The BIGGEST problems with diets

• Diet plans are not designed biochemically for the individual

• Diet plans are not for your metabolic type

• Allopathic approaches to nutrients, secondary concern for other organ system, dysfunction adrenal, endocrine, enzyme metabolism, etc.

8/16/2012

MOST RECENT DIET PLANS MAY NOT BE NATURAL FOR HUMANS

The U on a Diet, Abs Diet, South Beach, Atkins, etc…all

miss the problem with the way Americans view food, which is BEIGE, OVER COOKED, PROCESSED, PRESERVED

Who are you? • Fear and Ego

▫ Fear that you might have to change and that is scary ▫ Ego says do what works and if it works a little do more

• Being healthy is taking responsibility for one’s self. ▫ Don’t sabotage your life, don’t prostitute your body for work or

anything/one!

• Your ability to choose is a mental activity that directly influences your well-being because thoughts have energetic properties. ▫ You need to be ‘in shape to really think’ because deep thought

requires that much energy

• What you choose to eat and how you choose to exercise dramatically influences how you interpret life’s events and ultimately how you live. ▫ Are you a human being or a human doing. Sometimes just being

in a place in your mind is the exact exercise you need that day.

Breath Test

Take a deep breath

8/16/2012

11

How many breaths do you take in a min?

Did you use your diaphragm?

How did you do?

Good breathing 10-12 breaths/min = 14,400/day

Stressed 14-18/min=25,920/day

Calm breathing 6-8 breaths = 10,080/day

More you breath the more transpiration of water out of your

body cause increased dehydrated.

Hydration

• Drink ½ your bodyweight in Ounces of high quality water

• =/> 300 ppm TDS

• Hardness =/> 170 mg/L

• pH 7 or Greater

• Filter your Tap water and store in glass or stainless steel container

• Top Brands –(Fiji, Vovic, Evian, Etc) RECYCLE!!!

You Are What You Eat

Organic vs. Commercial Produce

Mineral Vegetables Fruit

Magnesium -60% -90%

Iron -80% -70%

Copper -20% -60%

Sodium -60% -90%

Potassium -90% -80%

8/16/2012

14

You would need to eat >3x’s as much commercial produce to

equal the Nutrients, Vitamins, and Minerals of 1 serving of

organic produce!

If organic is 2x’s as expensive has >3x’s the nutrients and zero

pollutants, chemicals, and fertilizers, then how is it not worth it?

Secondary Nutrients

• There are 5,000-10,000 secondary compounds in plants (aka secondary metabolites or phytonutrients) and many of them are ‘fat soluble!’

• The four categories: 1. Phenolics 2. Terpenes 3. Alkaloids 4. Sulphur-containing compounds

So Why Do Most Diets Fail?

• We blame ourselves and not the diet - Many diets fail in the long run because humans naturally want to blame themselves for the short-comings of the actual diet plan. We tend to tell ourselves that, “the diet didn’t work because that one night I cheated and had ice cream, a beer, etc,” whatever, you fill in the blank. If the diet was truly for your unique biochemistry than you may not have the urge to cheat and you could be living a truly healthy lifestyle 80% of the time and the other 20% cheat without much changing in your progression.

• Most diets are ‘Nutritionism’ or Multi-Level Nutrition Marketing Scams – Yes, everyone needs some sort of supplementation because even the best foods are not as nutritious as the used to be and our lifestyle may affect the absorption and assimilation of the foods we eat.

• You MUST rely on food not supplements to thrive – Human will do anything to survive, but this course is about thriving and ONLY high quality foods for your type and specific for you are your primary concern.

Metabolic Typing

• Protein Type – Fast Oxidizing of carbohydrates ▫ Must use protein and fats to balance blood sugar ▫ Must supplement Calcium to balance acidity

• Carbohydrate Type – Slow Oxidizing of carbohydrates ▫ Must stay away from fatty foods because it will slow

them down more ▫ Must supplement Potassium to balance alkalinity

• Mixed Type – Mixed/Changing Oxidation ▫ Must constantly balance meals ▫ Must remain in balanced acidity/alkalinity

