Sugar Addiction -riding the rollercoaster
Unfortunately the association of adrenal fatigue and type 2 sugar addiction is more common than we know. One of the key components of adrenal fatigue is a plummeting sugar level in your blood stream. This takes your sugar cravings and drives it to another level of severity. It makes you irritable, and your need to eat is urgent…and it is usually something really sweet that finds its way into your mouth. Now when you do satisfy you’re craving for sweets, your blood sugar level skyrockets again, making more insulin which then causes your sugar to plummet again. It is a nasty cycle of cravings, euphoria, and a crash to the ground. This emotional rollercoaster will take control of your life….if you let it. Just think about STOP-IT, the new sugar craving blocker, as a means of assisting you in fighting this battle for control of your body.

The diet that supports this tragic rollercoaster ride is called the Low-Fat Heart Healthy Diet! What? I thought that was good for your heart? It isn’t…..it has caused an epidemic of diabetes and obesity as well as the army of sugar addicts we are now faced with. Try a low carbohydrate diet, and it will reduce inflammation, triglycerides, cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. Dr. Atkins was correct. Try today to keep your carbohydrate intake below 20 grams/day for the next week, and then increase to 3o grams/day. Stay away from the pastas, breads, potatoes, and candy! It sounds really difficult, but it will be the best thing you ever did. Fat and cholesterol does not cause heart disease, but inflammation does. And high sugar diet causes incredible inflammatory changes within our body.

Sugar Addiction and Sress-It's making you fat
So we talked a little about the type 1 sugar addicts who are hooked on energy drinks and caffeine. How about the Type 2 sugar addicts? This person‘s life is always in crisis. It seems like you are always reacting to your challenges. But how can you prepare for anything because you are always putting out fires? These patients seem to be women, moms with all the household duties, as well as a full time job. Now you have three full time jobs, home, children and your profession, and you have to also be a wife in there somewhere or deal with an emotional relationship. But your testosterone levels are plummeting with stress and you no longer think about romance. And that’s even more stress!
You are stressed out and always running either to swim practice, running your house or your office. Your adrenals help you for a while; unfortunately this exhausting lifestyle takes its toll. Ahhh sugar, or those comfort foods. They give you the boost you need, but inside of your body your adrenals are in maximum overload, and they will give out. The type 2 sugar addict finds that it is getting more difficult to fit into her clothes and that is because the adrenals and the sugar boosts cause your adrenals to work overtime with even higher cortisol levels. Your insulin levels then spike and sugar in the blood stream becomes fat in your belly. It’s your body’s way of surviving the anticipated stress. Studies have shown, women in adrenal fatigue will gain an average of over 30 lbs. Does this sound like any one you know? More to come…..

THE AMAZING VITAMIN D...JUST THE FACTS
Please check out all the amazing benefits of Vitamin D in this linked video. Even in Florida we don't get enough because we wear sunscreen all the time, that blocks all of the Vitamin D production. In the winter we did a study on women 30-65 years of age and 92 % of the women were below the lowest normal range of vitamin D, essentially Vitamin D deficient. When Vitamin D protects from Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes,Autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis,the common cold as well as upper respiratory infections so prevalent in the winter months, we would be better off if we kept our Vitamin D levels. Doesn't that make sense? And it is so inexpensive...not cheap!

ARE YOU A SUGAR ADDICT?
ARE YOU A SUGAR ADDICT?
ARE YOU A SUGAR ADDICT?
Robert Carlson, MD, FACS
Essentially there are four different types of sugar addictions as described by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum. I would like to use his categories but make some changes on management and descriptions.
The first group is the Type 1 sugar addicts. Do you fit into this group? This group is addicted to energy drinks and coffee, or even soft drinks laced with caffeine. Sugar and caffeine are the mainstays for this Type 1 addict. Here is the problem however. You start feeling exhausted and need a little “buzz”, turning for your favorite energy drink with it’s empty calories and skyrocketing blood sugar levels. Think about this. We normally have only about one cup of sugar circulating through our entire body via our blood stream. These drinks often provide up to 10 cups of sugar immediately dumped into your system.
This immediate rush is obviously satisfying but the plunge one to three hours later caused by spiking insulin levels pushing the sugar into our cells and driving the blood glucose level to bottom of the barrel. And that’s how you feel, until you get another slug of sugar or caffeine. It is a vicious cycle. Let me tell you how to break this sugar addiction…..just say STOP-IT and press the button below to learn more about how you can STOP the sugar addiction!

DHA - The Importance of Omega 3
DHA - The Importance of Omega 3
A video on Omega 3 fatty acids.
Robert G Carlson, MD, FACS
DHA is a major structural and functional component of our central nervous system, accounting for over 30 % of the total fatty acid content of the human brain. It is essential for the growth and development of brain tissues in infants and children. In adults, it helps assist in supporting normal brain function, including memory and, learning. Horrocks in 1999 described the associated increase risk of Alzheimer’s disease in patients with low DHA levels. In concert with phosphatidylserine, researchers at the NIH revealed that DHA supports energy production in brain cells, and is critical in healthy brain function.
A large number of studies have shown that omega-3 oils can improve brain function, decrease inflammation, reduce the incidence of lethal heart attacks and ischemic strokes,, improve the outcome of autoimmune diseases, and improve vision, reducing the development of macular degeneration.

Reasons not to take Lipitor,Crestor,Vytorin, besides making healthy people patients and unnecessarily increasing your insurance premiums
Reasons not to take Lipitor,Crestor,Vytorin, besides making healthy people patients and unnecessarily increasing your insurance premiums
The controversy involves this question: which people without evident
occlusive vascular disease (true primary prevention) should be offered
statins? The authors note that in formulating recommendations for primary
prevention, the authors of the guidelines did not rely on the data that
already exist from the primary prevention trials. Indeed, the authors note
that the guidelines cite seven and nine different randomized trials, in support of
statin therapy for the primary prevention of this disease in women and
people aged over 65 years. Yet NOT ONE of the studies provides such evidence!!!
Why do you think they recommended using statins? Just follow the money….
32 billion dollars made selling/pushing statin drugs on unsuspecting healthy people.
Furthermore, they note: "the absolute risk reduction of 1.5% is small and
means that 67 people have to be treated for 5 years continuously to prevent one such event. That’s certainly a lot different than being told by your doctor that if you don’t take the Statin drug (Lipitor, Crestor, Vytorin, etc) you will have a heart attack or stroke. It’s just not true.
Statins did not reduce total coronary heart disease events in 10,990 women
in these primary prevention trials!!
Similarly, in 3,239 men and women older than 69 years, statins did not
reduce total cardiovascular events!
A Harvard physician cited that: "Our analysis suggests that lipid-lowering statins should not be prescribed for true primary prevention in women of any age or for men older than 69 years. High-risk men aged 30-69 years should be advised that about 50 patients need to be treated for 5 years to prevent one event."
This is the real data and make sure your doctor who is demanding you take a statin (lipitor,pravachol,crestor etc) knows about this.
