One of the most common concerns I hear is this: “If I fast, won’t I lose muscle?”

Let’s walk through what actually happens physiologically.

When you eat frequently throughout the day, insulin stays elevated. Elevated insulin keeps the body in storage mode. In this state, fat burning is limited and the body relies primarily on incoming fuel.

During a structured fast, insulin levels drop. When insulin drops, the body shifts into accessing stored energy, primarily body fat. At the same time, another important hormonal shift occurs:
Growth hormone rises significantly. Some research shows up to a 1,300% increase during a block fast. Growth hormone plays several critical roles:
• preserves lean muscle tissue
• increases fat utilization
• supports tissue repair
• contributes to anti-aging pathways

This rise in growth hormone is protective. It signals the body to maintain lean tissue while utilizing stored fat for fuel.

The body is designed to adapt during periods without food. It does not immediately break down muscle when a meal is skipped. Instead, it prioritizes stored energy and protects essential tissues.

This is part of what we call metabolic flexibility, the ability to efficiently switch between burning glucose and burning fat. Many people today have lost this flexibility because they rarely enter a true fasted state.

Structured fasting helps restore that adaptability.
It is not about starvation.
It is not about muscle loss.
It is about allowing the body to move through natural metabolic cycles.

When implemented appropriately and followed by intentional refeeding, fasting can support improved body composition, reducing fat while preserving muscle.

If this clarified how fasting works at a hormonal level, share it with someone who believes fasting automatically causes muscle loss.

Heart disease doesn’t appear overnight. It develops quietly over the years, through inflammation, blood sugar instability, unmanaged stress, poor sleep, and daily habits that slowly add up.

But here’s the empowering part:
Those same years can work in your favor.

Every time you choose real food over processed food…
Every time you move your body…
Every time you manage stress instead of living in survival mode…
Every time you prioritize sleep…

You are shaping your long-term heart health.

Your body is constantly adapting to the environment you create. If inflammation goes down, if blood sugar stabilizes, if stress is better managed, your heart benefits.

Family history is not destiny.
Your daily decisions matter more than you think.

You don’t need perfection.
You need consistency.

Start where you are. Small changes compound over time, and your future heart will thank you.

Your body is detoxing every single day, through your liver, lymphatic system, and cells.
But detox only works well when those systems have the oxygen they need to function efficiently.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases oxygen delivery at the cellular level, helping support circulation, tissue repair, and the body’s natural clean-up processes.

When oxygen delivery improves:
• detox pathways work more efficiently
• inflammation can calm
• energy production improves
• recovery feels easier

Detox isn’t about extreme cleanses.
It’s about creating the right internal environment for your body to do what it was designed to do.

A lot of people assume: “If my labs were normal this year, I’m in the clear.”

But your body doesn’t operate on an annual schedule.

Your metabolism, inflammation levels, blood sugar, and stress response are shifting every single day. And heart disease doesn’t appear suddenly, it builds quietly over years and decades.

That’s why checking cholesterol once a year often gives a false sense of security.

In functional care, we don’t just look at numbers.
We look at patterns over time.

Patterns show us:
• Is inflammation gradually increasing?
• Is blood sugar becoming less stable?
• Is cholesterol being used for repair?
• Is the body adapting, or under strain?

Total cholesterol alone doesn’t answer those questions.

What matters more:
• Triglycerides
• A1C (blood sugar trends)
• CRP (chronic inflammation)
• Cholesterol particle size
• Ratios, not just totals

Someone can have “normal” labs one year and still be moving toward heart disease if the underlying trend is going in the wrong direction.

Your body gives early signals long before a major event happens, but only if you’re actually looking for them.

If you have:
• A family history of heart disease
• Previous heart concerns
• Blood sugar issues
• Chronic stress or inflammation

More frequent testing isn’t extreme, it’s preventative and informed.

You wouldn’t check the weather once a year and expect to predict a storm.
Your health deserves better monitoring than that.

Heart health isn’t about fear.
It’s about awareness, consistency, and action.

When we talk about nutrition and longevity, muscle often gets overlooked, yet it plays one of the most critical roles in how we age.

Muscle isn’t just about strength or aesthetics. It’s one of the body’s primary regulators of blood sugar, hormones, and metabolic stability. And as we get older, maintaining muscle becomes harder, not because we’re doing something wrong, but because the body requires more intentional support.

Here’s what matters most:
• Muscle helps regulate glucose and improves insulin sensitivity
• Loss of lean muscle increases inflammation and metabolic dysfunction
• Protein supplies essential amino acids needed for tissue repair and cellular health
• Strong muscle supports balance, posture, and long-term mobility
• Consistent protein intake becomes more important with age, not less

This is why chronic under-eating, low protein intake, and excessive fasting can quietly work against long-term health, especially in women. Without enough building blocks, the body breaks down faster than it can rebuild.

Nutrition for longevity isn’t just about reducing calories or “eating clean.”
It’s about providing the body with the raw materials it needs to stay resilient.

That’s also why the first meal of the day matters. Prioritizing protein and healthy fats early supports muscle repair, steadier energy, and better hormone signaling throughout the day.

This isn’t about eating more food.
It’s about eating with purpose.

02/09/2026

One of the biggest mistakes we see in nutrition is assuming that healthy food is always healing food.

But that’s not how the body works.

Your gut is a living environment, a terrain, and food reacts differently depending on the state of that terrain. This is why one person thrives on fiber-rich plants, while another feels bloated, inflamed, anxious, or flared from the exact same foods.

