Nutrition – Green Science

HORMONAL & GUT NUTRITION

WELCOME TO GUT GOING!
Your body is talking to you - Are you Listening?

We work on the following principles:

The Concept of diet is funny, since no other living organism changes their diet as much as humans do. There’s the Keto diet, the Paleo diet, the Blood type diet, the Atkins diet, the No-Carb diet, the GM diet, Dixit diet so on and so forth.

How did we get here?

Truth be told, people only decide to go on a diet when they want to lose weight or change the parameters on their blood test results.

People never think of Nutrition as a way to live a healthy, optimal life.

They never think of Nutrition as a deeply Restorative and Reparative science.

Did you know that optimal Nutrition can help you with health issues like poor Sleep, Constipation, Hair Thinning, Insulin Resistance, Anxiety, Digestive issues, Liver issues, Inflammation, Sexual dysfunction, Menstrual irregularities, PCOD, Allergies, Immune system dysfunction, Stress issues, etc. The list goes on!

Does anyone really eat for optimal health anymore?

At our facility, we focus on Nutrition and Supplementation in order to ‘attain’ complete Physical and Mental wellness. Weight/ Fat loss is a consequence of this ‘attained’ wellness. To know more about our Nutrition program, connect with us at 9136634555/9136634466. If the line is busy or you connect with us outside of clinic hours, please WhatsApp us with your Name, Contact number and queries on 9136634555/9136634466. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Your body knows when to gain fat and where to store it:

– There are multiple reasons why the body will gain fat and then store fat. We help you find those reasons.

– Eliminating most of these underlying reasons OR bringing them under balanced control will help the body release stored fat without causing health issues like Anemia, Hair Loss, Gall Bladder issues, Weakness, etc.

Eg.: Ms AJ suffering from Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism was explained that having a Thyroid issue need not necessarily mean you will gain weight. Also, exercising excessively will only stress out your Thyroid gland (and affect T4 levels) which in turn will NOT convert to Weight/Fat loss.

Heavy reliance on Blood tests as a measure of Physical wellness:

– Patients and doctors rely heavily on blood tests and scans to know what’s going on within a patient’s body. But a lot of underlying health issues start off early and elude (remain undetected) most blood tests.

– Man made tests sometimes cannot detect most issues, until it is late. It is important therefore to listen to what your body is telling you. Bodily symptoms tell us a lot before blood tests often do.

Eg: Insulin resistance shows up symptomatically in a lot of patients even before it can be detected on blood tests. Pin-pointing this Insulin Resistance and eliminating it, is key to NOT becoming a full blown Diabetic. The key lies in pin-pointing it!

Exercise is Medicine and the Dose matters:

– It is common knowledge that one has to be medically fit before starting with an exercise program. This principle is however never really followed by anyone.

– Exercising in the presence of underlying health problems does more damage to your Immune system and worsens underlying health issues. When your body is well nourished and hydrated, you have enough energy to expend on exercise. Remember that Exercise releases Stress hormones. Your body therefore does not get threatened by exercise (stress hormones released during exercise) when it is well nourished, hydrated and when underlying health issues are well taken care of.

– Exercise is Medicine and the Dose matters! The dose should be chosen with the intent of optimizing the intended goal along with a firm understanding of training adaptations. Patients with Metabolic dysfunction (Clinical patients) should employ MICT (Moderate Intensity Continuous training)

– In conclusion, Optimal Health is 90% Nutrition and just 10% Exercise.

Eg.: Visit any Gym and you will see several helpless, seemingly overweight women running on a treadmill. With underlying Inflammation, poor digestion and disturbed sleep issues many of these women put additional Stress on their Thyroid glands by running excessively, thus increasing their T4 hormone levels. In the long term, most of these women show symptomatic Hypothyroidism and have to be recommended Thyroid medication

Eating less AND working out more:

The classic trope of eating less (to ingest less calories) and working out more (to burn more calories) puts tremendous stress on your Thyroid and subsequently your Immune system. Eventually your body remains consistently stressed while you temporarily achieve your Dream weight on the scale. If done correctly, for a short period of time and under the guidance of a trained Nutritionist/ Personal Trainer – eating lesser calories may actually help an athlete/celebrity lose those kilos to achieve their short term weight goals. Following such a diet for a longer period is neither sustainable nor healthy. Low Calorie diets often lead to the development of Cravings and can often put the body into a Nutrient deficit.

– On another note, an athlete’s body and Nutritional requirements are different from those of a regular individual’s.

Always, always eat for your bodily needs and goals, and not for reasons that it worked for someone else.

