Epigenetic Imprints: The Hidden Influence on Weight Management

Recent scientific discoveries have unveiled a fascinating aspect of weight management: the concept of "epigenetic memory" in adipose tissue. This phenomenon sheds light on why maintaining weight loss can be such a formidable challenge for many individuals[1][2]. The Epigenetic Landscape of Adipose Tissue Epigenetics refers to reversible alterations in gene activity that occur without changing the DNA sequence itself. These modifications can be influenced by various factors, including diet, physical...

The Ketogenic Diet – is it suitable for all?

The ketogenic diet, commonly known as the keto diet, has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential benefits in weight management and various health conditions. This high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet aims to induce a metabolic state called ketosis, where the body relies on ketone bodies derived from fat as its primary energy source instead of glucose from carbohydrates. While the keto diet has shown promise in several areas, it is essential to understand its mechanisms, benefits...

Biotransformation: The Key to Detoxification and Optimal Health

Biotransformation is an intricate biochemical process, and is a cornerstone of human health. It is the body's remarkable ability to convert a wide array of substances, including drugs, toxins; both endogenous and exogenous, and dietary compounds, into different chemical forms. While the liver serves as the primary hub for biotransformation, the kidneys and intestines also play vital roles in this complex process[1]. More recently the importance of the human microbiome as a key community that affect...

Metabolism Weight management Energy

Calories are NOT Equal

For many years the perceived understanding/dogma has been, and remains to a large extent, embedded in the comprehension that all consumed calories derived from food/drink are equal. Just to revisit the definition of what a calorie is - Calories are a measure of energy. "Small" calories (cal) estimate the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of exactly one gram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmospheric pressure, and “big” calories, also known as kilogram calories (Cal), are more...

Ultra-Processed Foods – Can/should they be made Healthier?

Ultra-processed foods are understood to be detrimental to human health across several parameters, including macronutrient and micronutrient composition, fibre, effects of food additives, toxins, heat exposure, and packaging.[1] They are only cheap (as promoted by various MPs) when the costs of their negative metabolic effects are externalised to personal health care and public health budgets. The cost of the metabolically related and rapidly increasing obesity crisis and just one of the consequences...

HIIT and TRF resolves HbA1c and belly fat

The start of any new year always encourages a mixture of reflection and forward views, some of which may include changing body mass and shape as well as adopting a healthier lifestyle. Of course, there are a multitude of propositions to aim for, many of which are short-lived. But if you are wanting to modify visceral fat, control blood sugar and improve muscle-to -fat ratio and do it quickly then you will be comforted to learn of a successful trial published in the well-known Cell Metabolism Journal[1]...

Food As Medicine

An article in Nature Medicine out in October 2022 sets out some of the developing understanding of using food as medicine[1]. Whilst for those practitioners already immersed in this strategic use it seems obvious, it is important to remember that many practitioners are not. In turn, many people and rather depressingly most government ministers are comfortable with the benign approach to food as energy/profit only. The authors of this paper identify two important areas (in their opinion) that need...

Specialist Probiotics & Fat-Soluble Vitamins

It seems that these two long-standing areas of oral intervention in nutritional therapy and related clinical management are experiencing an ongoing and much-welcomed update in terms of application and use. Specialist Probiotics Probiotics are steadily evolving their application into specific clinical needs with recognised genera and strains (such as Akkermansia muciniphila), as opposed to their more familiar, nonspecific ecologic application. Research papers continue to show a steady progression...

‘Here’s the thing’

In clinical practice, where lifestyle intervention is the primary strategy, it can be a real challenge to firstly motivate for change and then facilitate ongoing adoption of changed behaviours to create an evolved and enhanced health status. This can be so problematic that many primary healthcare professionals more familiar with pharmaceutical allocation find the prospect of an adaptive approach too off-putting. On the other side, there are many who pivot from pharmaceutical approaches to nutraceutical...
