We have dissected what the MAHA report is telling us but what are you going to DO about it?

Actionable steps to take:

• App – Yuka or Open Foods Facts (OFF) – identify NOVA 4 and throw them away
• Count fiber and optimize this
• Organic foods in their whole unprocessed form.
• Protein:Carb ratio – optimize.
• Exercise & Sleep are yin and yang of life - optimize

Make America Healthy Again Part 2 with Dr. Gary Huber and Chelsea Dorsett, RD, LD

What is MAHA? Understanding why our American lifestyle is killing us faster than other countries.

Upfront summary:

1. Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of diseases that run together – high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, elevated cholesterol and excess weight. Metabolic syndrome affects 50% of all Americans. That's staggering, expensive, and its crushing the quality and length of life.

2. Drugs do NOT create health. Drugs do NOT reverse disease. Drugs merely reduce symptoms. Americans swallow more drugs than any other country on the planet and we are one of the least healthy populations.

3. Third leading cause of death in the U.S. is the use of prescription drugs.

4. Drugs like GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic) are very popular and expensive. You can eat whole food that has fiber and this will drive your body to generate your own GLP-1 naturally.

5. 95% of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee members had financial ties to food and pharmaceutical companies. That's appalling and in my opinion criminal.

6. The word “Convenient” really translates to “Unhealthy”. Generally speaking, truly healthy things aren’t convenient. Get over it. Doing important things for your health means being inconvenienced a bit.

7. Our kids are sick and on too many drugs largely due to the horrible foods we feed them. That too is criminal. 70% of the food our kids eat is “ultra processed”. You need to learn the definition of ultra processed foods if you want to be a part of the solution.

8. Life expectancy is declining in the U.S. while it gets better in every other country you know. If you want to live long and be healthy you have a much better chance if you avoid living like a typical American. Americans don’t do these things:

a. Avoid processed food

b. Exercise daily

c. Get good sleep

What is Metabolic Syndrome? 4 THUGS attempting to kill you and erode the quality of your life. These 4 thugs are: blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and your WEIGHT. Here is the kicker – we open the door and invite these 4 thugs into our living room every day through our daily choices.

Today we are going to show you how to REVERSE Metabolic Syndrome and discuss a proven 10 week program that is specifically designed to reverse blood sugar and cholesterol issues and guaranteed to drive weight loss.

Upfront summary: Why engage a prolonged fast of >24 hours?

1. HUGE benefits – enormous change in your physiology. Too valuable to miss.

2. EASE: Fasting is much easier than you think. The mythical ideas in your head are bad ideas and not facts. Yes, you can and should exercise while fasting. If you feel bad fasting this is simply more evidence that your physiology is in disarray and your need for fasting is greater. Anyone can train their body to burn fat. It’s not a trick, it’s basic physiology that your body owns and can execute.

3. NOTHING: it requires you to do NOTHING. Having said that we will show you exactly how to do it.

4. Personalize it – make it your own journey – how long and how often but include it in your overall life plan. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly.

1. Hydrogen is the smallest element we know of which allows it to easily and quickly travel to every nook and cranny of your body. It can go where no other antioxidant can go, deep inside cells, inside the nucleus and even into your DNA to protect it.

2. Curcumin, fish oil, krill oil, coQ10, resveratrol, Vitamin C, vitamin E – none of these can go where Hydrogen goes or drive the gene changes that Hydrogen causes.

3. Hydroxyl groups - are the most damaging oxidation inside your body. Yet you don’t have an antioxidant or detox system to deal with it. “Hydrogen gobbles them up” quickly and easily. Hydroxyl groups are the primary driver of vascular disease which is our #1 killer.

4. Studies show it reduce risk and actively treats heart disease, diabetes, strokes, Alzheimers, and yes even cancer. These are the biggest KILLERS and H2 can reduce them.

5. Joint pain and arthritis improved under the influence of Hydrogen. The inflammatory nature of the disease is greatly reduced.

Here is our “Top 10 action steps” you can engage to reduce breast cancer risk:

• Vitamin D - one study showed women with vitamin D levels <20 ng/mL = 45% higher risk.

• Plastics – mess with your hormones, studies show strong correlation.

• I can’t find any quoted risk reduction numbers but I would conservatively estimate a risk reduction of 10% by avoiding plastics.

• Sugar & Insulin resistance / diabetes – increases risk by 10-20%

• Organic food – 14,000 food additives and >250 of them have been linked directly linked to breast cancer risk

• Trans Fats & Hydrogenated Oils – avoid processed foods & fast foods (14% incr risk)

• Cruciferous vegetables – veggies in general affects estrogen metabolism

• Reduces your risk by 15%

• Alcohol – moderate drinker (0.5-1/day) 23% increase in risk

• Heavy drinkers (8/week) 60% increase.

• Exercise – reduces risk by 15-20%

• Obesity - For every 5-point increase in BMI, the risk of breast cancer increases by 12%.

• Stress & Sleep – strong correlation with accelerated growth. Night shift. Apnea.

• Weakens immune system status – less vigilant – reduce killer cell population.

Your lifestyle choices are critical to reducing risk
