33: What The BLEEP Happened To The Food Supply And How Do We Fix it?

In today's Nutritional Pearls Podcast, Jimmy and Christine talk all about why bioindividuality matters in Episode 32.

I really want to like this and continue to listen however it seems like maybe Christine needs some time as an NTP to practice and get more comfortable with the information. She often seems uncomfortable and unsure of what she’s talking about and is not always well versed on the topics discussed. I will keep listening and hope things improve.

Continuing to listen but...

The NuTritional Pearls Podcast

Welcome to the Nutritional Pearls Podcast, where each Monday we deconstruct another topic and look at how to approach treating it through the lens of real food keto. Today we look at the topic of digestion, and specifically how low amounts of stomach acid can cause symptoms that many people suffer from. Many people erroneously believe that they produce too much stomach acid because of the burning sensation of gastric reflux that requires them to grab some antacids like Rolaids and Tums or even a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Zantac and Prilosec. But your hosts Jimmy Moore and his Nutritional Therapy Practitioner wife Christine Moore, NTP (http://www.rebootingyournutrition.com) help explain why a whopping 90% of keto dieters (and really all people!) are deficient in stomach acid, how that shows up as physical symptoms, and what can be done to fix it in this video.

27: Reasons Why 9 Of 10 People Have Too Low Stomach Acid (And What To Do About It)

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet.  Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine’s training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy’s years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about the endocrine system in Episode 15. Here’s what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 15: 1. What is the Endocrine System? The collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things. 2. Definition of hormones: Regulatory substances produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action. 3. Glands of the endocrine system and the minerals they depend on: A. Hypothalamus: Located in the brain, this is the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. Think of it as a control center. It links the nervous system to the endocrine system through the Pituitary Gland. It releases at least 7 to 8 hormones that control the Pituitary Gland. The hypothalamus needs chromium for good health. 1. Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (TRH)-a releasing hormone produced by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH) and prolactin from the pituitary gland. 2. Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH)-signals the pituitary gland to create two hormones called leutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) 3. Growth Hormone-releasing Hormone (GHRH)-stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone into the bloodstream. Once growth hormone is releases into the blood, it has an affect on just about every tissue of the body to control metabolism and growth. 4. Corticotropin-releasing Hormone (CRH)-Its main function is to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) 5. Somatostatin - it regulates the secretion of hormones coming from the pituitary gland, including growth hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone. It also inhibits the secretion of pancreatic hormones which include Glucagon and Insulin 6. Dopamine - this functions as a neurotransmitter which is a chemical released by neurons or nerve cells to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain has many distinct dopamine pathways and one of these pathways plays a big role in reward-motivated behavior. B. The Pituitary Gland: Located in the brain, it has also been described as the “master gland” because it secretes hormones that control other endocrine glands. It needs manganese for good health 1. Oxytocin-controls key aspects of the reproductive system and some aspects of human behavior 2. Prolactin-hormone that helps women produce milk after childbirth and it’s important to both male and female reproductive health 3. Leutenizing Hormone-triggers ovulation and stimulates the production of testosterone 4. Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH)-tells your kidneys how much water to conserve; it also constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood 5. Human Growth Hormone (HGH)-encourages growth in children and adolescents, helps to regulate body composition as well as bodily fluids and muscle and bone growth, helps regulate sugar and fat metabolism, and it possibly helps with heart function C. The Pineal Gland also known as the Third Eye: This gland is also in the brain and it produces melatonin which helps with circadian rhythm. It is also known as the Third Eye because the Third Eye chakra in the Hindu system is located in the center of the forehead which is near the pineal gland. It depends on iodine and boron for good health. D. The Thyroid Gland: It depends on iodine and tyrosine. It is located in the front of the neck just below the Adams apple and is considered to be one of the major glands in the regulation of metabolism. It produces: 1. thyroxine (T4) which gets converted to its active form, triiodothyronine (T3) with the help of selenium. T3 controls basil metabolic rate 2. Calcitonin-responsible for the uptake of calcium to the bone E. The Parathyroid Gland: It’s located in the neck behind the thyroid and produces parathormone or PTH which is associated with the growth of muscle and bone and distribution of calcium and phosphate in the body. It depends on calcium for good health. F. The thymus: The thymus lays across the trachea and bronchi in the upper thorax. It produces thymosin which triggers the immune system by activating the T-Cells and T-Lymphocytes which are white blood cells associated with antibody production. The thymus needs zinc for good health. G. The pancreas: It lies behind the stomach and needs chromium for good health. The pancreas produces: 1. Insulin by the Beta Cells which is responsible for the conversion of glucose to glycogen, shuttling glucose into the cells, and the conversion of excess glucose to fat 2. Glucagon by the Alpha Cells which is responsible for the conversion of glycogen to glucose H. The adrenal glands: They are on top of the kidneys and they rely on copper for good health. They produce: 1. Adrenalin which prepares the body for fight or flight 2. noradrenalin-which has similar effects to adrenalin 3. corticosteroids that include cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone I. The ovaries: They are located in the lower abdomen and they rely on selenium for good health. They produce: 1. Estrogen which is responsible for the break-down of the uterus wall 2. progesterone which builds up and maintains the uterus wall for embedding of fertilized egg and is also associated with body hair, breast enlargement, and physical changes in the body J. The testes: They’re located outside the pelvic cavity and produce testosterone which is responsible for the development and function of male sex organs and is associated with body hair, muscle development, and voice change. They rely heavily on selenium for good health. K. The prostate: It’s about the size of a walnut located between the bladder and the penis. It produces prostate-specific antigen (PSA) which help keep the sperm in liquid form. The prostate relies on zinc for good health. 4. People with different endocrine issues carry weight on specific parts of the body A. If someone has adrenal gland problems through prolonged stress, cortisol is released and stores fat around the most vital organs which are in your midsection. Thus, a person with adrenal issues will carry more weight around their midsection. B. People with thyroid issues tend to carry weight all over since the thyroid controls the metabolism in all of your cells. C. For people with problems with their ovaries, they will tend to carry extra weight around their hips and lower stomach area. D. If a person has liver problems, they will tend to carry extra weight around their body but have thin legs 5. Blood sugar imbalances mess up the entire endocrine system because not only are the pancreas, liver, and adrenal glands all necessary for blood sugar regulation but they are also heavily involved in the endocrine system. Nutritional Pearl for Episode 15: It is very important to make sure blood sugar levels are normalized and under control before addressing any endocrine problem you have because blood sugar imbalances disrupt the entire endocrine system.

