When you’re insulin resistant your muscles can’t start a fire. It is THIS, NOT nutrient excess, that leads to fuel excess and all the related troubles. In this video, we start with FIREMAKING 101, because getting and keeping a fire going is ALL ABOUT technique and supplying the ALL IMPORTANT ingredient i.e. OXYGEN. We discover that this OXYGEN requirement holds for REAL WORLD fires as well as biochemical fires and that improving oxygen deliveries will go a long way to “curing” your insulin resistance.

A miracle cure for insulin resistance explained
Does your nose always feel a little BLOCKED ? It’s more a sensation, than a reality and this is what makes it so hard to cope with. The official name for the problem is chronic sinusitis. Your doctor will shrug his shoulders and possibly blame pollution. It’s one of those things, for the most part, you just learn to live with. This problem of subjective nasal patency came on the radar of a group of European researchers. They had the bright idea, that the source of the problem was the nerve that services the nasal cavity and set about investigating. Join us for this episode of BETTER BODY CHEMISTRY TV, as we catch up with their musing which might turn out to be the simple cure for your blocked nose curse.
The cure for chronic sinusitis might be a sniff away
I often talk about what I like to call THE RULE OF THIRDS. The premise behind the idea is that when it comes to sitting down to eat, it is a good idea to mix things up i.e. to include some carbs, some protein and some fat.<br />The value of this approach is that it optimizes the post-prandial signalling.<br />In this video we explore the signalling that dietary fats unleash and why this can be especially helpful for the metabolically challenged, struggling with glycemic control.<br /><br />Here is the link to the video that outlines how proteins benefit glycemic control.<br />https://betterbodychemistry.com/diabetes/boost-incretins-naturally/<br /><br />Here is the link to the BETTER BODY CHEMISTRY community<br />https://app.heartbeat.chat/betterbodychemistry/invitation?code=75628F
Why eating fat and carbs at the same time is not a big problem
You desperately want your kid to “eat right”. <br /> <br />On the home front, it is a little easier to control what junior shovels down - you just don’t allow twinkies, popsicles or soda in the house. But the world beyond your home, is typically full of tantalizing food choices and keeping them away from your kids is difficult, if not downright impossible. <br /><br />You can try to demand COMPLIANCE or you can the POPEYE EFFECT.<br /><br />In this video, I introduce the POPEYE effect – what it is, the science that supports it and how you can use it to help your child, and yourself, make BETTER FOOD CHOICES. <br /><br />Here is the link to the Childhood Obesity Library page. <br />https://www.betterbodychemistry.com/childhood-obesity/ <br />Stories on the page, look at child specific causes of childhood obesity, as well as potential things that you can do to tackle it. <br /><br />Here is the link to the FREE Zero-2-one weight loss E-course.<br />https://betterbodychemistry.com/zero-to-one/<br /><br />If you would like to get help and support implementing these weight loss tips and strategies and/or you’re a looking for accountability, consider joining the BETTER BODY CHEMISTRY community.<br />https://app.heartbeat.chat/betterbodychemistry/invitation?code=75628F<br /><br />Finally, if you need a little one on one support, my Day of VOXER sessions give you an opportunity to pick my brain, get my eyes on your situation so you can get ideas and suggestions, specific for your situation and circumstances, while getting your questions answered. <br /><br />https://betterbodychemistry.com/day-of-voxer/
Use a little pop psychology to help you child make better eating decisions
Countless studies show, people who eat more fruits and vegetables live long and prosper. They’re natural, full of anti-oxidants etc. etc. etc. Standard dietary advice encourages us to eat FIVE fruits and vegetables every day. The eating fruit is relatively easy, but broccoli, cauliflower and kale…. Can be an acquired taste. So for many people, the 5 fruits and vegetables looks more like 5 fruits. Does it matter ? DEFINITELY. Especially if you are metabolically challenged. In this episode of BETTER BODY CHEMISTRY TV, we look at the evidence and discuss how you should think about getting your 5 fruits and vegetables for better health. It’s easier than you think, if you know how.

