Did you know????

Zonulin is a protein that regulates the permeability of the intestinal lining by controlling tight junctions between cells. High levels of zonulin cause these junctions to loosen, leading to increased intestinal permeability, commonly known as "leaky gut," which allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

Key Aspects of Zonulin and Leaky Gut:
Mechanism: Elevated zonulin acts on the gut lining (epithelia), causing the "tight junctions" (microscopic seals between cells) to open.
Triggers: The two main drivers for high zonulin release are gluten (specifically gliadin) and certain bacterial infections or gut dysbiosis.
Associated Conditions: High zonulin is linked to celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Health Impact: A "leaky gut" caused by excessive zonulin can lead to chronic inflammation and systemic issues, as foreign substances enter the bloodstream.
Testing & Management: Nutritional approaches like a gluten-free diet and sometimes probiotics are used to manage it.

Potential Supporting Interventions
Some studies and practitioners suggest that managing zonulin-mediated permeability can be supported by:
Diet: A strict gluten-free diet is the most recognized way to reduce zonulin production.
Nutrients: Certain compounds, including zinc, vitamin D, probiotics, and collagen, may help maintain the gut lining..

Lessons learned in my journey with Hashimoto's.
Getting adequate sleep is crucial.
Keeping stress levels down is crucial.
Making sure I get adequate selenium on a daily basis.
Eating an anti inflammatory lifestyle.
Making sure I get adequate exercise without overdoing it.
Cleaning out the kitchen of plastic food storage containers for glass or stainless steel, use either stainless steel or ceramic cookware, use a water filtration system that filters our fluoride and chlorine, switch out to fragrance-free or lightly scented natural options in personal care items, requesting digital receipts instead of thermal paper receipts;
AND
Last but certainly not least
PRIORITIZE organic for high-pesticide produce, ie, dirty dozen

One of the most important lab tests you can have done is your Vitamin D level, called a 25 OHD. Vitamin D is so very important to your cardiac health, bone health and immune health.
Personally, I keep my levels around 77.
This is the best time of year to test your vitamin D levels for a baseline, as we have been inside a LOT these past recent months with a majority of our skin covered up to keep warm. In the warmer months, we may make adequate vitamin D, IF we are able to be out in the sun during the hottest time of the day with a majority of our skin exposed to the sun.

What is your drug of choice???? Is it chocolate, is it caffeine, is it sugar, is it to***co, is it alcohol or is it the real mccoy???? I have heard people say that they do not have any addictions, but try and get off of caffeine or sugar after having it consistently for a period of time, they quickly find out it is not as easy to discard as they thought.
For many years, I considered Diet Coke as my coffee (loved to smell it but could not tolerate the taste), then I tried to get away from the Diet Coke and found out it was not as easy as I had thought it would be.
Lord knows, I am not throwing any stones. Everybody's addictions look different. What I am saying is do your homework, look at what you consume on a consistent basis, look it up, read up, is it benefiting your body or not? What you do next is your choice, but you will be going into the decision with your eyes open. It is YOUR LIFE!!!! Don't go into each day blind, go into each day educated.

If you were on an airplane with a family member and the oxygen mask fell down, would you put yours on first or theirs on first? You would put yours on first, so you would be able to help them. That is NOT being selfish, that is being helpful!!!!
The same applies with your health, we have to take care of ourselves in order to be able to be there for family members when needed.

Did you know that:

Those with inadequate sun exposure -- including disabled people, infants, the elderly, dark-skinned people, and those who live at northern latitudes during the winter -- are at risk of low vitamin D3 production, which can lead to a loss of bone density and an increased risk of fractures. Disabled people and infants are often less likely to go outdoors, and people over the age of 70 don't produce vitamin D3 from their skin as effectively. As for people with darker skin, they have more melanin, so less UV light gets absorbed to create vitamin D3. They need more sun exposure to produce vitamin D3 than those with lighter skin.

The best time of year to get your Vitamin D level checked is in March, as we are getting through the darkest time of the year, with little sun exposure.

I, personally, take 5000 IU Vitamin D3 with K2 on a daily basis to make sure my level remains stable throughout the year.

Did you know that a supplement called OPC3 does the following to help your body????
- Provides antioxidant protection against free radicals
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Promotes healthy circulation
- Supports joint health
- Helps maintain healthy immune function
- Supports skin health and vision

Have you ever wondered what free radicals do?
Just think about rust on a shovel, that rust is caused by free radical damage, just from being exposed to the elements. Every time we take a breath in, we are breathing in those same free radicals that caused that rust.

Who has ever been listening to something or someone and felt a "chill" run up your spine, almost like you have felt a gentle wind blowing?
To me that is like a gently touch of my Lord and Savior telling me I am doing, listening, etc., what he would have me do. I listen/wait for his calm assurance in each step I take on a daily basis.
I was in a business conference listening to the speaker talk about eating to reduce the inflammation in your body and I felt that feeling go up and down my spine, so I knew that either I needed to get on that program or I needed to learn how so I could help others in that way. Long story short, I did both. Get the greatest joy out of helping others improve their health through what they take in their body, both food and supplements.
Sitting here typing this now and hearing "Sent Forth By God's Blessings" running through my brain. Who can ask for better than that for direction????

For anyone who has ever been told they need to take Nexium, Prilosec or any drug comparable, please be aware they shut down your body's ability to produce digestive enzymes, thus allowing food to stay in your stomach, rotting. This, in turn, leads to, possibly, a hiatus hernia. I had 30% of my stomach in my chest cavity, which had to be corrected surgically.

The kidneys help regulate the body's blood sugar and play a crucial role in glucose balance. While sugar itself is not directly harmful to the kidneys in a healthy person, consistently high blood sugar, such as from uncontrolled diabetes, can severely damage the kidneys over time.
