With Your Body That Is."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

You\u2019ll often hear me say, \u201cthe better you <\/em>understand <\/em><\/strong>your body, the better you can<\/em> care for <\/em><\/strong>it.\u201d<\/em>  There\u2019s a lot of truth to that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a hippie <\/strong>at heart.  Not so much the psychedelics and \u201cfree love<\/strong>\u201d kind of hippie, though I can\u2019t definitively say I wouldn\u2019t have partaken <\/strong>had I been part of the original movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a modern hippie (of sorts), I often take a basic understanding of biology <\/strong>for granted.  The cycle of life <\/strong>and all things that comprise living beings is something I\u2019m deeply attuned to<\/strong>, and I often forget to return to the foundations when sharing my work with the world.  I aim to rectify some of that oversight <\/strong>here today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such foundation is the basics of how our body works<\/strong>.  Fact is that most people don\u2019t know how<\/strong> their body works, resulting in their having more of a \u201cMe versus It<\/strong>\u201d viewpoint which injects one into a lose-lose tug-of-war<\/strong> that lasts a lifetime.  And creates an epic level of fallout along the way.  More often than not, people think it is an \u201ceither \/ or<\/strong>\u201d conversation when in fact it is a \u201cboth \/ and<\/strong>\u201d one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are countless things at work every single second in the human body.  Awake or asleep, the operating system is a flurry of activity<\/strong>.  Much of which we cannot control in any way, shape or form.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where knowing <\/strong>what to focus <\/strong>on and why, takes its place at the top of the priorities\u2019 list as a critical factor to finding a sense of peace within<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing we have 100% control over<\/strong> when it comes to our body is our metabolism<\/strong>.  Well, close to 100% is more like it.  Now that I think about it, control <\/strong>may be too strong a term.  Let\u2019s go with influence <\/strong>and call it good.  Deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people don\u2019t know what their metabolism really is and all that it does, let alone the fact that they can control more than they can\u2019t <\/strong>when it comes to how their body is fueled.  Your metabolism is in charge of so much more than just your weight.  In fact, your metabolism runs the Big Show<\/strong>.  Nonetheless, the happenings at work behind the metabolic curtain<\/strong> are a mystery to most.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add murkiness to the confusion surrounding all things metabolism, Conventional Wisdom<\/strong> has had it wrong for so long.  It\u2019s no wonder there\u2019s so much head-scratching surrounding the topic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I say \u201cmetabolism\u201d, what comes to mind?  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like most folks who answer that question, you thought of something to do with your weight<\/strong>, and how to \u201close\u201d it<\/strong>. Weight loss, fat loss more accurately, is just one part of the metabolic puzzle<\/strong>.  And a teensy one at that.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to fat loss, we\u2019ve had it all wrong<\/strong>.  Not by choice, we\u2019ve done what the so-called \u201cexperts\u201d told us to do.  And it does not work<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice <\/strong>like: <\/p>

\u201cEat less, move more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u201cEat every 2-3 hours to stoke the metabolism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u201cBurn more calories than you take in.\u201d <\/em> (That has some truth to it, but it\u2019s not a simple math equation like you are led to believe.)<\/p>

And here\u2019s another oldie but goodie,  \u201cAvoid cholesterol and saturated fat. They clog your arteries.\u201d<\/em> (This one has NO truth to it.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now if you took Conventional Wisdom at their word, you\u2019d think cholesterol dons a dark cloak and wields a sickle.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, you DO think that?  Please plug into my ecosystem, cholesterol is your ally not your enemy my friend.  We have so much to talk about!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All in all, we\u2019ve been hoodwinked by Big Food<\/strong> and their marketing guns-for-hire<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to peel back the metabolic curtain<\/strong> and shine light on some of the basics to help you make 2022 the year you END the war with your body <\/strong>and how it relates to gravity. In other words the number on the scale, or your \u201cweight\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does that sound?