Caloric Restriction and The Principles of Metabolic Therapies
Reversing chronic and life-threatening diseases and extending the lifespan of a species.
A relatively new body of research known as caloric restriction is providing additional findings that support Metabolic Therapies' philosophy and protocols…that it is ultimately the quality and quantity of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that determine the "biochemical" health and vitality of an individual. In fact, to date it is the only scientifically proven method known to increase both the median and maximal lifespan.
Beyond Caloric Restriction
Nutritional deficiencies do not cause disease…dis-ease causes nutritional deficiencies.
Chronic disease and aging is not due to a singular aspect of physiology (e.g., oxidative stress), system (e.g., neuroendocrine), or nutritional deficiency, but results from any physiologic demand that ultimately compromises energy, structure, or function beyond homeostatic limits, and the tissues or organs involved.
Sea Vegetables
The most primordial vegetables on earth have surprising health benefits.
Sea vegetables constitute a primary food group that is missing from the American diet. They contain as much as ten times the nutrient content as land vegetables.
Patterns of Disease
Why there have been no cures for chronic and life-threatening diseases, or the common cold?
A brief discussion of some of the fundamental physiologic relationships as pivotal points in the disease process, as well as the body's ability to heal.
The Skinny on Fats and Lipids
Medical opinion is not supported by medical research.
Fats that protect against infectious diseases such as herpes and aids…fats that help you lose weight…the truth about unsaturated and saturated fats may surprise you.
Diabetes
Why suffer with diabetes?
Diabetes is one of the country's fastest growing and most dangerous diseases. Approximately 16 million people in the U.S. (6% of the population) suffer from this disease and an additional one million are diagnosed each year with an estimated 12% of the population being undiagnosed.
