Episode 75: Skinny doesn’t necessarily equal to healthy

Wed, 25 Mar 2020 11:00:00 GMT

Obsessed with weight

Weight loss is a full-time obsession for the world. Millions, if not billions, of dollars, are spent annually on weight loss programs. I see too many people who are only concerned about their physical appearance rather than their biochemical function.

I've witnessed so many patients undergo weight loss programs and feel a sense of accomplishment yet false-security of their newfound physique. Here's a recording of a talk I did where I discuss the idea around “skinny doesn't necessarily equal to healthy”.

The key is to view health from the state of the cell. What does that mean? Well, if the cell is functioning well, then the body is functioning well. That begs the question “well what does the cell need to function well?”

Here's the basic foundation that I instruct all my patients:

* Proper Exposure to the right “fields” * We always start with the electromagnetic field of the brain – where our dominant thoughts occur* Then we look to the electromagnetic field of the heart – where our dominant emotions are expressed * Then we look at how much exposure to the right type of lights, especially sun (as we need lots of it) and minimizing artificial lights (especially at night)* And finally, we address exposures to the non-native types of EMFs like WiFi, Bluetooth, Cell tower 4G/5G, etc. * Adequate nutrients* Corrective diets – Elimination diet* Lifelong sustaining diets – Weston A Price/Human Diet “Deep Nutrition” * Help the mitochondria to function properly* Adequate hydration* Spring* Reverse Osmosis Filtered & Purified* Filtered* Proper stimulus * Hormetic stressors* Effective removal of toxins & infections

Episode 60: The 5 Overlooked Causes of Low Back Pain

Wed, 01 Aug 2018 12:00:00 GMT

Low back pain is just one of those things that will literally keep you from doing the normal things in life Even using the bathroom can become very difficult. One surprising statistic that I ran across was that low back pain actually costs our country more money than cancer. Wow! And one main reason for that is due to the fact that everyone will experience it in their lifetime.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits. And the common treatment they usually give is rest and pain medications.
But in our clinic (Velocity Wellness Center) we find that there are 5 commonly overlooked reasons for low back pain. Once these are identified (the key) and overcome, you'll be on the road to being pain-free in no time.
5 overlooked causes of back pain
#1: digestive issues
When you start to have digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, etc.) your nervous system will refer pain to your back. Depending upon where you're having issues in your digestive tract will determine where the pain will refer to.
#2: dehydration
Not having enough water in your body will cause your kidneys to work harder. Kidney issues will refer pain to the low back area. This will also place a strain on your colon to reabsorb and extract every last drop of water from the foods you eat. This will then start the constipation process.
#3: shortened psoas muscle
The psoas muscle sits on the front of your spine (this is the tenderloin) and often becomes shortened due to inactivity and sitting for long periods (i.e. desk jobs). When this muscle is shortened it will put undue stress on the low back when you stand up or do some sudden movement. This can also cause lumbar disc issues because the psoas muscle is attached to the discs.
#4: emotional stress
Emotions have a huge part in how your body functions and emotional stress will cause tightening of muscles. This is due to the stress response of “fight or flight”. Your muscles become hyper contracted in preparation to fight against an attacker or run away.
#5: underlying heart issue
There’s a syndrome that’s really unknown to most called “cardiac low back” where you may have an underlying heart issue that causes your low back to hurt. This is a reactive/protective mechanism your body instantiates to stop you from exerting more.

