diabetes. And then there’s the path I want YOU to take: the one that leads to less medicine, more zest for life, and TOTAL REVERSAL OF TYPE 2 DIABETES as well as other chronic health conditions. That’s right: you don’t have to “control” your type 2 diabetes and all the conditions related to it. You can reverse it completely (and the conditions related to it) and NOT HAVE IT ANYMORE. And the amazing part is, there’s really only one thing you…

When your goal is weight loss, the most important thing a way of eating has to do is…CONTROL HUNGER! You can’t stick to a diet that keeps you hungry all the time.  No one can.  It goes against basic human biology.  No amount of willpower or discipline can make you stick to a way of eating that leaves you physically uncomfortable. If you ever dieted to lose weight in the past, did you: Power through hunger all day only to dive head-first into junk food at night? Deal with constant, intrusive thoughts of food? Ignore the nonstop rumbling of your empty-feeling stomach? Plan your next meal…

So you decided to get healthy, you stopped eating those chips and drinking all the soft drinks, and stopped eating all the sweets and you really cut back on the saturated fat.  You started eating lots of fruits and vegetables, drinking fruit-filled smoothies once or twice a day because those are magically full of phytonutrients and good things for you.  The problem is, over time you haven't really lost any fat, maybe you've even put on some belly fat.  Also maybe you notice your bowels aren't behaving the way they are supposed to, your skin is flaring up and your…

Gluten is a group of proteins, typically two major proteins: gliadin and glutenin with gliadin being the most harmful. These proteins occur in many grain products. Humans don’t have the intestines to deal with gluten like a ruminant does such as a cow. Most, if not all, humans are not genetically made up to tolerate gluten. Sometimes the impact can be subclinical and at other times it can have a massive clinical impact. With the current state of grains and how they are hybridized and grown, we are not designed to tolerate these products the way they are.  Watch the video…
