Prescribing insulin for gestational diabetic women and then instructing them to eat carbohydrates 'because they are on insulin' is completely immoral.

No explanation of concept insulin resistance vs insulin deficiency
Solution to insulin deficiency = insulin replacement
Solution to insulin resistance = carbohydrate, sugar, seed oil restriction + exercise

As I have previously said, the key to optimal health is optimizing and correcting for mismatch between our (toxic) environment and our evolved evolutionary niche.

#RootCauseMedicine is an attempt to reverse the modern tsunami of chronic disease by addressing and correcting its fundamental dietary and lifestyle root causes.

PFAS have unique chemical properties owing to the extreme strength of the carbon-fluorine bonds.
Products containing PFAS have
- oil and stain resistance
- water proof-ness
- thermal resistance
- non-stick surfaces

The potential for research in #RootCauseMedicine is enormous.
We are in the process of re-discovering the health blueprint for humanity. These are the most URGENT areas of investigation.

You are sick because you are mal-adapted to industrial food products, agro-industrial toxins, cubicle 9-5s, and a constant lack of outdoor exercise.
You are leading a quite life of sedentary, inflamed, endocrine-disrupted, overfed desperation.

But it doesn't have to be this way. If you can:

Your body will heal itself.

Endocrine disruption happens when certain environmental chemicals mess with the hormone signals in the body.
Xeno-estrogens are a class of endocrine disrupting compounds. They act like estrogen and interfere with testosterone production and signalling.

Phthalates are used in body products to hold artificial fragrances, and are found in hairspray, perfume, moisturizers hidden on the label as 'fragrance' or 'parfum'.
