Fluoride toxicity!

Posted on | by Alexander Gilmore

What do infertility, ADHD, diabetes, cancer, thyroid issues, and brain disease (including lowered IQ, dementia, and Alzheimer’s) have in common? Fluoride toxicity!  (not to leave out bromine and chlorine, more on that later). A host of symptoms and diseases occur thanks to this chemical being touted as crucial for tooth health and therefore added to water, toothpaste, processed food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.  

Here are some recent examples in my office:

A colleague of mine who was unable to get pregnant asked me for a consultation. Upon examining her body, I found a toxin in her ovaries, and on query it went to a childhood toxin. More questioning led to discovery of fluoride. Fluoride accumulation in the ovaries was interfering with her fertility in association with fluoride replacing iodine and causing dysfunction of her thyroid (hypothyroidism) which is a common known cause of infertility. 

A young pregnant woman also presented and showed for the fluoride vial. We know that if the mom has enough iodine in her body the baby’s IQ can be 17 points higher. The only thing that rivals that would be Omega-3s in particular DHA for babies’ brains. These latest findings indicate to me the importance of educating everyone I can about the dangers of fluoride in our environment and in particular to developing brains.

The good news is my colleague is expecting a baby sometime in November!

And this young mother is going to get fluoride out of her life and add the iodine needed for her new baby’s brain.

You might know that fluoride is a natural mineral and element on the periodic table, so how harmful can it be?  As you can see from the image below, there are different forms of fluoride, and the ones used in our water and dental products is not the naturally occurring, rather harmless type of fluoride.

The Dangers of Fluoride and How to Detox Properly

And here is some of the research:

High fluoride exposure may increase your risk of cognitive problems. A 1995 study published in Neurotoxicity and Teratology has found that prenatal fluoride exposure can increase the risk of hyperactivity and cognitive problems (7).

A 2017 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives has also linked it to lower IQ levels (8). Other research, including a 1998 study published in Brain Research and a 1997 study published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences has found that fluoride, aluminum, and sodium in water may increase the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. (9, 10). 

Fluoride may also increase the risk of cancer. A 1977 study published in Fluoride and a 1993 study published in the Journal of the International Society of Fluoride have both linked fluoride exposure to an increased risk of cancer (11, 12). 

Fluoride may also increase the risk of hormonal health issues and diabetes. A 2015 observational study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has found that fluoride in drinking water may increase the risk of hypothyroidism (13).

A 1997 paper at the University of Surrey, School of Biological Sciences has found that fluoride may affect the pineal gland and puberty (14). A 2015 study published in the Journal of Diabetes Research has found that low-level fluoride in water may help insulin sensitivity suggesting that higher levels may contribute to insulin resistance and the risk of diabetes (15).

Citizens in many US cities have presented this information to their town/city councils and have asked for the removal of fluoride from their water with mixed results.  Close to home:

Hotchkiss Board of Trustees — Bids Awarded for Town Projects, Moratorium on Fluoridation

High Country Shopper | March 20, 2024 | By Deena Schmalz

Trustees also considered an informational report about the negative effects of adding fluoride to the town’s water.  Webb pointed out that studies have shown fluoride to be a toxin and it can be damaging to the development of children’s brains. Many U.S. cities and countries around the world have banned adding fluoride to their water supply.  He continued, “I don’t know if we want to have any part in adding this to our water.”

Webb felt that since fluoridated water wasn’t required by the state and it was documented to be harmful to young children, the town should put a one-year moratorium on adding fluoride to its water.   There was some discussion as to whether or not residents must vote on this change. With that in mind, trustees unanimously approved the moratorium with the stipulation that it would be brought back to the board if it required voter approval.  

Original article online at: https://www.highcountryshopper.com/spotlight/civically_engaged/hotchkiss-board-of-trustees-bids-awarded-for-town-projects-moratorium-on-fluoridation/article_2968ffae-e6f7-11ee-a0e2-a36fc8b2d550.html

This was recently rescinded as health professionals/dentists begged the city to put fluoride back in.

