Since the early 80’s, for the first time in history, we had government telling us what to eat – encouraging us to eat far more refined carbs, and much less healthy fat and proteins, and our weight and health have only suffered from it. Now 88% of us are metabolically unfit.
The program works to reverse insulin resistance - working to regulate and stabilize your blood glucose.
Expect blood chemistry markers such as triglycerides, glucose, and A1c to improve when insulin resistance improves.
When we reduce the accumulation of damaged cells, the body works to turn on self-healing switches known as autophagy.
When we lose our ability to connect insulin to our cells to deliver blood sugar, we end up storing that blood sugar as fat (stored energy).
Excess weight is usually a stored energy battle. When the body loses its ability to burn fuel, it will compensate by storing fuel as fat.
We store toxins in our fat cells. In addition to correcting insulin signaling, our job is to support our body's ability to detoxify and clear toxins.
Autophagy is a self-healing switch that works to breakdown and recycle old, damaged cells in order to make new cells, particularly stem cells. Our diet plan enables autophagy be enabling a healthy fast.
Our nervous system has two divisions...one is known as the sympathetic state (fight/flight), and the other is the parsympathetic state (rest/digest). The body's power state is its parasympathetic state.
