Insulin Resistance

Insulin Resistance

To be able to reduce your fat, you need to be able to control your insulin response. Insulin response is your body’s hormonal mechanism for managing your blood sugar. If your blood sugar rises too high due to the kinds of foods you eat, the hormonal process that converts stored fat to energy shuts off. Depending on the individual, it may remain shut off for many hours no matter what else you do.

An abnormal insulin response will result in fat in or on the body (that is, in your arterial system or on your belly etc.) Carrying excess fat, particularly around the mid-section will destabilize your delicate hormonal balance of your endocrine system, potentially triggering Type 2 Diabetes.

Toxins

We are all exposed to tens of thousands of toxins in our modern world, which bind to fat cells in our bodies. When we start to metabolize fat, these toxins are released back into the body’s tissues. If more toxins are released than the body can handle, fat loss slows down. We will address the best ways to detoxify your body as well as how to support your liver nutritionally.

Metabolism and Digestion

Despite the countless TV ads touting “fiber” the vast majority of Americans get less than a quarter of the daily fiber intake they should! This accounts for soaring colon cancer rates, as well as affecting your ability to lose weight. We will recommend ways for you to pro-actively improve both digestion and metabolism.

Exercise

Even moderate exercise has tremendous, life-saving benefits for your heart and brain and is a vital part of long-term fat loss. We can coach you on an appropriate exercise plan if you don’t have one.

Nutrition

During consultation, we will discuss which foods to consume and which foods to avoid. It is also important that you are aware of natural, safe supplements prove to play an important role in helping you lose fat, improve your metabolism and repair the damage done by obesity. If someone is obese, they are usually also chronically malnourished at a cellular level and are deficient in many essential vitamins, minerals and other micro-nutrients, due to years of poor eating habits or taking prescription medications to deal with the health problems brought on by their obesity. Thus a vicious cycle starts. Let us help you break it!