And more recently:

“In a decision that could end the practice of water fluoridation in the U.S., a federal judge late Tuesday (Sep. 24, 2024) ruled that water fluoridation at current U.S. levels poses an “unreasonable risk” of reduced IQ in children.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can no longer ignore that risk, and must take regulatory action, Judge Edward Chen of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California wrote in the long-awaited landmark decision.

The ruling concludes a historic lawsuit — one that has dragged on for seven years — brought against the EPA by environmental and consumer advocacy organizations like the Fluoride Action Network, Moms Against Fluoridation and Food & Water Watch, along with individual parents and children.

The law dictates that the EPA must take regulatory action, but it does not specify what that action has to be. EPA regulatory actions can range from notifying the public of risks to banning chemicals.”

Breaking: Fluoride in Water Poses ‘Unreasonable Risk’ to Children, Federal Judge Rules

The American Dental Association’s response:

In a Sept. 25 statement, the ADA said it remains “staunchly in support” of community water fluoridation at optimal levels to help prevent tooth decay.

Personally, we don’t allow our dentist to use fluoride with our children (or ourselves).  If your dentist won’t accept that, find another one.  It took us going through a few before we found one that is supportive of our desires (even though they don’t believe in it).  They use a pumice tooth buffer instead of the fluoride toothpaste.  Obviously we don’t use fluoridated toothpaste at home.  There are a ton of options, the cheapest option being make your own tooth powder and practice regular oil pulling and water irrigation of gums/teeth.  We also use water filters for all drinking/cooking water to filter chlorine and fluoride and other metals and toxins.  These are small but super important ways to limit toxic overload! Also since we are all exposed and deficient in iodine, find easy ways to supplement this essential nutrient, not leaving chlorine aside, be sure to supplement extra iodine, vitamin C or glutathione if you go swimming.

Tooth Powder Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons bentonite clay
  • 4 tablespoons calcium carbonate powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (leave out if you have metal braces)
  • 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seed powder, optional
  • 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cloves
  • 1 Tablespoon activated charcoal, optional – for whitening

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together well. Store in an airtight container.
  2. To use, tip a little into the palm of your hand and smush your toothbrush into it. Some add a drop of colloidal silver (another antibacterial), or a drop of peppermint oil here to make a paste.
  3. Scrub gently. There are some powerful abrasive agents in the tooth powder that will do most of the work. Fine to eat.

De-cluttering life

Posted on | by Alexander Gilmore

Messes, messes, oh the messes.  Remembering what it was like when we had several young homeschooled children, I remember being baffled about the extent of the messes.  It wasn’t like that in my house growing up.  Oh right, we’re homeschooling!  On top of regular toys, we have educational toys and workbooks and videos and art supplies, etc.  And we’re home all day using them!  This became a real source of stress for me and for the children when I was angry and upset about their messes.  

I read a brilliant idea in a parenting book (I think it was “Parenting With Love and Logic” but I could be wrong) called “Gunny Bag”.  Gunny Bag in my case was a pillowcase with a scowly face drawn on it.  The purpose of Gunny Bag was to sneak into their rooms (via Mom) and collect everything that was lying about on the floor that shouldn’t be there.  Those things could be retrieved from the jaws of Gunny Bag by doing chores for Mom or by paying $ to get them back.  

Is this your life?

I’m not sure how much it really helped with keeping rooms cleaner, but it did teach them what they valued.  And as a mother, I learned what sorts of things each child valued and what things they could easily let go of.  That helped me know what sorts of purchases were valuable and what would end up being a waste of money.  I’m not sure what they learned or if it was just a fun game for them, but I do know that with 4 adult children now, they’ve all demonstrated the ability to discern between things they value and want to keep and what they can let go of.  They don’t agonize about getting rid of things that aren’t serving them anymore (like their mom and dad sometimes do).

But I realize I’m getting better at that because of my LifeLine training; because in LifeLine living, we learn to let go of old limiting beliefs and patterns that we once treasured, valued, and needed and replace them with a tidier way of living.  We replace anger, frustration, anxiety, depression, etc. into acceptance, understanding, patience, love, joy, peace, etc.  Sometimes we recognize the old patterns for the garbage that they are, like the dried up markers, headless Barbies, and games with missing pieces.  We also recognize what used to have value but is no longer serving us like old and frayed toothbrushes, outgrown toys, partnerless socks, and well-worn but now holy shoes.

