Body fat comes primarily from excess Carbohydrates.
It’s not general “excess calories” that usually cause weight gain.
Calories from steak, vegetables and Olive Oil don’t convert to adipose tissue (fat).
Carbs = Adipose Tissue = Body Fat

Are your periods toxic? Is your body discarding toxic waste when you flow?
Some Raw Vegan bloggers began to claim periods are toxic wastes leaving the body as early as 2017. They say that periods are not necessary.
Have heavy flow or painful periods? Stop eating all fats, proteins and cooked food and your painful periods may stop.
The diet guidelines? Raw grains, raw vegetables, raw fruit. No fat, no meat, no eggs.

GABA Neurotransmitter for Anxiety and Addiction
GABA is our main inhibitory (stabilizing) neurotransmitter and a regulator of anxiety and addiction.
It helps us stay calm and avoid sympathetic flight or fight mode. It governs dozens of functions in the mind and body.
Along with Serotonin, GABA provides the brakes in our body (the "slow-slow"), much as Dopamine and Acetyl-Choline provide the "go-go". Like yin and yang, we need both to be balanced.
In our natural state as hunters and gatherers, we only went into alarm mode if a real or potential threat was encountered.
But our nervous systems in modern however perceive much of our day as threat. Deadlines, traffic, money, and worries of all types. We can feel endangered just by missing a phone call or freeway exit.

https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/Why is it important to fix your child’s stomach aches?
Many parents don’t realize their kids hurt. Children don’t know tummies are not supposed to hurt. They may think it’s normal.
I did not know my gut was not supposed to hurt when growing up. As an adult I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease but decades of malabsorption took their toll on my bones and growth.
I always ask kids and teens in Consults if anything hurts. The question can surprise them, especially if they’re seeing me for “allergies”.
Explaining that pain (or constipation, gas, diarrhea) is not right and we want to fix it helps them understand WHY we’ll be changing their diet.
For other kids, stomach aches become a negotiating factor when they want out of doing something. It can be a problem figuring out real tummy aches from imaginary ones.
Either way, it’s important to address.

The adrenal and thyroid connection is often missed by doctors checking only the thyroid. Understanding how these glands affect each other helps address adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism at the same time.
The goal of natural (Functional Medicine) health care is resolving the cause of the problem, not just the symptom. If you're treating your thyroid lab numbers but not checking adrenal function you may be missing something!

Lysine for Herpes – A Track Record of Success
People have taken Lysine for Herpes and Shingles for decades. Being a sufferer myself, I depend on Lysine as ONE supplement to help manage the Herpes virus. Along with diet changes and other key supplements.
Lysine and Arginine amino acids (proteins) counteract each other. The virus “feeds on” and is triggered by excess Arginine.

60 to 70% of us don't get enough. This helps explain the epidemic of Hypothyroidism I see in Consults. The entire body uses Iodine but it's key for the Thyroid.

Are there valid reasons to avoid coconut oil, meat, milk or water? Should coconuts be off the menu?
My clients occasionally do see problems with coconuts (and I do too). Sometimes it’s the oil and sometimes issues occur with the meat or milk.
Coconuts can offer wonderful health benefits, both internally and externally, but like all things, they may not be right for YOU. Check out these questions and try going coconut-free for a few weeks before consuming again. Watch for effects in any area.
Self-experimentation is one of the cornerstones of the Paleo/Ancestral lifestyle. Here are 6 reasons to try a coconut-free experiment.

How to Buy Healthy Eggs
In the grocers, look for eggs labeled PASTURE-RAISED, such as Vital Farms. Pastured hens live outdoors in movable coops.
In a Farmer's Market, ask the seller "what do you feed these chickens?"
Eggs that are colored, speckled or slightly dirty don't mean the birds were pastured. They may have been raised in a fenced dirt area with no access to bugs or forage. Eating GMO corn and soy - not a natural diet for birds.
Pastured chickens' natural diet is bugs, green plants and seeds. When insects and seeds decline in the winter, they need a grain mix in addition to most any food products from the farm.
Chickens are NOT vegetarians.

Are you using the Lysine Arginine ratio for Herpes support? Correctly?
Lysine and Arginine are two of twenty amino acids (proteins). Proteins are building blocks for hundreds of things – muscles, neurotransmitters, blood cells, enzymes and more.
Lysine is one of Eight Essential Amino Acids, meaning we do NOT make Lysine so MUST get it in our diet. The Standard American Diet can be deficient in Lysine because it is grain-based. Is this why 40 to 60% of Americans have HSV infections?
Arginine comes in food, and we can also make it. So it is not one of the eight essential aminos.

Need help choosing the best grain free cat food? I am a Functional Health coach and teach my (human) Clients to primarily eat foods we ate before Agriculture and factories. Our historical diet.
The same is true for pets.
What Do Cats Eat in Nature? Cats are “Obligate Carnivores”. They eat meat and all of the animal that comes with the meat – organs, bones, (some of the) feathers, stomach contents, etc. Cats don’t graze on grass like an herbivore. They take a bite or two in the summer to help with fur balls. Cats enjoy an egg now and then along with the bird that laid it. If they can stalk it, it looks like food to them. They don’t dig potatoes, eat fruit, lentils, nuts, or grains (grass seed).Full Description

Need some good foods for constipation? Chronic constipation and occasional constipation have different causes and need different support.
Either way, these ideas help to know what to eat for constipation and reduce laxative use, toxic stool softeners and excess dosing of Magnesium. (All Vitamins and Minerals need to be in balance - taking too much of one can throw others into deficit. Here is a well-balanced multi).
