131 Method

Health is something I am very passionate about and is one reason I chose to go into clinical research as a career. However, it pains me to see how misguided society has become in regards to nutrition and food. It's estimated that 80% of the population suffers from "leaky gut" and even more have inflammation. I love the 131 Method because it takes back the word 'diet' to educate you and truly help you learn which foods will help your unique body to heal itself, balance hormones, reduce inflammation (and yes, lose weight). Use this link below to learn more about the program, which includes Registered Dietitians at your fingertips! Some of the before and after pictures are amazing not just because of weight loss, but also visible improvements in skin conditions. Take a look for yourself!

Obesity and Undernutrition Part of Global Syndemic?

Popular health journal, The Lancet,  has launched a commission and lengthy report calling out obesity, undernutrition and climate change as creating a global syndemic (think pandemic, but multiple large-scale risks all occurring at the same time).  Obesity and undernutrition will be the focus of this post. It may seem odd that two seemingly opposites are such large problems. We may think that obesity is associated with developed countries and undernutrition with developing countries, but both are really affecting the whole world. Someone can be obese while also being malnourished if they are not consuming nutrient dense foods. In fact, obesity is estimated to affect over 2 billion people world wide. That's over a quarter of the entire global population. Furthermore, obesity and it's affects are the 3 out of 4 leading causes of non-communicable diseases around the world. (1) All of this is nothing new and groups and governments have tried and failed to address these iss...

Inflammation: The Leading Cause to Many Diseases

It's becoming more accepted that inflammation is the leading cause of many, if not all, diseases. An increasing number of drugs and therapies are being developed to block the inflammatory processes to treat or prevent many diseases including cancers, infectious diseases and auto-immune disorders. (1) What is inflammation anyways? To summarize the process, the inflammatory response starts with the delivery of blood components, plasma and leukocytes, to the site of an infection or tissue injury. These components are normally restricted to blood vessels but now are able to access the other tissues outside of those vessels at the site of infection or injury. At this point, neutrophils (another blood component) become activated and have a goal of killing the invading agents by releasing toxic contents that are contained within them. The problem here is that neutrophils can't distinguish between the infected/injured tissues and healthy host tissue so damage is done to both. A repai...

The Best Guacamole Recipe

I've come to love guacamole and it's an easy way for me to get healthy fats more often. I used to hate it, but it was because the kinds I had tried previously were chunky or the recipes weren't quite right. I still don't really like sliced avocado because of the texture, but love this guacamole since it's mashed up completely and mixed with other tasty things like jalapeños and cilantro! Without further ado, here's the recipe we usually stick with: 3 avocados mashed - it's much easier when you let the avocados ripen and get softer before making the guac. I use a potato masher. 2 small jalapeños seeded and diced - you can add more or less to your taste, but we like it with more of a kick. For a different kick, try 1/2 a poblano pepper instead! 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped - again, you can add more or less to your taste but we love cilantro! 2 roma tomatoes diced 1/2 red onion 1 juiced lime 1 clove garlic minced pinch of salt Mix it all up ...
