Meeste mense se bloedtoetse resultate lyk ‘normaal’, maar daar lê dalk subtiele metaboliese probleme wat nie so opgespoor word nie 🤔

Standaard bloedpanele is nooit ontwerp om vroeë metaboliese disfunksie op te spoor nie. Hulle is gebou om siektes op te spoor sodra dit reeds ontwikkel het; nie die subtiele verskuiwings wat jare tevore plaasvind nie ⚠️🩺

Neem insulienweerstand as voorbeeld. Jou liggaam kan meer insulien produseer om bloedsuikervlakke normaal te hou; so jou glukose en HbA1c lyk goed, terwyl onderliggende disfunksie reeds ontwikkel.

Nog 'n belangrike punt; "normale reekse" is gebaseer op groot groepe mense. Dit beteken dat jou resultate vergelyk word met 'n gemiddelde; nie wat noodwendig optimaal is vir jou liggaam nie. So jy kan binne daardie reeks val en steeds nie op jou beste voel of funksioneer nie ⚕️

Daarom is 'n meer omvattende, dokter-geleide benadering belangrik; kyk na patrone, simptome en meer sensitiewe merkers, nie net of 'n getal rooi gemerk is nie 👩‍⚕️

Most people think building muscle is something only gym rats or body builders focus on 🤓 But it matters a lot more than you think!

The older we get or the more time we spend on working (especially behind a desk) the less time we have to build essential muscle mass our body needs to function properly 🫠

Why is muscle important for our metabolism?
More muscle means:
• Better insulin sensitivity
• More efficient calorie use at rest
• Improved blood sugar control
• Lower risk of metabolic dysfunction over time

So take a break every now and then, do a few squats or light weight exercises🏋️‍♀️ Future you will thank you!😄

Not all processed foods are bad, but it's wise to consult ingredient lists and know what's in foods before buying 🤔

Companies hide SUGAR & FAT to make their products seem healthier.

Some names for hiding SUGAR include:
* Glucose
* Fructose
* Sucrose
* Maltose
* Dextrose
* Fruit concentrate

Some names for HEAVILY REFINED OILS:

* Hydrogenated oils
* Trans fats
* Vegetable oil
* Palm oil
* Canola oil

These are some red flags to spot in foods:

Flavourants - Designed to make food taste better, can override natural fullness. Can encourage overeating.

Additives - Often found in low fibre foods that are carb heavy and lack nutrients. Makes food easier to eat, so can lead to overeating.

The bulk of a healthy diet should consist of whole foods that are High in fibre, healthy fats or high in protein 🥑🥩🧈🥦🫛🫘

Each person is different, some are more resilient to certain foods and others might be more sensitive.

That's why its important to get the right diagnosis for your body's needs 👩🏻‍⚕️🩺

👇🏼 A few suggestions to help manage your stress via your metabolism and eating habbits:

Balance your blood sugar. Try to get in tons of protein, fibre and healthy fats with each meal.

Don't skip meals. No food signals stress hormones to your brain.

Be balanced when it comes to caffeine intake. Try not to drink coffee on an empty stomach.

Load up on foods that are rich in omega-3s, magnesium and are whole/ unprocessed. They have anti inflammatory properties that help with muscle tension and relieve stress.

If you're struggling with fatigue, stress or weight management we can help assist with a diagnosis and plan.
