A disorder in which insulin fails to p produce the same glucose lowering effect seen in those with a normal metabolism. The pancreas work overtime in effort to lower blood glucose levels, producing large quantities of insulin (hyperinsulinemia) ~25% individuals with hyperinsulinemia will eventually become Type 2 diabetics unless this process is corrected. Let’s see how that happens….. What causes Insulin Resistance? Refined, simple carbohydrates, and sugary foods as well as artificial ifi i l sweeteners ALL trigger i the h pancreas to release large quantities of insulin into the bloodstream. Preservatives,, pesticides, p , trans-fats,, toxins and super p sugars like high fructose corn syrup all contribute to insulin resistance. Caffeine decreases cellular sensitivity to insulin and should be avoided. (Caffeine causes eventual weight gain!) Repeated and frequent spiking of insulin levels causes the cells to become resistant to insulin and reduces the number of insulin receptor sites on the cell’s surface. This directly affects the body’s ability to use glucose. Excess Insulin is Toxic! Causes cravings for simple carbohydrates Damages the vascular system Harms the kidneys, eyes, nerves, etc Promotes high blood pressure by impairing sodium balance Increases the risk and progression of certain types of cancer Contributes to benign prostate enlargement, polycystic ovaries i and d iirregular l menses b by altering lt i th the production d ti off reproductive hormones Prevents fat from leaving fat cells making it difficult to lose weight, i h even with i h reduced d d caloric l i iintake k and d exercise i Contributes to weight gain, increases appetite and can cause hypoglycemia Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes A Among U S Ad U.S. Adults lt 1995 Missing data 4.5%–5.9% 7.5%–8.9% <4.5% 6.0%–7.4% ≥9.0% Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes A Among U S Ad U.S. Adults lt 2000 Missing data 4.5%–5.9% 7.5%–8.9% <4.5% 6.0%–7.4% ≥9.0% Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes A Among U S Ad U.S. Adults lt 2005 Missing data 4.5%–5.9% 7.5%–8.9% <4.5% 6.0%–7.4% ≥9.0% Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes A Among U S Ad U.S. Adults lt 2010 Missing data 4.5%–5.9% 7.5%–8.9% <4.5% 6.0%–7.4% ≥9.0% ““The h Insulin l Resistance Syndrome d conference extended the concept of the Metabolic Syndrome (NCEP/ATPIII).

Women with insulin resistance frequently have elevated levels of testosterone. Correcting hormonal imbalance can help to regulate cholesterol levels, blood pressure, insulin levels, normalize blood sugar levels reduce depression and decrease abdominal fat levels, fat. Fat cells synthesize the aromatase enzyme which converts male hormones into estrogen. Excess amounts of estrogen causes weight gain in both men and women. Balancing g hormones is a veryy delicate p process,, work with yyour health care professional to restore a healthy balance. The Key is to Balance all the Hormones Managing Inflammation Due to Toxicity Alkalize the Body Normal pH is 7.0 to 7.5 (blood pH 7.35) The body pulls minerals from the bones to neutralize excess acids.

