1/3 Triglycerides are predominantly the carbs you ate that your body didn't get to use as energy because either you're eating carbs too frequently or you are eating carbs in the presence of fat. HDL is a lipoprotein, often referred to as “good” cholesterol This is because it
2/3 absorbs other types of cholesterol and carries them away from your arteries and back to your liver, which eliminates it from your body. The lower the ratio between TG/HDL the more metabolically healthy you are, the less Insulin resistant you are, & the less cardio-vascular
event risk you are. Get this ratio to under 2.0 & better if closer to 1.0. Fix: Eat meat, eggs & seafood. Eliminate sugar, grains & vegetable oils. Eat some soluble fiber ( Avocados, etc), #LCHPMF, Strength train, take long walks & supplement Omega 3 & 7 fats & Berberine ImageImage

Menopause can result in a decline in hormone levels, including testosterone, which is essential for various aspects of a woman's health. Here are some natural ways a menopausal woman can increase her testosterone levels: #menopause #testosterone
Exercise & physical activity: Regular exercise, particularly strength training & high-intensity interval training (HIIT), have shown to raise testosterone levels. Incorporate a mix of cardio & resistance training exercises into your routine to help maintain healthy hormone levels
A nutrient-rich diet is essential for hormonal balance: Include both lean & fatty meat, eggs & fish, fats (like those found in avocados, ghee, lard, tallow & olive oil). Specific foods, such as cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, & cabbage), support hormone production.

Keys to successful fat loss:

Get some momentum going as quick as possible. Once seeing progress, it's hard to want to sabotage that

Eat 2 primary meals a day about 6-7 hours apart. Let I.F. work for you

First meal of the day should be heavy in protein & good fat=Satiety pic# 1 Image
Last meal of the day should be high protein, lower in fat & around 30-50gms of carbohydrate for optimal hormonal signaling & conversion. Picture #2

If you need to eat between the 6-7 hour window, make it moderate in protein, moderate in fat & low in carbohydrate. Picture #3 ImageImage
Some will need to start lower carb @SBakerMD and some will need to eat as much as 70-80 grams of carbohydrate a day @CarnivoreMD. This is determined by gender, age, activity level, hormone status & Adrenal/Thyroid health, so get this

1/7 Leptin has been firmly established as the essential hormone for the maintenance of energy homeostasis and body weight, and leptin resistance has been widely recognized as the key risk factor for obesity. Leptin promotes weight loss primarily by activating the LEPRb pathways
2/7 in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus. To provide the most comprehensive support for weight management, you need more than the standard metabolic health support. Special attention should be paid to the endocrine aspects of metabolism and appetite - in addition to
3/7 normal fat absorption, use and storage. Supporting a healthy balance of leptin and ghrelin is essential to providing a long term weight management strategy for your patients. Adipo-Leptin Benefits™ offers the right evidence-based ingredients to make that strategy work.

1/4 This is straight from Ray Peat, PHD
Few on the planet have his understanding of this situation.
Estrogen blocks the release of hormone from the thyroid gland, and progesterone facilitates the release. Estrogen excess or progesterone deficiency tends to cause enlargement
2/4 of the thyroid gland, in association with a hypothyroid state. Estrogen can activate the adrenals to produce cortisol, leading to various harmful effects, including brain aging and bone loss. Progesterone stimulates the adrenals and the ovaries to produce more progesterone,
3/4 but since progesterone protects against the catabolic effects of cortisol, its effects are the opposite of estrogen’s. Progesterone has antiinflammatory and protective effects, similar to cortisol, but it doesn’t have the harmful effects. In hypothyroidism,

1/4 How do seed oils cause hormonal imbalances?

There are many changes in hormones caused by unsaturated fats. Their best understood effect is their interference with the function of the thyroid gland. Unsaturated oils block thyroid hormone secretion, its movement in the
2/4
circulatory system, and the response of tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body is generally exposed to increased levels of estrogen. The thyroid hormone is essential for making the "protective hormones" progesterone and pregnenolone,
3/4
so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything which blocks the thyroid function.
