Metabolic function and "Being STUCK"
Let's talk Green Tea and Catechins
Green tea contains catechins and caffeine, which can stimulate thermogenesis and fat oxidation. Catechin-polyphenols in green tea can inhibit catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine. This may explain why green tea can stimulate thermogenesis. Caffeine can inhibit trancellular phosphodiesterases, which break down NA-induced cAMP. Together, these ingredients may help manage obesity.
Diet: “Yo-Yo” Dieting May Mean Sleep Issues.
A year-long study that included 500 women found that those with a history of yo-yo dieting {losing and regaining 10 pounds (4.53 kg)} were more likely to experience insomnia, sleep apnea, and other sleep problems.
Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, May 2021
- I’ve heard just about every “weight loss” rule in the book (and my guess is you have too). They seem to work for a while until they don’t. Here’s a relieving fact: achieving a certain body image doesn’t have to be complex, difficult, or filled with crazy rules.
And the good news. You.......Don't have to be a gut expert
- Don’t need to spend hours at the gym
- Don’t have to drink special shakes or order special premade meals
So what is needed and where to start?

Some Science on JumpStart Ingredients:
Prickly Pear in this Jumpstart product: Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a plant native to Mexico. Its fruit and stems are commonly eaten and used as medicine in Mexican cultures. Prickly pear cactus might lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels by reducing how much the stomach absorbs.
Prickly pear cactus — or also known as nopal, opuntia and other names — is promoted for treating diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and hangovers. It's also touted for its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Also is a blood pressure aid: The magnesium, potassium, and calcium in prickly pears are key nutrients for healthy blood pressure, while vitamin C plays an important role in immune system health ( 6 , 7 ). Prickly pears also contain many beneficial plant compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and pigments, which act as antioxidants.Aug 25, 2021

Let's talk weight transformation and the "little things" we can do to help improve metabolic function:
??.....what may be 'getting in the way' for YOUR weight loss? Could it be STRESSSSSS?
Toxins May Be Making you fat!! We are exposed to loads of contaminants on a daily basis. When we sit in traffic, we’re breathing in air pollution. Environmental toxins work their way through the food chain and contaminate our food and drinking water. Your body is designed to filter out foreign toxins, but it isn’t designed to deal with such high levels of daily poisons. As a result your body ends up “storing” these toxins in fat cells, the colon and other organs—even in your brain!
Storing Toxins in all the wrong places it becomes our challenge to "handle" these daily toxins; toxins and your body trying to safely store those that cannot be removed, produce physical, emotional and psychological imbalances in the body. Environmental toxins come from outside the body. They harm your cells when they are ingested, inhaled, or absorbed into your bloodstream through other channels. Once in your body, they often accumulate because the body can’t remove them effectively or safely. When pollutant levels become too high, you may start to experience a range of adverse effects.
Metabolic toxins are the normal by-products of your metabolism, such as carbon dioxide, urea, and lactic acid. Your body churns these out by the second. Unless your health is severely compromised, your body is well equipped to remove these toxins from your system. BUT… STRESS is a Toxin, and it is true that stress is a fact of life; sadly research reveals that it’s also a source of fat. To put it simply, you can eat your way to being fat, but you can also stress your way to being fat. To avoid acute poisoning, your body removes toxins from your bloodstream and stores them in body fat. Fat is a great insulator from their dangerous effects. Toxins can deposit in fatty tissues all over the body, including the brain. Bottom line—stress can be as dangerous to health as pollution.

Taking out the "trash"
5 signs your Body is NOT Taking out the Trash!
• Poor sleep and breathing problems. • If the main organs of elimination are not working effectively, the skin eliminates toxins. This can manifest as bumps, redness, itching and other skin problems. • If the tongue has a white or yellow film, the digestive system is probably fighting toxins. • Studies show a correlation between headaches, brain fog and air pollution. • irritability and moodiness can be a sign your body is challenged by too many toxins. • aches and pains may come from various toxins that act to stimulate pain receptors in the muscles. This can lead to spasms, aches and pains, muscle knots, and general discomfort. |
About stomach fat:
Subcutaneous fat Visceral fat Your abdomen carries two types of fat. Subcutaneous fat is the squishy, pinchable fat that lies beneath the skin. Subcutaneous fat is an exceptionally stubborn fat to lose, but moderate amounts of it won’t increase your risk of disease. Visceral fat lies deep in your belly, feels almost firm to the touch and causes your waistline to protrude. Visceral fat is an especially difficult type of fat, because it encases internal organs and releases compounds into your bloodstream that affect other tissues. It also increases your risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. If all of your excess weight is concentrated around your waistline, it is better to start reducing it! 5 keys To living longer & better...... |
5 Keys to Living LONGER & BETTER
You are meant to be healthy and fit while living your life. Making simple day-to-day changes to your routine go a long way towards shedding toxins and weight—and feeling more alive.
Eat Smart, Move More, FEEL BETTER
STEP 1: reduce or remove synthetic and processed foods
These five simple day-to-day changes to your daily routine help retrain your habits towards greater health. Give yourself a "Dare" which is meant to allow you to easily create new, higher-health habits.
STEP 1: REDUCE or REMOVE Synthetic and/or Processed foods. Processed foods and a sanitized lifestyle have depleted our food’s natural nutrient goodness. These non-foods are loaded with dangerous chemicals which are proven to affect brain function, skin health, immune health and gut health. They cause good bacteria die off, making us vulnerable to obesity and other health conditions. A healthy gut’s ecological harmony and balance has been shown to reduce inflammation. Dozens of health issues are associated with inflammation, so eating too many processed foods such as trans-fats and refined sugar hinders your ability to enjoy good health and lose dangerous visceral fat. Ditch the boxed, pre-made and fast foods and enjoy real meals again.

