Is Your Gut Bacteria Making You Fat? 🤔 . . Rese

Is Your Gut Bacteria Making You Fat? 🤔
.
.
Research shows an “obese” gut microbiota is different from a “lean” one.
.
It turns out that you can have either:
🦠 Energy-efficient, calorie-consumer bacteria strains
🦠 Or ones that mess with your metabolism and make you fat
.
So how do you know what types of bacteria you have? 🤷🏼‍♀️
.
🧪 Take the right test -- this is the gold standard, but you can also go by symptoms.
.
❓ Do you have resistant weight loss, even though you do “all the right things?”
❓ Do you also have bloating, sluggish bowels, stinky gas, reflux, belching, or frequent diarrhea?
.
These are signs of dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut microbes).
.
🤷🏼‍♀️ What you can do to balance your microbes and cultivate the ones that help make you lean?
.
>>>> feed the good gut bacteria
.
❌ Too much bacteria in the Firmicutes phylum can shift you towards weight gain. These are the ones you find in most probiotic pills and foods (like raw sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, and kefir).
.
✅ The Bacteroides phylum includes the ones shown to make you lean. These are anaerobic and don’t come in pill form. You have to feed them. It turns out that they like polyphenols, which is a phytochemical found in plants.
.
Where do you get polyphenols?
.
📌 All berries, especially blueberries
📌 All colorful fruits, especially pomegranate seeds and black currants
📌 Nuts and seeds, especially pistachios, hazelnuts and pecans
📌 Beans, especially black and white beans
📌 Chocolate!
📌 Wine in moderation, coffee and black tea
.
.
.

2️⃣ Or ones that mess with your metabolism and make you fat

How to assess your gut
❓ Hashimoto’s
❓ RA
❓ Type 1 Diabetes
❓ Crohn’s / Colitis
❓ Lupus
❓ MS
.
If you have one of the above or another type of autoimmune disease, then I recommend getting this stool test annually...👇🏼
.
.
👉🏾 I recommend everyone with an autoimmune disease do an annual functional stool test that provides a comprehensive digestive analysis and microbial evaluation.
.
Then if things are not perfect, get help to treat and fix the problems that are identified until your stool test is perfect.
.
This is a great proactive approach to PREVENT inflammatory gut triggers and AVOID a relapse of autoimmune symptoms. . If you’ve done the hard work of getting in remission (and yes this can be done!), then this annual test can help keep you there!
.
.
Many labs offer these tests, and the gold standard is DNA PCR analysis to identify microbes.
.
A few key digestive analysis markers include:
.
🧫 Steatocrit 🔎 Fat in your stool
If you have fat in your stool it means that you are not breaking it down which is a pancreas or liver/gallbladder issue (bile and enzymes). Sometimes the reason for this is stomach pH is off. Did you know that chronic stress lowers stomach pH?
.
🧫 Calprotectin 🔎 Intestine inflammation
This is a really important marker because if elevated, it can mean that an autoimmune process is brewing, particularly a gut autoimmune process like inflammatory bowel disease (colitis or Crohn’s).
.
🧫 Pancreatic enzymes 🔎 Stomach pH
These are frequently low in cases of autoimmunity. Again this could be a sign of stomach pH being off, especially with chronic stress or chronic intake of acid blocking medication.
.
🧫 Secretory IgA 🔎 Immune activity
This measures the activity of your gut immune system, and whether it’s subpar, on target, or hyperstimulated.
.

A few days ago I described PMS as a sign that your menstrual cycle isn’t as healthy as it could be…⁠
.⁠
BUT…⁠
.⁠
Did it leave you wondering what *exactly* is a healthy (and fertile!) menstrual cycle?⁠
.⁠
In my work with women, the clinical goal is for each and every woman to have a healthy menstrual cycle.⁠
.⁠
It’s actually normal to have a healthy cycle, and if you don’t, it's a sign that there are things to fix! Restoring a healthy menstrual cycle is also the fastest and best way to optimize your fertility and have a successful conception.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Find out more on my latest blog: A Healthy and Fertile Menstrual Cycle 🩸⁠
.⁠
In it you will learn:⁠
✅ 4 KEY things that make up a healthy cycle⁠
✅ 6 STEPS to create / restore your cycle⁠