So let’s do a Gunny Bag for the mind exercise together!  Think of an automatic, emotional response that you recognize as garbage (modeled for you as a child so it became yours but you don’t want it) or as something that used to have value for you but is now getting in the way of your progress (in life or in relationships).  Either way, we’ve learned and grown from these patterns and so we can say:

“Thank you subconscious for the gifts of _____________________ (your pattern), but I no longer need it.  I now have the tools, strategies, and support to think, feel, and act with love.  I am _________________(your replacement pattern).  Infinite love and gratitude.”  Then let your heart’s intention guide you into your daily living with that new pattern.  It’s work, yes.  But sometimes bringing out Gunny Bag is just what we need to bring awareness to our feelings and behaviors and determine their value in our lives.  And those , my friends, are messes worth cleaning up.

Love and light to you,

Lisa

Is this the most advance Hydration ever? “Goldilocks water”

Posted on | by Alexander Gilmore

A new company is launching this month and the promotion is incredible, a FREE case of their product shipped direct to you, and you don’t even have to pay shipping if you get your request in before April 19th!

Manoj Bhargava is the man behind 5 hour energy and as a multibillionaire he is trying to make the world a better place. His latest challenge was to solve the looming water crisis, and he has succeeded in developing a breakthrough that will do the job! He already feeds millions of children (with the stipulation that they have to go to school to “earn” their meal). Now he has potentially saved millions of lives with this new water purification system.

This ultrapure water is the beginning of the new product called Cellular Hydration, with the addition of key minerals and amino acids at very specific concentrations. [a term used is osmolality or osmolarity]. The level of around 200 allows for ideal absorption into your body..

Below is more details links etc from my good friend Chris Kinney.

 Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a Good Friday!! This text/email may be lengthy, but please read it all.

Please be sure to include name, address, city state (in 2 letter abbreviation), zip, email and phone number in the following format 123-123-1234, and which type of water Unsweetened or Sweetened . [the sweetening is sucralose so I have been recommending unsweetened]

Submissions are currently running approximately 2 weeks behind from when received.

Intracellular hydration vs normal hydration- we are the only ones who are able to do it without sodium and sugar. We are the only no sodium, no sugar Intracellular hydration product available. 

Normal hydration is extra-cellular, meaning it passes through you. That’s why when we drink lots of water, it passes through us. We are not like that. We have the perfect osmolality of 200 for intracellular hydration. Water has an osmolality of 10. The World Health Organization has come out and said the optimum osmolality is between 180-260, so we’re just right. That’s why we affectionately call it “Goldilocks water”

Peptide Phenomenon

Posted on | by Alexander Gilmore

The phenomenon of peptides and the miracles they can do. One special peptide is called semaglutide and it has the remarkable ability to help in the category of weight loss. We’ll also discuss some of the latest peptides and how you might stack them for optimal health. We will have a guest speaker who has dropped 70 pounds in the last 9 months on a healthy, steady path to regaining the body of her dreams, and her health back. ..Let’s just say wow! Find out some details this Sunday @ 4:30pm. This is all immediately following the Group LifeLine Session at 3pm all at Total Family Wellness and the 24hour gym Respond with questions or to reserve your spot.

We have an exciting and relatively inexpensive new tool in our belt when it comes to regenerative medicine today! Yes, we’re talking stem cell activation, antiaging, weight loss, immune modulation and more. The category of peptides is incredibly diverse and research is expanding at a breath taking rate. Here are some highlights in case you’ve never heard about this.

What is Peptide Therapy?

In recent years, the use of peptides in healthcare has grown and is now widely available as a treatment option for numerous conditions. I am always researching new advances in medicine to ensure our patients receive the highest quality of care. As such, we are proud to offer peptide therapy to our patients as a method of improving their overall health, wellness, and quality of life.

What are peptides?

