WHY WAS TERRY LEMEROND SO INTERESTED IN BERBERINE?

If you've struggled with your weight for years, you've probably tried changing your diet, exercising more, or cutting calories.

But metabolic health deserves attention, too.

One botanical compound Terry Lemerond frequently recommended was berberine, which has been studied for its effects on blood sugar, triglycerides, and body weight.

WHAT MAKES BERBERINE INTERESTING?

Research suggests it may help:

• Support healthy blood sugar levels
• Promote modest weight reduction
• Maintain healthy triglyceride levels
• Influence the gut microbiome

Terry particularly favored berberine sourced from Indian barberry (Berberis aristata).

TERRY'S RECOMMENDED APPROACH

He suggested either:

500 mg of berberine three times daily, with meals, or 250 mg of berberine with gamma cyclodextrin once daily.

His recommendation was to combine berberine with dietary and lifestyle changes and remain consistent for at least three months.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Sustainable weight management starts with a comprehensive approach to metabolic health—not a search for a magic pill.

OLIVE OIL AND HEART HEALTH: AN INTERESTING CONNECTION

Olive oil is one of the cornerstones of the Mediterranean diet — but could it also influence one of the processes involved in cardiovascular health?

Researchers studied 63 adults with obesity who had no history of heart disease, diabetes or smoking. Participants were grouped according to how often they consumed olive oil:

• Once a week or less
• 1–3 times per week
• 4 or more times per week

Researchers then measured platelet activation, one of the early steps involved in blood clotting.

Blood clotting is essential when we are injured. But excessive or inappropriate clotting inside blood vessels can contribute to cardiovascular problems.

Interestingly, the participants with the highest olive oil intake had the lowest levels of platelet activation.

The finding doesn't prove that olive oil prevents heart attacks or strokes, but it adds to the research exploring how olive oil consumption may be associated with cardiovascular health.

🫒 A simple Mediterranean staple with some fascinating research behind it.

The study source suggests approximately 1½–2 tablespoons of olive oil per day.