The brain has many distinct dopamine pathways and one of these pathways plays a big role in reward-motivated behavior. B. The Pituitary Gland: Located in the brain, it has also been described as the “master gland” because it secretes hormones that control other endocrine glands. It needs manganese for good health 1. Oxytocin-controls key aspects of the reproductive system and some aspects of human behavior 2. Prolactin-hormone that helps women produce milk after childbirth and it’s important to both male and female reproductive health 3. Leutenizing Hormone-triggers ovulation and stimulates the production of testosterone 4. Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH)-tells your kidneys how much water to conserve; it also constantly regulates and balances the amount of water in your blood 5. Human Growth Hormone (HGH)-encourages growth in children and adolescents, helps to regulate body composition as well as bodily fluids and muscle and bone growth, helps regulate sugar and fat metabolism, and it possibly helps with heart function C. The Pineal Gland also known as the Third Eye: This gland is also in the brain and it produces melatonin which helps with circadian rhythm. It is also known as the Third Eye because the Third Eye chakra in the Hindu system is located in the center of the forehead which is near the pineal gland. It depends on iodine and boron for good health. D. The Thyroid Gland: It depends on iodine and tyrosine. It is located in the front of the neck just below the Adams apple and is considered to be one of the major glands in the regulation of metabolism. It produces: 1. thyroxine (T4) which gets converted to its active form, triiodothyronine (T3) with the help of selenium. T3 controls basil metabolic rate 2. Calcitonin-responsible for the uptake of calcium to the bone E. The Parathyroid Gland: It’s located in the neck behind the thyroid and produces parathormone or PTH which is associated with the growth of muscle and bone and distribution of calcium and phosphate in the body. It depends on calcium for good health. F. The thymus: The thymus lays across the trachea and bronchi in the upper thorax. It produces thymosin which triggers the immune system by activating the T-Cells and T-Lymphocytes which are white blood cells associated with antibody production. The thymus needs zinc for good health. G. The pancreas: It lies behind the stomach and needs chromium for good health. The pancreas produces: 1. Insulin by the Beta Cells which is responsible for the conversion of glucose to glycogen, shuttling glucose into the cells, and the conversion of excess glucose to fat 2. Glucagon by the Alpha Cells which is responsible for the conversion of glycogen to glucose H. The adrenal glands: They are on top of the kidneys and they rely on copper for good health. They produce: 1. Adrenalin which prepares the body for fight or flight 2. noradrenalin-which has similar effects to adrenalin 3. corticosteroids that include cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone I. The ovaries: They are located in the lower abdomen and they rely on selenium for good health. They produce: 1. Estrogen which is responsible for the break-down of the uterus wall 2. progesterone which builds up and maintains the uterus wall for embedding of fertilized egg and is also associated with body hair, breast enlargement, and physical changes in the body J. The testes: They’re located outside the pelvic cavity and produce testosterone which is responsible for the development and function of male sex organs and is associated with body hair, muscle development, and voice change. They rely heavily on selenium for good health. K. The prostate: It’s about the size of a walnut located between the bladder and the penis. It produces prostate-specific antigen (PSA) which help keep the sperm in liquid form. The prostate relies on zinc for good health. 4. People with different endocrine issues carry weight on specific parts of the body A. If someone has adrenal gland problems through prolonged stress, cortisol is released and stores fat around the most vital organs which are in your midsection. Thus, a person with adrenal issues will carry more weight around their midsection. B. People with thyroid issues tend to carry weight all over since the thyroid controls the metabolism in all of your cells. C. For people with problems with their ovaries, they will tend to carry extra weight around their hips and lower stomach area. D. If a person has liver problems, they will tend to carry extra weight around their body but have thin legs 5. Blood sugar imbalances mess up the entire endocrine system because not only are the pancreas, liver, and adrenal glands all necessary for blood sugar regulation but they are also heavily involved in the endocrine system. Nutritional Pearl for Episode 15: It is very important to make sure blood sugar levels are normalized and under control before addressing any endocrine problem you have because blood sugar imbalances disrupt the entire endocrine system.

