Stress Induced Insulin Resistance

Last Friday I had a nutrition consult with a patient who is looking to up their performance. Part of this consult was looking at their blood work (I also asked for diurnal stress panel but the MD said he didn't need it...🙄🙄🙄...) and their fasted blood sugar was "normal" but much higher than I was expecting. Before I could even mention anything the patient even noted that their blood sugar was high. "So, how's your stress?" "Well, you know what's going on." Let's dig deeper into the stress world than look at blood sugar protocols.

Using the color of your pee to make a blanket statement about your hydration status is not a very reliable source. Have you ever heard of "functional dehydration"? You may be consuming enough water but it's not be absorbed by the cells; therefore, you're dehydrated. By using a device called a BIA, this is one of the first markers I look at with all of my Functional Nutrition patients. It tells me how/where your body stores fluids. It's wonderful to drink your correct amount of water but it's even better to use the water you drink. #performanceforlife #myhealthsparc #coolhandchiro

When I start talking supplements with patients the topic of cost often comes up. And, I'll always ask the same question, "What's the most expensive supplement?" The patient's response is always the same...hems & haws, searching for some elaborate answer, and looks bewilderment...and I respond with, "The one that doesn't work." Quality matters. That is why Metagenics products are used in all of my nutritional protocols. And, as Dr. Robert Silverman teaches with his Foundational 5, PhytoMulti is the go-to multi-vitamin that everyone should be taking. PhytoMulti takes you beyond basic wellness support. It has a proprietary blend of concentrated extracts and phytonutrients with scientifically tested biological activity to protect your cells and maintain DNA stability–activating your health potential like no other supplement. http://lhilt.metagenics.com/mp/products/phytomulti
