A new study emphasizes that enhancing water consumption could potentially alleviate pain and improve physical functioning in patients with ADPKD.
Autosomal dominant polycystic #kidney#disease (ADPKD) is a chronic and progressive condition that impairs both kidney function and quality of life. Over 60% of patients face kidney failure by age 60, and 88% experience symptoms like pain, fatigue, and hypertension.
A new #study investigated the long-term effects of increased #water intake on the quality of life for these patients.
The study concluded that:
✔️ Increased water intake did not negatively affect emotional, mental, or physical well-being.
✔️ Over 3 years, increased water intake showed significant improvements in physical functioning and pain scores.
✔️ Kidney pain was notably lower at the 18-month and 3-year timepoints in the increased water intake group vs. the usual intake group.

Obesity vs Modern Medicine
Health Effects of Overweight and Obesity
All-causes of death (mortality).
High blood pressure (hypertension).
High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides (dyslipidemia).
Type 2 diabetes.
Coronary heart disease.
Stroke.
Gallbladder disease.
Here are two of the most powerful weight loss medications.
Ozempic?
Bottom Line. Ozempic can reduce your appetite and may help you to lose some weight, but Ozempic is not approved by the FDA as a weight loss medicine. In clinical studies, patients lost on average 20 lbs (6.4 kg) over a 30 to 56 week period.
Phentermine?
gets rid of belly fat?
In addition, this medication stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter, adrenaline (epinephrine), which stimulates the breakdown of stored fat. Therefore, phentermine promotes weight loss by reducing appetite, increasing energy and boosting fat breakdown. The average person losses 32 pounds
Like anything worth anything, some planning helps.
nutrition intake reduce calorie intake.
moderate exercise brisk walks, incorporate jogging.
stretching helps warm up muscles for fat burning.
You will be able to manage your weight as you see fit!
Switch your general liquid intake to green tea. huge benefits 👏 and or stick to water.
no soda!!!!!!!
"The traditional method of diagnosing and managing obesity, which heavily relies on body mass index (#BMI), is increasingly seen as inadequate.
Acknowledging this, the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) has introduced a comprehensive new framework for diagnosing, staging, and managing adult obesity.
Detailed in a recent publication in Nature Medicine, this framework aims to incorporate the latest scientific insights and advancements, including novel #obesity medications, to ensure more effective and inclusive treatment strategies."

What is insulin RESISTANCE? What is this HOMA? Everybody is getting confused. Insulin is nothing but Arjuna. So, our blood sugar to be controlled between 70 to 100. If the sugar falls below 70 and if the blood sugar crosses 100, our brain will not work. So to maintain that, insulin is one hormone which controls the blood sugar and fat and proteins.
So Arjuna is insulin. Whenever the blood sugar comes to, the insulin adds, the blood sugar will come down. So when we eat, our blood sugar will go, to control that, insulin will be released from the beta cells, which will reduce the blood sugar. So from the evening, from 7 to early morning, 7 a. m., insulin will not be there, and blood sugar should go to the brain.
So there are hormones which act opposite to insulin.
This is called glucagon. glucagon. So, Karna is Glucagon, Insulin is [00:01:00] Arjuna. These two always, they fight opposite to each other. Insulin tries to reduce the blood sugar, Glucagon, Karna, wants to pump up the glucose up. More than that, in the evening time, our stress levels are high, so cortisol will go up.
Cortisol is nothing but our Asadhama. Asadhama and Karna, the two act together to pump the glucose up. It will be in more than that. . Whereas we get every time anger, we get emotional, our CATECHOLAMINES will release.
catecholamines are nothing but . KRIPACHARYA opposite ARJUNA INSULIN and pumps up the glucose up. And most important, in the evening after 9 32 10, 10 30, the golden hour if you don't sleep or melatonin will not be released.
Melatonin, nothing bhishma charya If this melatonin of producing in the night. If you sleep improperly, if you don't get good sleep, it gets small bursts of melatonin released in the daytime, which obstructs the insulin not to work. So melatonin is Bhishmacharya, works against the insulin. So many hormones are there, which works against the insulin.
Multiple tab, local alternative, like, uh, leaves, or roots, or some other plants, and also you'll be trying a number of medications. Finally, when everything fails, always your blood sugar will be high, because whenever the blood sugar is high, it gets converted into fat, and you'll get a heart stroke.
That is the reason why you take a lot of insulin injections
. So simply to understand for ordinary people, insulin is Arjuna. Glucagon is Karna, growth hormone is Ashwadhamma, and cortisol levels are [ Krupacharya, and catecholamines are Dronacharya, and most important is melatonin, which is Bhishmacharya, works against insulin.
So to understand this beta cell to be saved, Lord Krishna tries to save your beta cell. and see that your insulin is pumped up to 100 years and you live happily. This everybody is trying to obstruct and create a problem.
So Krishna and Arjuna, they work together to create a success to you.
So unless you work, you walk 12, 000 steps per day, sleep by 9.
30 and maintain 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. fasting,Thank you.
Intermittent fasting has shown promise in improving memory and executive function in older adults, particularly those with insulin resistance, according to an exploratory pilot study. The study compared a 5:2 intermittent fasting plan with a "healthy living" diet and found that both interventions enhanced cognitive performance, with intermittent fasting showing more significant improvements in certain areas. This research provides preliminary evidence supporting the potential cognitive benefits of intermittent fasting and sets the stage for further exploration in larger clinical trials.