16: TRAVELING — Tips, Tricks, And How To Stay Healthy On The Road

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet.  Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine’s training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy’s years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about the importance of sleep in Episode 14. Here’s what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 14: 1. Definition of sleep: a condition of body and mind such as that which typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended. 2. Stages of sleep A. Awake-resting with eyes closed B. Stage 1: transitional sleep, 1. Dreamless sleep 2. Light sleep 3. This stage is often what happens when someone takes a power nap. You can be easily awoken. C. Stage 2: Typical Sleep 1. This is also light sleep. 2. If taking a power nap, this is the stage you want to wake up from. D. Stage 3: beginning of deep sleep 1. This is where physical repair happens and the brain filters data from the day. 2. It’s harder to be awoken from this stage. 3. This is when the body repairs muscles and tissues, stimulates growth and development, boosts immune function, and builds up energy for the next day. E. Stage 4: R.E.M. or Rapid Eye Movement 1. This is where you dream. 2. Mental and emotional clearing happen during this stage 3. Your brain makes connections emotionally and consolidates information to be stored in your long term memory. 4. You usually enter REM sleep after you’ve been asleep for 90 minutes. 5. It’s harder to be awoken from this stage. 6. Each REM stage can last up to one hour. 7. An average adult has 5 to 6 R.E.M. cycles a night. 8. The length of R.E.M. cycles increases as the night progresses. This is why there’s a good chance you’ll awaken from dreaming in the morning. 3. Facts about stages of sleep A. These different stages last different amounts of time depending on age. B. Sleep happens cyclically starting with stage 1 going through stage 4 (REM) and back to 1. C. A complete sleep cycle can take 90 to 110 minutes with each stage lasting from 5-15 minutes (with the exception of R.E.M). D. We need 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Some people on a ketogenic lifestyle have reported needed less sleep. 4. Benefits of sleeping A. Improves memory-strengthens memories and you can practice skills learned while awake (this is called consolidation) B. Helps reduce inflammation-people who get more sleep have less inflammatory proteins (C-Reactive proteins) floating in their blood than those who get less sleep. These inflammatory proteins lead to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions C. Helps weight maintenance or weight loss (helps prevent cravings) 1. Blood sugars tend to be higher if you get less sleep. 2. Cortisol is also higher in those who get less sleep. 3. Insulin, a fat storing hormone, tends to be higher in those who get less sleep. D. Helps prevent depression 1. Our ability to regulate emotions decreases after a poor night’s sleep. 2. We are in need of social interactions so if you get a poor night’s sleep, you are more likely to cancel social events because of being tired. 3. The Amygdala, an almond shaped area of the brain, plays an important role in our emotions and anxiety levels. People with less sleep showed a higher amygdala response, leading to less control over emotions and greater anxiety levels. E. Helps with the detoxification process. We are in a parasympathetic state when sleeping and detoxification is a parasympathetic process. Our bodies detoxify when we sleep. 5. Things we can do to get more sleep A. Limit exposure to “blue light” at night. Use blue blocker glasses and/or use the “Night Shift” on devices. You can also get orange or red bulbs to put in your lamps at night. B. Expose your eyes to sunlight early in the day and turn down house lighting at night. This helps to establish your circadian rhythm by producing the proper hormones at the right time (melatonin for sleep, and cortisol for waking up) C. Don’t eat to soon before going to bed. Eating too close to bedtime can keep you awake at night. The body has to spend it’s energy on digesting the food you ate rather than detoxifying so your body doesn’t heal properly. The digestion of food can keep you from getting to sleep. D. Don’t exercise too soon before going to bed. Exercise increases stress in the body (raises cortisol) and the elevation of cortisol can keep you from getting to sleep in a timely manner. E. Take a warm shower or bath using lavender. I have found that taking a warm shower helps me relax. We all are different, though. F. Take melatonin or magnesium. 1. If using melatonin, only take it 2 to 3 times a week. If you take it too much, your body can “forget” how to make it’s own. The liquid form of melatonin is best. When I take it, I usually take 10mg with the dropper. Everybody’s needs are different. You may find you don’t need that much. 2. If taking magnesium, take Magnesium Glycinate. Magnesium Citrate can cause diarrhea G. Limit the amount of scary or action filled tv right before going to bed. This can raise cortisol which will make it harder for you to get to sleep. Nutritional Pearl for Episode 14: Sleep affects so many aspects of how our body functions. It’s important to make sure we are doing all we can to get adequate sleep.   BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER  Sign up for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship YOUR NEW KETO DIET ALLY NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship  LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 14 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Complete nutriton for nutritional ketosis (COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner – NutritionalTherapy.com

Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about vitamins in Episode 12. Here’s what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 13: 1. Microbial cells outnumber our human cells 10 to 1. 2. We have 2 to 4 pounds of microbes living in us 3. Microbiota refers to everything that lives in the gut tube. These can be beneficial or harmful A. Beneficial microbes-most fall within these two categories: 1. Lactobacillus 2. Bifidobacterium B. Harmful microbes 1. Parasites 2. Yeast 3. Fungus 4. Viruses 4. Everyone has a different composition of gut bugs-these compositions in each person can change due to age, diet, or geography. There are 2 different kinds of microbes: Transient and Native A. Transient Microbes-Most common strains are from lacto and bifido species-these are the main ones used to create probiotic supplements and cultured foods. Lactobaccilus Acidophilus is the most common and versatile probiotics. 1. They come into the body to do their work then leave through the stool-very transient. 2. They work with other microbes that are native in nature. 3. We acquire these transient microbes from dietary sources B. Native microbes-bactoroids, bacillus, Streptomyces 1. Enter our bodies through the air, soil and water supply (environmental sources) 2. These buggers are more resistant to stomach pH and more resilient to antibiotics 3. These native microbes have anti-fungi, anti-parasitic, and anti-viral properties 5. Things that can go wrong when we don’t have a population of good gut microbes A. Excess bloating B. Chronic ear infection C. Yeast infections D. Diarrhea E. Constipation F. Flatulence G. Nail fungus H. Hormonal imbalances I. Eczema J. Acne 6. We need good gut microbes to: 1. Help protect the intestinal wall 2. Produce vitamin K2, and three B vitamins, B1 or Thiamine, B2 or Riboflavin, and B12 or cobalamin 3. Absorb nutrients 4. Help digest foods 5. Balance intestinal pH 6. Fight harmful microbes 7. Help improve bowel transit time 8. Have good mental health-90% of the body’s serotonin is produced in the intestines 7. There are many things that can permanently affect the composition of our microbiome: A. Stress B. Diet high in sugar and refined carbs C. Contraceptives D. Vaccinations E. Overuse of antibiotics or other prescription drugs 8. Food sources of probiotics A. kombucha (fermented tea) B. Kefir (fermented milk) C. Sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) D. Pickles (fermented cucumbers) E. Kimchi (Korean dish using fermented vegetables, spices and seasonings) F. Full fat raw dairy, especially goat’s and sheep’s milk like milk, cheese and yogurt G. If you want to do a plant-based ketogenic diet: 1. Tempeh (fermented soybeans) 2. Miso (fermented soybean, barley, or brown rice with koji which is a fungus) 3. Natto (Japanese dish with fermented soybeans) Nutritional Pearl for Episode 13: We need to make sure our gut health stays as healthy as possible so we can have good digestive function, a healthy immune system, and good mental health.

Dysfunction in the brain: Sympathetic State—doing other activities or being stressed while eating –– B. Dysfunction in the mouth: Not chewing food thoroughly (for about 30 seconds); signal not received from the brain to have the mouth release salivary amylase. –– C. Dysfunction in the stomach: Not having enough stomach acid. 90% of Americans don’t produce enough stomach acid (Jonathon Wright, MD came up with this using the Heidelberg Gastrotelemetry equipment to check the stomach pH on thousands of patients AND Dr. George Goodhart, a chiropractor, came to the same conclusion using kinesiological and functional assessment). ––– 1. Food, especially protein doesn’t get broken down ––– 2. Allows foreign invaders to pass through to the rest of the digesting system. Helicobacter (H) Pylori (stomach ulcers caused by bacteria) happens because of inadequate stomach acid ––– 3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) actually happens because of too little stomach acid. Poorly digested foods cause a back-up in the esophagus oftentimes because the cardiac sphincter is weak. Since the acid content is higher in the stomach, the back flow burns the esophagus. ––– 4. If stomach pH is not right, the pyloric sphincter won’t release the stomach contents into the duodenum Remember: Carbs ferment, proteins putrefy and fats rancidify –– D. Dysfunction in the Pancreas: If pH of chime (digested food) is not correct, Secretin won’t be released to trigger the pancreatic juices needed to further break down food. –– E. Dysfunction in the Gallbladder: If pH of chime is not correct, then CCK won’t be released to trigger bile to digest the fats we eat. –– F. Dysfunction in the small intestine: Undigested foods will cause gut flora to become imbalanced and it will also cause irritation to the intestinal lining causing increased permeability leading to Leaky Gut and therefore, autoimmune conditions. –– G. Dysfunction in the large intestine: Undigested food can clog the ileocecal valve (valve leading from the small intestine to the large intestine) Undigested food can cause inflammation leading to colitis, irritable bowl syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, Celiac Disease Nutritional Pearls For Episode 10: 1. Being in a parasympathetic state when eating is very important . 2. Proper stomach acid is imperative.