Peptides are the building blocks of proteins and are composed of amino acids that work to regulate a variety of biological functions and processes. These naturally occurring peptides act as signaling molecules within the body and instruct other cells and molecules on what functions to perform.

There are over 7,000 known peptides within the human body and though some may be similar each is responsible for facilitating a different response and action within the body. Some common functions of peptides include providing pain relief, aiding in soft tissue repair, accelerating healing processes, promoting weight loss and lean muscle gain, reversing symptoms of sexual dysfunction, and improving hormone production and cognitive function. The unique property of peptides can be harnessed and used to treat specific conditions; this treatment process is known as peptide therapy.

What is peptide therapy?

Though our bodies naturally produce peptides, the production of peptides can vary greatly by individual and as we age, the number and quality of peptides within the body may decline. Peptide therapy refers to restoring the number of peptides to stimulate cellular regrowth systems within the body as a treatment option for specific conditions. Peptides are typically administered directly into the bloodstream through subcutaneous injections, but may also be applied as topical creams, nasal sprays, or oral forms. This form of treatment can be entirely customized to the patient’s unique needs and goals. By using this targeted method, we can produce a specific reaction in the body and treat a variety of conditions.

What are the benefits of peptide therapy?

As stated above, peptide therapy is an extremely unique treatment option that can be used to treat a variety of concerns. Some of the benefits of peptide therapy can include but are not limited to the following:

  • Accelerate healing processes
  • Boost hormone levels
  • Build muscle mass
  • Decrease joint and muscle pain
  • Enhance cognitive function and memory
  • Help reverse symptoms of sexual dysfunction
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Increase levels of energy, stamina, and strength
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Promote healthy immune function
  • Reduce signs of aging
  • Stimulate hair growth

Why should I consider peptide therapy?

Since peptides are naturally found throughout the body, it is no surprise that when disordered, they can create ripples of effects across multiple systems that may affect other bodily functions such as your digestion, metabolism, weight loss, sexual desire, inflammation, neuropathy, and a myriad of age-related conditions.

Peptide therapy can aid in treating these conditions by mimicking your body’s own peptides, which elicit a particular desired response. As peptides are naturally occurring and specific in function, they are well tolerated within your body with minimal to no side effects of treatment. Generally, peptides used in therapy are crafted from animal or plant protein sources such as eggs, milk, meat, soy, oats, flaxseed, hemp seed, and wheat.

If any of the benefits mentioned regarding peptide therapy sound appealing to you, consider scheduling an appointment to talk to your doctor about the benefits of peptide therapy. A consultation with our team is the best way to ensure you find the right treatment option for your lifestyle and goals. For more information on peptide therapy and how we can help you, contact:

Commonly Recommended Peptides:

BPC-157(or, Body Protective Compound 157) is a peptide chain consisting of 15 amino acids that has been researched for its extremely high level of biological healing activity. It is derived from a protective protein found in the stomach and can be administered orally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intranasally. BPC 157 is a type of peptide therapy that has been recently studied to produce systemic effects on both the brain and the gut, and repair those systems. It also has protective effects extending beyond the stomach and intestinal tract. It has been shown to benefit: ulcers in the stomach, intestinal damage such as fistulas and inflammatory disorders, bone and joint healing and growth rates, and organ damage. It also has influences on the brain.

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide of the naturally occuring healing protein present in about all human and mammalian cells known as Thymosin Beta 4 (TB4). TB 500 is thought to have beneficial effects on wound healing, injury recovery, flexibility, and inflammation. Research indicated the effects of TB 500 are on blood cell and blood vessel development, cellular differentiation, and cell migration. The healing capability is due in large from the peptide’s regulation of actin, a cell building protein essential to healing and wound repair. TB 500 is produced in the thymus gland and is found in high concentrations in wound fluids. Research demonstrates it has wound healing properties in addition to healing and repair of skin, cornea, and heart.

