Hello all,
We are in the process of re-vamping the Ancestral Wellness program, and plan to make it better than ever in the coming months. Thanks to those who participated in the trial run, and stay tuned for some exciting changes coming up in the near future.
We were planning to talk about saturated fats in class tomorrow, but thought a question and answer session, complete with food samples sounded like a better idea. Bring a friend, and be prepared to ask questions about the eating plan, practical tips, etc. See you at Woodlands Family Medicine at 5:30!
Supplemental Support for Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a complex condition, which includes insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia and is usually, but not always, associated with obesity. Patients with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and depression. Insulin resistance appears to increase the risk of some cancers including colorectal cancer and estrogen dependent cancers such as breast cancer. Read MoreHi all,
Thanks for stopping by. The classes are continuing, and last night's was on metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes. Hopefully, you were able to get some good information from the talk. I mentioned some local resources for organic produce, meat, etc. Don't forget, Winter Ridge Market on (Lake St. and Hwy 2 behind Dub's) has LOTS of paleo-friendly foods, and local meat and produce. They're a great local resource and are open 7 days a week, 8 am to 8 pm.
Another resource is Six Rivers Market. It's a local food co-op that is based out of DiLuna's. You place your order online between Friday and Monday, and pick up your order on Weds. Below, see a copy of the latest email I received from them (in Italics, so you can see what they sent). Email me if you have questions or concerns, or as always - take care and have a great weekend!