STEP 2: MOVE MORE
step 2: Move More; Increase your activity. This helps boost metabolism even further. Exercise also reduces the inflammatory signals that are linked to slow metabolism. In our Dare, you’re increasing your movement every day, for general health and fitness. If you have a routine—great! If you begin a routine—great! Remember, even just walking for 30 minutes a day has profound benefits over time. In fact, a nature walk may be the best option. Studies have found that being in nature can lower blood pressure and reduce cortisol production, helping everything from weight loss to heart health.

Step 3: DRINK 1/2 your body weight. WATERSTEP 3: Drink More water; it's that simple. Unhealthy things come in our pie holes (despite our best efforts). In order to stay healthy, they have to go out. The latest studies show staying hydrated by drinking water helps with most health concerns. Your body loses water throughout each day, even when you’re not sweating. Being dehydrated can hurt your attention span; memory and mood are affected, and physical distress such as headaches, constipation and kidney problems can result from dehydration. Fresh juices and mild or herbal teas can be partial substitutes for pure water.

Focus on improved SLEEP HABITS
STEP 4: Get enough sleep: The unsung hero of health.
QUALITY sleep burns off fat and reduces cortisol levels. A consistent lack of sleep decreases natural body cleansing functions and is associated with many chronic health issues. Perhaps the most significant effect of sleep deprivation is disruption of your natural energy cycles. Without enough sleep, you may tire in the middle of the day, but get wired again late at night. You may go to sleep easily enough, but wake up far too early, and then not be able to get back to sleep. Or despite what seems like a full night’s sleep, you may wake up feeling worn out and anything but refreshed.

step 5: add micronutrient-rich wild foods
STEP 5: Add Micronutrient-rich wild foods:
80% of your ability to reduce toxins and rebuild health is determined by what you eat. Healthy food choices that contain high amounts of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes, etc.) help reduce hunger signals and allow you to eat fewer calories. If you’re deficient in vital nutrients and in comes a bagel… yes, you’re getting food in your gut, but your body didn’t get the nutrients it requires.

stress modulators…provided by mother nature adaptogens are plants that can increase our resilience to stress—both mental and physical. Like people, plants experience stress. They’re exposed to rollicking seasonal shifts, floods or drought and attack from predatory insects and invasive microbes. To survive, wild plants produce powerful phytochemicals that protect, preserve and allow it to prosper. In animals, adaptogens act as thermostats, instructing some systems to “get going”, while telling others to chill out. By consuming wild plants, we absorb this high concentration of phytochemicals which then help our body adapt to stresses of all kinds. Their survival mechanisms are actually powerful plant nutrients that offer us protection from stress. They may improve focus, learning, and recovery after strenuous activity. They’re calming for those prone to anxiety and enlivening for those prone to exhaustion. Wild plants present the perfect nutritional answer to better body recovery and a new phase of strength and wellness.
The Spirit of Being Wild
Being Wild includes reclaiming the wisdom of our ancestors. In traditional cultures, food is where culture and ecology intersect. Traditional diets are not “diets” at all. They were a pattern of eating, which often included wild foods like mushrooms, seasonal greens or berries as part of everyday life. The Dare to be Wild is not going backwards, to live in the woods – it’s reconnecting to that wildness inside you. It’s learning from Nature to creatively use and respond to the changes taking place in our community and in the world. For many people, a connection to real foods is a good place to start remembering this sense of belonging.
Summary: Join a movement of supportive people who are dedicated to a better quality of life. Simple, day-to-day, we are here to cheer your progress.
Staying healthy and feeling your best is about looking at your whole life, from food choices to your work and your home environment. You want to remove what’s toxic and replace with life-giving choices. It’s better to eliminate poisons at the time of exposure than to allow them to accumulate. We live in a toxic world, but we have access to air purifiers, organic and wholesome foods, water filters, and organic, toxin-free clothing. Any step toward a toxin-free lifestyle is a step in the right direction! This is where The Dare to Be Wild Community can help. We are based in the spirit of caring and a deep sense that we’re all connected – to other humans and all that is Nature’s creation. I rep the algae because this company is a pioneer in the use of smart lifestyle choices along with ancient and wild foods that fast-track our connection with our natural state of vibrant health—even in the city.