TB 500 is a naturally occurring peptide also found in high concentrations in blood platelets. TB-500 peptides for research are not growth factors; rather major actin regulating protein peptides. TB 500 plays an important role in protection, regeneration and remodeling of injured and/or damaged tissues. The gene that codes for Thymosin Beta-4 was noted in a study to be one of the first to be stimulated after an incident of injury. Present in almost all human and animal cells, Thymosin Beta 4 is naturally occurring wound healing peptide. TB 500 , a synthetically made version of TB4 that facilitates comparable healing and recovery by helping building new blood vessels, muscle tissue fibers, blood cells, and facilitating cell migration. For a stressed and injured person, TB 500 can offer an extremely desirable wound healing effects.

CJC-1295 is a synthetic GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) analogue made up of 30 amino acids. It has been found to be highly effective with regards to the increase of growth hormone secretion and IGF-1 without negatively affecting the pulsatility of GH secretion. CJC-1295 is often combined with Ipamorelin due to its enhanced specificity as a GHRH. This peptide generates similar increases in growth hormone secretion, but without the appetite stimulation and increase in cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin, and aldosterone seen with other peptides in its class. This peptide has been found to be very well-tolerated and perfect when combined with Ipamorelin.  Gland Stimulated: Pituitary

CJC 1295 offers many benefits to the body, including: Increased growth hormone secretion and IGF-1 Levels with no increase in prolactin, increased Body Weight and Length through increased protein synthesis, increased Muscle Growth, Bone Density, Immune Function, Cognition and Memory, Collagen Production, Fat Loss, increased Cellular Repair and Regeneration. CJC-1295 also promotes slow wave deep sleep, which is responsible for the highest level of muscle growth and memory retention and rejuvenation.

AOD 9604 has become a real heavyweight among people looking to become both leaner and lighter. While many consider it a weight loss wonder, this peptide is actually a fragment of human growth hormone (HGH). It’s natural ability to stimulate the pituitary gland helps to speed up your metabolism, which helps you burn fat and boosts your calorie burn—all without increasing your hunger or blood sugar. Fat doesn’t stand a chance against this naturally powerful peptide, whose impressive fat-fighting abilities can provide the following benefits, such as: Reducing body fat, increasing calorie burn, triggering fat release, boosting your metabolism, preventing non-fatty foods from turning into body fat, and reducing your appetite. In addition, there are no negative effects on blood sugar levels or tissue growth.

According to clinical studies, the remarkable power of AOD 9604 is found in its ability to regulate your body’s metabolism. By stimulating the metabolism’s natural fat-burning process, it triggers the release of fat from obese fat cells, while also working to decrease the growth of new fat in the surrounding fat cells. This results in greater weight loss and less overall body fat, without any uncomfortable effects on your appetite or blood sugar. Along with its recognized fat-burning qualities, additional studies have found that AOD 9604 may have a regenerative influence on bone & cartilage repair, particularly when it’s used along with peptide BPC 157.

PEG-MGF Pegylated Mechano Growth Factor is used for muscle recovery and new muscle growth. It binds to receptors and recovers the damaged muscle tissues, as well as signaling satellite cells to grow. This can be helpful to workouts, but also to age-related muscle loss issues and conditions. The benefit of PEG-MGF over the past variants of IGF, is that it doesn’t just repair damaged muscle tissue. Primarily, MGF is used in conditions requiring anabolic enhancement, including bony and soft tissue repair (e.g., tendon, ligament, muscle) following injury, sarcopenia (muscle wasting), stroke, or heart attack. PEG-MGF is a safe and effective option for use in patients who are looking to improve recovery and repair through anabolic signaling.

Sow a thought, reap an action.
Sow an action, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap and eternal destiny.

What happens before thought? Where do your thoughts come from? Unfortunately most people don’t know the truth is that your thoughts come from your subconscious mind which can be difficult to penetrate and uncover. Most of this subconscious is from programs of biological survival and other cultural and social programs that are inoculated into your mind mostly from the ages of 0-6 years. Many people get stuck in these limiting patterns of behavior that can rob joy from life and create ill health suffering and disease.

Now is an opportunity for all of humanity/ Gods children on earth to wake up to the divinity within that can change these patterns through the power of God which is infinite love and gratitude. As you apply this infinite power to the exact areas needed, where you have internalized, lost, denied or disconnected from, the pattern of suffering can be broken and a new life can emerge.