Episode 59: The Lab Tests you need for optimal health

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 12:00:11 GMT

Let me clear the air…the standard lab tests your doc is running on you isn't giving you the information you need for optimal health. And it sure isn't helping you to prevent diseases from happening. In today's podcast, I'm going to discuss the lab tests I recommend to patients that will give information for predicting health outcomes based on the current research.
Tests for Optimal Health
HS-CRP (goal < 0.5mg/L): a great measure for inflammation. Inflammation is at the core of most chronic degenerative diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancers. If you have high levels of inflammation in your body first make sure to stop doing the things that will increase inflammation. Then flood your body with antioxidants and polyphenols (green tea & olive oil are great sources). You also want to search for the cause of the inflammation, which can be a food sensitivity or gut infection.
25-OH Vitamin D (goal 50-75 ng/dL): Vitamin D deficiencies is another core issue for chronic degenerative diseases. It is synthesized in the skin from sun exposure and then activated in the liver and kidneys. Most people are deficient in this nutrient due to being indoors during the day! If you are deficient 2000IU – 5000IU per day should suffice.
Homocysteine (goal: < 5 mMol/L): a byproduct of metabolizing Methionine to Cysteine, high levels is indicative of a folic acid, B12 or B6 deficiency. Common in people who have MTHFR SNP or those who have a lower intake of B12, B6, Folic acid. If you have high levels of homocysteine, you must supplement accordingly and take in foods that help to convert homocysteine into cysteine (garlic, onion, eggs, ginger, broccoli, sprouts).
Blood Sugar: Fasting Blood Glucose (goal 75, HbA1c goal < 5%, Glucose Tolerance Test goal slow rise, and fall): Maintaining optimal levels of blood sugar will ensure proper cellular functioning. Higher levels here means that you need to make some serious changes to your lifestyle. This incorporates both diet and exercise as studies have shown that you need both to lower blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity. Cut out the higher sugar foods. Look for hidden sugars in your food. Eat a whole food diet.
Urine pH (goal 6.5-7.5): take a pH strip and measure your first urination in the morning. Most people will fall in the acidic range which is typically indicative of lowered alkaline reserves and higher acidic stress on the body (which has numerous causes). Magnesium oil, Alkaline diet and Alkalete helps to buffer the acidic load. Listen to this episode to see the effects of an acidic pH on your body.
Omega 3:6 Essential Fatty Acid ratio (goal > 8%): Omega-3 essential fatty acids are anti-inflammatory, while omega-6's are pro-inflammatory. You need a good balance of BOTH. Modern diets are predominantly omega-6 based. This is the reason you'll see HS-CRP levels higher. If you're lower than 8% on this test, you'll want to consume more grass-fed meats, smaller fishes like anchovies & sardines and also supplementing with fish or krill oil. Flax & chia seeds, as well as spirulina/chlorella, are a great vegan/vegetarian alternative. Shoot for 4-6g of Omega-3 consumption per day.
Lymphocyte Response Assay (goal NO REACTION): this measures your immune tolerance. You don't want any reaction here.
BONUS tests
Salivary Hormone Panel: this measures the “active” hormones. Here's an episode where we talk about balancing your hormones.
DUTCH test: this measures the “active” hormones and it's “metabolites”. In my opinion, the best way to go in taking a look at your overall hormonal picture.
Organic Acid test: this test will show us nutrient deficiencies that are ...

Episode 58: 5 Surprising Things Bad Posture does to You

Wed, 13 Sep 2017 12:00:18 GMT

We were meant to MOVE! Posture affects movement and movement affect how your nervous systems functions. If your nervous system isn't functioning at optimum, then I can guarantee your organs aren't functioning at optimum as well. Today's podcast we dive into the 5 surprising things bad posture does to you!

What causes poor posture?

* Habit
* Shortened muscles
* Shortened fascia
* Inhibited muscles

Idea of central integration
It's been shown that the joint mechanoreceptors in the spine will cause different parts of the brain to become activated or not. If you have bad posture, the joint receptors will not send the proper input to the brain and thus the brain will not send proper signals to the corresponding organs. Plus, abnormal posture causes your rib cage to close down and decrease your lung capacity and really puts a strain on the rest of your vital organs to function. Above all, abnormal posture will demand more energy just to keep you upright and moving. This will increase fatigue.
5 Surprising Side Effects of Bad posture

* Chronic Headaches: with the advent of electronic devices we're constantly looking down. This puts extra strain on the posterior muscles of the neck to keep your head from falling forward. Prolonged forward & downward head posture will induce a strain on the muscles which will display as headaches. The sub occipital muscles can pinch the sub occipital nerve
* High Blood Pressure: typical bad posture will result in forward rolling in of the shoulders and rounding of the upper back. This will decrease lung capacity which will lead to decrease in oxygen intake and increase in carbon dioxide buildup in the blood. The kidneys will then have to work harder to buffer the pH in the blood from going too acidic due to the increased carbon dioxide buildup. The kidneys also make hormones that regulate blood pressure, but if it has to work harder to balance blood pH, then it will not be able to regulate blood pressure optimally. Plus there are receptors within the neck that affects blood pressure.http://www.medicaldaily.com/study-slumping-and-slouches-raises-blood-pressure-244680
* Constipation: altered posture alters how your internal organs function. This has a profound effect on how your intestines move food matter through. Bad posture slows the movement of your intestines and can back you up https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1773697/ Important fact with those suffering from IBS
* Fatigue & Weight Gain: the body has to work harder just to keep you upright. Your nervous system wants to maintain a posture that is upright and demands the least amount of muscle activation as possible. The more you deviate from center, the harder the system has to work and thus you expend and require more energy. This means you get tired faster and you crave quick energy…this quick energy is often obtained in the form of high sugar consumption. Then the body puts on more weight which will then alter posture even further. It's a vicious cycle. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27494342 Upright posture improves fatigue in people with depressive symptoms
* Depression: Studies have shown that posture affects mood (see study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25222091) 74 participants, randomly assigned to either slumped or upright seated posture. Upright participants reported higher self-esteem, more arousal, better mood, and lower fear, compared to slumped participants. The slumped participants used more negative emotion words,

Episode 56: The Truth About Vaccines with Ty Bollinger

Wed, 07 Jun 2017 12:00:16 GMT

Vaccines are a hot topic right now. Many parents are faced with the decision: to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. There are many truths and many myths that surround this topic and I find that people are very emotionally involved in this conversation. In this episode I interview Ty Bollinger on his new docu-series “The Truth About Vaccines”. It's a crazy world we're living in right now. It is truly “the best of times and the worst of times.” Vaccines…a very polarizing topic. Some claim that it is the cause of autism. Others claim that it's perfectly safe. But what does the science show?

