6 Simple Ways to Your Metabolism-Cslogo Discover Your WHY and Stick to It “He who has a WHY to live for can bear with almost any how.” Victor Frankl What is Metabolism? When scientists talk about metabolism, they are referring to mitochondria. You have trillions of little energy factories called mitochondria that provide the fuel to run everything in your body. Mitochondria decides if you store fat or burn fat. They decide whether a cell lives or dies or turns into cancer. They call the shots as to what happens to us on a daily basis. Effective mitochondria = a fast metabolism and calories burned efficiently Ineffective mitochondria = a slow metabolism and no calories burned Want a Strong Body and a Powerful Mind? It starts with your cells! Weight loss resistance is an epidemic. It’s a cellular issue. The key is to fix the cell to get well. Healthy mitochondria on the left Unhealthy mitochondria on the right. Think Your Metabolism Could Use a Boost? • Ongoing fatigue • Mood disorders like anxiety and depression • Struggling to lose weight • Frequently urinating • Cold body temperature, frequently feeling cold • Excessive thirst and dry mouth • Thinning hair on your head • Trouble concentrating or brain fog • Cracked, dry skin • Allergies and hypersensitivities • Low libido and poor sexual health • Low energy levels • Irregular periods • Low motivation for physical activity • Slow-growing, brittle fingernails • Getting sick more often: when you have a • Premature aging sluggish metabolism, the body’s natural defense mechanisms and levels of immunity • Trouble sleeping through the night drop and you become more susceptible to • Obesity lurking viruses, yeasts, fungi, parasites, and bacteria that surround us • Constipation and slow-moving bowels • Bloating after eating What Damages the Metabolism? • Aging- From Ages 30-70 mitochondria efficiency decreases by 50%! This means that the average 70 year old is making half the cellular energy as the average 30 year old. 50% decline in your energy level is considered “normal.” Not good! • Environmental toxins impact your mitochondria like pesticides, mercury (mercury fillings) and radiation, as well as hidden infections and stress can harm your energy system. • Your gut microbiome can even be a problem if unhealthy, inflammatory bugs outnumber the good bugs. The biggest hit comes from DIET When you eat a lot of sugar and processed, inflammatory foods, including refined oils, or simply consume too much food period, you overload your energy factories and damage production. ReTHINK Calories The most powerful tool you have to change your health is your fork. Food is not just calories. Food contains information that talks to your genes, turning them on or off & affecting their function moment to moment. What Is A Calorie Anyway? A calorie is a unit of energy in food. There are three basic types of foods: PROTEIN FATS CARBOHYDRATES 4 calories per gram 9 calories per gram 4 calories per gram fat burning neutral fat making Purpose of Each Type of Calorie PROTEIN: to replace FATS: to build body tissues. CARBOHYDRATES: Depending on the type of carbohydrates, and rebuild body The outer part of every single it will either cause you to make fat or burn fat. tissue, muscle, cell wall is made from fat.