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more diet rollercoaster<\/strong>.  No more deprivation<\/strong>.  No more negative body image<\/strong>. (It saddens me to think of the time and energy I\u2019ve wasted on that one.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip\u2026Yes <\/em>to MORE food freedom<\/strong>.  Yes <\/em>to MORE enjoyment <\/strong>from food and social gatherings.  And a resounding YES <\/em>to MORE self-love and radical self-acceptance<\/strong>.  You deserve to be loved<\/strong>, first and foremost by you<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though I missed out on another facet of the 60\u2019s social movements, the Bra Burning Era<\/strong>, I\u2019m all about starting a Scale Burning movement<\/strong>.  Now, to be more environmentally conscious, let\u2019s repurpose them <\/strong>somehow.  Any ideas?  I\u2019m all ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those buggers have done more damage <\/strong>than good.  I\u2019ll share my insights as to why as we continue the metabolism conversation.  For now, please know that your weight <\/strong>is not the measurement to focus on. What you\u2019re made of<\/strong> is.  In science speak, the term is body composition<\/strong>.  The proportion of lean mass, bone mass, fat mass and water are the items we\u2019ll focus on the most.  Each of those items contribute to the number on the scale.  The number in and of itself tells you nothing about the proportion <\/strong>of each.  Your 160 and mine will most likely look and feel very different<\/strong>.  The amount of space they each take up varies as well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In everything I share, I aim to demystify <\/strong>the human\u2019s metabolism and introduce you to tools to help you upgrade your metabolism<\/strong> with real food.  No pills, powders, potions nor tinctures on the menu!  Seriously, no overpriced supplements required<\/strong>. What. So. Ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now let me say something here; it is important to point this detail out.  The end goal is not skinny <\/strong>in my book.  The end goal is metabolic health<\/strong>.  Plug into my ecosystem to learn what that is and how you can attain and maintain<\/strong> it for yourself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We come in all shapes and sizes, as determined by our genetics<\/strong>.  Just as whether we have curly hair or straight.  Where our body puts our body fat is written in the code, the DNA code<\/strong> that is.  For instance, I will never be skinny.  I will always have hips and a booty.  Unless I am ill.  I have never and will never wish to \u201cbe skinny\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others can\u2019t put on<\/strong> body fat or much muscle, for the life of them.  That is written in their code.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have a unique(-ish) propensity <\/strong>for storing excess energy.  Society has just told us one is \u201cideal\u201d and sought after, while the other indicates something is \u201cwrong\u201d with us<\/strong>.  (I\u2019m seriously resisting a tangent discussion.  I\u2019ll come back to this topic in the not too distant future.  Promise!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your DNA <\/strong>controls what shape <\/strong>your body will be.  Your hormones <\/strong>decide just how much of \u201cyou\u201d<\/strong> there is, and where you\u2019ll pack on muscle or fat given their building blocks are present.  And lastly, what you eat and when<\/strong> determines which hormones and building blocks <\/strong>are on the job site for which the blueprint is your DNA.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note on the \u201cDNA Determines All\u201d rumor <\/strong>that is going on.  I hear some version of this every single day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Doc, it\u2019s <\/em>in my genes<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d   <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Yes.  And no.  You have the genetic make-up <\/strong>for a specific trait to be expressed, that is true.  You may even inherit a specific behavior <\/strong>(a response or a reaction) to a certain substance or experience, also true.  This particular experience or reaction to something may well have meant the difference between survival <\/strong>of your ancestor and <\/strong>their death <\/strong>(think inherent fear of venomous snakes<\/strong>).  The \u201chere Snakey, Snakey\u201d approach may have put the kibosh on <\/strong>that curious human\u2019s gene line from being passed on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All too often when someone tries to hand me the \u201cin my genes\u201d line, they are trying to tell me that since their family members carry excess body fat, or have \u201cbad joints\u201d, or possess a \u201cweakness\u201d for some non-nutritive substance (AKA they have \u201ca sweet tooth\u201d), they\u2019re somehow destined to experience the same fate<\/strong>, *cue the dramatic music*, \u201cno matter what (they) do\u201d.  They want to recruit me<\/strong> to cheer for \u201cTeam Helpless<\/strong>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

