Have you ever written your opinion on Dr. Fuhrman’s diet?

Thank you! You are ALWAYS so helpful. I am so appreciative of you and your blogs. You give me encouragement and confidence that I can and WILL feel better if I stick with it and continue to educate myself. Figuring out proper energy balance isn’t extremely difficult, but also isn’t totally simple either. I’m working at it though and getting better at it every day.

Absolutely, Paulette. I will say, however, that one of the biggest physical stressors I’ve experienced is energy imbalance: eating too little or too much. When my body is getting the amount of fuel it needs to function optimally, I feel exponentially better and experience more stable moods. Exercise is also a tremendous stress reliever. So while maintaining proper energy balance and exercising regularly won’t eliminate stress from your life, it WILL go a long way toward relieving your body’s hormonal response to that stress.

And stress reduction, too, right? I always love reading what you have to say, but I’m convinced that learning to control stress is going to be another integral part of my journey to wellness. I being treated right now for leaky gut and elevated cortisol levels. Adequate sleep and exercise will be extremely helpful in my quest to reduce stress in my daily routine but I also need to learn relaxation techniques as well. In our fast past, insult hurling, say whatever’s on my mind in the name of free speech world, I think many people could benefit from learning more about stress reducing techniques to cope with internal and external stress factors. Thanks for listening.

When I say metabolic dysfunction I usually mean insulin resistance and accompanying symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome: dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, etc. But really, any of a whole host of endocrine disorders can fall under the ‘metabolic dysfunction’ umbrella.

Amber, what exactly, is metabolic dysfunction?
