  • Today we dive into a third episode on Essential Amino Acids as from the team at Body Health and Perfect Aminos.

    What are essential amino acids?

    How do we get stronger as we age?

    What are the strategies to building muscle?

    How should we use EAA for recovery and repair from workouts?

    For overall health and energy, increased lean muscle mass, collagen production, and stronger bones, take a baseline of 1 - 3 servings daily:

    For maximum utilization of PerfectAmino it’s best to take it 30 minutes before other fats or proteins, or 1-2 hours after. However, if this is not possible you will still get fantastic results and near 99% utilization – so don’t worry! Start with the following amounts for your body weight:

    Up to 110 lbs: Take 1 - 2 servings first thing in the morning or before bed. 110 - 140 lbs: Take 2 servings first thing in the morning or before bed. 140 - 170 lbs: Take at least 2 servings first thing in the morning and 1 before bed. 170 - 200+ lbs: Take at least 2 servings first thing in the morning
    and 1-2 before bed.

    If you take those amounts you should be noticing positive changes within a couple of weeks.
    NOTE: When taking two servings in a day it is most effective when taken at the same time, not split up.

    If you workout daily: To improve performance, you may want to add 1-2 servings to the above. Take PerfectAmino before your workout as well as before bed, to enhance recovery. You will get the most for recovery taking PerfectAmino before bed. However, it can also be taken 20-30 minutes before a workout for maximum endurance and prevention of muscle loss, especially during fasted workouts. One would not then need to take more after the workout as the aminos will still be in your blood stream helping recovery. They will normally be in the blood stream for about 2-3 hours.

    There are some larger people who do intensive, 1-2 hour workouts and use PerfectAmino as their main protein source. They take 2 servings in the morning, 2 servings before their workout, and then 2 before bed. They do very well with this as their primary source of protein.

    What is Precision Medicine? Personalized health plans for optimal wellbeing...Precision Medicine is a genetics-based approach to personalized care. Informed by biometrics, genomics, and lifestyle factors, our health plans include individualized recommendations for diet, exercise, sleep, mental health, disease risk reduction, and more.

    Dr. Matthew Dawson attended medical school at The University of Kentucky before completing his residency in emergency medicine at The University of Utah, where he served as both chief resident and fellow. He has practiced medicine and was an associate professor at the University of Kentucky for 7 years, with an acute interest in functional medicine and, later, genomics. Dr. Dawson’s obsession with performance optimization began well before medical school. In high school, he would implement any fitness or nutrition technique that’d give him ‘an edge’ in athletics, resulting in college scholarship offers in two sports. Dr. Dawson carried this obsession with him through medical school and into his profession as a physician, earning numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership on account of his research and approach to health care.

    ‍Dr. Dawson crystallized this approach to providing patients with true health care, rather than sick care, by building Wild Health – a Precision Medicine service providing personalized, genetics-based care to help patients achieve optimal wellbeing. In that, Dr. Dawson has also trained thousands of physicians in Precision Medicine through online education, and has lectured in over twenty countries around the world. Dr. Dawson also co-hosts the Wild Health Podcast, a tool for teaching thousands about personalized, genetics-based Precision Medicine. His passion to help patients maximize their health span and perform at their absolute best considers all aspects of health: mental, physical, and spiritual.

  • Are you fit and healthy from the inside out?

    How do you know?

    Test and not guess if you can...or try a food elimination plan and add in gut healing foods to create a SUPER GUT!

    Here are some key findings from relevant research on gut health for the fit and active individual...

    Increased Intestinal Permeability: Endurance exercise, particularly prolonged and intense bouts, has been associated with increased intestinal permeability, commonly referred to as “leaky gut.” This increased permeability allows for the passage of larger molecules (such as bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles) through the intestinal barrier, potentially triggering immune responses and inflammation. Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Athletes: Endurance athletes, such as marathon runners, triathletes, and cyclists, frequently report gastrointestinal symptoms during or after exercise, including bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. These symptoms may be indicative of gut dysfunction or increased permeability. Mechanisms of Gut Permeability: Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the relationship between endurance exercise and gut permeability. These include decreased blood flow to the gut during intense exercise, oxidative stress, release of inflammatory cytokines, alterations in gut microbiota composition, and changes in intestinal tight junction proteins that regulate barrier function. Impact on Performance and Recovery: The presence of leaky gut and gastrointestinal symptoms in athletes may impair performance, hinder recovery, and increase susceptibility to infections and inflammatory conditions. Chronic exposure to exercise-induced gut stress could also contribute to long-term health consequences, although more research is needed to fully understand these effects. Nutritional Strategies: Nutritional interventions, such as dietary modification, supplementation with probiotics or specific nutrients (e.g., glutamine, zinc), and timing of food intake, may help mitigate exercise-induced gut damage and improve gut health in athletes. However, the efficacy of these strategies remains to be fully elucidated.