Macronutrient Chart

Protein Carbohydrate Fat

Food Source Meat, Poultry, Dairy

Fruits, Vegetables, Sprouted-Grains

Oil, Nuts, Meat, Cheese

Molecular Structure

Breakdown into peptides and amino acids

Breakdown into sugar and starch

Breakdown into triglycerides and fatty acids

Metabolic Role The main structural ingredient of human cells and the enzymes that keep them running

A primary source of energy for all living things, and structural component of plasma membranes

A structural component of cell membranes, a source of insulation, and a means of energy storage

36

Proportion Sizes

1. Don’t Stress Out about the sizes, weights, quantities, etc.

2. Concentrate on the what your body is telling you

3. Rule of Thumb:

▫ Protein = Size of your palm without fingers

▫ Carbs = Size of your Fist

▫ Fats = the Circular Size between your index finger and thumb

8/16/2012

37

Planning to Lose Weight

• BREAKFAST – ORGANIC EGGS, FRESH ORGANIC FRUITS AND VEGGIES (ACCORDING TO METABOLIC TYPE)

• SNACKS – CUCUMBERS, CELERY WITH AVACADO, NUTS, TUNA IN A LETTUCE WRAP

• LUNCH- SALAD WITH PROTEIN, SPROATED BREAD WITH FREE-RANGE ORGANIC MEAT SANDWICHES (NOT COLD CUTS)

• DINNER – JUST EAT PROTEIN (FISH, BEEF, PORK, LAMB, CHICKEN, BISON, FOWL) AND VEGETABLES, THEN BRUSH YOUR TEETH

8/16/2012

38

Proteins

• Vitamin A and D are found only in animal fat Beta Carotene needs bile to convert to Vitamin A

• Cholesterol is an important nutrient ▫ Mother’s milk is 55% cholesterol (how much is in formula?)

• Many Nutrients are better absorbed from or in the presence of animal products ▫ Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu

• B6 is available mostly in animal products • Usable B12 is available only in animal product

▫ B12 is almost completely destroyed by pasteurization

8/16/2012

39

Carbohydrates • The only source of energy for your nervous system • Organic Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, and Bean up to 40X

more nutrients and secondary nutrients • Eat mostly raw or lightly cooked to preserve enzymes

and nutrients • Ground Vegetables tend to be high-glycemic, so choose

lower-glycemic above ground plants • Fiber, both soluble and insoluble, assists digestion,

elimination, and detoxification • Fiber, lowers blood fats, balances blood sugar, improves

energy and immunity • Fiber should come primarily from veggies not grains

8/16/2012

40

Fats • Trans-fatty acid cause cancer and

heart disease (hydrogenated oils) • LA (linoleic acid) and LNA

(linolenic acid) must be acquired from diet ▫ From these two fatty acids, our

bodies can make all the rest • Alpha omega -3 fatty acids balance

the 6’s ▫ eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) ▫ docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

Cooking with Oils Always use unrefined organic oil

No Heat (up to 120 F) • Flax seed oil • Borage oil • Hemp seed oil • Cod liver oil Low Heat (up to 212 F) • Safflower oil • Sunflower oil • Pumpkin oil Medium Heat (325 F) light sautéing • Sesame oil • Pistachio oil • Hazelnut oil • Olive oil High Heat (375 F) Frying, browning • Coconut oil • Ghee (clarified butter) • Palm oil • Lard • Butter

Guess who ate ‘White Devils’? 8/16/2012

42

“White Devils”-Dr. Weston A. Price • Processed Sugar is considered a poison to most

psychologists, biochemists, and endocrinologists much like cocaine ▫ Average American has 120 lbs of sugar per year

• Processed Wheat Flour has higher glycemic index

than straight sugar

• Processed High Fructose Corn Syrup has causes metabolic syndrome by blocking insulin

• Un-sproated Grains have Phytic acid that is present in the bran of all grains, the coating of nuts and seeds and inhibits the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc

8/16/2012

43

8/16/2012

44

How Sweet It Is?

