What is Insulin Resistance?
 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

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

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

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.

RESEARCH UPDATE: HUMAN STUDIES SUPPORT THE USE OF BACILLUS COAGULANS
Emerging research suggests a variety of promising roles for Bacillus coagulans in supporting
human health.
•Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In an eight-week trial,subjects with irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS) taking a probiotic preparation containing Bacillus coagulans had significant improvement in
abdominal pain and bloating, whereas patients taking placebo did not experience notable
improvement.31
•Crohn’s Disease. Subjects with Crohn’s diseas taking a probiotic preparation containing
Bacillus coagulans had a greater decrease in total Crohn
Crohn’ss Disease Activity Index (CDAI,
(CDAI a scale
evaluating disease activity) and a greater drop in the number of liquid-like stools at 30 and 60
days, compared with individuals taking placebo. Impressively, four out of five subjects in the
probiotic group were able to stop taking anti-diarrheal medications, compared with only one out of
six patients in the placebo group.32

•Immunity and Influenza. A 30-day clinical trial in healthy adults demonstrated that
supplementation with Bacillus coagulans produced a significant increase in immune response to
both adenovirus and influenza A, compared with baseline values.33

 We require a full compliment of EAAs (e.g., lycine is usually missing in

but is p
present in legumesg
this is whyy rice p
protein is combined with
pea protein to achieve the correct complement of EAAs).
 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!!!
