Good to keep in mind

Half of patients with untreated celiac disease have high LFTs. This is likely due to the impact of increased intestinal permeability on liver function. If your patient has high LFTs for no obvious reason, check for celiac disease. If this is the cause, a strict gluten-free diet should normalize LFTs.

I love to educate my patients on the plate method. It’s a very simple way to plan your meals and make sure you have a nice balance of different foods.
First divide your plate in half.
Fill in half 1/2 of your plate with lots of colorful vegetables 🥗.
Then divide the second half in half, one quarter 1/4 of your plate should have a good quality protein (salmon, chicken, turkey grass fed meat, tofu, etc) and the second quarter 1/4 of the plate should be a low glycemic index carbohydrate/starch (brown rice, basmati rice, quinoa, beans, sweet potatoes, etc). And of course don’t forget a healthy fat at every meal (avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds, etc)!
That’s how you make a balanced meal!!

Insulin...
Recently I had a patient with Diabetes that had to choose weather to pay $600 for his insulin co-payment or replace his very dangerous bald tires!

For patients with diabetes who rely on insulin, access to their medication can be a matter of life or death. But as costs have spiraled in recent years, many people are having difficulty affording their insulin, and some are even forced to resort to the dangerous practice of rationing.

There are some programs that can dramatically cut out-of-pocket costs. All three major US manufacturers offer patient assistance programs that offer options for patients who have private commercial insurance, Medicaid and Medicare, or no insurance at all.

getinsulin.org is a user-friendly patient advocacy website that guides patients through a few simple questions and then provides answers on eligibility, an explanation of the program, and an “action plan” for patients to access the program.

Unlike sleeping and breathing, eating requires some deliberate engagement on our part. We need to make decisions on what we gather, shop for and select. That's why mindful eating is so important - it allows us to make meaningful, clear choices about the food we're eating and why.
Mindful eating can be a challenging topic for a lot of people, mainly because they are unsure of exactly what mindful eating means. The core principles of mindful eating are simple:
● Bring awareness to nourishing properties of food through the process of food preparation and consumption
● Select enjoyable and nutritious foods
● Acknowledge food preferences non-judgmentally and give permission to enjoy fun foods
● Recognize and honor physical hunger and satiety cues
● Use wisdom to guide eating decisions
These five principles can help guide you in your mindful eating journey. What is one way you have incorporated these principles into your daily eating habits? ⠀

Have you ever sat down to a meal and, by the time you were done, you basically forgot what you ate? You find yourself feeling overly full and uncomfortable, leaving you unsatisfied with the food you just ate.
This is a perfect example of mindless eating, and it can often happen when we don't 'check in' with ourselves and our hunger throughout the day.
Next time you get ready to eat, take a look at your hunger scale. The hunger scale is a rating from 0 to 10 of how hungry you truly are. 0 relates to the most hungry you could possibly be, while 10 is as full as you have ever been. Ideally, you want to fall into the 4-6 zone, without major swings one way or the other. If you find yourself feeling SO HUNGRY before each meal, maybe consider eating earlier or incorporating a snack. If you're not hungry at all before meals but still feel the need to eat, ask yourself why?
Use this as a fun activity in mindful eating and a way to 'check in' and learn your own personal hunger cues. ⠀

Cruciferous vegetables 🥦 are healthy for many reasons. Mainly, they're an excellent source of gut-nourishing prebiotic fiber (the good gut bacteria in your gut's favorite food), they activate detoxification enzymes, boost the immune system, contain free radical-fighting antioxidants, and
are the best food source of which are sulfur compounds that help to neutralize and eliminate carcinogens, as well as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) – an important nutrient that prevents estrogen-related cancers.

Glucoraphanin, a type of glucosinolate is a bitter-tasting, sulfur-containing plant compound. It breaks down into Sulforaphane (SFN) upon chewing, crushing or blending, by the action of an enzyme (also found in these foods) called myrosinase. Sulforaphane (SFN) has powerful protective properties!

Myrosinase, as with all enzymes, is heat-sensitive so cooking significantly reduces the availability of sulforaphane in these foods. This doesn't mean you should only be eating raw broccoli and cabbage! (You're getting other benefits from them even if they're cooked) but make sure to be getting in those raw greens and sprouts regularly.