***B.S. Flag on the play, Ref.***<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s my response<\/strong> to any such statement inferring we are helpless in taking optimal care of our bodies.  Here\u2019s why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a super cool thing that\u2019s been proven scientific fact<\/strong> when it comes to refuting this baseless argument.  That fact is that what you do and don\u2019t do<\/strong> directly flips the genetic switch (think circuit breaker) from OFF to ON.  And vice versa.  The super cool thing is the study of epigenetics*<\/strong>.  Which is basically giving lifestyle <\/strong>it\u2019s true credit as an determinant of what genes get expressed.  Look into it a bit, you\u2019ll be even more impressed with how phenomenal your human body is.  I grow more enamored on the daily!  Serious love affair in action here.<\/strong>  Hearts and rainbows abound.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is right about when I turn to another favorite saying, and a nod to the late Stan Lee<\/strong>, \u201dWith great power comes great responsibility.\u201d  This saying has a more deeply rooted origin, but Stan said it best through his character Ben Parker in Spiderman<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When applied to the body it is better stated as \u201cnow that you know, what will you do differently.\u201d  If you keep going about \u201cbusiness as usual<\/strong>\u201d yet know a better way, that is the antithesis <\/strong>to \u201cignorance is bliss\u201d.  Knowing better and not behaving better has the exact opposite effect on the human psyche to bliss<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let the record reflect<\/strong> the following opinion of yours truly, \u201cWe can be metabolically healthy in every single shape and size, to a certain extent.\u201d That extent is based upon what is happening at the cellular level<\/strong>.  When you\u2019re healthy metabolically, you are headed toward a long and vibrant life.  And just to be sure we\u2019re on the same page<\/strong>, isn\u2019t THAT is the end goal?  A long and vibrant life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, cool.  *Check* <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re just looking for skinny, I\u2019m not your metabolism maven<\/strong>.  But please do stick with me, maybe you\u2019ll change your focus.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metabolic health <\/strong>comes down to healing our cells.   When our cells are sick, we are sick<\/strong>.  And very often carrying excess body fat<\/strong>.   It\u2019s just how our metabolism works.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For simplicity’s sake, because it is quite complex, we will define metabolism <\/strong>as everything <\/strong>that happens in the cell ultimately producing energy<\/strong>. When your cells are producing adequate energy, you feel incredible and you don\u2019t hold on to excess body fat, ergo weight.  It\u2019s that simple.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment cells get sick<\/strong>, or start preventing the good stuff from getting in and the bad stuff from getting out, your energy tanks and you feel like junk<\/strong>.  And you\u2019ll hold on to weight in the form of body fat and often water<\/strong>.  Nothing will make a lasting difference until you make the cells functional again.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line: <\/strong>Until you make the cells functional, you will not \u201close weight\u201d, more accurately fat.  Side note #2: <\/strong>Can we agree that when we see any reference to \u201closing weight\u201d, we both understand the desired outcome is loss of excess body fat<\/em><\/strong>?  That way I can stop adding my disclaimers <\/strong>and using air-quotes<\/strong>.  Please?  And thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear some version of the following often, \u201dI\u2019m doing everything right, but the scale isn\u2019t budging<\/strong>!\u201d  Or \u201cmy metabolism has slowed to a snail\u2019s pace <\/strong>and no matter what I do, it won\u2019t kick in.\u201d   More \u201cMe versus It\u201d thinking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If one or the other has passed your lips, I hear you.  And, sorry to say, I\u2019ve got some downer news<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No diet will make a difference<\/strong> until you heal your cells.  