Insulin resistance is the central problem in metabolic syndrome,
tight bands around the patient’s arms and legs with low-intensity resistance and endurance training. Lo and behold, muscles increase in mass and strength—because depriving muscle cells of oxygen switched them from burning to growing.
While cell metabolism has everything to do with energy, it has nothing to do with calories. It’s not calories that drive growth or burning, it’s what the chemicals that reach the cell, and especially the mitochondria, do to these three enzymes. And it is these three enzymes that show why everything we thought we knew about nutrition is wrong.
While all amino acids are important, tryptophan is the most important, because it’s the hardest to come by.
Nuts also have tryptophan, and spinach and soy have a little as well.
Small commodity farmers qualify for a pittance, while producers of meat, fruits, and vegetables are left holding the bag.
at Foogal have developed a digital platform that ties together four stakeholders: the patient-consumer, the doctor-provider, the supermarket, and the insurance company. Here’s how it works: First, your doctor-approved biochemical profile is inputted into the Foogal platform (e.g., do you have high lipids, do you have hypertension, do you have diabetes, do you have celiac disease, what medications are you on). This information is combined with preventative nutrition (i.e.,
avoidance of processed food) and then used to determine which foods would optimize your health.
