Achieve Optimal Health Today
Welcome to Our Metabolic Health Health Consulting
No matter what your purpose for adopting a metabolic health approach to wellness these are the basic things you should strive for:
1. Avoid refined sugar, starches, and refined grains.
2. Avoid ultra processed foods.
3. Do eat good, whole foods such as meat, fish, and above-ground vegetables
4. Avoid highly processed vegetable and seed oils
5. Do use olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, butter and ghee
6. Practice time restricted eating or intermittent fasting and allow at least 14 hours when your eating window is over until the next
7. Avoid snacking between meals. Eat when you're hungry; don't when you're not.
8. Get adequate sleep and reduce stress (easier said than done, but so important)
9. Do not underestimate the power of exercise! Resistance training at minimum twice a week and other activities to improve or maintain VO2 Max is as potent an intervention as anything else.
We can get highly nuanced about each of these points. The fact of the matter is that there is no one-size-fits-all diet and exercise prescription for everyone’s needs. If weight loss is your goal, you may want to limit carbohydrates to less than 20 to 30 g per day, e.g., the ketogenic diet. This is been shown to help type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, GERD, and many other medical conditions. However, if you are on medications we highly recommend doing this in partnership with your physician.
We will help you with an assessment and measure the problems, if any, and provide knowledge to move forward. You may be on the right path, or you may need small or major course corrections. We provide the information to help you decide on the direction of your best healthy life.
If you are not ready to fully take the plunge, you will still see benefits in health and wellness by following these principles.
Throughout the course of this website, we will be highlighting resources to learn all about these basic points in many different formats that best suits your personal style of learning. It really is that simple. It has worked for us and countless others.
