Have you ever started eating foods like cookies, pies, cakes, candy, chips, white bread or bagels etc. and you just find it hard to stop and you never feel full?
✅😊😋These foods do make your brain happy (dopamine) and that is part of why we want a lot of them—-
✅And truly, the more sugar, fat and salt a food has the more we like it!
✅ But these ultra processed foods that are low in fiber, protein, and volume——they get digested quickly in the upper part of the small intestine called the duodenum and the jejunum
✅ The last part of the small intestine is called the ileum and that is where you have L cells that make the hormones that make you feel full and therefore satisfied.
✅ There are so many people taking GLP-1 medications that we think it’s a medication, but it’s actually a naturally occurring peptide hormone that helps you feel full.
✅ So…….the moral of the story is ultraprocessed foods don’t ever give your body a chance to make these hormones which is why you don’t feel full!!! (Other SATIETY hormones that are made in the same spot are called CCK and PYY)
✅ So now you can work with your body and not against it!🥰 -1

How my summer ended!! 🩵🥰
Grandbaby #7 arrived end of August! I have been able to help with him and his 15 month old big brother! Made some meals, one included a homemade cornbread that was delish!
✅ My mom cooked everything from “scratch”— no boxes or instant foods at our house. I definitely learned by watching although I am not the best cook 🤣!
✅ Nourishing foods for someone after a birth, illness or surgery is so very needed. Your body NEEDS nutrients to heal
✅ You need enough calories and often MORE calories, and surplus amounts of protein to heal and repair
✅ grandbaby #7 broke the tie, boys are winning!🥇

4th year speaking at the NC State Highway Patrol Commander Training Academy. It is always a fun great group of leaders from around the the state
Covered-
1. Importance of your daily diet-it’s either helping you or hurting you when it comes to your health. Reviewed the eight of the 10 leading causes of death, tap diet, implications.
2. Investigate your diet. They all had a chance to rate their plate and see where they have holes in their diet. Do they have protein at every meal fiber every meal are they eating a lot of colorful fruit and veggies are they avoiding ultra processed foods, etc.
3. Influence of diet on their own aging process. We talked about how everything starts to deteriorate as you get older if you’re not doing anything about it from bones to muscle to collagen production, eyesight, mitochondria energy, and all the things you can do to turn that around.
4. Implementing strategies to maintain a healthy diet. Everything from planar meals meal prep how to choose healthy foods on the run exactly how to fill your plate snack ideas.
5. Bonus session was on food quality. How to look at ingredients in food what toook for and what to ignore.
6. Also had them analyze a typical meal at chipotle or chick fila. We broke down the carbs protein and fat. So a chipotle bowl of honey chicken, rice, black beans, salsa, corn, salsa, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, came out to the equivalent of eating six pieces of bread with 6 ounces of chicken and 9 teaspoons of butter 🤓🫪

EVERYONE has heard of GLP-1 medications….But here is what you have not heard!
✅ GLP-1 stands for glucagon like peptide-1
✅ Your body naturally makes it in the lower part of your small intestine, it is a hormone!
✅ It is made from what is known as L cells
✅ So in order to produce it ….and keep on producing it naturally, you need a very healthy functioning gut
✅ Which comes from a healthy diet-whole real food from Mother nature, protein at every meal, fiber from Plants at every meal, colorful, fruits, and veggies, fermented foods, which all leads to a healthy, diverse Microbiome, full of good bacteria
✅ When you are on high dose GLP-1 for a long time it can crush your L cells…
✅ So then, when you come off of a GLP-1 medication, you can experience raging hunger 🤤
✅ One thing you can do to help yourself is take a product that is natural. Over the counter. Called Calocurb it comes from hops
✅ It not only can help boost GLP-1 hormone production in your body but it helps with 2 other hormones that also help with hunger/satiety and digestion, called CCK and PYY
✅ CCK stands for Cholecystokinin made in I cells in your gut. It is a strong appetite suppressant and slows gut movement
✅ PYY stands for peptide YY. Made in the L cells
✅ If you don’t have a healthy gut, do you see how hunger hormones can altered??
✅ I do lots of gut health/testing! 🤗👍

HUGE CONGRATS to Alexander Zevrev for winning French open at Roland Garros. He has to manage his game and his blood sugar. His own words, “There are definitely two games happening at the same time there’s a match everyone sees and then there’s the one only I feel.”
✅ Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 4, he has to manage his blood sugar at every changeover.
✅ Athletes need to fuel with carbs, athletes with Tyoe 1 diabetes have to fuel the same way but they also have the added steps of checking blood sugar constantly and eating or drinking carbs if it is too low or injecting insulin if it is too high! He had to inject with insulin during the match.
✅ 💪He was told because of his diabetes he could not compete at a high level. He proved the experts wrong!
✅ I heard Patrick McEnroe comment during the match that he can check his blood sugar with his phone and “how the hell can you do that ?” Luckily for Zevrev and many others it’s called a continuous glucose monitor that you wear and it shows the data on your phone via an app. Much simpler than the constant finger pricking.
✅ The big plus is the continuous glucose monitors can show if your blood sugar is trending up or down and you can make the right move.
Again, huge congrats for winning on and off the court ! 🏆

Attending the International Symposium on Osteoporosis in Washington DC. Very informative, loved meeting the vendors and what they offer.
✅ had the cutest display and the best tasting calcium chews made from whole real food
✅ Lots of little pearls. Low alkaline phosphatase (on almost all your blood tests) can indicate poor bone building and seen with foot and hand fractures…
✅ Type 2 diabetes associated with poor bone health
✅ Poor healing after joint replacement with vitamin D levels

Stomach pain can be very unpredictable and hard to determine the cause. One of the many reasons someone may have awful stomach pain that can last for hours is consuming pea protein. It can be found in many protein bars, drinks, baked goods etc. Read your label to see if it is there! This could be an easy fix! 👍. Some people just don’t digest it very well!