• Acrylamide- browned potato sugar none carcinogen ▫ 0.5 ppb carcinogenic ▫ 400 ppb in a small French fry

• Aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful) – excitotoxin kills brains cells, systemic lupus, MS, Alzheimer’s ▫ Average victim had 3 diet drinks a day

• Sucurolose (Splenda)-organochlorines are same chemical family as pesticide and nerve gas ▫ Attacks your thymus gland cause adverse side effects

• Sacharrrin (Sweet n Low)- know bladder cancer causing sweetener

8/16/2012

45

Fat Facts • Year 1920 – heart disease becomes apparent in

USA, 1912 Dr.’s suggest hydrogenated vegetable oils to blame, Lobbyists blame unsaturated animal fats ▫ 1910 people ate 83% of fats from animals ▫ 1970 people ate 62% of fats from animals ▫ Yet Cholesterol only up 1%

• By 1970 Butter consumption down from 18 lbs to just 4 lbs per person per year

• Yet presently heart disease and cholesterol linked to 40-60% of all deaths in USA ▫ Since 1970 refine vegetable oil, processed sugar, processed

corn products, processed grains up 400%! • One would think if unsaturated fats from

animals caused heart disease and high cholesterol than animal fat consumption would of gone up, but it has not.

8/16/2012

YOU ARE WHAT YOU DRINK?

The human body is designed to drink 2 substances 1. Breast Milk

After breast fed never need milk again! Comprised of 55% cholesterol, cow’s milk only 20%

2. Clean Water Top Brands –(Fiji, Vovic, Evian, Etc) RECYCLE!!!

Juices Raises blood sugar, fructose raises cholesterol Lacks nutrients found in pulp Lack dietary fiber Pasteurization kills the juice and enzymes

Alcohol is directly absorbed into blood through stomach Raises blood sugar level Replaces water in blood Alcohol dehydrogenase enzymatic breakdown of alcohol produce

acetate (a none toxin to your liver) Metabolizing acetate shunts lipid digestion, or fat metabolism (1 oz

alcohol = 20 hour shunt of fat metabolism)

Stress

• Dr. Hans Selye’s Definition of Stress (1926) “Stress is the body’s nonspecific response to a

demand placed on it.” ▫ Distress – negative stressors ▫ Eustress – positive stressors ▫ Neutrals – stressor that by themselves are neither

positive or negative

8/16/2012

55

Most stressors fall into the Neutrals when the distressors

are handled and not avoided!

Stress

• No one can live without experiencing some degree of stress all the time. You may think that only serious disease or intensive physical or mental injury can cause stress. This is false. Crossing a busy intersection, exposure to a draft, or even sheer joy are enough to activate the body's stress-mechanism to some extent. Stress is not even necessarily bad for you; it is also the spice of life, for any emotion, any activity causes stress. (Selye 1926)

HPA Axis •The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is a complex set of interactions between the hypothalamus (a part of the brain), the pituitary gland (also part of the brain) and the adrenal or suprarenal glands (at the top of each kidney.)

•The HPA axis helps regulate things such as your temperature, digestion, immune system, mood, sexuality and energy usage.

•It's also a major part of the system that controls your reaction to stress, trauma and injury.

Endocrinology Pineal Gland • Melatonin – Influences sleep/wake cycles • Serotonin – Influences sensory perception • Adrenoglomerulotropin – Stimulates

release of aldosterone from adrenals • Pinealin – Lowers blood sugar, protects

pancreas Pituitary (anterior) • GH – Promotes growth of all bodily tissues • TSH – Stimulates thyroid to produce its

hormones • ACTH – Stimulates adrenal cortical hormones • PRL – Stimulates secretion of milk of

mammaries • FSH – Stimulates activity of ovarian follicles &

testes • LH, ICSH – Cause development of corpus

luteum in females and stimulates testosterone in males

Pituitary (posterior) • ADH – Stimulates contraction of blood vessels • Oxytocin – Causes uterine contractions,

release of milk Thyroid • Thyroxine (T4) – T4 to T3 conversion

increases metabolic rate • Calcitonin – Decreases calcium level in blood

Parathyroids • Parathyroid Hormone – Increase calcium in the

blood Thymus • Thymosin – Aids in growth and activity of T-cells Pancreatic Islets • Insulin – Aids transport of glucose into cells • Glucagon – Stimulates liver to release glucose Ovaries • Estogens – Activates female sex organs • Progesterone – Prepares female organs for pregnancy • Relaxin – Prepares female organs for childbirth Testes • Testosterone – Activate male sex organs Adrenal (medulla) • Epinephrine - prepares body for “fight of flight” • Norepinephrine – increase blood pressure • Dopamine – Dilates arteries, increase cardiac output Adrenal (cortex) • Cortisol – Active during stress, aids digestive

