This book right here is not only life changing for the better… it is life extending and even life saving in some cases. I’m so grateful my integrative MD recommended it to me. (I’m more than half way through in 3 days.) She runs a cancer center in a major hospital in the Bay Area helping people address the causes of their diseases with science-based natural medicine. I consider this book a preventative for most people, but for some it may lead to that “miracle” they’ve been praying for. It not only helps understand the causes of many “incurable” diseases and chronic undesirable conditions increasing in recent years, but also how to eliminate them in as little as 2 weeks. The full protocol spelled out in the book is 9 weeks. If you don’t care for all the science you can skip those parts and simply implement what is suggested. It’s especially helpful for overcoming diabetes, obesity, asthma, allergies, and autoimmunity. This book has helped me understand why eating healthy and exercising may not be enough for at least 50% of the population. It’s got me considering getting a Master of Science in Integrative Nutrition. This information has been a missing link in my understanding of creating and maintaining health, especially when concerning organic causes. I hope that one day soon the AMA will be more supportive of the findings presented in this book.

Clinical trial information related to NAFLD 📝" #2 Types of Liver diseases:- #NAFLD #NASH #NAFLD:- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, often called NAFLD, is a liver problem that affects people who drink little to no alcohol. In NAFLD, too much fat builds up in the liver. NAFLD ranges in severity from hepatic steatosis, called fatty liver, to a more severe form of disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). #NASH:- NASH causes the liver to swell and become damaged due to the fat deposits in the liver. NASH may get worse and may lead to serious liver scarring, called cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. #Grades of fatty liver:- Grade 1 -accumulation of fat in the liver cells is minimal and does not cause significant liver damage. Grade 2 fatty liver disease” is the term for moderate fatty liver disease and its symptoms. Grade 3 NAFLD is the most severe level. It indicates a high percentage of fat in the liver and inflammation of surrounding structures. It can occur in both NAFL and NASH. #Many diseases and health problems can increase risk of NAFLD, including:- *Family history of fatty liver disease or obesity. *High cholesterol. *High levels of triglycerides in the blood. *Insulin resistance. *Metabolic syndrome. *Obesity, especially when fat is centered in the waist. *Polycystic ovary syndrome. *Obstructive sleep apnea. *Type 2 diabetes. *Underactive thyroid, also called hypothyroidism. *Underactive pituitary gland, or hypopituitarism. #Prevention:- To reduce risk of NAFLD: #1Eat a healthy diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Limit alcohol, simple sugars and portion sizes. #2Avoid sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks, juices and sweet tea. Drinking alcohol can damage your liver and should be avoided or minimized. Keep a healthy weight. #3If you are overweight or obese, work with your health care team to gradually lose weight. If you are a healthy weight, work to keep it by eating a healthy diet and exercising. #NAFLD fibrosis score:- People who have a NAFLD fibrosis score above 0.676 are the most likely to have advanced liver fibrosis. If you have a score below -1.455, you're unlikely to have advanced liver fibrosis. The scores in between are considered indeterminate #Formula for NAFLD score:- NAFLD fibrosis score = -1.675 + 0.037 × age (year) + 0.094 × BMI (kg/m2) + 1.13 × IFG/diabetes (yes = 1, no = 0) + 0.99 × AST/ALT ratio - 0.013 × platelet count (×109/L) - 0.66 × albumin. Tests for NAFLD:- Blood parameters *Liver function tests (ALT, ALP, AST,GGT) *Lipid profile( LDL, HDL,TG,TC) *Cytokines- IL-6,CK-18 *Biomarkers- TIMP-1, HA, CRP, Apo A1, A2M, Ferritin, *Type 4 collagen *Liver Scores:- *NAFLD Score ,Fibro test,FIB-4,ELF, Fatty liver index,APRI *TSH, T3, T4 *MRI- PDFF * Fibro scan *Liver biopsy #Medicines:- There's not currently any medicine that can treat NAFLD, but various medicines can be useful in managing the problems associated with the condition.

