    About this Episode

    Some people are stressed these days, need a boost to their energy levels, mood, and mental state. If your hormones are out of whack, you may want to research maca since it is an alternative to HRT. Maca powder is a superfood, and several studies have shown that it can enhance your mood. It also helps you gain muscle, increases strength, and improves exercise performance. Lastly, it may enhance one's memory, cognition, and brain function.
     
    Just because it's a superfood does not mean it's right for everyone. Here's the caveat since maca impacts the endocrine system that rules your body's hormones. If you have a thyroid disorder, you may want to avoid it unless it's Peruvian maca. Raw maca is a goitrogen and can slow down your thyroid gland.
     
    80% of maca sold in the United States is not authentic Peruvian maca but from China and grown at a much lower altitude than in Peru. Growing maca at lower altitudes does not yield the same beneficial properties. The majority of supplements and products available in the United States are from raw maca, and not recommendedfor people with hypothyroidism. There's been great success with Peruvian maca as an alternative to HRT therapy, peri, and post-menopausal and prostate health. Remember, all herbs are not created equal but heard many good reviews about a brand named Femmenessence.

    Intermitten Fasting

    Intermitten Fasting

    ntermittent fasting is not a fad diet. It is an eating cycle that provides a timeframe for you to eat and a timeframe for you to fast. Always check with your medical practitioner before trying any new exercise, supplement, food, or fasting regime. People with medical issues should refrain from fasting, so always get clearance. If you are pregnant, want to conceive, breastfeeding, have low blood pressure, are diabetic, on medications, have an eating disorder, underweight, have difficulty processing sugar and many other health issues, remember to get clearance.

    Here are some of the benefits of intermittent fasting:
    aids in weight loss
    may lower blood pressure, and blood sugar levels
    may reduce inflammation
    may increase human growth hormone
    changes hormone levels to facilitate weight loss
    increases metabolic rate
    may reduce waist circumference
    Increases release of the fat-burning hormone norepinephrine
    helps you eat fewer calories
    may reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol, blood triglycerides
    may increase the brain hormone BDNF
    may aid the growth of new nerve cells
    may activate autophagy, the ability to old damaged cell components
    may decrease insulin levels, making it easier for the body to use stored fat.

    Very exciting clinical usage of intermittent fasting has occurred for individuals interested in boosting their immune system during this pandemic as a healthy lifestyle choice for prevention of the virus as well as recovery from it.

The healthy way to get rid of the appetite increase hormone, AKA “ghrelin gremlin” is to eat wholesome foods that suppress your appetite. By reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories a day, you could lose 50 pounds in a year!

    Another very important aspect of improving digestion is to improve your mental health since there is scientific research explaining the gut brain connection. A troubled intestine sends signals to the brain, just like a troubled brain sends signals to the gut. Therefore, a person's gut or intestinal distress can be trigger anxiety, stress, and/or depression. It is because the brain and the gut (gastrointestinal system) are intimately connected.

    Sugar Cravings

    Sugar Cravings

    Nine Steps to Control that Insatiable Sweet Tooth

    Sugar is a craveable ingredient.
    Eating sugar releases opioids and dopamine in our bodies. This is the link between added sugar and addictive behavior. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a key part of the “reward circuit” associated with addictive behavior.

    It seems like everyone has that evil sweet tooth, and we must control our sugar cravings before they get the best of us. By getting these sugar cravings under control, then we have a better chance to maintain a healthy weight and live a healthier lifestyle.

    Listen to this podcast and watch the video to learn the 9 Tips to Control Sugar Cravings.

    Here’s nine steps to control your sweet tooth:

    The first step is awareness of how much sugar you are consuming daily. If you think you are indulging in the white stuff, then try cutting back by 50%. Count how much sugar grams you are taking in daily and remember it should be around 15 to 22 grams of sugar daily. Naturally occurring sugar from whole fruit can be utilized as an energy source as well to appease the sweet tooth instead of grabbing the simple carbohydrates.

    Reading labels to monitor your daily sugar intake will be crucial to getting it under control. Remember that any ingredient ending in “-ose” is probably derived from sugar.

    Quench the sugar craving with plain water since a dehydrated body will crave more sweets. Instead of waiting to become dehydrated, you can set an hourly timer to remind yourself to drink a large glass of water.

    Eat balanced meals with whole foods as opposed to processed foods that may contain hidden sugar ingredients. The key to balancing blood sugar is to eat foods that prevent too much insulin from being released, such as protein and healthy fats. Eating a clean food regime will start the detox and cleansing process and help prevent sugar cravings.

    Before reaching for a sugary treat, try adding greens to your meals and even bake them for healthy, crunchy and yummy snacks.
    If you must satisfy that sugar craving, then opt for a healthier alternative with natural sugars from fruits or a small piece of dark chocolate.