Are you a teen or woman who suffers from PMS (prem

Are you a teen or woman who suffers from PMS (premenstrual syndrome) for a few days, a week, or even up to two weeks before your period?⁠
.⁠
🚫 Did you know that PMS is not normal?⁠
.⁠
👉🏾You may think it’s normal because roughly 75% of women have at least one PMS symptom.😲⁠
.⁠
You may feel at the mercy of your hormones. However, in integrative, holistic medical systems, PMS is not considered normal or healthy.🙅🏽‍♀️⁠
.⁠
🔑 PMS symptoms are, in fact, a sign that something needs to be addressed.⁠
.⁠
🙌🏼 Fortunately, it’s completely possible to reduce or even eradicate your PMS symptoms.⁠
.⁠
It’s completely natural to be surprised when you get your period because you had no PMS or warning symptoms.🩸⁠
.⁠
✅ A root-cause approach to PMS✅⁠
.⁠
The fluctuation of your sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, that naturally occurs throughout your menstrual cycle, causes PMS symptoms for some women.⁠
.⁠
Hormone fluctuations are normal.⁠
.⁠
👉🏾 However, when you can’t adapt to the fluctuations, that’s when you feel symptoms.⁠
.⁠
So, we functional doctors ask the root-cause question:⁠
❓ Why would you have a hard time adapting to fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels?⁠
.⁠
We want to nail down the answer for you, so we can use the right treatment.✅⁠
.⁠
The top 7 root causes I see in my practice:⁠
.⁠
1️⃣ Nutrient deficiencies⁠
2️⃣ Low progesterone levels⁠
3️⃣ Estrogen dominance⁠
4️⃣ Inflammation⁠
5️⃣ Blood deficiency⁠
6️⃣ Blood sugar imbalance⁠
7️⃣ Liver “qi” stasis⁠
.⁠

Once you have a good conventional doctor on your t

Once you have a good conventional doctor on your team, then run, don’t walk, to a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in autoimmunity and inflammation. 🏃🏿‍♀️⁠
.⁠
✅ A functional practitioner is critical to help you move beyond a solely conventional approach.⁠
.⁠
❓ Why run to a functional practitioner?⁠
.⁠
🔍 A functional medicine practitioner will work like a detective to identify any sources of chronic inflammation, as well as immune triggers, and then help you reduce or resolve them.⁠
.⁠
This massively lifts the burden off your overloaded immune system and helps your autoimmune response simmer down.🔥⁠
.⁠
👉🏾 A deeper project is to orchestrate your immune cells away from a hypervigilant response, and towards a calm and balanced state.⁠
.⁠
👉🏾 This means your immune system is well-regulated instead of dysregulated.⁠
.⁠
This is possible even with autoimmunity. 🙌🏼⁠
.⁠
Once you are not chronically...⁠
🚫 inflamed⁠
🚫 infected⁠
🚫 triggered⁠
.⁠
...this fine-tuning is easier.⁠
.⁠
🌿 We use natural herbs and supplements that are proven to influence very specific immune cell actions.⁠
.⁠
You may have heard that certain agents help your immune system, such as reishi mushrooms or Vitamins A and D, or turmeric.⁠
.⁠
But when I’m working with each individual, I’m interested in specifically what kind of input YOUR immune system needs, and then we can pick:⁠
✅ the right agents⁠
✅ the right dose⁠
✅ for the right length of time⁠
.⁠

🔗 Shame that our bodies feel broken.⁠
🔗 Shame that we’re not perfect.⁠
🔗 Shame that we can’t keep up with others.⁠
🔗 Shame that what we feel can’t be seen / isn’t acknowledged by others.⁠
.⁠
I know, because at the height of when my Rheumatoid Arthritis was at its worst, I felt so much SHAME… and it was major hurdle for me to cross 🚧⁠
.⁠
And for me, in addition to all of the above, I had to release the shame of how I was supposed to be PERFECT as a healthcare provider / model of holistic health.⁠
.⁠
To overcome this, I had to learn how to…⁠
🌟 Fully accept myself without judgement⁠
🌟 Be REAL and TRUE to myself⁠
🌟 Recognize that I need a lot of time of alone (and that it’s okay)⁠
🌟 Stop myself before becoming overwhelmed⁠
🌟 Be careful about the people who I choose to surround myself with⁠
🌟 Get enough sleep for my body⁠
🌟 Eat the right foods for my body⁠
.⁠
.⁠
And most of all?⁠
.⁠
🙏🏽 ACCEPT all of the above, and not feel like a freak.⁠
.⁠