In other optimally. storage. words, fat doesn’t turn into fat The purpose of nutrition is to allow the raw material to be if it’s from healthy sources. Fat converted to body tissue, to allow that egg that you eat to is used as an energy source to be turned into your hair you need vitamins and minerals at satisfy hunger. the DNA level and that’s why we have these nutrients, to repair and rebuild body tissue Calorie Counting Model – No, No If you’re basing your diet on a calorie counting model, you’ll tend to choose carbs (”I’ll just walk off that donut!”) and avoid fats because carbs are less in calories. However, the insulin (sugar) response from something such as a donut can last up to 2-4 days! A little bit of the wrong thing could nullify a lot of good things. Not All Calories Are Created Equal Not all calories are created equal. A Twinkie has 150 calories but so do 22 almonds. It’s about the quality of the calories consumed. This is the KEY to optimizing mitochondria and metabolism. Before you buy, make, or eat something, first ask yourself, “How is this food going to make me feel if I eat it?”, rather than, “how is it going to taste?”. Eat Healthy Fats Toxic Fats When selecting oils make sure that they are In a dark glass bottle, organic, first-pressed, cold-pressed, extra virgin, and unrefined. Problem with plastics- leaching, plus being exposed to light-/heat in travel/warehouses oxidized fats Terms to avoid are: expeller-pressed, refined, and solvent extracted. The Benefits of Saturated Fats • About 97% of the fat content in the human body is saturated. • Saturated fatty acids constitute at least 50% of the cell membranes. This is what gives our cells necessary stiffness and integrity. • They play a vital role in the health of our bones. For calcium to be effectively incorporated into the skeletal structure, at least 50% of the dietary fats need to be saturated. • They lower Lp(a), a substance in the blood that indicates proneness to heart disease. • They protect the liver from alcohol and other toxins, such as Tylenol. • They enhance the immune system. • Omega-3 fatty acids are better retained in the tissues when the diet is rich in saturated fats. • Saturated fat foods are good for the heart, which is why the fat around the heart muscle is highly saturated. The heart draws on this reserve of fat in times of stress. • Saturated fatty acids protect us against harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract. Butter, Truly a Super Food! 1. Butter is real food that our ancestors have been eating for generations. 2. Butter doesn’t require any heavy processing at all. You could even make it in your own kitchen if you wanted. 3. Unlike margarine, which has only oxidized oils and other ingredients that you probably can’t pronounce, real butter, from grass-fed cows, has enough nutrients that it could be called a superfood. Some ancient cultures actually revered butter as a sacred, life-giving food. 4. The fatty acids in butter stimulate the release of bile, which allows absorption of vitamins, and eliminates toxins and old hormones from the body. 5. The fats in butter slow down the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. Carbohydrate consumption should always be paired with a source of healthy fats, like butter, to improve blood sugar stability. 6. High in CLA- Conjugated Linoleic Acid- butter reduces fat, builds muscle, and keeps cholesterol in check. 7. Butter has the X Factor, Activator X, to be exact! Vitamin K2 works synergistically with calcium and vitamin D to help move calcium into the proper areas in your body, such as your bones and teeth. New studies show increased consumption of K2 may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 35%! Feedlot cows have virtually no K2 in their butter. Dairy from pasture-grazing cows is rich in K2 and other fat-soluble vitamins. Your Mitochondria’s Preferred Fuel – Healthy Fats! What About Cholesterol? After waging a 30-year war against cholesterol, the government and the American Heart Association reversed their stance on this vital compound. In 2015, the US Department of Health’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reversed its previous ruling on cholesterol, announcing that, “Cholesterol is NOT considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” “This recommendation is brought forth because available evidence shows no relationship between the consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol.” US Department of Health’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 2015 Cholesterol-LDL vs HDL The confusion comes in the labeling of LDL as “bad cholesterol” and HDL as “good cholesterol.” For example, not all LDL cholesterol is created equal: • The large, fluffy LDL particles are benign. • The small, dense LDL is correlated to heart disease Sources of saturated fats (like butter, animal fats, and coconut oil) change the dense LDL to fluffy LDL and raise HDL (good cholesterol). BOTH health protective factors! Processed grains (like cereal) and vegetable oils, turn the fluffy LDL into dense LDL, increasing the risk of heart disease. Correct Cholesterol Testing-Prevention VS Reaction It isn’t only the quantity of LDL circulating in your blood, it’s the quality. Vertical Auto Profile (VAP) Test This test will analyze your LDL cholesterol and determine if it is made up of predominantly the small, dangerous particles or the larger, more benign particles. • Large, fluffy particles, which are not dangerous • OR small, dense particles (known as “LDL-pattern-B”) that are dangerous.They TRIPLE the likelihood of developing coronary plaque and suffering a heart attack If it turns out that your LDL cholesterol is mostly of the small, dense variety, you will want to address your cholesterol levels much more aggressively than if your LDL cholesterol is mostly the large, fluffy type.

