What Did You Have For Dinner?
If type 2 diabetes were an infectious disease, it is said we would be in the midst of an epidemic. This problematic disease is striking an ever-growing number of adults. With the rising rates of childhood obesity, it has become more common in youth, especially among certain ethnic groups. The good news is that prediabetes […]
The Secret To Becoming A Type 2 Diabetic
Obesity, Prediabetes, and Diabetes Type 2 are associated with most of the diseases of modern society (cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease). These are all metabolic dysfunctions related to the malnutrition of overconsumption which leads to metabolic inflammation, or metal inflammation. This series of articles provides a recipe on how to make a healthy society, and […]
Episode 91: Dr. Gurpreet Padda
Today we are joined by Dr. Gurpreet Padda, a man of great learning and with a great interest in metabolic health and nutrition. He became interested in metabolic health when he noticed that, working in adult pain at the time, 91% of his patients were overweight. Through observation and experimentation, he noticed that metabolic inflammation […]
Refined Grain Consumption: Not Bad After All?
We have heard a lot about the harmful effects of refined grains on our health. Interestingly, recent research seems to point in a different direction, exonerating them from the label they have held for so long. Are refined grains not so bad after all? What are the facts? In this article, we will take a […]
Does Chronic Over Nutrition Play A Role In Metabolic Inflammation?
We have been looking at metabolic inflammation and its role in the development of obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Does overnutrition contribute to metabolic inflammation? How? Some background on overnutrition…. It is estimated that by 2020, two-thirds of the global burden of the disease will be due to chronic non-communicable diseases, most of which are associated […]
Autism Connection?
Soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes but could also affect neurological conditions such as: maternal-child bonding autism Alzheimer’s disease anxiety depression A previous study published in 2015 suggested that soybean oil-induced obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. A more recent 2020 study published in the journal Endocrinology, compared mice […]
Metabolic Signals And Innate Immune Activation In Obesity
The interplay between immunity, inflammation, and metabolic changes is a growing field of research. Exciting new evidence is emerging with regard to their role in the regulation of metabolism and the activation of inflammatory pathways during the progression of metabolic disorders such as Type 2 Diabetes and Atherosclerosis. The innate immune system The innate immune system […]
Understanding The Role Of Metabolic Inflammation Plays In Obesity And Diabesity
Obesity is a disease that has plagued the modern-day man in recent times. Access to highly processed foods and a decrease in physical activity are key contributors to this ailment. Researchers are hard at work looking into what other underlying factors lead to obesity, especially given its relationship with the onset of Type 2 Diabetes, […]
The Missing Link; Dopamine, Obesity, Metainflammation, Diabetes Type 2
Nearly 77% of the US population is now overweight. This dramatic change in the last 50 years is correlated with the availability of highly processed foods, and with a dramatic increase in chronic pain. In a mouse model, high-calorie foods, which induces a dopamine release, disrupted normal feeding schedules, resulting in overconsumption. Additionally, the “knockout” […]
What Is The Relationship Between Metabolic Inflammation And Type 2 Diabetes?
A growing body of data shows that type 2 diabetes is at least in part rooted in inflammation. The higher a person’s body mass index, the more pro-inflammatory macrophages they have in their adipose tissue, and the higher their chances of developing T2D. In this article, we will highlight the emerging role of inflammation in […]