Episode 40: 7 Steps to ending fatigue

Wed, 01 Feb 2017 13:00:27 GMT

* Do you ever wake up tired in the morning even after sleeping for 7-8 hours? Feel like hitting the bed after 2 PM? Need 3 cups or more of Starbucks coffee just to make it through the day? If this sounds like you, you need help. Millions of people suffer from some form of fatigue but have idea what to do about it.
* Fatigue is a common complaint for patients in my office. It can either be the primary issue or a secondary effect. Many people, especially teenagers and young adults, are turning to artificial energy boosters such as energy drinks or coffee. These, however, have very detrimental effects upon your body (energy drinks).
* Some people think that all they need to do is get more sleep, but then they find difficulty trying to fall asleep or stay asleep. So during they day they feel sleepy and at night time they can’t get rest. This becomes very detrimental to your body and mind.
* What I am about to recommend will help about 70% of the people suffering from fatigue. (If your fatigue is chronic in nature – the other 30% – you’re going to need something above this, but you can still use this as your base.)

Episode 22: Hormones and Pregnancy

Wed, 16 Dec 2015 14:00:30 GMT

Pregnancy is such an important and sometimes confusing topic for most of us. I know most women would love to by-pass the whole “morning sickness” thing. And most parents want their baby to be as healthy as possible. In this podcast episode, we discuss all the aspects of hormones and it's effects upon a pregnancy.

What happens when you enter pregnancy stressed out?
Breaking down the trimesters of pregnancy
Trimester 1: the body will prioritize survival over thriving. So the hormones for digestion & reproduction are shunted to helping the body combat stress. This results in morning sickness, nausea, digestive disturbances, emotional swings, cravings.
Trimester 2: the placenta begins to produce its own progesterone. But mom will take that progesterone and will make cortisol, instead of using it for a healthy pregnancy.
Trimester 3: the developing baby begins to produce his/her own hormones and mom begins to steal those hormones. The baby's adrenal glands begin to enlarge to keep up with supplying Mom's needs! Mom begins to feel great, but the baby is becoming depleted of it's hormones.
Post-Partum: Now when the baby is born, it comes out hyperstimulated and form sensitivities. Digestive disturbances begin for the baby (i.e. colic). Mom now loses her hormonal supply and falls into post-partum depression. Then the surge of estrogen for lactation will outcompete thyroxine and mom will slip into a relative state of hypothyroidism making it hard to lose the baby weight.
So what should mom & dad do before pregnancy?

* Get hormones tested and get it back into balance
* Detoxify your body…begin with balancing your pH levels
* Decrease stress
* Eat RIGHT!
* Work with a holistic/wellness physician to guide you through the course of your pregnancy

This also applies to moms during pregnancy and post pregnancy…

Episode 21: Balancing Your Hormones Naturally

Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:00:00 GMT

How do I rebalance my hormones naturally? This is a common question I get from patients and from people like you…so here's a podcast on how to balance your hormones naturally.
The 7 Steps to Rebalancing Your Hormones
Step 1: Detoxify. The Liver controls the metabolism of your hormones. It breaks down the excess estrogen. If the liver doesn't break down estrogen effectively you'll end up with estrogen dominance.
Step 2: “Oil Change”. Rebalance omega-3/omega-6 ratio. You need coconut oil, avocado, flax seeds, chia seeds, wild salmon. Other useful oils…Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Oil.
Step 3: Progesterone supplementation.
Step 4: Supplementation.

* Vitamin D. As you age, you tend to produce less vitamin D in your skin, plus it needs to become activated in the liver and kidneys. We're not getting enough sun exposure. Get vitamin D tested. Supplement with 5000IU of Vitamin D daily.
* Magnesium oil
* Adaptogens – ashwagandha, Rhodiola
* Undenatured Whey Protein

Step 5: Essential Oils.

* Clary Sage
* Lemon Oil
* Lemongrass
* Lavender

Step 6: Sleep. The most important part is the quality of sleep. How quickly you get into R.E.M. We use a supplement called “DREAM” to help get your body into REM quickly. Dream has supporting nutrients for melatonin such as valerian root and 5-HTP. Make sure to have a cool, dark room that you sleep in.
Step 7: (oops said step 6 on the podcast) get some light exercise. Get your body moving. Stimulates the lymphatic system. Add in resistance weight training. I like these resistance bands

Episode 20: Detoxification Masterclass

Fri, 04 Dec 2015 01:21:37 GMT

Take a ride through the detox express in this episode of our podcast. Let's learn about the importance of detoxification. Here's what we're going over in this podcast episode:
The definition of detoxification. Differentiation between “frank poisoning” and “bioaccumulation”
Toxins have to be excreted, metabolized or stored. The majority of the toxins we're exposed to are being stored in our fatty tissues. We are exposed to two types of toxins – endogenous (the ones our bodies naturally make as a by-product of metabolism) and exogenous (the toxins we take in from our environment).
Since WWII, we saw a drastic increase in man-made chemicals to the tune of 80,000. These chemicals are causing serious detrimental effects upon our bodies.
