The Nutritional Key to Reversing Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Inflammation · Revealing Wholeness with Dr.Troy

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. This is an interesting article.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It surprises me sometimes when I read an article and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: they really don't tell us anything. I keep thinking, do
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: people really just read these articles? And does it really
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: mean anything to them? Do they get something out of it?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Do they walk away thinking, oh great, I understand it
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: so much better now. And I'm thinking this is crazy.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: This article is entitled what you should Know about Metabolic
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Syndrome Carently they don't think you should know very much.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But I find it interesting that because of metabolic syndrome
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: they never even really talked about metabolism whatsoever. They said
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: here that it's a group of related health problems too
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: much belly fat, high triglycerides, cholesterol trouble, whatever that means
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: high blood pressure and high blood sugar. I'm thinking that's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: metabolic syndrome. But you didn't even talk about any metabolic things.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: You just listed a bunch of body types and how
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: if you have three or more of them, you might
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: have heart problems, and therefore you think it might be
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: metabolic syndrome. And of course they go through and they
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: talk about waste, that you might have a waste if
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you're a woman that's more than thirty five inches and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you might look like a pear shape, or a man
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: who has a fourty inch waist and he's got an apple.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And I've talked at lengths in other podcasts about what
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: what does it really mean to have a wist to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: hip ratio? Waist hip ratio at about zero point eight
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to one is acceptable and even a little bit bigger.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So let's say that I'm a woman out there and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I have a waist that's really narrow, and I have
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: nice big glutes. Okay, well, my waist hip ratio is
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: probably okay for a man. Sometimes you'll see a man
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: who's got a pretty big belly, but he's got you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: huge glutes. Now oftentimes you'll see the beer drinkers have
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: no butt at all and have a big belly, that,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: my friend, would probably be a metabolic issue. So we
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: can't just go off of waste measurements and whether you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: think you look like a pear shape or an apple shape.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And for those out there that are pear shaped, you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: probably already have had a doctor say hey, we should
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: check your thyroid because a pear shape is kind of
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a thyroid problem, which is a metabolic problem. And so
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that later another podcasts, But I digress.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: The next thing they said was, hi, triglyrides. Though they
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: listed triglyrides, if you have them over one fifty, that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: not good. And I thought, but you didn't even tell
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: them what triglyrides technically are, and so they just said
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that it was kind of a fat I'm thinking, well, yes,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: but where did it come from? It came from all
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the sugar that you're eating, and ultimately higher than one fifty.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, by the time you get to one fifty,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: my friend, it's way way too much sugar you've been eating.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So when we look at triglysrides, we like them under
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: one hundred, but not under seventy. If they're under seventy.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It actually kind of confirms another type of thyroid problem,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and you can get a double confirmation if you have
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a cholesterol that's under one eighty. We start to get
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: real nervous about thyroid issues. And yet most medical doctors,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: they would like your cholesterol at least under one to eighty,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and some of them, I think, would like it at zero,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: though I can't imagine why. They obviously do not understand
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: cholesterol's importance. So the next marker they talk about is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: two little triglycerides. Excuse me, two little HDLs. So HDLs
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: what are HDL's high density lipoproteins? They call them here
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: good cholesterol. I really do not like that term at all.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I tend to really get irritated by HDL being good
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: because then they vilify LDLs. And as I've said on
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: many a podcast, HDLs carry cholesterol from the cells to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the liver to be disposed of if there's too much.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But HDLs, excuse me, LDLs carry it from the liver
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to the cells so that the cells can have their
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: cholesterol and may hormone repair if there's damage. Let's say
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you've had a surgery or you've somehow fallen and broken
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a bone or lacerated your finger with a knife. Okay,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: well you need to heal, and so you need a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: little extra cholesterol. Race car drivers for thirty days after
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a race, they'll have elevated cholesterol because of the high
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: stress of those three to four hours of race. Well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: is that then something I should really stare at. Is
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: LDLs and HDLs? Probably not so much. Let's put a
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: little less importance on them and at least say, okay, well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you know you should have a decent amount of HDLs.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: That does tell us that you're eating good fats. LDLs
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: are okay unless they're excessive, and now you might be
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: eating poor quality fats like fast food and vegetable oils
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and things that you shouldn't remember you're not a vegetable,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: though some people out there can resemble that. I tongue
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in cheeked digress. We can all giggle. So if you're
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not a vegetable, then you probably ought to be eating
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: fats that are a little bit more designed for animals,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: which I do recommend, and butter being an excellent source.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: They said, high fasting blood sugar. Well, yes, but that
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: goes right along with the triglycerides. Yet they didn't even
