The potential influences on metabolism can be
grouped into nine key factors:

  1. Adrenal/thyroid/pancreas function and their effects on stress hormones.

  5. Environmental stressors.
  6. Detoxification capacity of the body.
  7. Oxidative stress.
  8. Genetic expression.
  9. Diet and lifestyle.


Dietary Principles:

  1. Follow a Paleo diet "If it doesn’t fly, swim, walk or is green, don’t eat it" Charles Poliquin.
  2. Only eat only fibrous carbs with high alkalinity. You will need the high fiber foods to balance the high protein content and balance the pH level. Kale, Watercress and Brocolli are the top 3 everyone should be having each day.
  3. Eat protein every 2-3 hours
  4. Drink a post-work-out shake
  5. Don’t rely on incomplete protein
  6. Use the outside of the grocery store, avoid boxed and processed foods.
  7. Use the insulin index, glycemic index and glycemic load. Reference: http://www.mendosa.com.
  8. Read labels and avoid all trans fats and words you can't pronounce.
  9. Rotate food sources to avoid allergies. Dont eat the same food two days in a row.
  10. Avoid all chemicals.