It’s not because one person is doing it “right” and the other is doing it “wrong.”
It’s because their guts are in very different places.

Here’s what matters more than the diet label you follow:

Key Facts to Understand
• A damaged or inflamed gut can’t properly break down even “healthy” foods
• Fiber and plant compounds can be healing or irritating depending on gut integrity
• Autoimmune and GI conditions often need a period of simplification before expansion
• Healing the terrain first allows your diet to become more flexible over time
• Nutrition works best when digestion, absorption, and immune tolerance are supported

This is why someone with IBS, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, or autoimmune inflammation may feel worse on a heavy plant-based approach, not because plants are bad, but because the gut isn’t ready to process them yet.

And it’s also why, once the terrain improves, those same foods can later become supportive instead of triggering.

Healing isn’t about finding the “perfect diet.”
It’s about meeting your body where it is right now, and letting nutrition evolve as your gut heals.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m eating all the right foods… so why do I still feel awful?”
This might be the missing piece.

One of the biggest game changers for healing your metabolism:
Training your body to burn fat instead of sugar.

If your body is used to relying on snacks, coffee, and carbs just to get through the day, jumping straight into a 3–5 day water fast will feel hard. You’ll crash, crave, and feel worse before you feel better.

But if you train your metabolism ahead of time, you can experience a much smoother fast, and better results afterward.

Here’s how we guide our patients through it:
• Before the Fast: Prime Your Metabolism
• Start with a fasting-mimicking plan or intermittent fasting (like a 20/4 warrior fast)
• Increase good fats: avocado, ghee, coconut oil, pasture-raised butter
• Begin cutting back sugar and refined carbs
• Focus on warm, nourishing meals (not cold smoothies or salads)
• Support liver + gallbladder with bitters and leafy greens
This helps your body shift from sugar-burning to fat-burning before the fast begins, reducing detox symptoms and energy crashes.

After the Fast: Lock In Fat-Burning Mode
• Break your fast with bone broth + a little fat (like MCT or olive oil)
• Avoid sugar, grains, and heavy protein at first
• Eat gently cooked veggies, broth-based soups, and fermented foods
• Add protein slowly on Day 2 or 3
• Stay low-carb and continue gentle intermittent fasting
This is how you extend the benefits of your fast: better energy, reduced inflammation, hormone stability, and long-term metabolic flexibility.

You were designed to burn fat. Your body just needs the right training and support.

Healing doesn’t begin with pushing harder.
It begins when the body no longer feels like it’s in survival mode.

Safety looks like:
✔️ Consistent sleep
✔️ Nourishing food
✔️ Predictable routines
✔️ Reduced stress on the nervous system

When the body feels safe, it can:
→ Regulate hormones
→ Improve metabolism
→ Restore energy
→ Calm inflammation
→ Repair and recover

Symptoms aren’t a sign of failure.
They’re a sign the body has been protecting you for a long time.

Create safety first. Healing follows.

High blood pressure isn’t always a malfunction. More often, it’s your body adapting, doing what it must to keep you alive under stress.

It increases pressure to move blood more efficiently when it’s under stress.
Stress like:
• Inflammation
• Poor posture
• Toxic overload
• Low oxygen delivery
• Emotional or metabolic stress

But here’s the issue: most people are prescribed medications without ever being asked why their blood pressure is elevated. There’s no evaluation of the nervous system, posture, oxygen status, or cellular energy. Just a quick fix to push the number down.

And that’s not healing. That’s suppression.

Here’s a better approach:
✔️ Support the nervous system
✔️ Optimize circulation and oxygenation
✔️ Improve posture and spinal alignment
✔️ Reduce inflammation and toxic load
✔️ Get to the root of chronic stress responses

When you address these deeper issues, the body often regulates blood pressure on its own. No guesswork. No chasing numbers.

Your body is smart. Let’s support it, not silence it.

Why Hormone and Metabolic Healing Starts With the Fats You Eat

We see it all the time in our clinic:
Women doing everything “right”, eating clean, working out, taking supplements, but their hormones are still off.
Kids with mood swings, focus issues, or inflammation that just won’t calm down.

One of the most overlooked root causes?
Damaged cell membranes from bad fats.

Your hormones don’t work in thin air, they have to dock onto your cell membranes.
If those membranes are inflamed, oxidized, or built from toxic oils, your hormones can’t deliver their messages.
You can have all the estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid hormone in the world… but if it can’t get into the cell, it doesn’t matter.

This is real physiology:
• Hormone resistance at the cellular level creates metabolic chaos
• Damaged membranes block fat-burning and increase inflammation
• Cell membrane dysfunction is linked to brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue
• Kids exposed early to processed fats are more likely to experience gut, mood, and immune issues

What’s the fix?

You rebuild the membrane.
In our clinic, we walk patients through 60–120 day healing protocols that replace toxic fats and flood in real, nourishing fats to restore hormone signaling, brain clarity, and metabolism at the cellular level.

If you’re still eating:
• Canola, vegetable, soybean, or cottonseed oil
• Restaurant salad dressings or fried foods
• “Healthy” snacks with cheap oils

Then you're sending your cells a daily message to shut down hormone function.

But when you fuel your body with:
• Cold-pressed, organic olive oil
• Avocados, wild-caught fish, pasture-raised eggs
• Raw nuts, seeds, grass-fed butter
• MCT oil for brain and metabolic support

You support the healing and communication your body is trying to do.