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet.  Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine’s training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy’s years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about carbohydrates in Episode 9.   Here’s what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 9: 1. Review of Nutrient Classes: A. Water B. Macronutrients 1. Proteins=18% of the body 2. Fats=15% of the body 3. Carbohydrates=2% of the body C. Micronutrients 1. Minerals=4% of the body 2. Vitamins=1% of the body 2. Facts about carbohydrates A. All green plants produce carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are starch and sugar. Carbohydrates are made of three elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. B. There are 2 classifications of carbohydrates: complex (starches) and simple (sugars) C. The sugars that make up carbohydrates come in many different forms: 1. Monosaccharides: most basic form of sugar; They cannot be broken down into more simple parts; They are soluble in water. 2. Disaccharides: sugars that contain 2 monosaccharide residues. It is also called a double sugar. These are also soluble in water. 3. Oligosaccharides: contain 2 to 6, rarely 10 monosaccharides. They can have many functions like cell recognition and cell binding. They can play an important role in the immune response. These are soluble in water and they are sweet to the taste. 4. Polysaccharides: like starch are composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. These are complex carbohydrate that get broken down in the mouth and the small intestine into simple sugars. The solubility of these varies. Some are not soluble in water. (cellulose). Some are only soluble in hot water (starch). Some are readily soluble in cold water (pullulan). Some can be sweet to the taste like sweet potatoes, but a lot them are not sweet to the taste like regular potatoes, rice, legumes, and lentils. How Carbohydrates Are Broken Down Sugars Larger Carbohydrates Monosaccharides Disaccharides Oligosaccharides Polysaccharides Fructose (fruit sugar) Sucrose Inulin Starch Glucose Lactose Dextrin Galactose Maltose Cellulose Pectin Glycogen D. You do not need to consume sugars in order to make them. Gluconeogeneisis. E. When carbohydrates go through the refining process, they are stripped of their nutrients. F. Eating excess refined carbohydrates and sugar can lead to nutrient deficiencies because excess consumption of these can pull nutrients out of the bones and the rest of the body. G. Carbohydrates, in the right forms like berries (in small amount with some type of fat added to it), leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables (those we eat on a ketogenic diet), do have beneficial uses in the body. 1. Carbohydrates provide a quick fuel source for the brain and proved a quick energy source for muscles. 2. Carbohydrates help regulate the fat and protein you eat. 3. A lot of carbohydrates, especially leafy greens, provide a source of fiber which helps keep our bowels moving regularly. 4. Carbohydrates help by lubricating joints. 3. Sources of Carbohydrates A. The first kind of carbohydrate you should be eating is from leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables. Try to eat as many colors as possible and in season. Our bodies weren’t made to have every vegetable or fruit all year round. Try to incorporate raw vegetables. B. Next, eat whole fruits. Don’t do fruit juices as they are higher in sugar and you lose the fiber from the fruit when you just drink the juice. Stick to the low sugar fruits like berries and eat them in season. C. On a ketogenic diet, you can have squash, but make sure it’s the less starchy ones like zucchini and yellow squash. You can even have spaghetti squash, but maybe not as often. Butternut squash and acorn squash tend to be a little higher in starch. For those who are not eating a ketogenic diet, you can add sweet potatoes in on occasion as well as yams, plantains, parsnips, pumpkin, and others.

25: The Importance Of Gratitude In A Healthy Lifestyle

We’re back today with another episode of The Nutritional Pearls Podcast focussing this week on the topic of dealing with the challenges that arise from not having a gallbladder.      This week we're talking about a subject that is on a lot of people's minds, and a question that we get a lot. If you have had surgery to remove your gallbladder, can you still eat the healthy fats that we know make up a considerable portion of a healthy diet. We begin by Christine breaking down the role the gallbladder plays and what function it serves. Jimmy and Christine delve into the foods and supplements that will help to process fats properly and still enjoy your ketogenic lifestyle, even without your gallbladder.    BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER   NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship  LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 20 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR:  –

20: The Dietary Challenges (And How To Overcome Them) Of Not Having A Gallbladder