What areas of your life are you experiencing something less then perfection? Are you willing to grow and change? Come set an intention deeply into your being through a Group LifeLine session this Sunday afternoon at 3pm. Join us live or virtually via Zoom. Your energy can make a difference not only through personal growth and influencing those in your immediate circle, but also through quantum entanglement to everyone everywhere.

“An amygdala hijack refers to a personal, emotional response that is immediate, overwhelming, and out of measure with the actual stimulus because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat”.   
– Coined by Daniel Goleman in his 1996 book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ 

 As you can imagine, getting hijacked is not ideal if you want to establish new habits, behaviors and strategies to achieve your dreams. 

Well, LifeLine is a very powerful process so you can say  “I don’t negotiate with terrorists, or make deals with the devil”

Total Family Wellness and Divine Connections Ministry together with Dr. Alexander and Lisa Gilmore  Present










A Group LifeLine® Session





This is a FREE event, the more people who participate the better effect we will have on healing our community and beyond. If you participate in person, you’re welcome to bring a healthy snack to share.





With infinite love and gratitude we invite you to participate in a group intention setting process.  Expand and grow your consciousness like never before.  We hope to fully activate the maharishi effect ( the prayer/meditative effect decreasing violence in a given region) as hundreds of people unite to bring a peace that will surpass understanding to heal humanity of destructive patterns inherited from our past. Isn’t it time we started creating/bringing heaven to earth? Are you divinely connected? Can you enhance your connection to the Divine?  We seek the most benevolent outcome and highest good and healing for all in this event. Learn about and take your abundant life score and allow change and growth to be evident as you release the subconscious and reconnect to internalized/denied/and disconnected power centers of heart, mind and will. Are you fully connected to your divine mission and purposes? Is your body free from pain, the effects of sin (death)? If we love enough and connect to infinite Source completely, will we extend our lives and become more Godlike? What will that look like? It is said that our ancient fathers lived nigh upon 1000 years, is it possible today?  How about just experiencing a more joyful existence now and healing ourselves and the planet at the same time? We all think that we perceive the truth, however perhaps we perceive what we believe instead.  Limiting beliefs passed down through generations and cultural programs inhibit the full expression of our divine connections.  Upgrade, shift, and reprogram your limiting beliefs now be empowered to change. Come set and fulfill your own intention and reprogram your sub/superconscious mind to create a more abundant life. Achieve lifetimes of spiritual and personal growth in a compressed time, a fast pass to infinite love and gratitude in your life.

Intermittent Fasting
		

			Posted on  |  by Alexander Gilmore		

			

	

		






What is fasting?





It is as simple as stopping eating completely, or almost completely, for a certain amount of time. You may be thinking, “ok and why would I want to stop eating, that sounds hard?”. That would be a great question, there are many reasons why you should consider fasting. 





The many why’s to fasting include:





  1. Healing the metabolism and burning fat
  2. Restoring insulin sensitivity
  3. Reducing inflammation
  4. Increasing cellular autophagy
  5. Increasing stem cell production
  6. Boosting youthful hormones
  7. Reducing chronic disease risk
  8. Improving relationship with food
  9. Improving mental health and focus
  10. Improving energy





There is much to fasting and the many ways it will benefit you. So let’s break it down even further to why these aspects are so important to your health and your life, and hopefully by the end, you will be convinced that fasting is for you. 





Healing the metabolism, Fat burning, and Restoring Insulin Sensitivity





Besides the obvious reason of looking good and having an endless supply of energy, these components are important for staying healthy, not getting diabetes, staying lean and not being obese, keeping a healthy heart, and preventing cancer. 










To sum up, what is in this diagram, when there is insulin resistance in the body, the consumption of carbs causes insulin in the body to increase but the cells resist it and so there is more insulin secreted which causes inflammation in the body and increases the carb craving. Insulin also is in charge of delivering certain nutrients to the cells but when the body resists it, then it can’t do its job. Insulin resistance causes fat storage and people who find themselves with this resistance will have more abdominal fat, fatty liver disease, elevated triglycerides, and other unhealthy fat deposits. 





