HIGH CORTISOL:
Feeling stressed out? We were not made to have stress morning, noon and night and while sleeping!! When cortisol is elevated for prolonged periods of time it impacts many aspects of your health and aging. Cortisol is a ‘tear down’ (catabolic) hormone when elevated for long periods of time. While losing muscle, you gain fat, especially around the middle.
When your body is pumping out cortisol, you are using up stores of vitamins and minerals to keep up with the output.
Think of it like a tank of gas that is getting empty while driving at high speed, up hills and around bends.
Your tank gets empty and the demand for nutrients increases. Eventually you can burn out the production of cortisol as your body gets more and more depleted.
Focus on strategies to lower cortisol in addition to the supplements and herbs that help balance cortisol production.

Brain fitness is top of mind for most people. Dementia is rising fast. People are more afraid of it especially when they experience brain fog, forgetfulness or can’t find words/ remember people’s names.

Why does this happen?
❌Sedentary lifestyle
❌Obesity
❌Insulin Resistance
❌Regular alcohol consumption
❌Modern diets: High carb, highly processed

Physical fitness helps brain fitness.
Whole foods focused on adequate protein and low carb vegetables, with good fats help brain fitness. The basics for health helps you brain.

Other ways to improve brain fitness are

✅Opposite hand day: see if you can wear your watch on the opposite hand, brush your teeth, eat with the opposite hand.
✅Try new routes to your most common destinations.
✅Grain free and low/no sugar diets are best to lower your risk of dementia
✅Sleep! You must get restorative sleep that leaves you feeling refreshed in the mornings.
✅Ensure you have a healthy blood pressure throughout the day and it ‘dips’ at night.
✅Live a low toxin lifestyle. Most toxins are fat soluble, get stored in fat: your brain is made of fat!!!
✅Know your numbers! Insulin, LDL, non-HDL, ApoE, hs-CRP, ferritin, cortisol (salivary cortisol curve is the gold standard)

Look and Feel Younger.

Digestive health is foundational to healthy aging and longevity.
Digestive health is also intricately intertwined with skin health.

Your gut has trillions of microorganisms which make up your microbiome. They train your immune system, influence brain chemistry, involved with production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) which influence the health of your colon, immunity, and have been shown to decrease the risk of inflammatory diseases/ type 2 diabetes/ obesity/ heart disease and colon cancer.
A healthy microbiome influences your long term health and vitality.
It is affected by your food choices, medications, stress and antibiotics, among other factors.

Your gut lining is 1 cell layer thick. When this lining gets disrupted, it is called ‘leaky gut’. The medical terminology is ‘intentional permeability’

When you have leaky gut, you can have a myriad of symptoms, many unrelated to your gut. These include:

- bloating
- inflammation
- headaches
- joint pain
- fatigue
- brain fog
- insomnia
- irritability
- heartburn
- IBS symptoms
- fluid retention.

The Gut- Brain axis has long been recognized after Dr. Gershon discovered the enteric nervous system that runs from the gut to the brain, separate from the central and peripheral nervous system that has been known for decades.

The Gut-Skin axis is something fairly new, where the connection of gut dysfunction and gut dysbiosis are now recognized as contributors to skin disorders like acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and pruritis.

What to do?
1. Eat whole foods.
Eliminate dairy and gluten (and all Grain if symptoms are more severe), processed foods, alcohol and sugars.
Follow a
Strict elimination diet for 30 days.

2. Take a high quality probiotic like Super Pro 3 to rebuild the gut bacteria.

3. Rest your gut between meals.
Stop snacking. Eat 3 meals a day only.

4. Use a medical food like The Optimizer to heal the gut, support digestion, decrease inflammation and replete your body with essential nutrients required to repair and support your gut health.
