Dr. Angela Lucterhand šŸ©ŗBlending Holistic+Medical+Lifestyle to Help You Get Your Life Back šŸŒ± I am a doctor, professor, and a fan of loving life.

I fell into alternative medicine while trying to find my place in the healthcare system. After turning down medical school, joining the Peace Corps as a health educator, and realizing that I wanted to take a holistic approach, I attained my doctorate in chiropractic. Aside from family, friends, and my career, there are tons of things that I love doing which require me to be healthy. I have taken on the task of trying to educate as many people as possible of things they can do to KEEP themselves healthy. I preach whole foods, exercise, relaxation, and having fun; thatā€™s life folks! I eat fairly strict Paleo and use Crossfit for my fitness fun. While at the office, I am working hard to get people off of their medications through nutrition, rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries, and tuning up everybodyā€™s nervous system through adjustments. There is nothing better than having an impact on a patientā€™s health because it has an effect on EVERY SINGLE person around them. Happy, healthy people are great to be around, and I pride myself on creating more!

And while it made me sad that I abruptly had to leave a life I worked so hard for in the past, it made me grateful that I get to have the choice to spend these early years with my kiddo. That I get to take him along for adventures. That I donā€™t have to desperately try to figure out how to ā€œdo it all.ā€

I am no doubt working hard behind the scenes and much of it no one here really sees but I have had to adapt to figuring all that out within a 2 hour window of my day without the kiddo.

Iā€™ve never been super flexible but this season of my life has taught me more about adaption, evolution, and flexibility than the prior 40 years combined.

It was a bittersweet day. šŸ„ŗ

I get asked all the time what labs someone should run if they arenā€™t losing weight. And while there are lots of things we could argue matterā€¦most of them will be positively influenced by fixing your insulin. If you want to blame hormones, but neglect insulin (which is also a hormone) then youā€™ll be overlooking such a fundamental piece of the puzzle, that youā€™ll likely be playing whackamole for a long time.

And how do you correct insulin at these levels? Diet and food timing alongside exercise. That is not sexy. But thatā€™s what works and what is needed. Hard to sell someone a pill for that. However, this is also why everyone has so much success with GLP-1 medications. They influence hunger by delaying gastric emptying alongside other mechanisms and they act as a crutch for influencing diet. Iā€™m not saying you have to use them. Iā€™m saying that this connection between diet, blood sugar, and weight has always been here. Weā€™ve just never had such a ā€œmagic bulletā€ since food and exercise are the traditional ways we fix this.

Itā€™s not complex. The only thing making it complex is our current lifestyles, environments, and humanness.

I donā€™t advocate counting calories as a singular solution to lose weight but if you donā€™t pay attention at all, then you may be wondering why youā€™re eating healthy but the scale isnā€™t budging.
Iā€™m also not a fan of ā€œlow fatā€ diets.

But if you canā€™t acknowledge that fat contains more calories per unit than carbs and protein, then you may eat lots of fat and therefore excess calories based on your metabolic need, and therefore the scale doesnā€™t budge.

Hope this helps if youā€™re in the boat of ā€œeating healthy but the scale isnā€™t budging.ā€

Part 4! Endocrine disruption.

On to part 3! If youā€™re jumping in on the middle, feel free to go back to the beginning! This is why I went back to blogs, bc video IG doesnā€™t allow enough space for complex topics!

As Iā€™m literally telling people that when making lifestyle changes for your hormones, you have to give it a few cycles to start seeing the fruits of your laborā€¦.someone in the online course got their period back in less than 30 days into a new dietary protocol. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Thereā€™s no crystal ball. Everyone is different! But many times it takes longer to see results than when you use medication, so keep that in mind. šŸ’“