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: link the two and talk about it. But here they
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: finally at least said, hey, anything over a hundred on
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a fasting blood sugar could lead to metabolic syndrome. Well,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you could be well on your way by that time.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: At one hundred, then they said high blood pressure, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of course they gave the wonderful number of one thirty
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: over eighty five. If it's higher than that, you could
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: have metabolic syndrome. Be on your way well. And as
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we've talked about, is as we age, our blood pressure
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: naturally goes up. That one twenty over eighty, that magic
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: number that they would like you to have. That's normal
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: for a twenty five year old, not necessarily a sixty
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: year old. Though I might get some flak because if
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you check my blood pressure and I'm in my mid fifties,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: it's one. It's the one high teens. Well, let's say
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: one seventeen over like a seventy six. That's typically where
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I run. But is it actually normal for me? Should
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: my blood pressure be possibly a little bit higher than
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that maybe I'm lacking calcium and perhaps
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I don't have enough B vitamins. Maybe I don't have
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: enough protein and I'm kind of slight of build. Maybe
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it's true, maybe I have some issues with that particular
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: blood pressure. Until you know, instead of saying and bragging
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to everybody, Hey, I'm in my mid fifties and I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: have one seventeen over seventy six, Look how good I am. No,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: we do want to question everything and have things do
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: make sense. They give the at least the indicator saying, hey,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: if you've got high blood pressure, you may want to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: exercise more and quit smoking and possibly have a low
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: salt diet. I'm thinking they're still talking about a low
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: sodium diet that's wonderful. That's about twenty years outdated. So
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: what causes metabolic syndom? Then they try to at least
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: tell you that it's possibly your genes. Well, I have
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: news for you. If you do enough things in your
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: environment that are not so good for you, your genes
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: will activate genes that try to adapt and to at
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: least help and limp along a system when you're not
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: taking very good care of it. So the environment absolutely
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: makes genes become active or go dormant, and make healthy
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: genes active. If you do things correctly and if you're
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: kind of wondering did he just say what I think
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: he said. Yes, if you do things in your diet
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that are not good for you, the genes will turn
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: on that produce disease because some of those diseases are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: actually trying to adapt to your lifestyle, and so the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: environment actually stimulates gene expression and gene regression or shut down.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So when we're really doing healthy things, healthy genes turn on.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: When we're doing not so good things, genes have to
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: turn on to try to adapt to this crappy lifestyle
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: that we have. And then we get upset now that
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I have plaque in my arteries, or I've got higher
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: blood pressure, or I can't remember anymore, or I'm getting
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a tire around my mid section. That's all adaptation of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: your genes trying to adapt to what you're doing to it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And so instead of pointing at these external things as
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I am pear shaped, I smoke, I now have high
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: blood pressure, my blood sugar is too high, and they
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: recommend at the end, your doctor might be able to
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: put you on some medication that will help. I'm thinking,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: why why would we recommend a drug that is naturally
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: toxifying to a body to try to help it in
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: its deficient state. Why wouldn't we try to reply what
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the body is asking for and trying to tell us,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and say, look, I am lacking some serious nutrients here.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Would you at least give me some real food so
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I can start healing and shed some of this weight
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and start fixing my blood sugar and start removing these
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: plaques from my arteries and start healing my brain tissue
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and my liver tissue and my kidney tissue and all
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: these other tissues I need so desperately, these nutrients that
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: you are that you are leaving out of your diet.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And yet I don't know why we don't think that way,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: but we're starting to, and that's good. So then they said,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: well you should stay active. Guess how much exercise you
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: should do every day? Thirty minutes. I'm thinking I aint
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: could do thirty minutes exercise every day now, two or
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: three days a week. You'll find me out on a
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: pick a ball court playing for an hour and a half.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna do any more than that because
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I know I'm more sore when I do that. I'm
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: going to take and pace myself a little bit more.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The older I get I used to be able to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: play volleyball for twelve hours a day. I don't do
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that anymore. And the reason that I probably can only
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: do ninety minutes now is because it didn't take care
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of myself then. And you want me to exercise more
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and think it's going to be better for me. Exercise
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: produces fitness, it does not produce health. In order to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: do that much energy exchange in your body requires a
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: lot of new tree density. So before you go run
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: out there and run, you may want to look more
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in depth at your diet and your dietary choices and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: really start feeding your tissues a lot better so that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: your cells can withstand the punishment you're getting ready to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: inflict upon them in the form of exercise. Just a