metabolism • Aldosterone – Aids in regulating electrolytes & fluid

balance • Sex Hormones – Aids in secondary sexual

characteristics

diarrhea • Excessive sweating without exercise • Feel warm and flushed at room

temperature

63

Testing Thyroid Activity

• Basal temperature test

▫ Temperature check – under the armpit 2 consecutive mornings

▫ Hyperthyroid – above 98.2°F

▫ Normal Thyroid – 97.8°F to 98.2°F

▫ Hypothyroid – below 97.8°F

▫ 85% reliable near 100% with associate symptoms

8/16/2012

64

If left undiagnosed… • Acid indigestion • Acne • Allergies • Arthritis • Asthma • Atherosclerosis • Breast disease (benign) • Cancer (all kinds) • Canker sores • Cellulitis • Diabetes • Eczema • Emphysema • Gallstones • Gout • Hives • Hypoglycemia • Impetigo

65

How does this occur

• Disease, stress, negative thoughts, fasting, semi-starvation diets push your body into conservation mode to heal, but gets stuck in entrainment in only 7-21 days

• Increased estrogen level imbalance T4 to T3 conversion to activate metabolism

• Fluoride in toothpaste, water, and dental treatments destroying your thyroid all together

8/16/2012

66

Emotion, Glands and Their Effects

• Thyroid – Hypothyroidism ▫ Negative Thoughts - feeling victimized, unfulfilled, left

out, “I never get to do what I want to do”, “when is it going to be my turn”

• Thymus – decreased production of Thymosin to mature killer T-lymphocytes (T-cells) ▫ Long feelings of not safe or protected, attacked by life,

fear others are out to get you • Pancreas – Hypoglycemia and Type-II

Diabetes ▫ Feelings of rejection, anger, frustration, loss of joy

• Adrenals – Adrenal Fatigue not Hypothyriodism ▫ Feeling pressure, 'on the go’, and never enough time

8/16/2012

67

Adrenal Fatigue • Stage 1 – The first stage, which is called hyper-adrenalism, is characterized by

abnormally high cortisol levels and subnormal DHEA levels. With the high cortisol levels you may still have energy, perhaps too much, and you may not be sleeping well or restfully. You may be losing muscle mass because cortisol cannibalizes muscle for energy resulting in weakness. It may also cause moon face and weight gain around the trunk as well as fluid retention and glucose intolerance. Cortisol decreases serotonin levels which may cause depression, it also decreases melatonin levels which adds to poor sleep. It is also immunosuppressive which may result in frequent infections and illness. High cortisol can cause hot flushes in women which is often considered only an estrogen deficient symptom. Sugar cravings, confusion and muscle weakness may also occur.

• Stage 2 –is where cortisol supplies have finally run low but have not run out yet. For a year or so cortisol and DHEA will hover in the low-normal range leaving you feeling tired and stressed, but functional.

• Stage 3- is where cortisol and DHEA levels are low for most of the day leaving you with low energy levels. Common signs and symptoms of adrenal exhaustion include: inability to tolerate exercise, depression, dark circles under the eyes, lack of mental alertness, headaches, edema, salt and/or sugar cravings, feeling tired all the time, mentally and emotionally overstressed, light headedness, heartburn, low blood pressure, recurrent infections and trouble sleeping.

Mercury in retrograde •Communications go awry - phone calls, letters, emails,

faxes, conversations are delayed, misinterpreted, blocked.

•Recheck everything like appointment times, spelling,

wording, the words you say.

•Anticipate detours - memory lapses, confusion, failing to

listen, failing to confirm, negotiation failures, changing of

plans.

•Avoid signing documents, contracts if possible. You can

wait 3 weeks, hopefully.

•Expect travel delays, car trouble, delayed plane

schedules, reservations that suddenly becoming

"missing", transportation difficulties of all kinds.

•Expect problems with messages, books, letters,

magazines, documents, neighbors and the near

environment.

•BACK up your computer files! This is the time the

screen goes blank and there is nothing there! Expect the

phone lines, cable lines, power lines to have problems.

Why calorie restriction never works!