Following a diet trend that worked out for your friend or family member:

– Your body is unique, your Nutrition needs are different, your stress levels are unique, your mind body control is unique – then why do you follow a Nutrition regimen that worked for someone else? Why isn’t your Nutrition /Diet NOT customized to your daily physical/ mental needs?

– What works for someone may work for you the first time OR it may just leave you wasting your time. Always, always eat for your bodily needs and goals, not for what worked for someone else’s.

Eg.: We have seen several cases of patients who followed the infamous Keto diet and lost oodles of weight, only to be shot down with a bad case of Gall Bladder stones, High Cholesterol levels OR Gut Dysbiosis. There have been clients who have had to remove their Gall Bladders surgically due to continuous Digestive issues and Skin Allergies that they have faced years down the line. Unknown to most people, the Keto diet has been regarded as the worst diet of the Century. Here’s another piece of information: The Keto diet was originally intended for Epileptic patients only!

Few facts about the Gut Microbiome ( Skin/Scalp/Urogenital Microbiome):

– Hundreds of different species of bacteria and viruses live in the gut. The community contains an estimated 40 trillion cells, which is slightly more than the number of human cells making up our bodies. This enormous collective may help ward off viruses through three primary mechanisms:

building a wall that blocks invaders;
deploying advanced weaponry; and
providing support to the immune system.

Trillions of Microbes living IN and ON us – collectively known as the Human Microbiome call the body their home and they need it to survive. Intestinal Bacteria have been known to assist with digestion, make certain nutrients and communicate with other body parts such as the brain using chemical signals.

– The trillions of microbes that live in our Gut have an important role, often helping us to keep us healthy. But they have also been tied to increased risk of Chronic conditions such as Arthritis, Cancer, Heart disease, Diabetes and Obesity.

– COVID-19 produces few to no symptoms in many people but can be life threatening in others. Emerging research is suggesting that the state of a patient’s Microbiome may be a contributing factor to what drives the Dramatically different responses to the SARS-COV-2 infection in different patients. Perturbations in the Gut Microbiome may be linked to the so-called Cytokine storm, an overreactive immune response thought to be a potential driver of severe COVID-19.

– The Microbes in the Gut are known to influence the health of the Lungs through Chemical communication.

– Reshaping the Gut Microbiota through properly guided Intermittent fasting can reduce Hypertension (Blood pressure). All the latest research studies show that Disruption of Gut Microbiota (known as Gut Dysbiosis) can have adverse effects on Blood pressure.

– Changes in the Gut Microbes of Malnourished children help them to gain weight and grow up healthy.

–The health of your Scalp hair and Skin is also determined by the Microbes present on your Scalp and Skin. In order to promote re-growth of Scalp hair, it is imperative to promote a healthy pH level of the scalp and improve Microbial health within the body.

– Autism Spectrum disorder symptoms and Gut Microbes have a dynamic relationship. Parents of children diagnosed with Autism should work on improving their child’s Gastrointestinal problems like Abdominal pain, Constipation, Bloating, Loose stools in order to improve the Gut Brain Axis (The Gut speaks to the Brain in order to modulate Brain signals).

– Studies in Animals have also proven how the Gut Microbiome influences their health. One latest study showed how a Horse’s Gut Micrbiome communicates with the horse (the host) by sending chemical signals to its cells, which has the effect of helping the horse improve its athletic performance (in equine sports)!

Eg.: There are several such studies that have proven without a shred of doubt that we are the microbes we inhabit. For those of us, unlucky enough to have a bad Gut Microbiome (or Human Microbiome), fear not – THERE IS HOPE!COVID-19 produces few to no symptoms in many people but can be life threatening in others. Emerging research is suggesting that the state of a patient’s Microbiome may be a contributing factor to what drives the Dramatically different responses to the SARS-COV-2 infection in different patients. Perturbations in the Gut Microbiome may be linked to the so-called Cytokine storm, an overreactive immune response thought to be a potential driver of severe COVID-19.

Your Genetics:

– Your DNA outlines your body’s predisposition or ‘potential’ for certain wellness traits like weight gain, aging and sleep. But your DNA does not define you completely.

YOUR GENES ARE NOT YOUR DESTINY.

– Your BLOOD tests, on the other hand provide a snapshot of what is happening in your body at a distinct point in time. Your Blood markers (for eg.: Glucose, Iron, etc) tell you the CURRENT state of your body. Blood markers are constantly changing in response to your Fitness, Lifestyle and Nutritional choices. Your Blood data is dynamic, changing over time with various inputs (Sleep, Stress, Dietary choices). So your Blood work tells you how your Genetic predispositions are manifesting in your everyday life.