Metabolic Psychiatry practitioner with 15+ yrs as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Specializes in Ketogenic Therapies for mental & neurological health.
Functional medical practitioners, including functional psychiatrists, often use adaptogens in people with depression. Why is that?
Because In fatigue and depression, cortisol levels are lower around wakening, show more disorganized variability during the day and do not fall sufficiently in the evening.
But what they perhaps do not understand yet is that ketogenic diets appear to modulate this issue in a favorable way. In fact, the changes in cortisol and neurotransmitters like norepinephrine are thought to be part of the treatment effects of ketogenic diets for depression.
Where are the functional medicine researchers ready to look at that in a study? Let's look at a cohort with depression and have one arm use functional adaptogens and another arm the ketogenic diet.
It would have to be long enough to see effects past the initial adaptation period when stress hormones increase for a short period, but I really would like to see those markers of adrenal function in the two groups, including average changes in daily cortisol measures.
And then I would like to have those results presented at a functional medicine conference, so they can catch up with what is going on and understand why we can't treat "stress" without paying attention to metabolic stress going on in patients.

**Diagnosis and Initial Treatment:**
John underwent diagnostic tests, including coronary angiography, revealing significant blockages in his coronary arteries. He was started on medication, including antiplatelets, statins, and antihypertensives. Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and stress management, were recommended.
**Progression of CAD:**
Despite medication, John's CAD progressed due to continued high blood pressure and a lack of adherence to dietary recommendations. He experienced recurrent chest pain and shortness of breath, leading to further medical interventions.
**Intervention:**
John underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to improve blood flow to the heart. Post-surgery, he was enrolled in a cardiac rehabilitation program, emphasizing exercise, dietary education, and psychological support.
**Lifestyle Modifications:**
- Exercise: John started a supervised exercise program, gradually increasing intensity.
- Diet: Adopted a heart-healthy diet, focusing on low-fat, low-sodium, and high-fiber foods.
- Stress Management: Engaged in stress-reducing activities like mindfulness and meditation.
**Follow-up:**
Regular follow-ups showed improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall well-being. John's exercise tolerance increased, and he reported reduced chest pain.
**Challenges:**
Compliance with lifestyle changes was challenging for John due to ingrained habits and work-related stress. Ongoing support from healthcare professionals and family played a crucial role.
**Conclusion:**
This case study illustrates the intricate interplay between lifestyle factors and the progression of CAD. It emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach, combining medical management with sustained lifestyle modifications, to effectively manage and improve the quality of life for individuals with coronary artery disease.