Disrupts hormones increases insulin, cortisol

which over activates sympathetic nervous system

and adrenal exhaustion

Disrupts enzyme activity decreases lypolytic (fat burning) enzymes and

increases lypogenic (fat storing) enzymes

Decreases muscle mass decreases metabolic rate

Syndrome – X

insulin resistance

8/16/2012

82

Skipping meals • Hormonal response to increase insulin because

body thinks it’s in famine

▫ Insulin forces your body to store energy

If you are active you store energy in your muscles as glycogen

If you are inactive you store energy in your fat cells

Inactivity makes your muscles insensitive to insulin causing more energy to be stored as fat

• Eating too many carbohydrates has same response

• Skipping just one meal increases the release of lipogenic (fat storing) enzymes

8/16/2012

83

Digestion

• Organs ▫ Appestat and Adipostat

▫ Mouth

▫ Stomach

▫ Small Intestine

▫ Pancreas

▫ Gall Bladder

▫ Liver

▫ Colon

8/16/2012

84

Appestat and Adipostat

• Hypothalamus

8/16/2012

85

• 51 nutrients are needed to

satisfy your appestat to tell you

that you are full

•Adipostat needs enough good

fatty acids to tell you are full

•Together these sensors will tell

you that you are getting enough

nutrients and fats

Food for Thought: Processed food lack

nutrients and fat, maybe that is why we

over eat?

Mouth

• Chewing – turns food into smaller pieces for the stomach

• Saliva – mixes with food to breakdown carbs

“Drink your Food,

Eat your Water!”

8/16/2012

86

Stomach • Hydrochloric Acid 0.2 to 0.5 pH

▫ kills fungus and bacteria

▫ Stimulated by salt (not sodium chloride)

• Pepsinogen to Pepsin

▫ Pepsin breaks down proteins into proteoses, peptones, and polypeptides

• Gastric Lipase

▫ Emulsified fats (triglycerides) broken down to fatty acids and glycerol

• Intrinsic Factor (Vitamin B12 Absorption)

8/16/2012

87

Small Intestine

Duodenum • Bile and Pancreatic Juice

alkaline the acid with sodium bicarbonate

• 3 Proteases breakdown proteins further

• Lipase (steapsin) splits fats

• Amylase breaks down starches, dextrins, and glycogen

• Nucleinases and Nucleotidases finish the protein breakdown to polypeptides

Jejunum • 21+ feet long where all food is

absorbed into the body

• Final digestion of carbohydrates occurs in mucosa of villi

• Free fatty acids are combined with lymph fluid to form Chyle which circulates to veins

8/16/2012

88

Small Intestine Vitamin and Mineral

Absorption NEEDS:

• Good Hydrochloric Acid in stomach for ionization

• Sufficient Protein for amino acids in duodenum

▫ Charged ions of vitamins and minerals bond with amino acids and are absorbed with amino acids.

EXPENSIVE VITAMINS!

Large Intestine (Colon)

• 5-6 feet long x 3 inches diameter

• Houses trillions of bacteria both good and bad 85% good and 15 % bad in a healthy person

• Feces timing, size, consistency, and color can elude overall health

POOP!!!

• You should poop 12 inches a day

▫ Can be all at once or a few times a day

• You should poop at the same time everyday

• Your poop should pass easily

• Your poop shouldn’t stink

• Your poop should be light brown and fluffy

Poopie Line-up and Poopie Policeman

1. Mr. Sinker & Stinker – toxic bowel, meds, processed foods

2. Olympic Swimmer – Too much fat, HCL or bile deficiency

3. Bodybuilder – dehydrated foods, powder, shakes

4. Pellet Man – Dehydration of body

5. Diarrhella – detoxify your diet

6. Flasher – food intolerance or inflammation disorder

Bacteria in you Gut!

Facts • Good Bacteria produce B1, B2,

B3, B5, B6, Vitamins A and K (potassium)

• They also produce lactic acid as a byproduct that helps contract the muscles of the colon for peristalsis

• Too much unfriendly bacteria disrupt peristalsis and back up your colon, which becomes toxic

Probiotics • Eli Metchnikoff Nobel prize

winner discovered the microfauna

• Prevention of ▫ Colon cancer -amines

▫ Lower cholesterol -bile

▫ Lower blood pressure- ACE inhibitor

▫ Increases Immune System – increase IgA, lowers IgE, IgG, IgM and others

▫ Decrease Dental Caries

▫ Increase mineral absorption

▫ Decrease inflammation

If you have experienced any of the following situations in the last 6 months, you may benefit from a probiotic replenishment course: ▫ Being sick (cold, flu, strep throat, etc.)