  • Arenicola Marina During Low Tide
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published June 15 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Sulfide stress and tolerance in the lugworm Arenicola marina during low tide Susanne Volkel, Kerstin Hauschild, Manfred K. Grieshaber Institut fiir Zoologie, Lehrstuhl fur Tierphysiologie, Heinrich-Heine-Universitat, Universitatsstr. 1, D-40225 Dusseldorf, Germany ABSTRACT: In the present study environmental sulfide concentrations in the vicinity of and within burrows of the lugworm Arenicola marina during tidal exposure are presented. Sulfide concentrations in the pore water of the sediment ranged from 0.4 to 252 pM. During 4 h of tidal exposure no significant changes of pore water sulfide concentrations were observed. Up to 32 pM sulfide were measured in the water of lugworm burrows. During 4 h of low tide the percentage of burrows containing sulfide increased from 20 to 50% in July and from 36 to 77% in October A significant increase of median sulfide concentrations from 0 to 14.5 pM was observed after 5 h of emersion. Sulfide and thiosulfate concentrations in the coelomic fluid and succinate, alanopine and strombine levels in the body wall musculature of freshly caught A. marina were measured. During 4 h of tidal exposure in July the percentage of lugworms containing sulfide and maximal sulfide concentrations increased from 17 % and 5.4 pM to 62% and 150 pM, respectively. A significant increase of median sulfide concentrations was observed after 2 and 3 h of emersion. In October, changes of sulfide concentrations were less pronounced. Median thiosulfate concentrations were 18 to 32 FM in July and 7 to 12 ~.IMin October No significant changes were observed during tidal exposure.

  • Biotransformation: Basic Concepts (1)
    Chapter 5 Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination of Toxics Biotransformation: Basic Concepts (1) • Renal excretion of chemicals Biotransformation: Basic Concepts (2) • Biological basis for xenobiotic metabolism: – To convert lipid-soluble, non-polar, non-excretable forms of chemicals to water-soluble, polar forms that are excretable in bile and urine. – The transformation process may take place as a result of the interaction of the toxic substance with enzymes found primarily in the cell endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. – The liver is the primary organ where biotransformation occurs. Biotransformation: Basic Concepts (3) Biotransformation: Basic Concepts (4) • Interaction with these enzymes may change the toxicant to either a less or a more toxic form. • Generally, biotransformation occurs in two phases. – Phase I involves catabolic reactions that break down the toxicant into various components. • Catabolic reactions include oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis. – Oxidation occurs when a molecule combines with oxygen, loses hydrogen, or loses one or more electrons. – Reduction occurs when a molecule combines with hydrogen, loses oxygen, or gains one or more electrons. – Hydrolysis is the process in which a chemical compound is split into smaller molecules by reacting with water. • In most cases these reactions make the chemical less toxic, more water soluble, and easier to excrete. Biotransformation: Basic Concepts (5) – Phase II reactions involves the binding of molecules to either the original toxic molecule or the toxic molecule metabolite derived from the Phase I reactions. The final product is usually water soluble and, therefore, easier to excrete from the body. • Phase II reactions include glucuronidation, sulfation, acetylation, methylation, conjugation with glutathione, and conjugation with amino acids (such as glycine, taurine, and glutamic acid).

  • Upwelling As a Source of Nutrients for the Great Barrier Reef Ecosystems: a Solution to Darwin's Question?
    Vol. 8: 257-269, 1982 MARINE ECOLOGY - PROGRESS SERIES Published May 28 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. / I Upwelling as a Source of Nutrients for the Great Barrier Reef Ecosystems: A Solution to Darwin's Question? John C. Andrews and Patrick Gentien Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville 4810, Queensland, Australia ABSTRACT: The Great Barrier Reef shelf ecosystem is examined for nutrient enrichment from within the seasonal thermocline of the adjacent Coral Sea using moored current and temperature recorders and chemical data from a year of hydrology cruises at 3 to 5 wk intervals. The East Australian Current is found to pulsate in strength over the continental slope with a period near 90 d and to pump cold, saline, nutrient rich water up the slope to the shelf break. The nutrients are then pumped inshore in a bottom Ekman layer forced by periodic reversals in the longshore wind component. The period of this cycle is 12 to 25 d in summer (30 d year round average) and the bottom surges have an alternating onshore- offshore speed up to 10 cm S-'. Upwelling intrusions tend to be confined near the bottom and phytoplankton development quickly takes place inshore of the shelf break. There are return surface flows which preserve the mass budget and carry silicate rich Lagoon water offshore while nitrogen rich shelf break water is carried onshore. Upwelling intrusions penetrate across the entire zone of reefs, but rarely into the Lagoon. Nutrition is del~veredout of the shelf thermocline to the living coral of reefs by localised upwelling induced by the reefs.

