The Power of Food

 





The Power of Food. I am a firm believer that food comes first, and food will heal. It healed me. That being said, I believe in shades of gray, and there is a place for everything, so if you take medication and require it, that is another conversation.  

 

The truth is often time we never accurately give food an honest chance. When I work with clients who stay consistent, disciplined, and committed, their lives transform—their health changes. Eating whole foods and having an active lifestyle will transform your life. 

 

  Every client is unique and requires a tailored program, depending on their current health, knowledge, and willingness. Ultimately, I find my job is educating, coaching, and guiding my clients to build healthy relationships with themselves and with food. 

 

The more I study food, the more I learn. I am continually amazed by its healing properties. I will close out with this; It saddens me; for example, we are not taught more about nutrition in school. If we eat more for health and nutrition, we would have a fraction of the major diseases we have today. Yet Doctors continue to talk about medication first and nutrition as if it doesn't work and, at best, that it is as small a percentage of the population that it may help. My experience is different. This is what is taught. NOT what is FACT! I have clients that have diabetes that is no longer on medication and managing with food and diet today. I have clients that are also on very low dosages of medications that were once on very high levels. They believed they had to maintain high medication levels, which kept them overweight and unhealthy. Again there are times medication is required. However, with a healthier diet, one can have a healthier lifestyle. 

 

5 Tips to Incorporate Healthy Food:

 

1. Eat wholefood or juice as a snack

2. Do a smoothie

3. Get rid of the junk in the house

4. Don't go IN the gas station

5. Don't shop when your hungry 

 Bonus: ask yourself what I am getting out of what I  am doing. What is the goal?

The Magic of Tryptophan

  The Magic of Tryptophan Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is widely known for its role in protein synthesis and as a precursor to serotonin—a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation and sleep. However, its functions extend far beyond these commonly recognized roles. Recent studies uncover the fascinating involvement of tryptophan in gut health, particularly how gut microbes metabolize tryptophan into compounds that profoundly influence gastrointestinal (GI) function and overall well-being. This article explores the complex interactions of tryptophan in the gut, supported by cutting-edge research. Tryptophan’s "magic" truly begins in the gut, where it undergoes metabolic transformations that result in the production of bioactive compounds such as indole and tryptamine. These compounds, produced by gut microbial enzymes, act as pivotal intermediates influencing GI motility, intestinal secretion, and even immune responses. The gut enzyme tryptophanase, expressed by a var...

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond

The Benefits of Akkermansia for Gut Health and Beyond Akkermansia muciniphila, a name that might sound unfamiliar to many, is a bacterium residing in the human gut that has started to gain recognition in the field of health and nutrition. This bacterium, part of the Verrucomicrobia phylum, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the mucosal lining of the gut, impacting metabolic health, diabetes management, and weight regulation. For nutrition enthusiasts and health professionals, understanding the benefits of Akkermansia can open new doors to optimized gut health and overall wellness. Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium that specializes in degrading mucin, a component of the mucus lining of the gut. This unique ability positions Akkermansia as a crucial player in maintaining the integrity of the mucosal barrier. According to Cani (2017), the gut microbiota lies at the intersection of various physiological processes, and Akkermansia’s role is no exc...

The Power of Fiber in Your Diet

  The Power of Fiber in Your Diet Introduction In the realm of health and wellness, fiber often assumes the role of the unsung hero. While vitamins and minerals frequently steal the spotlight, dietary fiber quietly performs its vital functions. From managing blood sugar levels to supporting digestive health, the benefits of fiber are manifold. For health enthusiasts and those keen on optimizing their gut health, understanding the different types of fiber and their specific benefits is crucial. What is Dietary Fiber? Dietary fiber, also known as roughage, is the part of plant foods that our bodies cannot digest. Unlike fats, proteins, or carbohydrates, which our bodies break down and absorb, fiber passes relatively intact through our stomach, small intestine, and colon and out of our body. It is primarily classified into two types based on its solubility in water: soluble and insoluble fiber. Each type offers unique benefits and plays different roles in maintaining our overall healt...