▫ Being under stress (this can be either positive OR

negative stress, such as getting married or losing your job)

▫ Taking certain antibiotics

▫ Other immune compromising factors

Problems with Digestion

Other Problems include:

• Acid Reflux – too LITTLE HCl is being produced

• Flatulence – Too little HCl, food combining, legumes

• Celiac Disease – chronic inflammation of the gut, stop eating gluten forever!

• Ulcers – high fiber diet, test for H. pylori bacteria

• Gallbladder – find fats/oils in feces, may supplement bile salts, wrong MT

Digestive healing may include: ▫ Enzyme therapy ▫ Gallbladder/liver cleanse ▫ Colon cleanse ▫ Re-population of

probiotics ▫ Eating right for your MT

for 120+ days

Digestive Health Actions • Drink 1-2 Glasses of water 15

minutes prior to each meal • Avoid processed foods and foods

that are enzyme/nutrient deficient • If Digestion is poor, test for food

allergy/intolerance • Use digestive enzymes as needed

(HCL deficient) • Beware of Phytic Acids and Enzyme

inhibitors in seeds and grains • Chew your foods until liquefied • If digestion is challenged, eat

smaller meal more frequently • Whenever possible, start meals with

live foods for enzyme support (salad, papaya, and pineapples first)

• Avoid consuming more liquid than needed to wash foods down while eating

• Avoid all stressful situations while eating ▫ Don’t watch the news ▫ Play relaxing music

• Those with digestive troubles should NOT read while eating, vision is very energy demanding. Eyes are reflexively linked to digestion.

• Good digestion depends on good bowel habits

• Use unprocessed sea salt as needed, this supports HCL production

• Exercise stimulates digestion and metabolism ▫ People who don’t move enough

tend to get constipated • Avoid dehydrated food unless fully

rehydrated

Why We All Need Detoxification? Foods and Beverages Contain Parasites

• giardia lamblia

• Cryptosporidium

• blastocystis hominis

Other Foods and Beverages Are Contaminated by Bacteria

• helicobacter pylori,

• klebsiella

• Citrobacter

• pseadomoas

• and other chemicals in fermented and processed food (dyes, preservatives, peroxidized fats)

Enzyme Deficiencies

• Celiac disease - lactase deficiency causing lactose intolerance

• NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ASA, ibuprofen, indomethancin, etc

Prescription corticosteroids • Prednisone

High refined carbohydrate diet • candy bars • cookies • cake • soft drinks • white bread

Prescription hormones • birth control pills

Mold and fungal mycotoxins • stored grains • Fruit • Refined carbohydrates More common is the fact that many people are

suffering from mycotoxicosis (toxic mold poisoning, like Candida albicans).

Complications of Detoxification System

• Impaired Detox Capacity ▫ You are what you eat

▫ You are what you absorb

▫ You are what you don’t eliminate

• Sources of Toxins ▫ Processed foods

▫ Alcohol, caffeine, artificial preservatives, colorings, and flavorings

▫ Medications, hormones, antibiotics

▫ Chemicals from fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc

▫ Heavy metal toxicity from dental fillings, contaminated food and water

• Poisons released in environment ▫ Over 550,000,000 lbs of industrial

chemicals dumped in public sewage

▫ Over 1,000,000,000 lbs of chemicals released into the ground, threatening ground water

▫ Over 188,000,000 lbs of chemicals discharged into surface water

▫ Over 2,400,000,000 lbs of air emissions pumped into atmosphere

▫ Total of 5,705,670,380 lbs of pollutants released into our environment in 1998

▫ The half-life of these chemicals are far longer than we think!

8/16/2012

102

Environmental Endocrine Disruption

• October 21, 1998 an EPA advisory group suggested to screen 87,000 chemicals that cause disruption to human endocrine systems, but that was too expensive and they only tested 25,000.