Endothelial dysfunction is the first sign of atherosclerosis and has been associated with coronary plaque progression, unstable plaque, and increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and vascular events, including heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and Afib progression.⁠ ⁠ We must address this underlying root cause of heart disease by implementing science based nutrition that addresses and optimizes blood vessel function.⁠ ⁠ What is endothelial dysfunction? To put it simply, endothelial dysfunction is when your blood vessels are in a more narrowed and constricted state than they are supposed to be which leads to aggravation in the blood vessels and impairment in optimal cardiovascular function.⁠ ⁠ ❤️ In my 6 week heart optimization group program, we spend a whole week discussing how to address endothelial dysfunction through science based nutrition - it isn’t so simple to tell you to just eat one food or avoid another, it is understanding how your blood vessels work to do it’s job in the body and understanding the pairing of which foods (due to their specific nutrient content) enhance the pathways that make blood vessels more open, dilated, and protected to optimize its function.⁠ ⁠ 👉🏼 To join my next cohort, enroll here: https://lnkd.in/ecCQWHrQ ⁠ ⭐️Starting on Friday, February 9th at 12pm EST, this six-week heart optimization group program offers live lectures (which are also recorded) delving into the fundamental causes of heart disease, including inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. Participants will learn how to apply science-based nutrition to enhance their cardiometabolic labs and effectively address these issues. The program also provides six weeks of access to me for inquiries, real-time feedback, and support to help individuals optimize their heart health journey.⁠ ⁠ 👋🏼 If you have any questions about the program, feel free to message me!⁠ ⁠ Study reference: https://lnkd.in/eyZE9RxE #bloodpressure #bloodpressurecontrol #bloodpressuremonitor #bloodpressureproblems #bloodpressurecheck #bloodpressurehealth #bloodpressureculf #bloodpressuretest #lowerbloodpressure #lowerbloodpressurefoods #lowerbloodpressurenaturally #hypertensiontreamtent #hypertensiondiet #hypertensionmanagement #hypertensiontips #hypertensionsupport #hypertensionawareness #hypertension #hypertensionprevention #strokeprevention #transieentischemicattack #ministroke #heartattacksurvivor #heartattackprevention #hearthealthyfood #hearthealthyfoods #heartdisease #heartdiseaseawareness #preventandreverseheartdisease #heartdiseaseprevention

Low levels of norepinephrine in the heart (PET scans) may help to identify which at-risk patients may develop Parkinson’s disease or Lewy body dementia. Five years ago Dr Goldstein at NINDS reported a study that followed 27 patients for at least 3 years. Last month (2023) the 5 year outcomes in an expanded 34 patient follow up study are reported. Impact, unknown; and reason to study the manipulation of norepinephrine and catecholamine pathways as a way to mitigate and even prevent cognitive decline in these conditions. Sometimes we need to choose the marathon, not the sprint. Thank you Dr Goldstein and NINDS for the heavy lift. Thank you study volunteers. #prevention #NINDS #interdisciplinary

Save the date - public virtual webinar for the launch of the new fact sheet, "Disease-Related Malnutrition—Time for Action" on Wednesday 17th of July (11:00-12:00 CET).In collaboration with the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), the WHO Regional Office for Europe's Special Initiative on NCDs and Innovation, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity team is hosting a public virtual webinar for the launch of the new fact sheet, "Disease-Related Malnutrition—Time for Action" on Wednesday 17th of July (11:00-12:00 CET). Disease-related malnutrition is a commonly underdiagnosed and undertreated condition that affects 30-50% of inpatients. This condition is prevalent in patients with nearly any disease, and older adults, as well as people with noncommunicable diseases, are particularly at risk. The new joint WHO Europe and ESPEN factsheet will be launched during this webinar, and we invite you to join the discussion. Please register in advance using the following link: https://lnkd.in/dJkw6fqm After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
