This was an awesome course that covered functional medicine principles such as brain health, hormones, autoimmunity, endocrine essentials, detoxification and energy production. I learned so much great information to better serve my clients.

Gluten intolerance can wreak havoc on the brain, the nervous system, the joints, the skin, the respiratory tract, and other organs and tissues. These are called “extra-intestinal” manifestations of gluten sensitivity.

The part of the body most commonly affected by gluten is not the gut but the nervous system. One study showed gluten sensitivity unassociated with celiac disease or gastrointestinal destruction can directly harm the brain and nervous system leading to diverse neurological malfunctions.

Although gluten most commonly affects neurological tissue, only a third of those afflicted will also have gut symptoms. In one study of 10 patients affected neurologically by gluten sensitivity, seven demonstrated complete resolution of symptoms on a gluten-free diet. But what was more interesting about this study was that six of those 10 subjects had no intestinal complaints.

Because the brain is so adept at compensating for weaknesses, neurological problems associated with gluten may not show up until years or decades later, when damage is considerable. However, people who have made the connection between gluten intolerance and brain function notice gluten causes fatigue, poor brain endurance, and difficulty with focus and concentration.

The most popular cold medicine on the market *was* phenylephrine...until some stores started pulling products using it as the only active ingredient off the shelves a few weeks ago because it DOESN'T WORK.

Yes, an OTC they sold you for decades doesn't actually work at all for the symptoms they sold it to you for!

In contrast, elderberry *does.* Studies show that it can reduce the duration of respiratory symptoms by up to 4 days. It's rich in vitamin C and quercetin and is anti-inflammatory. It also has anti-viral properties.

Elderberry is also safe for most people of all ages. It's an immune *modulator,* not booster - it doesn't 'rev up' the immune system, it supports normal functions. Which means if you're sick it helps it go into action, but calms it down if you're not.

Rumors have floated around the last few years, claiming it causes cytokine storms - but it doesn't, because of its modulation properties. There are 0 cases of this happening and 0 evidence of it.

A small group of people with autoimmune disorders find that elderberry flares their symptoms. In that case, it's not the best option. However, this is not universal - some people with autoimmune issues find it very beneficial.

A plant that's safe and works...vs. a dangerous drug that doesn't!

This is one of the best books I have read about nutrition in a very long time. It is not just for those who experience depression, anxiety or any other form of mental health challenges. The roots of mental health issues in so many cases is directly linked to what we eat. Make cleaning up your diet the priority and watch your health issues improve. We rarely need one specific way of eating to manage various health concerns, but the commonality that will improve all is to ditch processed foods. Eat the foods we have always eaten up until our food became a conglomeration of food additives, sugar, excess sodium, and unfamiliar chemicals. If it comes in a package look for 5 recognizable ingredients or less.

From my favorite Sunday blogger Mark Sisson.

I recently came across a staggering figure. Lab-grown meat, the prized innovation of Silicon Valley biohacking techies and a favorite venture for investors who believe they're saving the world, is actually 25 times more inefficient than real meat. In other words, it takes 25 times more energy and resources to produce a lab-grown steak – which doesn't even taste that good – than to raise a ribeye.
All the water a cow drinks, the forage it consumes, the land it requires to live, and the diesel fuel needed to transport it to the butcher and then to the grocery store, all pale in comparison, by a factor of 25, to the amount of energy, resources, water, and the blood, sweat, and tears required to produce a single piece of unappealing lab-grown fake meat.
The article presented this as if it were a surprise. How could a sterile, high-tech lab be less efficient than a cud-chewing ruminant wandering through its own p**p?
Easy. Despite over a hundred years of the best minds engineering as hard as they can, birds still fly more efficiently than planes.
You have to understand that 1 billion years of multicellular organism evolution is incredibly efficient. You’d realize that what appears inefficient, dirty, messy, bloody, and painful is actually the efficient way. The blood and guts, the waste, the manure, the urine, the trampled grasses, and the land used – these aren't just byproducts. They're essential to the entire operation. Circumventing the process that Mother Nature has refined over hundreds of millions of years is not simple. If there was a way to bypass it efficiently, it would've already happened. Anytime something in nature appears inefficient, wrong, or extraneous, and if it seems like it could just be lopped off without consequence, you’re likely missing a crucial part of the picture.
Every time we try to circumvent nature, cut corners, and assume that something is unimportant or extraneous, we mess up. We get bad results and suffer for it. By the way, "efficiency" isn't the whole story. But that's a discussion for another time...
Let me know what you think about all this

New Netflix film on the Stanford twin study: Science or PR Stunt?
Entire Stanford center conducting the study is underwritten by Beyond Meat.

Study itself is funded by one of the so-called "vegan mafia," whose foundation is devoted to animal-rights causes and also funded the Game Changers movie, promoting vegan athletes.

The science is questionable: very short-term study with cherry-picked outcome data that deviates from original protocol.

READY TO GET BACK ON TRACK

Since 2015, I’ve taught the transformative RESTART program, with incredible results for clients.
Here’s what one client wrote. "I learned more about food and how it interacts with my body in this 5 week program than I did in my previous 50 years. This program can be life changing. I truly thank you with my entire heart."
Mike S.
It is amazing how quickly you’ll see results after eliminating inflammatory foods and learning which foods are considered healthy. RESTART makes it very simple.