• (EPA/630/R-96/012 )February 1997 Special Report

▫ “A hypothesis has been proposed that certain chemicals may disrupt the endocrine system.” “Possible human health endpoints (ways to die) affected by these agents include breast cancers and endometriosis in women, testicular and prostate cancers in men, abnormal sexual development, reduced male fertility, alteration in pituitary and thyroid gland functions, immune suppression, and nuero behavioral effects.” (page 7)

8/16/2012

103

Environmental Endocrine Disruption • Estrogen-like pesticides PCB, DDE, DDT linked to Breast Cancer

▫ “…women whose breasted sequestered the highest levels pesticides were 10 to 100x’s more likely to develop breast cancer than women with lower levels.” (Living Downstream, Steingraber page 10-11)

▫ We believe it would represent a serious error in judgment to ignore the clear message from these combined studies published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and AMA that estrogen/progestin therapy increases risk of breast cancer.” (Kuller J. Natl Cancer Inst 92(4):328-332)

▫ These cases of occupational exposure to pesticides provided evidence that these chemicals may be estrogenic. Subsequent experiments on lab animals unambiguously confirmed their estrogenic activity. Recent findings, in the observation of specific wildlife populations exposed to combinations of environmental chemicals, provide sufficient evidence that many of these compounds have hormone-like activity and may be causing serious reproductive effects.” (J. of Steroid Biochemistry. Molecular biology Vol. 65 (1-6) pp. 143-150 1998).

Toxins in our Food • We allow over 10,000 food

and chemical additives into our food supply

• Average American consumes ~14 lbs. of additives a year

• In addition to colorings, preservatives, flavorings, emulsifiers, humectants, and antimicrobials, we consume on average 120 lbs of processed sugar and 8 pounds of process salt (Do you know what your patients eat, Cheraskin 1976)

3 Landmines 1. Smoking

▫ 2 million preventable deaths per year

▫ Cigarettes kills more than AIDS, Heroin, Cocaine, Alcohol, Car Accidents, Fire and Murders Combined each year (Surviving the toxic Crises, Keller & Dworkin)

▫ Cigarette Smoke (with Cadmium and Nickel) destroys the conductivity of the electronic schematics of the body and the cells (Electrogenetics Biological Liquid Crystal Theory, Garnett)

▫ Cured Tobacco ( a proprietary process of adding yeast and sugars to tobacco) induces lung cancer (The Fungus Link, Kaufmann

2. Heavy Metals – Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Nickel, and Aluminum

▫ Collect inside cells and disrupts their ability to carry out their functions

▫ Worse yet, it can cause the cells to act abnormally, increasing risk of cancer

▫ Cadmium, lead, and mercury impair 5’deiodinase causing thyroid dysfunction

▫ 1000x the amount of lead in our bones then 100 years ago

3. Chlorine and Fluoride

▫ Eliminate chlorine from ALL household items

▫ Most chlorine and fluoride found at bathroom sink, showering cleansers, shampoo, and the water!

8/16/2012

Putting It All Together

8/16/2012

115

Exercise Anabolic-accumulating: • Tissue building • Facilitates

digestion/elimination • Energy accumulating • Learning/growth optimized • Resistance training facilitates

when rest is adequate • Facilitates growth and repair

after exercise or physical stress

Catabolic-spending: • Tissue destructive • Retards

digestion/elimination • Debilitates learning! • Injury repair: • Removing the old to make

room • for the new! • Energy spending • Aerobic training facilitates

8/16/2012

116

Resistance

Training = Anabolic

Aerobic Cardio =

Catabolic

IF You are trying to lose weight, what

is the first thing people want to do? • For some reason everyone wants to start with

the easy aerobic cardio ▫ Average overweight person is losing 1 lb. of muscle

each year ▫ Average obese person is losing 2 lbs. of muscle

each year

8/16/2012

117

• These people may actually train their bodies to store more fat, turn protein into fat, and gain weight after initial loses.

No wonder some many people fail!

Why does this happen?