Secrett #3 S #3: Eliminating Eli i ti C Currentt Inflammation in the Bodyy USING FOODS, HERBS AND LIFESTYLE PROVEN TO TURN THE TIDE ON PAIN, OBESITY, CARDIO VASCULAR DISEASE, DIABETES, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AND CANCER Anti-Inflammatory Diet An eating plan to help heal the tissues of the body, encourage detoxification and supports a healthy life A diet appropriate for adults and children Eliminate all allergens g from the diet (allergic g reactions promote inflammation!) fl Consider d rotation… Eliminate ALL highly processed foods (made with ground wheat,, rice,, potato g p or corn),, foods with high g sugar content and animal fat. These are all inflammatory! Aim for variety, include as much fresh, raw food in it’s whole fresh form as is possible. p Aim for ~40% complex carbohydrates, 30% healthy fats, ~30% high quality protein from vegetable proteins or veryy lean animal p protein sources Foods to Focus On Organic Fruits Organic Vegetables Organic Healthy Oils Organic Wild, Grass Fed Animal or Vegetable Proteins Organic Nuts & Seeds O Organic i Goat G t or Sheep Sh Dairy Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Carbohydrates Vegetables g are chock-full of carbohydrates y and contain all you need while reducing weight Eat beans, winter squashes and vegetables in place of crackers, tortillas, pasta and bread When more carbs are needed, eat whole gluten-free grains i such h as quinoa, i amaranth, th wild ild rice, i b brown rice i and buckwheat In a 2000 calorie per day diet diet, ~200 200 calories from carbohydrates for women & 240-300 calories for men. Anti-Inflammatory Diet – Healthy Fats The most anti-inflammatory foods are going to be those rich in healthy oils In a 2000 calorie per day diet diet, approximately 600 calories can come from fats (~67 grams). This should be in a ration of 1:2:1 of saturated to monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fat. Reduce intake of saturated fats by decreasing butter, cream, high-fat cheese, un skinned chicken and fatty meats, un-skinned meats and any products made with palm kernel oil. Use extra virgin olive oil mixed with avocado or expeller pressed grapeseed oil as the main cooking oil. Coconut, pumpkin seed, and sesame seed oils are also very anti-inflammatory anti inflammatory but have distinctive flavors that must be considered by the chef. Or use expeller-pressed rice bran oil. Avoid products made with partially hydrogenated oils of any kind, margarine, vegetable shortening and all products listing anything hydrogenated as an ingredient. ingredient Include avocados, walnuts, cashews, almonds and their nut butters. Wild caught salmon- excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids. Also consider, sardines, herring or black cod; omega 3 fortified eggs; hemp and flax seeds. Include a distilled fish oil supplement! No More Vegetable Oil! Most polyunsaturated vegetable oils like safflower, sunflower, corn, peanut and soy, are high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid The Th body b d converts t these th fats f t iinto t arachidonic hid i acid id (AA), (AA) another omega-6 fatty acid that has a pro-inflammatory influence. These vegetable g oils contain almost no omegag 3s (rich supply in cold water fish, phytoplankton, flaxseed and chia seeds) which soothe inflammation. Our O prehistoric hi t i ancestors t ate t a di diett with ith an omega-6 6 to t omega-3 ratio of 1:1. Our current ratio is anywhere between 10:1 and 25:1! 5 Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Protein In a 2000 calorie per day diet, protein intake should be around 80-120 grams per day Decrease consumption of mass produced animal protein. All poultry and farmed fish are suspect (even organic) because they are usually raised on corn (pro-inflammatory) Take in wild fish, high quality organic goat and d sheep h dairy d i foods, f d grass-fed f d and d wild ild meats may be eaten in moderation Eat more vegetable protein, especially beans including fermented, raw and whole bean products that are organic and non-GMO Include seeds and nuts in y your diet dailyy Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Fiber Aim for 5 grams of fiber per 20 lbs/day Increase intake of fibrous foods such as: Fruit, especially berries Vegetables, Vegetables especially beans and squash Whole gluten-free grains Nuts and Seeds Take in 5 grams of fiber/20lbs of body weight with a limit at 45 gm/day. Consider C id using i pure organic i gluten-free l t f b bran (especially oat bran, rice bran) and adding it to fruit, vegetables, g yyogurt g and smoothies. The Basics to Weight Loss For weight g loss to occur,, the energy gy used in dailyy activities must be greater than what is taken in. To loose one pound per week, the body needs to burn 3500 calories per week (500/day) Gradual weight loss is more desirable, and is more likely to stay off Rapid weight loss is due mostly to water and muscle tissue loss. Dehydration and loss of muscle lead to weight gain! White Bread, Almonds & Blood Sugar Adding almonds made a significant impact on blood sugar levels. Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Phytonutrients Eat a wide variety y of fruits, vegetables g and mushrooms to maximize natural protection against age related diseases including CVD, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases Choose fruits and vegetables g from all p parts of the color spectrum, including berries, tomatoes, red, orange yellow and purple fruits and vegetables, and dark leafy greens Consider including one to two servings of Vivix each day Choose organic produce whenever possible – wash all produce with Basic H Consume cruciferous vegetables regularly Drink tea instead of coffee, especially good quality white, green or oolong tea or caffeine-free herbal teas Enjoy organic dark chocolate in moderation (>70% cocoa) Anti-Inflammatory Diet – Vitamins and Minerals Consume a diet high in fresh foods with an abundance of fruits and vegetables Supplement as needed with high quality nutrients: Vitamin Vi i C – 1-3 grams per day d d depending di on produce d iintake k Vitamin E – 400 IU per day of natural mixed tocopherols Mixed Carotenoids – 10,000 – 15,000 IU per day Calcium (for women) – 500 – 1000 mg per day (Men should avoid unless blood chemistry indicates a need) Selenium – 200-400 4 micrograms g p per dayy Folic Acid – 400 micrograms per day (may need to be activated) Vitamin D – 2000-10,000 IU per day Coenzyme Q10 – 60 – 100 mg Anti-Inflammatory Diet – Other Nutrients Anti-Inflammatory herbs and spices include: Alfalfa Garlic Turmeric Cayenne Pepper Onions Nettle N ttl lleaff Resveratrol- 100-400mg per day Alpha Alpha-lipoic lipoic acid – 200 – 600 mg per day, day Zinc- 15 15-60 60 mg, mg and Magnesium- 200-600mg especially if prone to blood sugar instability, metabolic syndrome, or have had significant chemical exposure (medications, (medications plastics plastics, art supplies supplies, petroleum petroleum, farming farming, etc) Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Water Take in one half of y your bodyy weight g in ounces of water each day (or drinks which are mostly water such as tea, very diluted fruit juice, sparkling mineral water, t etc) t ) Use filtered water for best results ½b body d weight i ht in i oz off H2O/day O/d Stress and Inflammation Connection Mental and p physical y stress causes inflammation and acidification- a disasterous combo!

Contains many non-essential aa’s- glutamine is found in the highest conc133 mg/g (Glutamine causes global healing, esp within intestines!) The fact that Sacha Inchi protein still has such a good content of healthy fat improves the bioavailability of the protein making it more digestible than most other protein sources. The bioavailability of proteins is measured on a scale called the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) with 1.0 being the highest score- Sacha Inchi scores 0.9 on this scale, coming well above pea (0.73) and rice (0.47). Shaklee soy has a score of 1.0!!! RDIs of Essential Amino Acids for Humans vs. Sacha Inchi Content What About Soy Protein? The most commonly y used p plant p protein. It’s come under intense fire recently due to the issue with GMO’s and different processing techniques. Soy is the most “complete” plant protein known and most digestible plant protein available Long track record of unique health benefits: lowers cholesterol delays menopause lowers blood pressure decreases pain while stimulating healing For most, health concerns over soy are a red herring!
