Gut Issues in America 

 

Hi everyone!

I ran across this amazing video outlining the history of gut issues in America and the role of our food industry in how this came about. I have been saying these things individually to my patients for a long time, but this cartoonist has put it together in a must see video that is very educational, but is also an advertisement for a probiotic company. Please take some time to watch this, but take the end with a GIANT grain of salt. The probiotic manufacturer who paid to have this cartoon made would have you believe that all you have to do is take their product and never change your diet. This is wrong and trying to appeal to American's desire to believe in "the magic pill theory."There is no magic pill. Dietary changes must happen AND these little critters must be killed off. We now know you have to kill, crowd and starve unhealthy gut flora to get them balanced. Additionally, regular colon hydrotherapy is extremely necessary in balancing your gut microbes AND ultimately is more cost effective and time efficient if you do it on the front end rather than waiting for months trying to do battle with just probiotics and diet. I LOVE this clever cartooner, and this particular edition of his art is no exception. Grab a plate of broiled kale chips and sit down to enjoy: http://keybiotics.com/video_toon26b.php

Erin DudleyUnderstand Your Body on a Cellular Level

 

Have you ever wondered if what you are eating is actually absorbed in your cells? What does that number on the scale really mean? As a nutritionist, many people come to me in hopes to lose weight and reduce that pesky number. I rarely use the scale in order to give me the answer of my clients' health. It's incredibly important to look deeper and understand that the scale is just a number.


Instead I use a very accurate, safe, easy tool to really de-mystify the intricacies of the body. It's called the
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). With the BIA, I am able to get a more accurate measure of your Complete Body Composition, including your lean body mass, your muscle and fat. The BIA also measures your cell membrane. This lets me know if you are able to absorb nutrients inside your cell and your ability to detox harmful substances, such as pollution, out of your cells. The BIA also measures your Basal Metabolic Rate which measures how many calories you burn during a 24-hour period. And that's not all! The BIA will tell us how hydrated you are by measuring your total body water and also how you hold your water. We all have water inside and outside of our cells. If we don't have enough water inside our cells, our cells will not communicate properly which can cause brain fog, fatigue, weight gain and much more. When we have too much water outside the cell, this is a sign of toxicity and inflammation in the body.  

Once I have your BIA results, I will design a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan the meets your individual needs. I then will re-test every 3 weeks to track the changes and improvements over time.

Here's a snap shot of the numbers...