Not Vegan, not Keto, not Paleo, not Mediterranean\u2026and certainly not the heavily-processed meal replacement shake\/bar abominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to \u201cspeed up\u201d the metabolism, you must heal your cells<\/strong>.  Like just about everything in life, it is easier to do something when we understand what is at work behind the scenes.  In other words, \u201cthe better you understand <\/strong>your body, the better you can care for<\/strong> it\u201d.  Which is where we started this conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see so much confusion <\/strong>when it comes to our metabolism<\/strong>.  What it is.  What it does.  How we can \u201cspeed it up<\/strong>\u201d, as if it\u2019s some magical setting on the human body<\/strong>. (It\u2019s not.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I\u2019m no Debbie Downer, here\u2019s some good news<\/strong>.  You can heal your cells, and quite simply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve boiled down the basics<\/strong> to help you understand just what the metabolism is and how to make it work <\/strong>for <\/em><\/strong>you, instead of against<\/strong>.  At the very least you\u2019ll walk away with a better understanding of how you work on the inside.  And some simple things you can do to help your metabolism do its job so you focus on other things in life than your weight<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I get an Amen <\/strong>from the congregation?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of wasted time<\/strong> we have lost to the war with our body<\/strong> is heartbreaking<\/strong>.  And if you\u2019ve reached the midlife <\/strong>milestone, enough is enough!  Though you cannot get back any of that time wasted, you can put an end to the lose-lose situation<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First let\u2019s address what is at work when referring to the metabolism<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We already agreed upon the definition<\/strong>, now let\u2019s explore why <\/strong>we get fat?  And why <\/strong>fat accumulates in certain areas and not others?  Ooh boy\u2026again, this could be a rabbit hole<\/strong> for yours truly!  I will stick to the basics, but note: my inner geek girl wants to go hunting for wabbit<\/strong>!  I won\u2019t let her.  I\u2019m sticking to the topic at hand! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We accumulate <\/strong>fat because our biochemistry is out of whack<\/strong>.  There are many, many, many factors at work, but it boils down to how the body is responding to glucose <\/strong>and insulin<\/strong>, and leptin<\/strong>.  And inflammation<\/strong>.  And a buildup of metabolic waste<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding additional body fat is the body doing its very best to wall your system off<\/strong> from the toxic <\/strong>build up.  It\u2019s walling it off with fat to protect <\/strong>the brain and other life and death organs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEW!  I\u2019m going to give myself an \u201catta girl\u201d right here.  I think that description was pretty succinct<\/strong>.  Especially when my geek side soooo wanted to strut her stuff<\/strong> on the runway!  Pouty lips<\/strong> and all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it from your body\u2019s perspective<\/strong>, keeping in mind that your body is incredibly intelligent<\/strong>.  When this toxic load is building and building, and building, would it make more sense to put it in your heart and lungs, and the like, or to take those toxins and stash them where they won\u2019t interfere with life and death stuff<\/strong>?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re saying\u2026\u201dOooh, ooh, ooh, Dr. Sam\u2026the <\/em>second one<\/em><\/strong>, the second one!\u201d <\/em> You\u2019re correct.  Gold Star<\/strong> for you!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of that extra weight<\/strong> is these toxins <\/strong>that have accumulated in the receptor sites of your cell, inside the cell, between cells; that\u2019s much of what fat is.  It is a holding tank for the toxins and all their fallout.  It acts as a buffering agent against the toxins<\/strong>.  At least for our purposes in this conversation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to make a point to say, that sometimes the normal, healthy chemicals <\/strong>in our body can be \u201ctoxic\u201d when too plentiful<\/strong>.  Glucose is one said chemical.  At too high a level it is detrimental, ergo toxic.  Same for insulin.  Same for a lot of other things like estrogen <\/strong>when unchecked by progesterone<\/strong>, such as what happens in perimenopause<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By midlife <\/strong>there\u2019s been ample time to amass an appreciable level of these accumulated toxins. Much of which just stays put in the cell. These toxins can compete for receptors<\/strong> that our critical hormones need to do their work. Think insulin receptors and estrogen receptors<\/strong>, as examples.