“Turmeric: My Brain and Body’s Best Friend for Fighting Farm and Life Inflammation”

· ·

In the last 48 hrs, I very nearly dislocated my kneecap and (different event) got nailed by a kicking cow ( #farmgirllife). We tend to think about turmeric as having stellar physical inflammation curbing ability, and it does! (this plus Sulfurzyme and BLM keep me pain free despite my active lifestyle 🤪).
Turmeric (curcumin) for the lesser known wins too!
 
🤓There are currently zero pharmaceutical interventions which effectively slow or reverse age-related cerebrovascular pathologies (nobody’s got time for cognitive decline or straight up brain compromise due to silent brain inflammation!). Yes, I know there are drugs “for” these things, but if you read the studies, these pharma products don’t reverse (or even slow down) the inevitable process despite their advertising claims.
 
Pharma vs farma…..
Curcumin has some really interesting properties for brain health…. a quick review in some of my most favorite scientific stomping grounds (ie: Pubmed, Cochrane library, and Wiley online library) reveals dozens and dozens of studies on the neuroprotective properties of turmeric, both proactively and “cleaning up the mess” action (which is helpful for my brain as I do my “inside” work. Granted, my inside job is probably a little safer sometimes than my farmgirl work! I’ve got lots to do and have no time for neuroinflammation….. now or later!)
 
Jonell Babekuhl Geren, thanks for my most favorite “designed with Liz in mind” mug…. It makes me happy every time I drink out of it! 💖

PS: Bonus points for YL’s Golden Turmeric… it is formulated in such a way that it’s 24x more bioavailable than standard turmeric extract. A little goes a long way!
 

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

· ·

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!

What is the Risk for Cardiovascular Events and Drug Usage

· ·

Question (and I’m truly curious): If a drug prevents 1 cardiovascular event for every 63 high-risk cardiovascular patients every 3 years, but it costs $400 a month, and while on it:
⁉️1 out of 10 patients will likely develop gout
⁉️1 out of 30 may have tendon rupture or injury
⁉️1 out of 100 will likely develop gallstones
(for someone with crazy good math skills, I’d love to know the overall benefits versus risk ratio on this pharmaceutical story problem! 🤪🤓…. might even want to send you a thank you gift because my curiosity is THAT piqued! )
…….. would you take it? 🤔
 
If this condition could instead be managed with intentional lifestyle changes (and you were made aware of that) which included decreasing BMI and lowering chronic inflammation in the body, would doing so be worth it?

Insulin Resistance -part 2

· ·

Day 2: Insulin Resistance
We have so many tools….. and we also have tools with so many uses! A Swiss army knife of plants🌿💪⚒ if you will.
 
We tend to think of Ginger as a wonderful support tool for digestion, but did you also know it’s quite the tool for supporting healthy insulin levels too?
 
There are lots of studies out there when you do just a wee bit of digging. 🤓
How about this one….. a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. ( even better…. not funded by any organization with a conflict of interest.)…. The Effects of Ginger Powder Supplementation on Insulin Resistance and Glycemic Indices in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes:
👉 8 weeks into the study, the “ginger group” reduced their fasting blood sugar by 10.5%.
👉 Additionally, insulin sensitivity increased significantly in the ginger group.
 
Here’s another one: The Effect of Ginger Consumption on Glycemic Status, Lipid profile, and some inflammatory markers in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. https://www.tandfonline.com/…/10.3109/09637486.2014.880671 (go read the abstract….. fascinating stuff!)
 
There are sooooo many more studies out there. Per the Young Living website, Ginger “may support healthy weight management when combined with exercise and a healthy lifestyle regimen as a dietary supplement.”
While we will never be able to out-supplement poor lifestyle choices, we can use tools like ginger to help mediate and support good choices! I’m thankful for the many tools in the toolbox such as Ginger Vitality!
