Stop Muscle Loss | Cravings

DID YOU KNOW that a new study from Cell Metabolism revealed separate fat and sugar craving pathways, as well as a concerning result: combining these pathways overly triggers our desire to eat more than usual.

Going back to our hunter-gatherer days, human brains are programmed to seek out high-fat, high-sugar combinations, regardless of conscious efforts to resist. This programming has not evolved very well over thousands of years. This is why avoiding them can be so challenging. Even so, there are numerous techniques to assist, starting with "never eating a carbohydrate alone".

DID YOU KNOW that a history of repeated antibiotic use causes defects in the normally protective mucus barrier of the gut, due to antibiotic-driven alterations in the microbiota?

In a study from Gut Microbes and Science Advances, the researchers found a bacteria-independent mechanism through which antibiotics can damage the mucus barrier directly.

The intestines are lined by a continuously expanding mucus layer that bacteria usually cannot cross. If the gut environment is disturbed, by diet or antibiotic use, the mucus barrier can lose its ability to function normally. This allows bacteria to reach the intestinal lining and trigger inflammation and potentially even contribute to the development of various GI disorders.

If you think this is a possibility, a stool analysis is a great place to begin.

DID YOU KNOW if you have an overgrowth of yeast, it is something that warrants your immediate attention?

The fungus Candida albicans, which can proliferate when we consume too many foods and beverages with yeast, produces enzymes that break down the blood-brain barrier and produce toxic amyloid beta-like peptides, according to the journal Cell Reports. These peptides activate microglial brain cells, helping in partially controlling the fungal infection. The problem is the amyloid peptides are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

We have worked with clients with yeast overgrowth for decades. We also have the Candida Action Plan at our shopsite if you are interested in self-help information.