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to those the endocrine disruptors<\/strong> you may have heard of when reading about personal care products<\/strong> like lotions and makeup. Endocrine is science-speak for hormones<\/strong>, which I suppose is science-speak for your body\u2019s internal communications system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to release the weight<\/strong> and speed up your metabolism<\/strong>, you\u2019ve got to clean up<\/strong> your internal environment.  You\u2019ve got to make the cell healthy.  Now FYI, you will not find the solution in a package.  Unless it\u2019s packaged by Mother Nature<\/strong>.  With her is a good place to start.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I want you to look at the human body through this lens.  Your body is a brain-transport system<\/strong>.  It will do ANYTHING it has to do to protect \u201cYOU\/HQ\u201d<\/strong>.  Including make you \u201cfat\u201d.  And it will do it…All. Day. Long. Every. Day.  Until the underlying biochemical toxic dump <\/strong>is cleaned up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single program or course I teach addresses this first. You\u2019ve got to clean the system up in order for the cells to heal and start to drop the fat<\/strong>.  Too many put that ol\u2019 cart before the horse when it comes to \u201cweight loss\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I mentioned as of late that I don\u2019t like the term<\/strong> \u201cweight loss\u201d?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019re nodding an emphatic affirmative.  I know, I know.  I only reiterate <\/strong>to make a point.  Another reason aside from the aforementioned one is that the term \u201cweight loss\u201d is too general<\/strong>. And oh boy, here comes another reason.  When focused on the result, we’re focusing on <\/strong>the wrong part of the equation.  The variables <\/strong>are what we can control, not necessarily the result .  But alas, it\u2019s the lingo people are using, and if I want to make an impact online, I have to at least address it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

***Back to the topic at hand.***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As just mentioned, the main way you know your cells are healthy <\/strong>is if you have great energy<\/strong>.  And not the caffeine-dependent kind.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have the great energy<\/strong> that you should, or once did, it\u2019s one of the first signs something is going on in your cells that is making them sick.  Your body can and does adapt for quite some time.  It is unbelievably resilient.  But when it hits that tipping-point<\/strong> of sorts, it starts to signal there is a problem.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midlife often coincides with that tipping-point.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signals start out somewhat faint, then increase in intensity.  And increase.  And then we have no choice but to take note that we have a problem<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes something like this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BODY<\/strong>: *Taps shoulder* Um hey, I\u2019ve got an issue here Boss.<\/em><\/p>

BRAIN <\/strong>(AKA Boss):  I\u2019m busy now, just take a pill.  <\/em><\/p>

BODY<\/strong>: *Shakes the shoulder* Um Boss, things are getting mucky around here.  Can I get a minute of your focus?  <\/em><\/p>

BRAIN <\/strong>with a rather snarky tone:  Listen, I\u2019ve got too much on my plate right now. This chick is making me crazy with all she\u2019s got me doing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Eventually the shoulder shaking turns into a solid whack from a 2-by-4<\/strong> demanding your attention.  The body has been trying to let you know there\u2019s a problem, but all too often the message has fallen on deaf ears<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to restore your hearing<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m talking about metabolism, I\u2019m talking beyond <\/strong>looking good in your clothes (or naked <\/strong>even).  I\u2019m talking about having limitless energy, I mean energy-on-demand<\/strong>.  To do not only what you need to do, but what you WANT to do!  No prescription required!<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you come at it from a cellular health point-of-view<\/strong>, that will happen.  In just what timeframe, that is impossible to determine.  And I\u2019m sure our microwave society training<\/strong> doesn’t help any of us to develop the patience necessary to give the body ample time <\/strong>to do her healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