We’re always hearing about the fact that our phones give us dopamine hits. And they do. But did you know that meals, give beta cells a dopamine hit. And the dopamine hit is a good thing ! Both for your brain and your beta cells. In this video I explore the critical role dopamine plays in glucose control. We touch on what might be compromising your dopamine response and how you can give you beta cells, the dopamine hit they NEED, to function at their best. Both lifestyle and pharmacological solutions are explored. In the video, I dive into the two “dopamine diseases” i.e. Parkinson’s disease and psychosis (mood disorders). I briefly introduce the biology of what goes wrong and then discuss how the meds that are used to treat Parkinson’s often make glucose control challenging and how anti-psychotic meds actually cause type 2 diabetes. If you’re suffering from Parkinson’s disease or taking an anti-psychotic to manage a mood disorder, I think you will find this post particularly interesting.

When it comes to weight & metabolic problems, there is a tendency to blame………………YOU : • You’re not eating right. • You’re sitting on the couch. • You’re………….. WHATEVER ! But, the reality is, it’s seldom that simple. Yes, sometimes your habits and behaviours nudge you in the wrong direction. There is a lot of NOISE when it comes on this topic, so we could debate, which habits are problematic. The interesting thing, sometimes the problem is being caused by the medical fraternity, DIRECTLY. What many people don’t realize is the prescription med they’re taking, is helping with one problem, while creating a new one. There are quite a few that have been directly implicated in weight gain and metabolic mayhem. In this video, we take a look at the class of drugs known as the anti-psychotics. They’re typically used to treat serious mental illness, conditions like • Schizophrenia • Bipolar disorder • Depression It is recognized that all anti-psychotics cause a problem, but some are worse than others, why it happens is still contentious and the options to deal with it, are limited. But a team of researchers based in San Diego are looking for answers and what they’ve found MIGHT help you. And the great news is, their solution is something you can try on your own.
Strategies to lower weight gain whilst taking a anti psychotic
The pre-dinner snack that stops sugar levels spiking. Science suggest it might be time to add a new pre-dinner activity to your routine….. EXERCISE SNACKING. It makes biological sense and there is plenty of evidence, it can make a difference to glycaemic control. In this video, we look at just how beneficial exercise snacking can be and why it works, plus what it will take to get exercise snacking working for you, if you’re metabolically challenged. Here is the link to the Suppressing sugar spikes library page, where you will find more ideas and strategies that are easy to implement and will help you keep your sugar spikes in check. https://betterbodychemistry.com/suppressing-sugar-spikes/ To access the journal articles I've used to tell this story, visit the blog page and scroll down to the bottom for the full list https://betterbodychemistry.com/exercise-2/snack-stops-sugar-levels-spiking
How a little bit of exercise BEFORE dinner will help you improve sugar levels
If you’re battling to control your sugar levels….your insulin system IS BROKEN. The assumption is, the only way to fix the “sugar problem”, is to fix the “insulin problem”. Because up until now, we have assumed INSULIN is the only hormone, responsible for sugar deliveries. But this is biology……..REDUNDANCY RULES. A team of researchers, based at Stanford University, have recently discovered a completely independent sugar delivery system. The star of this system isthmin 1. In this video, I will introduce you to this new kid on the block. A frog hormone turned human adipokine. Isthmin does the same thing as insulin, only better. And preliminary data, suggests even if you are insulin resistant, this system still works…… Here is the link to the asprosin video https://youtu.be/xY7e4XcIjs8 Here is the link to the video explaining how fatty liver is behind hyperinsulinemia https://youtu.be/ipG3cbZh1So Here is the link to our website http://betterbodychemisty.com And if you would like to view this post, to go through it in more detail and “look” up the references – here is the link https://betterbodychemistry.com/isthmin-sugar-delivery-system/ Here is the link to join the BODY CHEMISTRY community. https://app.heartbeat.chat/betterbodychemistry/invitation?code=75628F The community if for you, if you want to engage with other people committed to creating BETTER BODY CHEMISTRY, using science based principles and you are ready to do more than just watch You-tube videos, you want to roll up your sleeves and apply science based principles to optimize your health.
