Quick and Dirty Guide to Optimal Health.

Eat clean, whole foods.

Eat for your caloric needs.

Do not eat processed foods.

Eat clean protein. 1 gram per pound of your ideal body weight is a good start. This is especially important for women, and even more important for peri/ post -menopausal women.

Eat clean, grass fed/ finished animal fats- your body and brain thrive on these good fats.

Eat healthy plant fats. Seed oils are toxic-avoid them. These include sunflower, safflower, canola, peanut etc… Use avocado, walnut and olive oils instead.

Eat complex carbs,but keep intake under 100 grams per day. Studies show combining a diet rich in animal and plant fats with high carbohydrate intake is a recipe for heart/vasculardisease.

We were designed to fast. Learn about fasting and incorporate it into your lifestyle. Women should fast differently than men- check out Dr. Mindy Peltz’s book “Fast Like a Girl’ to learn more.

Drink plenty of clean water. No juices, no diet drinks. No Truvia, No Stevia- these are gut- health disrupters and they often negatively impact metabolic health and insulin.

Exercise.

Socialize.

Meditate/ Reduce Stress

Get optimal sleep

Learn something new everyday. Keep your brain and cognitive health optimal with diet and both physical and mental strength training.

Wear your barefoot/ minimalist shoes and stay grounded! 🙂

THRIVE!

Let’s get healthy in 2023 !
🏋️‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏊 🧗‍♂️ 💪🏻 🤸 🚴‍♀️ 🏂 ⛹️‍♀️ 🏌️‍♀️ ⛷️ 🚣‍♀️ 🏄‍♀️

What you eat and how often you move your body can vastly improve your health. Diet and exercise can prevent and even reverse many of todays diseases and syndromes, including cardiovascular disease, T2 diabetes, insulin resistance and metabolic disfunction.

Recently, I’ve been introduced to research performed by Dr. Dale Bredenson, an authority on Alzheimers disease. His studies show that diet and exercise are directly linked with cognitive health, and both the vaccine and cure are diet and exercise. Moreover, dementia can often be prevented and even reversed with the right lifestyle choices.

2023 is a fresh start to improve your health and wellness! If you are beginner interested in better health, below are five simple things you can do to get started on a path the better health.

1) Don’t eat anything processed 🍟🍿🥨🥟🍩🍪🍰. Period. If it comes out of a package, it’s most likely processed. Processed foods are destructive to our health.

2) Eat fresh fruits 🍉, non starchy vegetables 🥗 ( potatoes and corn are not veggies) meats 🥩, seafood 🦞, and occasionally a little raw or unprocessed cheese 🧀. Eat according to you caloric needs. There are free calorie generators online.

3) Give up sugar 🍭. It is directly linked to heart disease ❤️, T2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and inflammation ( the root of all disease).

4) Drink water 💧. No soda, no sugar-free soda, and no juices. Save booze 🍺🍷🍾🍹for special occasions. Coffee ☕️ and tea 🫖 both have health benefits-especially for brain health 🧠 - just don’t add processed ‘cream’ and sugars or sugar substitutes.

5) Move your body 🏃‍♀️. Try to walk an hour per day. Walk at your pace and work on getting faster. Lift weights 🏋️‍♂️, especially if you are female. Skeletal muscles burns fat and sustains our metabolism and balance into our golden years. This is especially important for women who naturally make less muscle than men. Skeletal muscle keeps us upright and moving as we age.

💥 Bonus Tip:
Meal prep! Studies show that people who meal prep are more likely to succeed with their nutrition goals. Make a menu and implement. Find healthy crock pot recipes with clean ingredients and have a hot meal when you walk in the door. Keep fresh salad 🥗 and veggies 🥕 on hand. Make a pan of chicken breast 🐓, a pan of ground meat, boiled eggs 🥚, boiled shrimp 🍤 or meat pattys on Sunday, and keep it in the fridge for a quick meal during the week If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

In good health,

This is what a local hospital served a heart patient 30 minutes after her angioplasty.

A packaged muffin, graham crackers, processed deli meat on white bread, and a processed cranberry ‘juice’ cocktail.

This is how you make patients for life. We have to do better than this!

In many cases, physicians aren’t only medically managing a patient’s diseases and syndromes, moreover they are managing the outcomes of poor lifestyle choices. This includes eating a diet high in carbohydrates, processed foods, alcohol and seed oils.

Studies show, a clean, low carb diet, exercise, plenty of sunshine, meditation, and a strong connection with friends and community can prevent many of the diseases and syndromes that plague our society. 2023 can be a fresh start to reclaim your health. Cheers, and all the best in this new year!
