Shea's Health and Nutrition

Shea's Health and Nutrition We help clients set up personalized diet and supplement protocols based on their individual needs.

We use your symptoms, functional assessment, blood work, hair analysis, and urine analysis to figure out exactly what support your body needs. At Peak Nutritional Therapy we promote a whole foods nutrient dense diet. My goal is to help people improve their lives through nutrition. I would like to help you improve your symptoms from any autoimmune disease, inflammation, fatigue, blood sugar regulation, weight management, digestive issues or skin issues. I will work with you to identify your specific nutrient deficiencies, and come up with a plan to get more of the nutrients you need in your diet. If necessary I will guide you through therapeutic diets to relieve symptoms you are experiencing from specific conditions. I will also guide you on what supplements you should be taking for your specific situation. You don't need to live with your symptoms, let me help you to a better quality of life.

Phosphatidylserine is an absolutely incredible nutrient. It can help normalize your day/night cortisol rhythms. It supports normal cortisol levels in response to stress by normalizing the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. It is our secret weapon to combat grinding teeth at night.

Tyrosine also helps deal with stress by regulating epinephrine and norepinephrine. It supports dopamine production along with phenylalanine.

Tryptophan supports melatonin and serotonin production.

Threonine (Not Theanine) is an essential amino acid that never gets talked about. Threonine is required to produce mucins, which are glycoproteins that form the mucus layer that protects the intestinal tract, promoting a healthy gut barrier. This makes it and glutamine crucial for supporting all autoimmune issues. It also It is also required for elastin which provides structure and elasticity to the skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

Taurine plays a lot of roles in the body. To me the most important role is shuttling minerals in and out of your cells.

Theanine creates a calm but mentally alert state, and helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Theanine helps avoid the jitters or a crash when consuming caffeine.

Today's post includes a couple more essential amino acids, meaning the body can not make them. Methionine is incredibly important for your detoxification pathways. Methionine is crucial for hormone, protein, and enzyme metabolism as a primary methyl donor via S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)

Lysine is needed to put amino acids back into proteins. It is a building block of collagen and crucial to skin repair and firmness, especially in the face. It also keeps Epstein Barr Viruses from replicating, making it crucial when combatting fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

If you are on a GLP-1 medication you need to be taking in leucine since it has anti-catabolic effects. It promotes muscle protein synthesis and prevents muscle loss through HMB.

Glycine is probably the most overlooked amino acid. Everyone talks about magnesium glycinate for sleep, but it is the glycine not the magnesium that is helping. Glycine plays a role in the production of melatonin, and can even slightly lower core body temperature before bed.
GABA is an absolute powerhouse in supporting anxiety, it also tells the brain "leave me alone for a bit so I can go to sleep".
Glutamine is what makes bone broth so good at repairing leaky gut and intestinal permeability. The cells in the digestive tract love glutamine as a fuel source. It is also great for building muscle.
Histidine is essential (your body can't make it) so you need to get it from food. It is great for eczema and heavy metal binding.

The most damaging thing about taking omeprazole is that you lose the ability to cleave proteins down into amino acids. Individual amino acids don't get the attention that they should. They can be used on their own, or in a synergistic partnership to provide therapeutic health benefits. Over the next five days I will highlight the most common amino acids and their main purpose and benefits. Carnitine is one of my personal favorites. It supports abdominal fat loss and energy production through fatty acid utilization. It kind of tells the body "hey, we already have all of this stored energy (adipose tissue), let's use that".
