  1. Let’s Get to the Root of It!

  2. “LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE AND MEDICINE BE THY FOOD” Hippocrates The reality: TOO MUCH SUGARY, “DEAD” FOOD CAUSING….. INFLAMMATION CENTRAL OBESITY INSULIN RESISTANCE

  3. FACTS • #1 killer of women: HEART DISEASE • 1 in 4 women die of heart disease in US • CVD death rate substantially higher in black women than white women • Risk factors: high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, smoking, elevated cholesterol, inactivity

  4. “CARDIO”METABOLIC SYNDROME Combination of medical disorders that increase risk of CVD and diabetes • Hyperglycemia (FBS >100 or T2DM) • Hyperinsulinemia • High blood pressure • Central obesity (waist >35 inches in women) • Reduced HDL “good” cholesterol (<60) • Elevated triglycerides (>150)

  5. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS!!“Real Time” BLOOD PRESSURE < 120/80 TOTAL CHOLESTEROL < 200 HDL CHOLESTEROL (good) 45-60 LDL CHOLESTEROL (bad) <100 GLUCOSE <100 F HEIGHT, WEIGHT, WAIST SIZE <35 inches BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) <25

  6. WAIST SIZE MEASURES OF CENTRAL OBESITY • absolute waist circumference >40 INCHES MEN • >35 INCHES women • waist–hip ratio: waist divided by hips • >0.9 for men and >0.85 for women

  7. ABDOMINAL Fat • Not just a passive depot of fat • Active manufacturer of toxic “signals” to other parts of the body • 25 different signaling compounds known to be made by fat cells • Helps maintain itself by producing a chemical that regulates appetite.

  8. KNOW ALL OF YOUR NUMBERS!!“Predictors” • hs-CRP (High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein) (<1) • HOMOCYSTEINE (<10 umol/L) • VITAMIN D3 (25 hydroxyvit D)- 50-70ng/Ml • HgBA1C (< 5.5) • Insulin levels • HORMONE LEVELS (Thyroid, Adrenal, Ovarian)

  9. HYPERINSULINEMIA EFFECTS

  10. Vitamin D • Formed in skin through action of UVB light on cholesterol • Converted in liver & kidney to 25-OH D then 1,25 di-OH D • Purpose: stimulates absorption of calcium by intestines • Has wide ranging physiologic effects on other organs including the heart

  11. Disorders Linked to Vitamin D Deficiency Stroke Cardiovascular disease Osteoporosis Cancer Autoimmune diseases: multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes Depression

  12. Test and Treat • Ask your physician for a 25 Hydroxy Vit D level (total) • Optimal levels: 50-80 ng/mL • Treat if lower than 30 ng/ml • Vitamin D3 5000 IU a day • SHOULD BE PART OF THE ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

  13. ANOTHER SILENT KILLER: Inflammation Basic mechanism and response of our immune system Intended to be short term to fend off microbes and heal wounds Chronic, low level inflammation now EPIDEMIC! Cause: DIET – refined sugar & starches, saturated, trans fats

  14. INFLAMMATION Important risk factor in cardiovascular disease Affects 60-70 million Americans Promotes atherosclerosis/thrombosis Associated with HTN, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome Is measurable in blood tests that are available through your physician

  15. High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein hs-CRP is a biochemical marker of subclinical inflammation Levels > 3mg/L = elevated risk for MI and stroke Part of metabolic syndrome definition EVEN IN HEALTHY WITH “NORMAL” CHOLESTEROL LEVELS! Ask your doctor to check your hs-CRP

  16. Pro-Inflammatory Foods Red Meats Saturated fats (meat fats, lard) Fried foods Cooking oils (corn, safflower, sunflower) Trans fats (margarine, chips,candies,cereals, baked goods) SUGAR* - the single most serious cause of inflammation!

  17. Anti-Inflammatory Foods Foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids (wild Atlantic salmon, mackerel, sardines) EVOO, canola Raw nuts and seeds (pecans,almonds,walnuts,flaxseeds) Dark green vegetables Homemade soups with chicken or meat bones (glucosamine/chondroitin)

  18. SUPPLEMENT FOUNDATION Multivitamin/Multimineral (Whole Food) daily Omega-3 fish oil 1000-3000mg daily Vitamin C 1000mg – 3000mg daily B-Complex 1 daily Vitamin D3 5000 IU daily CoQ10 100mg daily

  19. KEEP BUILDING….. PROBIOTICS daily DIGESTIVE ENZYMES with each meal Other system specific supplements based on testing and diagnosis

  20. WHERE SHOULD I BUY? The Vitamin Shoppe GNC Complementary Prescriptions (www.cpmedical.net) Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Green Acres Juice Plus+ (www.docstanleyjuiceplus.com)

  21. WHEAT…I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD FOR ME? THEN: “amber waves of grain” Tall, willowy, HEALTHY! NOW: 2 feet shorter, stockier to support heavier seed bed “FRANKENGRAINS”

  22. WHAT HAPPENED? 40-50 years of cross breeding & hybridization Safety for human consumption never tested in large scale scientific experiments USED EXTREME TECHNIQUES to alter the genetics i.e. potent industrial poisons Induces mutations in plants genetic code

  23. AMYLOPECTIN A = SUGAR More efficiently converted to blood sugar than table sugar 2 slices of whole wheat bread raise blood sugar higher than a candy bar 2 hours later blood sugar plunges >>>hunger Cycle of highs and lows

  24. …….INSULIN LEVELS SOAR With rise in blood sugar comes rise in insulin Glucose-insulin “roller coaster” Drives appetite, addictive brain exorphins Insulin causes visceral fat deposition Toxins produced in abnormal, visceral fat increase risks Hormone interrupters

  25. GLUTEN = GLIADIN PROTEIN Binds to brain’s opiate receptors = euphoria GI/digestive problems Direct inflammatory effect on bowel, CNS Stimulates appetite

  26. WHEAT, WHEAT EVERYWHERE!

  27. WHAT’S LEFT TO EAT? BEVERAGES: Water, Coffee, tea, fresh fruit juices, decaffeinated coffee, rice/almond/coconut milks, cocoa FLOUR: rice, almond, flaxseed EGGS: organic; egg whites VEGETABLES: organic, fresh/frozen MEAT: free range chicken, grass fed beef, FISH: wild salmon, tilapia, cod
