Gearing up for tomorrow night…. let me know (PM me ) if you’d like the ZOOM link!

Bonus…. get a copy of your labs and learn what to look for preemptively to avoid a diagnosis

(or discover a diagnosis you might not even be aware of that you may need to remedy

). We’ll be zeroing in on a few simple, but key lab numbers. #empowerment!

Cholesterol: Friend, Not Foe – The Truth About Inflammation and Health

Liz James · February 20, 2025 ·

Seriously… If we’ve learned anything over the last few years, it’s that whatever is villainized is likely something that is good for you. Cholesterol is one of those things. (Cholesterol is not the problem….. INFLAMMATION is the problem). We suffer when cholesterol is too low….. every cell in our body needs cholesterol…. our brain needs cholesterol (people who have low cholesterol are the ones that ultimately tend to end up in dementia units) …. our sex hormones need cholesterol. You’ve heard me talk about this sooooo many times.

This is a new one for me tho: Cholesterol may be helpful in boosting cancer fighting abilities? I’m not surprised by this (especially in light of how every cell needs cholesterol to function well).

This doesn’t mean you should run out and eat junk food. Remember sugar and processed foods are inflammatory, as are seed oils (which the restaurant industry unfortunately loves to use).

Eat like God intended us to eat….. whole foods!

BTW, an estimated 78% of adults in the USA also fall short of eating adequate amounts of “reds” in the fruit and veggie world too (which helps the body in some pretty amazing ways!)

Interesting Study on the Influence of the Father’s Diet

Liz James · July 25, 2024 ·

Such an interesting article! We (hopefully) tend to be cognizant of a mama’s health impacting a fetus/baby’s health and future health, but rarely do we think about what impact a man’s health has on the contribution of a child’s health outcome beyond uncommon genetic anomalies.

” A study found that after a 12-week high-fat diet [from ultra-processed foods], father rats had newborn daughters with approximately 30 percent reduced pancreatic beta-cell mass. Beta cells are crucial, as they produce insulin. “

We are largely what we eat…. and so are our babies! Nutrition is key to health (as is exposure to chronic …. even “low grade” chronic toxicity). Do not underestimate the impact your environment has on health outcomes.
