Insulin Resistance and Syndrome X• Abdominal obesity is the form of obesity most strongly associated with the metabolic syndrome. It presents clinically as

increased waist circumference.

• Atherogenic dyslipidemia manifests in routine lipoprotein analysis by raised triglycerides and low concentrations of HDL cholesterol. A more detailed analysis usually reveals other lipoprotein abnormalities, eg, increased remnant lipoproteins, elevated apolipoprotein B, small LDL particles, and small HDL particles. All of these abnormalities have been implicated as being independently atherogenic.

• Elevated blood pressure strongly associates with obesity and commonly occurs in insulin-resistant persons. Hypertension thus

commonly is listed among metabolic risk factors. However, some investigators believe that hypertension is less "metabolic" than other metabolic-syndrome components. Certainly, hypertension is multifactorial in origin. For example, increasing arterial

stiffness contributes significantly to systolic hypertension in the elderly. Even so, most conference participants favored inclusion of elevated blood pressure as one component of the metabolic syndrome.

• Insulin resistance is present in the majority of people with the metabolic syndrome. It strongly associates with other metabolic

risk factors and correlates univariately with CVD risk. These associations, combined with belief in its priority, account for the term insulin resistance syndrome. Even so, mechanisms underlying the link to CVD risk factors are uncertain, hence the ATP III’s classification of insulin resistance as an emerging risk factor. Patients with longstanding insulin resistance frequently manifest glucose intolerance, another emerging risk factor. When glucose intolerance evolves into diabetes-level hyperglycemia, elevated glucose constitutes a major, independent risk factor for CVD.

• A proinflammatory state, recognized clinically by elevations of C-reactive protein (CRP), is commonly present in persons with metabolic syndrome. Multiple mechanisms seemingly underlie elevations of CRP. One cause is obesity, because excess adipose

tissue releases inflammatory cytokines that may elicit higher CRP levels.

• A prothrombotic state, characterized by increased plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and fibrinogen, also associates

with the metabolic syndrome. Fibrinogen, an acute-phase reactant like CRP, rises in response to a high-cytokine state. Thus,

prothrombotic and proinflammatory states may be metabolically interconnected.

Why Does Insulin Matter?• Insulin is the “storage hormone” THRIFTY GENE• takes good cholesterol (HDL) and turns it into (LDL) and

Tryglycerides• Increases belly fat = inflammation • Increases inflammation• Increases blood pressure• Poor nutrient status and lots of sugar and carbs creates

insulin resistance where your cells don’t hear or don’t process insulin’s message so your pancreas makes MORE, and more, and more! This is the problem (syndrome X, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance) you MUST reverse!– Multivitamin or nutrient dense medical food– Pure, Clean, and Safe fish oil to improve insulin signaling

Tests• Glucose (alone or part of metabolic panel) want in 80’s or

below. • Fasting Insulin – ideal at 2 or below • HgA1C – below 6• Lipid Panel– Triglyceride/HDL ratio (2 or less is considered ideal

4 – high, 6 - much too high)• C-Reactive Protein (systemic inflammation)• Ferritin - important independent risk factor for heart

disease• Waist circumference– women 31 inches = slight health risk, over 35 inches =

substantially increased health risk. – Men - Waist of over 37 inches = slight health risk. Over 40

inches = substantially increased health risk.

Insulin Resistant Brain Cells Have More Plaque

Sugar in the blood stimulates secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin binds to receptors on the membrane, triggering intracellular communication.

Page 9: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

These vesicles fuse to the membrane surface and provide transport for sugar into the cells to be utilized for the production of energy by the mitochondria.

The insulin signal on the membrane’s surface stimulates production and mobilization of vesicles containing specialized GLUT 4 molecules, responsible for membrane uptake of sugar.

Page 10: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

GLUT-4 is the main insulin sensitive transport protein embedded in the cell membrane and is responsible for transporting glucose into the cell.

Stimuli like insulin and exercise cause it to move to, and become active by embedding in, the cell membrane.Impairment of insulin stimulated movement of GLUT-4 is the most obvious cause of insulin resistance.

Page 11: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

Receptors on the nuclear membrane (PPAR Alpha and Gamma), activated by certain fatty acids, regulate gene expression that contributes to proper glucose homeostasis and energy production in the mitochondria.

Page 12: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) binds to PPAR Gamma and Alpha, stimulating nuclear transcription. The agents produced as a result are key to proper glucose homeostasis and energy production.

Page 13: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

An unhealthy diet, high in refined carbohydrates, causes rapid elevation of blood sugar. The pancreas responds by increasing insulin output.

Page 14: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

If the capacity of the insulin receptors is compromised due to nutrient insufficiencies, the internal message to the cells is reduced and the efficiency of the cell is compromised.

Page 15: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

The insulin signal can be further attenuated by inflammatory mediators such as NF-KappaB and cytokines such as TNF alpha. When this happens, fewer GLUT 4 vesicles are formed and glucose uptake is compromised.

Page 16: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

Gene activation by PPAR Alpha and Gamma may also be compromised, leading to further reduction in the cell’s ability to produce energy.

Why Raw Works for Blood Sugar/Insulin Issues

• More FIBER to slow food absorption• Anti-oxidants to keep insulin receptors from becoming

oxidized and damaged• Free electrons = more anti-oxidant / ALKALIZING power

(hormones cannot bind in an excessively acidic environment)

• More MINERALS (especially Magnesium, Chromium, Vanadium)

• Anti-inflammatory (protects receptors, allows good signaling to the DNA)

• Less fat tissue = less inflammatory chemicals created (TNF alpha and interleukens) = better signal transmission

Step 1: DAILY MOVEMENT THERAPYQuestion…Does it HURT to exercise?

YES? Then you MUST get to the root of the problem and FIX IT because MOVEMENT IS LIFE. “If you can’t, you must!”

START by getting back on track with pain free movement...

• Get stiff/stuck joints moving (chiropractic/manual therapy)

• Erase and replace damaging posture and movement patterns

• Reconnect to the awareness of your “core/anti-gravity system” to give you strength, stability, and confidence in your movement.

•There is ALWAYS something you can do even if you’re in the worst of pain. Isometrics, aquatherapy, power breathing, imagined movement

Page 21: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

DAILY MOVEMENT THERAPY (cont.)Aerobic Movement at 180-age formula:

1. Subtract your age from 180 2. Modify that number based on below criteria

A. If you have, or are recovering from a major illness (heart disease, any operation or hospital stay) or are on any regular medication. (SUBTRACT 10)B. If you’ve not exercised before, or if you have exercised and are recovering from an injury. If you’re regressing in you’re training or competition. If you get colds or flu easily, or have allergies. (SUBTRACT 5)C. If you’ve been exercising up to 2 years without any problems and you’ve not had colds or flu more than once or twice a year (SUBTRACT 0)D. You’ve been exercising for more than 2 years without any problems while making progress in competition without injury (ADD 5)

Page 22: Blood Sugar Balance Solutions

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

The HIIT group lost over 3 times as much subcutaneous fat as the Endurance training group despite expending less

than half as many calories. (20 week program, 17 subjects)

Increases DHEA and Growth Hormone (better fat burning/anti-aging)

Main Idea: Go all out then COMPLETELY recover (down to about 180-age -10 or more.

Fight/flight then RECOVER = more muscle gain and more fat burning throughout rest of day… CAUTION!!! You MUST be biomechanically sound so you don’t injure yourself in the process!