    Overall, while there is growing evidence suggesting a correlation between endurance exercise, gut permeability, and gastrointestinal symptoms in athletes, further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and develop targeted interventions to optimize gut health and performance in this population.

  • Metabolic analysis involves the measurement and analysis of metabolic processes within the body. This includes the study of how the body produces, utilizes, and regulates energy during various activities and conditions. Metabolic analysis is crucial for understanding physiological responses to exercise, nutrition, disease, and environmental factors.

    The systems typically measured in metabolic analysis include:

    Energy Systems: This includes the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. The aerobic system primarily utilizes oxygen to produce energy through oxidative processes, while the anaerobic systems generate energy without oxygen, primarily through glycolysis.

    Respiratory System: Measurement of oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) provides insights into energy expenditure and substrate utilization.

    Cardiovascular System: Heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure are often measured to assess the cardiovascular response to metabolic demands.

    Muscular System: Muscle metabolism, including the utilization of energy substrates such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids, is analyzed to understand muscular fuel utilization and fatigue mechanisms.

    Endocrine System: Hormonal responses, such as changes in insulin, cortisol, and catecholamines, are often monitored during metabolic analysis as they play crucial roles in regulating metabolism and energy balance.

    Nutrient Utilization: Understanding how the body uses different fuels (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) during rest, exercise, and recovery provides valuable information about metabolic flexibility and efficiency.

    Fuel sources used in exercise at various intensities:

    Low-intensity Exercise: During low-intensity activities such as walking or light jogging, the body primarily relies on fat oxidation for energy production. This is because fat oxidation can supply a sufficient amount of energy aerobically without the need for rapid energy production.

    Moderate-intensity Exercise: As exercise intensity increases, there's a shift towards greater carbohydrate utilization to meet energy demands. The body starts relying more on glycogen stores in muscles and liver, breaking them down into glucose for energy production.

    High-intensity Exercise: During high-intensity activities like sprinting or intense weightlifting, the body's energy demands exceed the capacity for aerobic metabolism. In this case, the anaerobic glycolytic system becomes the primary energy source, rapidly breaking down stored glycogen to produce ATP without oxygen- producing lactate to be re-used as fuel.

    Overall, the body adapts its fuel utilization based on exercise intensity and duration, balancing between aerobic and anaerobic pathways to meet energy demands efficiently while maintaining homeostasis. Metabolic analysis helps to understand these processes and optimize performance, training, and nutritional strategies.

    Understanding metabolic analysis and exercise fuel utilization provides valuable insights into how the body responds to different intensities of exercise. By optimizing these processes, individuals can enhance performance, improve training outcomes, and achieve their fitness goals more effectively. Stay tuned for more episodes where we continue to explore the fascinating science behind human physiology and exercise performance.

  • Today Debbie dives into the delicate role of AMPK and MTOR Pathway. Just as insulin, cortisol, cholesterol, and glucose... MTOR isn't bad. It is the GOLDILOCKS Effect of everything in our body. Our body has it's innate intelligence to maintain homeostasis - fascinating ability to turn up or turn down different mechanisms to keep us functioning at optimal leve- until we do something TOO much or TOO little. The effectiveness of fasting or exercise may also depend on individual factors, including an individual’s health status, age, and metabolic health. Combining both fasting and exercise may have synergistic effects on AMPK activation and overall cellular health. AMPK: Nutrient Sensing: Acts as a cellular energy sensor. Activation: Triggered by the depletion of energy stores, resulting in a high AMP/ADP:ATP ratio. Effects on Metabolism: Increases the oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA) and glucose. Reduces cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis. Regulation by Nutrients: Activated during fasting. Suppressed by the presence of carbohydrates and amino acids. Role in Cellular Processes: Signaling to increase mitochondrial biogenesis. Promotes aerobic metabolism. mTORC1: Activation: Activated by various signals, including resistance exercise. Effects on Protein Synthesis and Growth: Increases protein synthesis. Contributes to muscle hypertrophy. Activation Signals: Metabolites of muscle damage. Growth hormone (GH). Essential amino acids (EAA) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Carbohydrates and insulin. Inhibition by AMPK: mTORC1 is inhibited by AMPK, creating a reciprocal relationship.

