DO YOU NEED CARBS AND FIBER? The answer for this question is more simple than you may think. Do you need carbs to rebuild cells? Do you need carbs to produce hormones? Do you truly need carbs to function? The answer is an astounding NO. Carbs are fuel. Pure and simple!  1g carbohydrate= 4 calories. Therefore, 200g carbs= 800 calories. An intense weight training session requires only 200 total calories. Therefore, where is the other 600 calories going? Add another 50g protein, which is another 200 calories and you just overfilled your gas tank.  Comment below on your thoughts and questions. Be a better version of yourself.

How to cure your acne with nutrition and hormone regulation Intro/ Acne’s effects With Diet 85% of  teenagers have acne A history of moderate to severe acne is highly correlated with increased risk of breast and prostate cancer Hormonal based and TOR It is considered a western disease and is far less and even nonexistent in many countries, especially less industrialised  TOR activity is known to be raised with moderate amounts of dairy and any processed foods Increased TOR is correlated to premature puberty, acne, cancer, expedited cellular aging, diabetes, alzhimer’s and more   Acne and Hormones 70% of all young adults have skin problems during puberty Most times acne significantly improves as an adult, (over 25yrs) but 40% still are affected by it, predominantly women at 85% of them Adult Onset in the “t-zone” of the forehead, nose and chin is a correlated sign of hormone imbalance, usually high testosterone Same with the chin strap During puberty, male and females get a surge in all hormones, including androgens This stimulates sebrum in sebaceous glands, and too much accumulation causes acne Too little causes cracked dry skin, too much can cause a hard plug around follicle to cause acne For men, our hormones typically stabilize after puberty, women is a different story Monthly fluctuations for 20 years, massive changes post menopause, pregnancy causes several more monthly surges.  Earmuff talk for The Mad Scientist;- premenstral acne Women are most likely to get it in the 2nd half of their cycle Progesterone and Oestrogen increase heavily in the first 2 weeks, and then plummet right before…”it” happens and they are at their lowest When they drop, testosterone is actually higher than most female reproductive hormones, sebrum is still high from progesterone boost, and acne is likely Some women find that contraceptives help via SHBG (sex-hormone binding globulin) sponges up testosterone with increases estrogens and decreases sebrum, and acne   The Gut to Skin Axis If  there is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and the gut is inflamed, it rapidly causes systemic inflammation via inflammatory cytokines throughout the body Skin is the largest organ of the body so no wonder it frequently gets attacked  This is leaky gut, what occurs with food sensitivites and allergies that aren’t in check, SAD diet, etc Skin, brain fog, and bloating are the most common symptoms when there is a gut issue, and when it is the primary factor involved, going on a precise healthy lifestyle for the individual typically causes rapid changes in all 3 areas.   Dairy Acne Research showed that dairy and sugar are among the greatest factors associated with acne. In this analysis, more people with acne consume dairy products (48.2%) compared to those who don’t (38.8%). People who regularly eat soda, pastries, chocolates and other sweets were also more likely to suffer from acne There is also all the sugar that is in milk, as well as inflammatory for many people with sensitivities which increases acne chance Acne is mostly a Western civilization disease with 85% of adolescents having it Aside from a random pimple or 2, basically unheard of in eastern cultures, especially those without high glycemic packaged foods and dairy The majority of our milk comes from pregnant cows where their hormones are even higher than normal, but then we add hormones to them to produce even more.  Appears to be a part of hormonal acne. We aren’t cows, and we aren’t meant to be drinking milk from mothers into and beyond our 20’s anyway! Not very natural I don’t drink human milk at this age, nor should we (colostrum is a different topic) but it would still be better as our bodies were made a little Does Chocolate  cause acne? Apparently, yes! A study had capsules of white chocolate, placebo, and pure cocoa powder and acne prone subjects ate 240 of them to act as a “binge” The white chocolate group had the most increases in pimples, white/black heads But cocoa still doubled the acne in 4 days. Some pimple prone may get it from chocolate. Likely to decrease as we age This study however was men only Would there be more or less if the hormonal fluctuating women were tested?- don’t know, but we can argue about it? Previously thought it was just the milk and sugar involved (plays a factor though) Cutting back sugar and processed foods however, helps nearly all acne sensitive individuals due to inflammatory markers within a few months, even with severe acne   Acne and Bacteria Drugs are the go to for the majority still in the wEstern culture, though tides are slowly changing to less invasive and damaging modalities, but are still very rampant.  Antibiotics are still the first line prescribed treatment for acne, even though it’s statistically not as effective as it was a decade ago Due to more acne caused by hormones and diet? Bacteria have evolved to be more drug resistant More people have acne due to non-bacterial causes which will shift the percentage of antibiotic effective treatment Bacteria can cause acne due to having too much “bad” or good bacteria on the skin where they cause a decrease in the breakdown of sebrum, and cause the follicle to become inflamed and create acne Antibiotics though may inversely cause acne and other issues down the road due to killing the gut flora, causing an imbalance, and then return to systemic inflammation Other causes? Over washing your face Just like how over doing hand sanitizer kills the bacteria that creates a protective barrier and can increase the risk of warts This can deplete the protective skin barrier allowing bacteria and blockages of pores and increase acne Skin could then try to overcompensate for depleted oils, and create more which can in turn, lead to more acne   Tea tree oil or Benyzol alcohol These are the 2 most commonly used self care items people try for acne, and for some decent reasons, mostly due to they are the top google findings and searches for it. There was a RCT comparing the 2 In 6 weeks with tea tree oil 40% decrease in white/black heads, 47& drop in pus filled pimples and 40% drop in red and tender acne bumps 3.5x more effective than placebo Helps with the inflammation, but not bactericidal in pimples due to a biofilm protective layer- works in petri dish just fine….  Benzoyl peroxide- most common over the counter method, even with known side effects May cause irritation, red itchy skin, peeling, dryness, or burning Was about 5-15% more effective than Tea Tree oil   Barberry I was asked about this one specifically, so here it is Looks like an elongated cranberry Has berberine in high amounts 43%-45% less pimples and zits in 1 month 2 tablespoons of juice a day   www.Functionised.com IG: @Functionised FB: @Functionised