This is where fasting comes into the picture. Fasting naturally gives your blood and cells a chance to use up their glucose storage and reset insulin receptors. This means that fasting uses the fat that is already stored within the body and processes it so that our body can catch up. Another thing that fasting does is it naturally kicks you into ketosis, which is a form of metabolism that creates a lower amount of oxidative stress. Inducing ketosis improved almost every marker of metabolic health. 





Boosting Youthful Hormones





If you still aren’t convinced that fasting is what you need, how about preventing aging and increasing your youthful looks? Sound enticing yet?










 Fasting is proven to increase your HGH which is the hormone that keeps us young. Why waste thousands of dollars on anti-aging creams when all you need to do is eliminate food for a certain amount of time? Also, hormone replacement therapy of HGH helped the above but caused side effects of elevated blood sugar, elevated blood pressure, and increased fluid retention. But with fasting elevated levels of HGH were produced with no shown negative side effects. And did you know that HGH prevents the body from going into starvation mode while fasting and enhances skin repair, heals internal organs, protects the brain from deterioration, and maintains bone marrow? If you want to look good and stay looking good, fasting is the way. 





Increasing Stem Cell Production





Stem cells are the cells that develop into blood, the brain, bones, and all of the body’s organs. They have the potential to repair, restore, replace, and regenerate cells, and could possibly be used to treat many medical conditions and diseases. Here are all the different types of stem cells within the body: 










When you fast, you increase the stem cells in your body The level of stem cell activity seems to be dependent on the length of the fast. The longer that you fast, the higher levels of stem cells are produced for up to 5 days, and then the stem cell production plateaus. 













Now that this is all clearly laid out, what is still holding you back? Oh, you have heard all the myths about fasting! You’ve probably heard that you lose muscle or that it will cause nutrition deficiencies, well I am here to ease your mind and put your worries to rest with those myths.





First, some have said that you will be nutrient deficient, which is a myth. Fasting actually aids with being able to absorb nutrition better. Fasting does this by giving your gut bacteria and the whole digestive system a break that is well deserved. What actually causes nutrition deficiencies are: 





  1. A low-nutrient diet
  2. Poor digestion due to low stomach acid levels
  3. Leaky gut
  4. Blood sugar imbalances, which prevent insulin from transporting nutrients into the cell
  5. Chronic stress





Second, it was said that you’d lose muscle if you fast, which is not true if you eat enough nutrient-dense calories and protein, fasting promotes the ideal hormonal conditions for building muscle and burning fat at the same time.





The last thing you may be asking is, how do I fast? There are several ways that you can fast which I will share with you below.





How to Fast










Here are the 7 ways that you can fast, the easiest being the simple fast which is 12 hours. 










For some this may still be hard so you can gradually ease your body into the idea of eating less food by: 





  • Week 1 & 2–Eliminate sugar and fast daily for 12-14 hours.
  • Week 3–Crescendo or cycle fasting with ketogenic refeeds (16-hour fast 2-3 days/week)
  • Week 4–Daily 16-18 hour fasts with ketogenic refeeds
  • Week 5–Add a 24-hour fat fast once per week
  • Week 6–Add 24-hour water fast once/a week





If this is even too hard for you, you can start by eliminating sugar, and here are a few strategies to help with sugar cravings. 





1.Low Carb, Ketogenic Lifestyle





2.Lemons, limes, apple cider vinegar





3.Super brain squats





4.Water and good salts





5.Stevia and monk fruit





6.Reduce stress and adapt stronger





7.Support dopamine production





Hopefully, you are convinced why you should fast and have gotten an understanding of what fasting is, what it is good for, and the myths about it to help you on your journey to better healing, and a happier, healthier self. 

	


	





	

		
Fulcrum

The doctor keeps telling me to fulcrum, but then I forget how to do it. 





Well not anymore, here are some websites, videos, and instructions to help you fulcrum either your lumbar, cervical, or sacrum. 





Fulcrum are an essential part of spinal rehabilitation. They provide support for your lumbar (low back) and cervical (neck) regions while performing rehab exercises on them. The exercises are targeted to retrain the muscles and ligaments of the spinal system to function in a more optimal position.