– Contrary to popular belief, genetic testing does not define you fully. Our genes are influenced completely by our environment and the daily lifestyle choices we make. What I mean is, you cannot change your Genes, but you CAN CHANGE how your body responds to your Genes. So eat right to manipulate your genes!

Your Hormones:

– Growth hormone, thyroid hormones, insulin, etc are all hormones that are implicated in the normal growth processes of human beings. Their metabolic actions are related to the nutritional state of human beings. Furthermore, variations in hormone levels also appear to affect food intake and food conversion.

These interactions are what we work on, in order to help the patient have improved health outcomes.

– Muscle gain and Fat loss are all a result of improved Hormonal balance and can be achieved through Optimal Nutrition alone.

– Your hormones control your eating patterns, moods, sleep, stress levels, sexual function, weight and every other daily function. You could be experiencing weight gain, hair loss/scalp issues, Menstrual irregularities, Acne, Anxiety/Depression, PCOD, Sexual dysfunction, Gynaecological issues, Stress disorders, Sleep issues, Heavy Metal toxicities, Lifestyle diseases (Uncontrolled Diabetes & Blood pressure) and everything in between. Bet you never knew that Nutrition was the answer!

Customization of Nutrition program works:

– No Two bodies are the same. You are unique and your Nutrition plan should be unique too.

– We believe that every person requires a personalized Nutrition program with extensive guidance and counseling, in order to reach their Health and Fitness goals.

– In our Nutrition program – we tell you what you need to do and why, when to eat, what to eat, how to cook it, what supplements to consume, what exercise timing is suitable for you, what exercises you should do as well as what Skin and Hair products you should use (so as to not alter your Skin Microbiome). We also educate you in understanding Food labels when you shop. Counseling sessions are also prescribed for clients who lack motivation or those who need additional assistance.

– Eating outside? Get smart and understand what you should order when you eat outside. We guide you on what you should order, so that you don’t fall back on your Fat loss goals.

– Your body is trying to reach a state of equilibrium on a daily basis. We help your body reach optimal equilibrium through Hormonal Balance and excellent Gut Health, which in turn leads to lasting Fat loss and improved bodily functions.

Your body is smart; we don’t let it outsmart you!

Additional care and counselling:

– We do provide additional counseling to clients who need assistance with following a properly outlined Nutrition program. Not all of us are cut from the same cloth. Some of us need regular reminders, yet some of us follow a disciplined program well, while the rest of need Blood test reports to scare us into staying healthy. Whichever group of people you belong to, there is an answer. Take the first step, reach out to us – and we will guide you along the way.

– We also give Nutritional Counseling with regards to Eating disorders, Food addictions and Obesity.

DM Therapy: It involves Skilled Manual Scalp release techniques that help in improved Blood circulation to the Scalp. This technique is painful but cathartic. Patients have reported better sleep quality after release to their Scalp fascia. We also incorporate certain Acupuncture techniques that help improve Immune system functioning and induce better sleep.

Sleep/ Stress Therapy: Stress is designed to take out the weakest link. Stress was meant to strengthen the species, but we’ve reversed things now where the most successful of us is the most stressed. Next time you feel stressed, understand that every cell of your body is trying to tell your DNA that you don’t want to be here anymore. Stress is an ejection system, meant to end things for you. Learning how to bring Stress under control is a fine art. It needs skilled handling of Hormones, Tissues and Blood parameters. Our Sleep/Stress therapy helps in taking care of the Tissues affected on account of stress. Different kinds of people respond to stress differently. Some accumulate Stress in their Neck muscles, while some others in their calves. Few others who account for back pain surprisingly carry stress in their back musculature. Release this Muscular tension by indulging in a 4 hand massage by a skilled Physiotherapist and a trained Massage Therapist! Connect with us to know more.

Visceral Mobilization Therapy for Abdomen:

– Visceral Manipulation is the manipulation of the internal organs of the body such as the diaphragm, bladder, uterus, liver and intestines. It is a gentle manual therapy that helps release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that cause pain and dysfunction.

– Our therapist will feel for altered or decreased motion within the viscera, as well as restrictive patterns throughout the body and increase their mobility and function by releasing adhesions and restrictions. By increasing the mobility and motility of the organs and by taking away the lines of tension within the body, we can help overcome many dysfunctions. Connect with us to know more!

Four Hand Deep Tissue Massage: A four hands full body massage is advisable once a month. We employ 12-15 different techniques to loosen deeper tissues (fascia, periosteum, ligaments, muscles and organs), in order to improve Biomechanics, to release tissue tension/inflammation and to help you feel lighter post treatment. Some of the techniques we use include Chinese Acupuncture, Reflexology, Scalp releases, Ear Acupressure, Nerve stretches and Deep Fascia mobilization.
