The Mood and Food connection: What's eating you???

In our society today, there are SO many excuses as to why our bodies are out of balance, both physically and emotionally. Whether it be not enough time, overeating, or not eating at all, these can all get in the way of how we act in general and really affects our mood among other things.

The first physiological trigger of negative mood is hypoglycemia-skipping meals, not eating enough at meals, low blood sugar compensation by adding extra meals--- all of these create mood swings easily and can make one irritable and anxious, just to name a few side effects.

Did you know the # 1 cause of domestic violence is hypoglycemia?  Bipolar disorder can be traced back to hypoglycemic swings as well.

What can we do to help control this through supplements? Of course, we want to look at our dietary needs and concentrate on getting quality proteins, healthy fats and avoiding high carbohydrate meals(stick to lower carbohydrate nutrient dense complex carb meals)


-Chromium helps stabilize blood sugar. 800 -1000mg a day divided with meals.
-L-Glutamine 500-1500mg of it divided morning/evening
-a good multivitamin should also be included

-with these added supplements, client should have more stable blood sugar in 24/48 hrs and feel better with relief of headaches, spaciness, irritability...

If the above doesn't work, try eliminating gluten containing foods next, as gluten can spark reactive hypoglycemia.

Depression and anxiety still present though, so try adding these powerful amino acids to the mix:

Neurotransmitters: 4 (regulate mood and appetite)
1)seratonin-natural antidepressants  precursor: L-tryptophan-converts to 5-HTP
seratonin-one of first nutrients lost to a too low calorie diet-females twice as likely to be anxious/depressed as males
2)catechomins-natural stimulants L-tyrosine(direct precursor)/L-phenalanine-500 mg lowest dose.
3)gaba-natural tranquilizer-Taurine and Theanine increases GABA levels
4)endorphins- natural painkillers/euphoriants - D-phenalalinine slows down brains destruction of endorphins and can help w/ stopping pain

Protein is made up of amino acids...these neurotransmitters are all amino acids, therefore, does it make much sense to totally avoid protein (animal protein at that) and just eat high carbohydrate foods (which further strips the brain of amino acids).

Therefore, the point of this blog is to stress the importance these supplements can have on mood and help a person get back on track. First remember to get your diet/nutrition in check, and then you can start to add in amino acids to the mix. You must find out which amino acids work for you because you can't just take a bunch and hope they work, because they can have very mild side effects if taken in abundance or just the wrong ones your body specifically needs. So take some time and figure it out, I hope this helps everyone be happier and healthier!

Thanks!

Postworkout shake...What to put in it for optimal results?

So I read a lot about nutrition obviously, and have always wondered what the ideal postworkout shake is as far as what kind of protein, carbs etc to put in the shake. Obviously you must take into account your goals and what exactly you are trying to achieve. If you are an endurance athlete you probably are going to want a heavy carb dose to replenish those lost glycogen stores, as well as a moderate dose of protein. For a bodybuilder/athlete in the offseason trying to put on weight or add lean muscle, a moderate to high dose of simple carbs and moderate dose of protein (2 scoops is pretty standard) mixed with water is pretty solid.

If physique is all you are concerned about and trying to realllly lean out, then I'd just stick to the protein bc the postworkout carbs are kind of unnecessary.

But, if your goal is to increase lean mass and replenish glycogen stores, you can't go wrong with some protein and a few rice cakes with RAW HONEY on them. Honey is great because not only is it a simple sugar but contains so many digestive enzymes and has numerous health benefits in aiding digestion etc. Also, come to find out honey improves muscle recovery and helps with soreness.

So in addition to your postworkout blend, you can add some branch chain amino acids to help w/ recovery as well as a little creatine monohydrate to help w/ ATP increase as well for more "push" for your next workout.

Try these out and let me know what you think. Just be sure to STAY AWAY from fats immediately after your workout when drinking your postworkout shake. We want those nutrients in our muscles FAST and we can't have fat slowing the digestion process!

Until next time, train hard and remember: This is a LIFESTYLE.

Try this awesome easy recipe for breakfast OR preworkout!

Ok, so I think it's safe to say that we all know that the "instant" oatmeal in packets contains a lot of refined sugar. I believe in one packet there is at least like 15 g of sugar, and come on, one packet is NEVER enough to fill us up. So already, 2 packets of oatmeal can already add up to almost a can of soda! Gross!

The solution. Grab a high powered food processor or blender (hint hint buy a VITAMIX) :)
Blend your favorite berries (I like plain old strawberries...and add some stevia to the mix to sweeten it up)

And bam...a lovely breakfast and super ultra healthy for you too! (I also like to throw my protein powder in my oatmeal (something like a nice chocolate strawberry oatmeal-if I had chocolate protein powder)

Try it out!!!

Remember 9/11 and be grateful...

Now, I know I normally obviously blog about training, nutrition and things relating to health. But instead of health in terms of those above things, lets remember how healthy it is to maintain important relationships with the ones you love. It's a day like today that reminds us to keep in touch with those closest to us...whether it be through phone, email, text, it doesn't matter.

The window of life can close SO quickly and in the grand scheme of things, things like competing in fitness shows etc are so small and insignificant. I've got to remind myself a lot of times to make that phone call to a loved one, because you just never know. Life is so unpredictable. Don't have any regrets.

In addition, a day like today, although sad, tells us all to get busy LIVING. There must be a fine balance of work and play in life. Now, I know too many people that play entirely way too much, never accomplishing what they so called really "aspire" or "dream" of doing. Other people work a lot, (myself included) and dont' spend enough time enjoying life and soaking up all the wonderful things it involves. Have that balance. Live with no regrets, and do what feels right and stay close to the ones that mean the most.

Be you, be true. And never forget 9/11/2001