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: word of wisdom out there. Next, of course, they said
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: watch your weight. I'm like, really, you you just okay? Yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I got it, watch it? Do what? And so instead
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: of saying watch your weight, why didn't they say, hey,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you should possibly eat some really good fats and some
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: good quality proteins that aren't overcooked, and maybe some vegetables
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: that maybe have low lectin contents so that you're not
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: doing things that are allergies that can complicate your metabolic syndrome.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: And let's move a little bit. We don't have to
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: do strenuous physical activity, but we could do some walking
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: for fifteen twenty minutes or maybe just twelve minutes. If
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you don't have the energy to walk that far, do
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you have the energy to walk five minutes? Great? Do it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Other causes. They talked about inflammation throughout the body, and
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: in all this time they still didn't necessarily talk about
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: food choices. They might have recommended some things here or there,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: but they really didn't talk about it. And then they said,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a fatty liver if you have inflammation, is too many
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: triglists and other fats in the liver. But they didn't
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: tell you what to do to help. They didn't tell
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: you to go eat liver or start eating small amounts
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: of beets and beet greens, not large amounts. Because you
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: might feel pretty sick. You probably odd to take some
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: beats which have a beautiful b vitamin called betane that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: thins bile channels through the liver and now begins to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: clean the liver of all the fat. And while you're
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: at it, why don't you eat a lot less hyphrotose
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: corn syrup, which is what's probably creating the faty liver.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And if you are drinking a lot, you may want
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: to relax a little bit on that too. And if
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you're like, I don't know how to stop, I think
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I'm addicted, I might be an alcoholic. Well, it is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a sugar addiction. And with a sugar addiction, you're usually
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: lacking B vitamins. And B vitamins help the heart pump
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: as well as produce energy in the body and then
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: begin to burn, burn fat and burn sell garbage out
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: of the cells. And so if we start eating a
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: higher quality of fats and reducing the sugar, and at
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: least if we're gonna do sugar, let's do a higher
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: quality sugar, not a crappy hyphrutose corn syrup. Let's do
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: something like a dextrose in small amounts that's real sugar
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: or brown sugar, real dextrose, not glucose that's colored brown.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: We could be doing some things like black strap molasses,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: which is everything we need to process sugars in the body.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And isn't it unusual that black strap molasses would have
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: all kinds of B vitamins and calcium and copper and
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: trace minerals and magnesium and everything we would need in
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: potassium to try to help process sugars and undo metabolic syndrome.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: They didn't mention any of that. They mentioned polycystical varian
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: syndrome for crime out loud, And yet here we have
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: a rampant mineral deficiency in a woman's body, and so
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: now they cannot control how much testosterone they're producing, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: so now they get cysts on their over and so
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: they don't know to tell them to do copper and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: zinc and trace minerals, and let's begin working with your
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: body and help it clean out and work on your
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: metabolic syndrome, and work on your sugar intake and work
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: on your nutrient density so that you can let go
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of these cysts and start having healthy eggs and maybe
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: even have children if you want them. Then they talk
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: about gallstones, Well, what do we think happens when we
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: don't eat foods rich and betane like beats? We begin
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to thicken bile channels, and that thickened bile sits in
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the gallbladder and it begins to form stones. But they
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: didn't tell anybody to eat beats. And liver sleep apnea,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: stopping breathing over and over because there's so much inflammation
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and congestion in your lungs and your chest cavity that
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you just can't breathe normally. So we've got a lot
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: of things to fix her in a metabolic syndrome. And
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: it's not just understanding a couple of things and saying
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: you need to exercise and maybe lose some weight. There's
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of things at work in this body, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: it doesn't take a lot of know how to say,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe I should eat some whole, rich, nutrient
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: dense foods, and maybe that would help my body begin
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to heal and clean out better and feel better and
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: look better. And maybe my skin would look better, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: my liver would be happier, and my kidneys would be happier,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and my heart would be happier, and my blood vessels
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: would be happier, and I wouldn't think every day, am
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I going to have a stroke? And stroke out? Today
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: is today my day? And I could actually start living
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: life a little bit better and knowing that my blood
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: vessels might be a little bit healthier with some whole
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: vitamin C and whole vitamin E and whole B vitamins,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and in fact, I feel more energetic, and my memory
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: feels better, and I just overall feel good. That would
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: be a better solution than reading this dry article that
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't give us really much of any information to do
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: anything with. So I lament, and I am searching for
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: better and better articles of somebody who can actually tell
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: us something whise. So until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: and remember there is way more right with you than
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: wrong with you.
