Benefits of Fiber Therapy
Recommended (RDA) of fiber per day: 30-35 g. Start slow and increase gradually to avoid gas & bloat ( unless you are already used to ingesting 30 g).

Fiber gets treated as nutrition advice and rarely as a mortality intervention. The meta-analysis data suggests it should be both. The 2024 Ramezani systematic review in Clinical Nutrition pooled 64 prospective cohorts totaling 3.5 million subjects. Comparing highest fiber consumers to lowest: - All-...

Optimize your health with BHRT. You shouldn’t have to deal with any of these symptoms when your hormones are balanced. To see if you qualify ( not everyone does) you need a practitioner who is trained in BHRT and knows how to risk stratify you for optimal health!🌿

You can ingest all the protein you want, but if you do not combine it with exercise-strength training in particular- you will not improve muscle strength. Particularly if you take a GLP-1 you MUST exercise, along with adequate protein intake. What is adequate? That depends on the individual patient. If you need help optimizing your nutrient status, book an appointment with me. I’m happy to help!😉💪🏼

Body Fat % a Better Indicator of CardioMetabolic Disease than Weight Alone!

This study done by the Mayo Clinic measured body adiposity with DEXA Scan looking at all-cause mortality in normal weight individuals.
-large sample size-20,613 individuals
-Findings: Every 10% increase in total body fat is associated with > risk of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and all-cause mortality in normal BMI group.

Some key takeaways:
1. If participating in a weight loss program, provider should have the ability to measure body fat % and SMM, as in DEXA scan or at least metabolic scale like In-Body.
2.BMI should not be only predictor of weight loss.

This GLP-1 pill by Novo-Nordisk just became available, and already 170,000 Americans are taking the drug. While GLP-1's may confer many health benefits, it is important to understand how a medication functions and the risk-benefit ratio, before applying to practice.
New Australian research from Adelaide University, published in the Journal of Controlled Release, found the key ingredient in these oral weight loss drugs, salcaprozate sodium (SNAC) could cause biological changes in the gut microbiome and metabolism, leading to reduced healthy gut bacteria, gut inflammation, and lower levels of brain proteins that positively impact cognitive function.
Currently these studies have been conducted in mice so we are unsure whether the same effects would cross over to humans. But since the majority of overweight individuals have, as the first underlying mechanism, disordered gut microbiome, disordered metabolism ,and gut inflammation, I believe more studies need to be conducted before using this form of GLP-1's.

The FDA requested that Novo take immediate action to address the violations, which could include ceasing all ads containing misleading claims about the pill.