    What are your thoughts, questions or suggestions? Which rabbit hole are we going to go down next week? Send message to www.debbiepotts.net to Coach Debbie Potts.

  • A common theme right now is the "30 gram cheat sheet" as ...

    30 grams of protein cheat sheet: 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt 1 cup tempeh 5 oz shrimp (about 10 large shrimp) 1 cup cottage cheese 4 oz chicken (about half of a chicken breast) 5 oz grass-fed steak (slightly larger than a deck of cards) 1 1/2 cups tofu 2 cups black beans 5 oz wild-caught salmon (about one fillet) 5 eggs

    But do these protein foods have the right balance of essential amino acids as leucine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis?

    Let's go down a new rabbit hole!

    https://debbiepotts.net/why-you-need-to-focus-on-muscle-health-as-you-age-not-just-vo2-max/

    Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

    1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt: Yes, Greek yogurt typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per serving. 1 cup tempeh: Yes, tempeh usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per cup. 5 oz shrimp: Yes, shrimp contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving. 1 cup cottage cheese: Yes, cottage cheese generally contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per cup. 4 oz chicken: Yes, chicken breast usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 4 oz serving. 5 oz grass-fed steak: Yes, steak typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving. 1 1/2 cups tofu: Yes, tofu usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 1 1/2 cup serving. 2 cups black beans: No, black beans do not typically contain enough leucine to meet the 2.5-3 gram threshold. They contain around 1.8 grams of leucine per cup. 5 oz wild-caught salmon: Yes, salmon typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving. 5 eggs: Yes, eggs usually contain around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 egg serving.
  • I wanted to repost/resahre this episode with Whitney on the Wheat Zoomer test results for me as I find this lab test so helpful to use in our health investigation process along with a gut test, hormone DUTCH test, food sensitivities and blood chemistry assessment. We need to look at the WHOLE picture and collect clues to put the missing pieces of the puzzle back together to restore our vitality and homeostasis. The body has its own amazing innate intelligence but sometimes we need to investigate what is throwing us out of balance and creating dysfunction. Chronic stressors accumulate and lead to dys-function so we need to address the external and HIIDEN internal sources of CHRONIC stress that impact the WHOLE you - and may hold you back from living your best life. Do you want to feel, look and move your best in life as you age?

    Watch the video on my Wheat Zoomer test a few years ago to understand the report:

    Wheat Zoomer Video with Whitney Morgan

    Let's investigate what is off balance in your body if you want to be a health optimizer!

    The Wheat Zoomer panel assesses sensitivity to wheat, autoimmune disease, and intestinal barrier stability. If you suspect you have wheat sensitivity, multiple food sensitivities, intestinal permeability, autoimmune disorders, or chronic inflammation, you may benefit from this panel.

    Do you struggle with these symptoms? •Gastrointestinal inflammation •Excessive fatigue after meals •Joint pains •Lack of concentration/Brain fog •Diarrhea •Bloating sensation •Gas (of any kind) •Nausea •Headaches, including migraines •Neurological symptoms (memory loss, balance problems, numbness, tingling, anxiety) •Eczema or psoriasis •Low vitamin D status One out of seven Americans is at least somewhat sensitive to wheat- Wheat sensitivity can/may contribute to leaky gut, autoimmune disease (Celiac), and neurological symptoms Wheat sensitivity may damage the intestinal lining, causing further inflammation Chronic inflammation is associated with serious diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis Uncovering wheat sensitivities is an easy and critical step in developing a nutritional plan to reduce inflammation and prevent disease Let's test and not guess what is going own under your hood!