Many things associated with poor health can be either directly or indirectly linked to our lifestyle habits - the things we do on a day to day basis, the people we interact with, the eating, drinking, and movement habits we form.   Studies have shown that the most effective way to make lasting lifestyle changes is to correctly identify limiting beliefs and assess your existing relationship with the areas in your life (like health) where you could potentially improve.   Our goal is that you will finally have the chance to identify and assess limiting beliefs they have about their health and wellbeing to enable them to make lasting effective change!   www.Functionised.com/hhh.html FB: @Functionised IG: @Functionised

Intro The carnivore diet has been becoming more mainstream as of late and gaining attention over media Some attention has been positive, some negative, and like always with nutrition there is a lot of conflicting evidence. Let’s straighten this out The Keto Project Movie- Phase 3 in full force Dr. Mike is living this lecture with Organic End Grass fed beef to compare to the Burger King burger diet for a month   What is it carnivore diet Potentially a form of a Ketogenic diet Similar to how pescatarian, lacto-ovo, vegan, etc, are all similar sub categories of vegetarian May cancel some out of ketosis if protein is high enough, hence the “potentially a form” of a ketogenic lifestyle The concept is that high enough protein can cause the body to go through gluconeogenesis which will increase  blood sugar levels and potentially negate ketosis Literature is mixed so larger and longer studies required If unsure, cover everything is butter, coconut oil, and cheese to increase the fat to protein ratio to increase ketogenic effects What do people eat? Anything from a meat/animal source Beef, chicken, organ meats, fish, eggs Bone marrow/broth, lard, dairy Inuits are the gold standard example Incredibly low levels of heart, liver, and kidney disease Eats a crapton of blubber and organ meats Higher fat content in meat than many that practice the carnivorous approach What Don’t people eat  I have had this argument before Alcohol, coffee, chocolate What animal does hobbs, rye, coffee beans, and chocolate nibs come from?   Potential benefits from it Weight loss depending on dietary lifestyle prior Higher satiety from high fat and protein so less likely to over indulge Can increase testosterone levels High healthy animal meats, specifically red meat and more on the medium rare side Can increase RBC’s and heme-iron stores for a better cardiovascular system Quality of meat is a huge factor Metabolism may increase by up to 10-20% Protein take more energy to digest and takes more effort to breakdown More thermogenic activity The body gets hotter when doing high metabolic processes; The Meat Sweats It can help blood pressure, glucose regulation, cholesterol levels, and gut flora balances Mild evidence suggests it can increase autophagy if protein is high enough over fat ratios   Why you may not want to do it Majority of lifestyles may not be the best with specific health conditions which is why medical history should always be a part of deciding the best lifestyle for one to follow We know that we can eat up to 4.4g per kg of body weight and cause no short term health issues If your religion is against eating meat If you have a current kidney or liver condition Research have suggested that high protein/meat diets do not cause organ damage but may worsen it if already present It’s like running on a broken leg compared to a healthy leg Running takes a larger toll on the leg than sitting but won’t be an issue if the limb is healthy Wouldn’t recommend jogging if leg has an issue Same with the kidneys, liver, and high protein/meat based lifestyle High protein makes them work a little harder, but the body will handle it fine as long as it’s healthy Gout- Red meat is one of the main things suggested to avoid due to  uric acid build up   Better than vegan?  Depends on the health status and goals of the individual. Oddly easy to compare carnivorous to veganism Polar opposite but similar caveats Both may require specific supplementation  Both heavily differ on effectiveness of a healthy life style depending on what quality of food you intake Vegetarian can eat just cakes and chocolate Carnivore can eat just Burger King Having organ meats, bone broth and marrow, preparing meat in quality oils and not deep frying, etc Organic grass finished will have higher levels of omega 3’s, and more abundant supply of micro nutrients Likely supplementation to assist Bone collagen or bone broth could help keep bacteria at a healthy ration compared to just meat portions of animal products They will have the SCFA (short chain fatty acids) butyrate  Helps protect the intestinal wall for leaky gut prevention and assistance May need to add vitamin c Also will help the iron absorption and avoid scurvy if this life style is done long term Can be found in liver and eggs Organ meats and bone marrow/broth will stop most potential deficiencies Like seaweed for B12 and vegetarian based diets Prebiotic/fiber High protein diet will offset bad bacteria that was acquired through high carbohydrates and process foods Needs prebiotics to feed the good bacteria   www.functionised.com/hhh.html Facebook: @Functionised Instagram: @Functionised

Debate- “Quarantine 15lbs” is “No Big Deal” Intro-  Weight gain during quarantine makes sense, but doesnt mean it should be accepted or not changed “Middle aisles” in grocery stores were empty early on in April 2020 Only 18% went to gyms regularly, defined as 104 days of the year 2x a week, so how much of this weight gain is the gym? Reminder- we don’t need gyms to exercise. Calisthenics, tennis, parks, biking Eat less if you are less active than previous There has been a lot more stress, depression, and at first there was food scarcity scares Gyms closed, and many still are Term is “quarantine 15”, but we don’t know what the averages is, just that our weight and waist line is going up   Full show notes can be found at Functionised.com/hhh.html   Facebook: @Functionised Instagram: @Functionised