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet.  Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine’s training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy’s years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about protein in Episode 8. Here’s what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 8: 1. Review of Nutrient Classes: A. Water B. Macronutrients 1. Proteins=18% of the body 2. Fats=15% of the body 3. Carbohydrates=2% of the body C. Micronutrients 1. Minerals=4% of the body 2. Vitamins=1% of the body 2. Facts about proteins A. They make up about 18% of the body B. They are the building blocks of our body C. The human body uses about 50,000 different proteins to form 4 different things: 1. Nerves 2. Muscles 3. Organs 4. Flesh D. Some proteins have specialized functions like 1. Enzymes which help with all biochemical processes 2. Some proteins are antibodies. Antibodies help to fight infection and destroy foreign invaders that get into the body. E. Proteins are essential for normal growth. F. The help form hormones which help with regulation of metabolism and plays a role in just about every important function of the body. G. Some are hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains red bloods cells which help deliver oxygen throughout the body. H. Proteins are needed for the blood to clot. I. Proteins even help control the pH of the tissues and blood J. Animal proteins are our only source of COMPLETE proteins. Proteins from animals contain all of the essential amino acids needed PLUS many that are nonessential, meaning the body can make those. Vegetables only contain incomplete proteins, meaning they do not have all the essential proteins our bodies need. The 2 best sources of vegetable proteins are legumes and cereal grains, neither of which we consume on a ketogenic diet. K. Proteins cannot be properly utilized without sources of animal fat. This is why you see protein AND fat in eggs, milk, fish, and meats. L. Our ancestors ate mostly meat (nose to tail) and SUPPLEMENTED their diets with vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. 1. Our best source of zinc is from animal products 2. Usable vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products M. A high protein, low fat diet can cause problems 1. Causes too rapid of growth 2. Causes depletion of vitamin A and vitamin D and some minerals, too. N. Red meat contains cysteine which is essential for a healthy immune system. O. The sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine is also needed for making glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage. P. Those 50,000 proteins combine to make 22 different amino acids and the amino acids are broken down into 4 different classes of amino acids 1. 10 Essential-the body can’t make these so we have to get them from outside sources. 2. 10 Nonessential-the body can make these. 3. 7 Conditional-the body can usually make these under normal circumstances, but a sickness or stress might cause the body to not be able to make them. 4. 2 Nonstandard-these are not found in the human body but in a gutless marine worm List of Amino Acids 1. Essential Amino Acids 2. Nonessential Amino Acids 3. Other Amino Acids A. Isoleucine A. Alanine A. Carnitine B. Leucine B. Asparagine B. Citrulline C. Lysine C. Aspartic Acid C. Gamma-aminobutyric acid D. Methionine D. Cysteine D. Glutathione E. Phenylalanine E. Glutamine E. Ornithine F. Threonine F. Glutamic Acid F. Taurine G. Tryptophan G. Glycine G. Cystine H. Valine H. Proline I. Histidine I. Serine J. Arginine J. Tyrosine-thyroid function Q. Roles of amino acids 1. Forming proteins 2. Helping with neurotransmitter production 3. Muscle production 4. Hormone production 5. RNA and DNA regulation. 3. Sources Of Protein 1. Fish and seafood that is wild caught. These should be mainly smaller fish to help prevent exposure to heavy metals 2. Beef, lamb, buffalo, elk, goat, and more that is organic and 100% grass fed and grass finished 3. Poultry like chicken, turkey, and duck that is also organic and 100% pasture raised, and eggs 4. Dairy products from animals that are 100% pasture raised and organic. These include full fat cheeses, full fat cottage cheese, full fat raw milk and cream, full fat yogurt and full fat, grass fed butter. 5. Nuts and seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, pili nuts, and pistachio nuts that have been soaked and sprouted Note: These Amino Acids are not used as building blocks within the body but are still important. 4. Nonstandard Amino Acids (Not found in the human body) A. Selenocysteine-discovered in 1986 B. Pyrrolysine-discovered in 2002 (found in a gutless marine worm) Nutritional Pearl for Episode 8: Protein is essential in the right kind and the proper amounts.