8/16/2012

118

More Physiological Stress = Easier

Modes of Working Out • High level physiological loads (as determined from questionnaires) needs

only low level intensity work outs, or working in! ▫ Zone Exercises ▫ Tai Chi ▫ Qigong ▫ Yoga

• Moderate level physiological loads can do general strengthening resistance training ▫ Posture correction ▫ Core activation training ▫ Hypertrophy weaken muscle training ▫ Moderate interval cardiovascular training

• Low level physiological loads can benefit from high intensity training ▫ Total body strength training ▫ Supersets ▫ High intensity circuits ▫ High intensity interval cardiovascular training

8/16/2012

119

Parasympathetic Nervous System

Exercises • Breathing – correct breathing requires mental

control when moving, so learn to breath then learn to move ▫ Meditation ▫ Qigong ▫ Tai Chi ▫ Yoga

• Strength Training ▫ Pilates ▫ Resistance Training

8/16/2012

120

Resistance Training

• REPS, SETS, WEIGHT, INTENSITY, AND RECOVERY

▫ The number of reps of a weight and the intensity of the each rep will dictate the muscle fibers used

▫ The number of sets and recovery time between sets will determine the muscle fibers used

▫ 2 types of muscle fiber types

Fast twitch-strong, powerful

Slow twitch-endure

▫ You will go from one muscle fiber type to the other depending on the variables of your workout

8/16/2012

121

Lactic Acid Training

• Resistance Training performed at moderate weights, higher intensities (faster), and little rest will cause a release of lactic acid

• Lactic Acid production is linked to growth hormone release, increases metabolism, and huge increases in fat burn

• VO2 max can be increased through challenging circuits faster than endurance training ▫ Imagine training for a marathon with minimum

running? People are doing it!

8/16/2012

122

Balancing Act • When you are doing appropriate resistance

training and interval cardio what else should you do?

• Probably need a low intensity de-stressing yoga class or do some zone exercises to get mind/body connection.

• Yogis love doing cardio, but lack resistance training, is this appropriate? Everyone is different, but most would benefit greatly

from building muscle tissue and stimulating more growth hormone release

8/16/2012

123

8/16/2012

124

Adrenal • The adrenal type has fat

that sags from the abdomen. This type craves salt or chocolate, has anxiety, feels the need for coffee or stimulants, suffers from chronic inflammation and tends to wake up in the middle of the night. This person needs foods high in potassium, calcium and vitamin C, like leafy greens, mushrooms, oranges, grapefruit and apples. He should also consume adequate amounts of protein (50-75 grams) to replace loss of body protein (muscles). Light and slow exercise is ideal for this body type. An adrenal body type is already in a state of “burnout,” and adding more stress through intense exercise will stress the adrenal glands even more.

8/16/2012

125

Ovary

• Obviously, this type is exclusively found in women. Someone with an ovary type carries excess fat accumulated around hips and thighs (“saddlebags”),with a lower stomach bulge just beneath the navel. This type craves ice cream, cream cheese, sour cream or milk, often has pain in the lower back/hip area, suffers from hot flashes and lowered sex drive, and has problems surrounding menstruation. Ovary types need to consume lots of cruciferous vegetables, since they are antiestrogenic. They should also consume adequate amounts of protein (50-75 grams) to help trigger fat-burning hormones. Meats and fats consumed should be hormone-free, since environmental hormones can affect ovaries. Ideally, this type should combine light and intense exercise for maximum benefit.

8/16/2012

126

Thyroid

• Those in this category will show weight gain all over the body rather than just in one particular place. This person craves sweets, breads and pasta, can suffer from depression, often has brittle nails, dry hair and hair loss, becomes tired in the early evening and has dry skin especially on the hands and elbows. The thyroid body type needs iodine and should consume lots of non-cruciferous vegetables. In addition, the metabolic rate is slow and cannot tolerate excessive protein. Going light on fats is advised. High-intensity, short-duration exercise is recommended for this body type.

8/16/2012

• Someone with a malfunctioning liver has fluid that leaks into the sac around the abdomen, giving a “potbelly” appearance. This type craves deep-friend foods or potato chips, has pain or tightness in the right shoulder area, often suffers from flaky skin or dandruff in eyebrows and scalp, has hot or swollen feet, shows a yellow tint in the whites of the yes, is irritable in the morning, and often has a tight feeling over the right lower stomach area or ribcage. Liver types need foods high in potassium such as cruciferous vegetables, and should also consume easily digestible protein sources (i.e., fish and eggs). High-intensity, short-duration exercise is recommended. Berg’s plan teaches readers how to attack the true cause of their weight problems: Unbalanced hormones. As he so aptly explains, you can achieve weight loss and better health after you help your glandular system operate in a balanced way.