    Magnesium regulates glucose and insulin levels, as well as the neurotransmitter dopamine. A deficiency will cause intense sugar cravings, especially for chocolate. You may have a candida overgrowth that makes you crave more sugar. Taking an organic acid test, where you can check your markers and discover where the imbalances are to correct.

    Staying mindful of your sugar cravings and going deeper looking into why you think you need or want that sugar can uncover deep-rooted food issues and feelings that may be causing a vicious cycle in your body and mind.

    Learning how sugar negatively affects our health and contributes to weight gain, obesity, impaired memory, increased risk of heart disease, and diabetes may help you reduce your sugar intake.

    Always remember that your health is worth the planning, mindfulness, time, and effort to live a healthier lifestyle…all because YOU are worth it!

    Mold Exposure

    Mold Exposure

    Mold is estimated to cover twenty-five percent of earth’s biomass, with approximately 100,000 fungal species identified. Indoor mold exposure is a health issue. It can negatively affect your overall wellness. Mold is part of the environment that can travel, spread, and grow by releasing mold spores. Mold can impact your health by creating an allergy, toxicity, or infection. Allergies are most common as 70 allergens have been found in spores of mold fungi, causing allergy symptoms and respiratory issues. Mold toxicity can occur because of the production of toxic chemicals from a mold called mycotoxins. This specific type of mold can produce adverse health effects described as chronic effects from the long-term exposure. If you suspect this, then it’s best to get tested for mycotoxins with a functional medicine urine lab test. Mold infections can occur from fungi such as Candida, Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcus, Blastomyces, and Coccidiosis, and these infections can cause gastrointestinal issues, skin infections, and more.

    Acid Reflux Awareness & Remedies

    Acid Reflux Awareness & Remedies

    According to the American College of Gastroenterology, acid reflux/heartburn affects an estimated 60 million Americans at least once a month and 15 million daily. Acid reflux is a common condition that presents itself with a burning pain, known as heartburn, in the lower chest area. 

    Heartburn, acid reflux, and GERD actually have very different meanings. Acid reflux is a common medical condition that can range in severity from mild to serious. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic, more severe form of acid reflux. Heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux and GERD.

    Most people experience chest discomfort or heartburn after eating or when they lie down or bend over. It results from acid reflux — stomach acid that backs up into the esophagus, which is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. 

    How do you know if you have heartburn or acid reflux?

    Heartburn feels like a burning pain in your chest that may be very bothersome or painful. You also may have a bitter or sour taste in your throat or mouth. Heartburn actually is a symptom of acid reflux, or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD is diagnosed when acid reflux occurs more than twice a week.

    Common causes of acid reflux (and therefore heartburn) include:

    Drinking alcohol

    Smoking

    Obesity

    Poor posture (slouching)

    Certain medications (calcium channel blockers, nitrates, antihistamines, certain asthma medicines

    nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

    antidepressants)

    Certain foods (fatty and fried foods, chocolate, garlic, and onions, Raw onions might also irritate the lining of the esophagus, causing worsened heartburn. caffeinated drinks, acidic foods such as citrus fruits and tomatoes, spicy foods, mint)

    Eating large meals

    Eating too quickly

    Eating before bedtime

    Hiatal hernia stomach

    Pregnancy

    Diabetes

    Increase in stomach acid (from stress, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, stomach tumors)

    Weight gain

    Here are some helpful tips to alleviate or prevent acid.

    • Avoid eating large meals and avoid eating a few hours before your bedtime.
    • Keep a healthy weight since extra weight can cause pressure inside the abdomen.
    • Eat lean protein and less simple carbohydrates because poor carbohydrate digestion can cause acid reflux.
    • Check if you have bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine as it can cause acid reflux.
    • Avoid alcohol as drinking alcohol can worsen acid reflux symptoms.
    • Avoid coffee as it’s linked to worsening acid reflux and heartburn. 
    • Avoid carbonated beverages or citrus juice as they are linked to worsening the condition. 
    • Avoid trigger foods that can aggravate symptoms, such as fatty or greasy foods, chocolate, caffeine, mint, spicy foods, citrus, and tomato-based foods. Avoid chocolate and mint as they can worsen the symptoms.
    • Avoid vaping, smoke or are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke.

    Most of the time, diet and lifestyle changes can help relieve or cure acid reflux symptoms (GERD) and heartburn. Reflect on your lifestyle factors concerning drinking clean water, getting enough sleep, exercising, utilizing stress reduction strategies, meditate, and keep a journal to reach your optimal health.

    Listen to the podcast and learn DIY strategies for combatting acid reflux. 

    What to do? Get tested to determine your GI functioning, avoid certain foods, take natural supplements to boost GI health, natural detox, liver support and glutathione levels. Stay hydrated and keep a food journal to determine patterns between your overall wellness and your food and beverage intake.

    Disclaimer: You should always speak with your physician before taking any medication or nutritional, herbal or homeopathic supplement, or adopting any treatment for a health problem.