  • Ocean Life, Bioenergetics and Metabolism
    Ocean life, bioenergetics and metabolism Biological Oceanography (OCN 621) Matthew Church (MSB 612) Ecosystems are hierarchically organized • Atoms → Molecules → Cells → Organisms→ Populations→ Communities • This organizational system dictates the pathways that energy and material travel through a system. • Cells are the lowest level of structure capable of performing ALL the functions of life. Classification of life Two primary cellular forms • Prokaryotes: lack internal membrane-bound organelles. Genetic information is not separated from other cell functions. Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotes. Note however this does not imply these divisions of life are closely related. • Eukaryotes: membrane-bound organelles (nucleus, mitochrondrion, etc .). Compartmentalization (organization) of different cellular functions allows sequential intracellular activities In the ocean, microscopic organisms account for >50% of the living biomass. Controls on types of organisms, abundances, distributions • Habitat: The physical/chemical setting or characteristics of a particular environment, e.g., light vs. dark, cold vs. warm, high vs. low pressure • Each marine habitat supports a somewhat predictable assemblage of organisms that collectively make up the community, e.g., rocky intertidal community, coral reef community, abyssobenthic community • The structure and function of the individuals/populations in these communities arise from evolution and selective adaptations in response to the habitat characteristics • Niche: The role of a particular organism in an integrated community •The ocean is not homogenous: spatial and temporal variability in habitats Clearly distinguishable ocean habitats with elevated “plant” biomass in regions where nutrients are elevated The ocean is stirred more than mixed Sea Surface Temperature Chl a (°C) (mg m-3) Spatial discontinuities at various scales (basin, mesoscale, microscale) in ocean habitats play important roles in controlling plankton growth and distributions.

    Transcript: Interview with Neal Barnard pcrm.org Interview by Mark Hyman, MD drhyman.com Copyright Hyman Digital, LLC 2016 1 Dr. Hyman: Hi this is Dr. Mark Hyman. Welcome to the Fat Summit, your chance to separate fat from fiction. And we're here with my friend and amazing physician, Dr. Neal Barnard who's been in my radar for a long time as one of the leading thinkers in how to actually use food as medicine to reverse disease, and he's been doing this for a long, long time. He looks very young, but he's ac- tually older than I am, and it's a testament to his eating a really healthy diet. So Dr. Neal Barnard is the President of the Physicians Committee for Responsi- ble Medicine. He has led programs in preventive medicine, nutrition and ethical standards in research. He's a professor, an adjunct professor at George Wash- ington University School of Medicine. He's written over 70 scientific publica- tions, many of which I've read and about 17 books , including the "Power of Food" book, "Power of Foods for the Brain" and the "21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart" which were New York Times best sellers. So he's also a very active guy in policy and we've even collaborated on a num- ber of things, recently the ENRICH Act where I was with some of your team in Washington. We were helping to kick it off, which is to fund nutrition educa- tion for doctors. What a concept, that doctors should learn about nutrition.

  • Buoyancy Does Not Affect Diving Metabolism During Shallow Dives in Steller Sea Lions Eumetopias Jubatus
    Vol. 3: 147–154, 2008 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Published online July 29, 2008 doi: 10.3354/ab00074 Aquat Biol OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS Buoyancy does not affect diving metabolism during shallow dives in Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus A.

Trites1 1Marine Mammal Research Unit, Fisheries Centre, Room 247, AERL—Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada 2National Institute of Polar Research, 1-9-10 Kaga, Itabashi, Tokyo 173-8515, Japan 3Present address: Sea Mammal Research Unit, Gatty Marine Laboratory, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 8LB, UK ABSTRACT: Changes in buoyancy due to seasonal or abnormal changes in body composition are thought to significantly affect the energy budget of marine mammals through changes in diving costs. We assessed how changes in body composition might alter the foraging efficiency of Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus by artificially adjusting the buoyancy of trained individuals. PVC tubes were attached to harnesses worn by Steller sea lions that had been trained to feed at fixed depths (10 to 30 m) and to resurface inside a metabolic dome. Buoyancy was altered to simulate the naturally occurring differences in body composition reported in adult females (~12 to 26% subcutaneous fat). Diving characteristics (transit times and time at depth) and aerobic energy expenditure (gas exchange) were measured. We found that foraging cost decreased with the duration of the dive and increased with dive depth. However, changes in body composition did not affect the diving metabolic rate of Steller sea lions for dives between 10 and 30 m.
