Many ask about GLP-1 pills, injectables, and natural alternatives. These options exist and can be effective with the right supplements and lifestyle changes. For more details, contact our office for a nutritional consultation.
Key Satiety Hormones
Several hormones play pivotal roles in regulating satiety and hunger. Leptin is produced by fat cells (adipocytes) and serves as a long-term signal for energy storage, helping to suppress hunger in the process. Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) is secreted by the intestine and works by slowing stomach emptying and promoting feelings of fullness. Peptide YY (PYY) is released after eating and functions to reduce hunger. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is released in response to fat and protein intake and helps decrease food consumption. Insulin, secreted by the pancreas, not only regulates glucose levels but also acts as a long-term signal for satiety. Adiponectin contributes to fat metabolism and also works to reduce hunger. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) has been identified as a potential hunger suppressant. It works by modulating the neurotransmitters glutamate and dopamine, which may help reduce compulsive eating behaviors and cravings. Additionally, studies suggest that NAC may lower levels of ghrelin, a hormone known for stimulating hunger.

Brief high intensity movement early in the day spikes catecholamines, improves insulin sensitivity, and increases cortical arousal, which helps sustain energy, focus, and metabolic efficiency well into the afternoon.

Exercise Is a Brain Upgrade, Not Just a Workout

What this study shows, backed by real biology:

1. Exercise increases BDNF, the brain protein essential for learning, memory, mood, and neuroplasticity. This is not motivational talk. It is molecular signaling.

2. Your muscles act like an endocrine organ.
During exercise, skeletal muscle releases myokines that directly signal the brain to raise BDNF levels.

3. Lactate is a brain signal, not waste.
Exercise produced lactate crosses the blood-brain barrier and activates hippocampal BDNF gene expression. Blocking lactate transport blocks this effect.

4. The liver helps your brain adapt.
Exercise triggers the liver to release hepatokines like β-hydroxybutyrate, IGF 1, FGF-21, and Gpld1, all linked to higher brain BDNF and neurogenesis.

5. Irisin connects muscle to memory.
Exercise activates PGC 1α in muscle, increasing FNDC5, which is released as irisin. Irisin signals the brain and boosts BDNF-driven synaptic plasticity.

6. Exercise protects against depression biochemically.
Muscle enzymes convert kynurenine, a neurotoxic stress metabolite, into kynurenic acid, which cannot enter the brain and preserves BDNF signaling.

7. This is causal science.
When these pathways are blocked, exercise stops improving memory and neurogenesis. When they are activated, brain benefits appear even without training.

Your brain does not just like exercise.
It depends on it at the molecular level.

Hello everyone. We are getting a lot of snow Sunday into Monday so we will be closed on Monday the 26th and open on Tuesday. Be mindful of your elderly neighbors, shovel frequently so it's not too much all at once and ask for help if needed. Enjoy the peace of being stuck home haha.

Can chiropractic care help? Absolutely!!!
Reducing pain, increasing movement with ability to exercise, and nutritional guidance!!!

Researchers studying trauma and chronic stress found that the autonomic nervous system plays a central role in this process. When under repeated pressure, the body floods itself with cortisol and adrenaline, keeping heart rate and alertness high. Eventually, this state becomes the “new normal,” leading to exhaustion, anxiety, inflammation, and poor immune function.

Therapists and neuroscientists emphasize that healing stress isn’t intellectual; it’s physiological. Practices such as deep breathing, mindful movement, therapy, and grounding exercises help regulate the body from the bottom up, signaling safety back to the brain. Once the body feels secure, the mind begins to follow.

The most powerful shift happens when awareness meets physical release. Crying, stretching, shaking, or even long walks can help the body complete stress cycles that thinking cannot. True calm isn’t achieved through overanalyzing emotions; it’s restored by teaching the body that it no longer needs to fight to survive.

The body holds memory, but it also holds wisdom. Every moment of stillness, every conscious breath, is a step away from survival and a step toward peace.

Our CNS is designed to keep us regulated and alive. So yes, repeated danger is coded in the body, neural pathways are formed any danger triggers that response. Once we strengthen, peace, joy, calm, safety through repeated regulation exercises-we can change that response. Physical exercise helps achieve this as well!
Ages 0-16/21, we are the most nueroplastic thus early childhood or developmental trauma hits harder.
So yes, it remembers joy, comfort, safety- but those experiences do not code as a threat to life so it takes more repetitions. Read “the body keeps the score” or any work by Peter Levine to begin to understand this. Best! www.NJchiropractor.com
