Want To get Off Your Meds?

What would it look like if you stopped symptom management and actually healed?

I'd like you to make a big shift against the standard treatment model to an actual system that supports your foundations by building a protocol that reverses insulin resistance, improves hormone balance, and eliminates costly prescriptions that you were led to believe are forever.

Not A Quick Fix.

I want to be absolutely clear, there is no magic quick fix. Remember this, where we are today has taken decades to get here where action is needed.

Metabolic Damage From Within.

We can't "fix" what's been brewing for decades with another diet or detox plan because our metabolic health is so much more than weight gain.

What's actually happening.

Chronically elevated insulin
Fatty liver
Cravings, fatigue, inflammation
Hormone imbalance
Poor sleep & mood swings

Unfortunately for many of us, we are stuck in survival mode, treating the symptoms instead of digging into why this is happening.

Think; Whack-A-Mole. A really fun game, but not a great way to live!

Here's The Plan.

Stop snacking, grazing and eating every few hours.

Every single time we eat, insulin is signaled, so center on 2-3 protein centered meals that contain fiber-rich carbohydrates. Aim for more protein [40g.] and pair this with sunlight first thing every morning. Our blood sugar, cortisol, and hunger hormones will begin to adjust and actually support us. This will allow our pancreas and digestion the necessary rest required to work optimally. Our metabolism needs downtime between meals so that insulin signaling isn't happening constantly.

Every snack results in an insulin surge which blocks our body's ability to burn fat.

Go to bed earlier.

Nothing good ever happens late at night! True in all areas of our life because we need an established rest schedule which will allow our body to utilize the necessary hormones crucial for good sleep.

Late nights and irregular sleep patterns reduce melatonin which increases our cortisol leading to more insulin resistance.

Focus on nourishment to build health.

Our blood sugar can't stabilize on a boatload of processed food-like products. Fuel your body with real, whole foods for nourishment.

Get up and move.

Just 10 minutes of movement after eating will dramatically lower glucose spikes.

Add the Feel Great System.

This easy and affordable 2-step system of Yerba Mate tea & a daily soluble fiber balances insulin, curbs cravings, supports GLP-1 hormone release, and restores our metabolic flexibility. Plus it's not a prescription, but an all-natural product.

Using Feel Great encourages us to eat by the clock which helps us burn fat and become healthy once again.

Be patient and kind to yourself.

Healing takes time and chasing results can distract us from the actual healing that's happening slowly and consistently over time.

Patience is rewarded as we begin to see better labs, less belly fat, and renewed energy.

I'm adopting the Feel Great System to address some metabolic issues that I haven't been able to resolve.

Weight gain - especially in my middle.
HDL/LDL ratios moving in the wrong direction.
Higher triglycerides since last lab work.
Less restful sleep.

These are common complaints that many of my clients also experience and it's frustrating as someone who knows a lot about food and the impact it has on our health, to still feel like I'm struggling to find changes that will stick and work!

Moving Forward - Science Not Hype.

Let's stop this metabolic train from derailing into type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, heart issues, stroke, dementia and many more issues that seem to plague us as we age.

Drink 1-2 cups of Unimate Tea

[Yerba Mate] during the day.

Why does this work?

Loaded with chlorogenic acid extract, saponins and theobromine which provide these amazing benefits:
Lowers belly fat and weight gain.
Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.
Improves mitochondrial function and energy metabolism.
Lowers LDL and triglycerides.
Improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.
Better gut health and barrier integrity [less leaky gut].
Lowers blood pressure - improves cardiovascular health.
Crushes the "food noise".
Breaks down fats to mobilize into energy instead of fat storage in the liver.
Increases focus and energy.

Add a Balance stick daily [fiber supplement] before your largest meal that contains a greater amount of carbohydrates.

What's in Balance?

Guar Gum - supports healthy cholesterol levels, reduces IBS symptoms, balances gut, acts as a prebiotic, increases fullness, reduces glycemic index of foods, stimulates satiety hormones.
Locust Bean Gum - improves cholesterol, regulates blood sugar, aids in acid reflus, acts as soluble fiber, supports microbiome, increases fullness.
Gum Arabic - supports digestive health, regulates blood sugar, promotes satiety and appetite control, gentle fiber - well tolerated.
Citrus Pectin - great blood sugar controller, improves gut health supports detoxification, especially heavy metals, gentle on the gut.
Chromium for insulin sensitivity and blood sugar balance.
Phytosterols for healthy cholesterol levels, heart & circulatory health, antioxidant support.
Beta-Glucans to reduce constipation, boost immune function, lower blood pressure and weight control.
Calcium Carbonate - supports bone & teeth health, maintains muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm regulation, and a stomach acid reducer.
Niacin - supports energy production at the cell level, supports brain and nervous system function, promotes healthy skin and circulation.

Intermittent Fasting For The Win!

Here's the secret sauce...

Adopt a shorter eating window which allows your body to repair and heal while also keeping steady blood sugars and a reduction in insulin secretion. This keeps our belly from collecting fat, protects our liver from excess fat storage and provides the very best chance of a quality of life into our super senior years.

Explore fasting as a challenge and begin with a 14/10 eating-fasting window. After a few weeks of consistency, expand your fasting to a 16/8. During the second month, try a 18/6 schedule. This will yield optimal results over time.
