My lovely friends, this is a friendly evidence-based post pertaining to the risk reduction of a few well-known health effects of 4n4 and mia. Including: Amenorrhea (loss of regular menstrual period), anaemia, digestive upset, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, general well-being, and osteoporosis. It is quite a long post, but please let me know if there’s any other information you would like me to cover. 💕

🪐 Vitamins and Supplements:

• A-Z Multivitamin. Is beneficial for supplementation. For example, Vitamin C is a vitally important vitamin for the body’s connective tissues, including the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, cellular formation and maturation, resistance to infection, and an increased ability to heal. Additionally, B12 contributes to an adequately functioning nervous system, bone marrow, and intestinal tract. It also acts to increase metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Finally vitamin B2 when combined with Vitamin A promotes good vision and healthy skin, as well as assists in metabolising proteins and fats at a cellular level.

• Calcium and Vitamin D. Seek a preparation which offers 1000mg of calcium and 10-20mcg (400-800 iu) of vitamin D. Vitamin D increases the bodies efficacy during the absorption, retention, and metabolising of calcium. Calcium of course being vital for bone integrity and imperative for the prevention of osteopenia/osteoporosis.

• Iron. An appropriate iron intake will restore the functionality of red blood cells, allowing the proper oxygen transportation around the body, increase focus, energy, athletic performance, and sleep. Having a sufficient iron store will alleviate some commonly experienced symptoms of low iron including fatigue, dizziness, pallor, and shortness of breath. It may also reduce the sensation of cold hands and feet.

• Potassium and Zinc. A lack of zinc impairs the ability to smell and taste. Connecting this impairment to nose blindness. For example, a lack of a sense of smell and taste may impair one’s own ability to detect their own bad breath, BO, and other unpleasant smells that others may be able to detect.

• Omega 3’s - Fish oil, Krill oil, Hemp oil, or Flaxseed oil. Improper dietary intake, or supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids will result in areas of epidermal (skin) dryness, hyperkeratosis, and hyperpigmentation. As well as the formation large scales expose underlying tissue, which are easily infected. The hair becomes sparse, dry, lusterless, and brittle, with a reddish tinge. Furthermore, nails become brittle and dull, tear production reduces, the tears are also significantly less oily leading to increased evaporation contributing to chronically dry, red, and itchy eyes.

If oil supplements are scary for you to intake due to calorie fears (there is only approx 25 calories in 2 average fish oil capsules). There are dietary sources of omega 3 that are relatively low calorie including chia seeds, edamame, and seaweed. However they provide little amounts in comparison to supplementation or traditional dietary sources such as fish, avocado, oils etc.

However this should also be considered when deciding whether to supplement omega 3’s - they stimulate the secretion of leptin, a hormone that decreases appetite and promotes the burning of fat. Through the enabling of conversion of dietary fats into body cells for burning as fuel.

🍄 Dietary Intake

•Bone broth (or vegetable broth if meat is not apart of your diet ☺️) I cannot stress how great bone broth is! Extremely low calorie, but incredibly nutrient-dense. It also acts to decrease the inflammation within the gut that many of us will experience due to our dietary habits. Including conditions such as constipation, gastroparesis, liver disease, bloating, abdominal pain, and stomach ulceration.

Bone broth also contains large amounts of protein, collagen, iron, vitamins A and K, fatty acids, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Protein being the most satiating macronutrient can decrease hunger and associated discomfort. Collagen and the variety of micronutrients within the bone broth contributes to joint and bone health. Bone broth will also contribute to hydration.

•Nutrient-dense foods including blueberries l are among the best sources of anthocyanins (antioxidants) that promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Additionally, red tomatoes and red capsicum (Peppers). Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, which is a type of carotenoid found in red fruits that has powerful antioxidant effect that may help protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

•Fibre is imperative for smooth gastrointestinal function, including regular bowel movements. Fibre is of course typically found in whole fruits and vegetables, beans/lentils, and whole grains. Low calorie fibre sources include: red kidney beans, carrot, and chickpeas. Psyllium, chia seeds are also good sources of fibre. Fibre supplants such as Metamucil may also aid to increase fibre intake. An adequate intake of fibre may reduce the dependence of laxative for bowel movements. Prolonged use of laxatives may create a dependency on them to even have a bowel movement.

🥥 Adequate Hydration

• The best way to ensure adequate hydration is simply by consuming enough water during the day. However, if plain water consumption is difficult, fluid intake will also suffice. Including fluid such as teas, flavoured/enhanced water, diet soft drinks, juices, etc. The optimal fluids to consume in addition to, or instead of simple water to ensure adequate hydration is mineral water, coconut water, or diet electrolyte replacements (Powerade/Gatorade, Pedialyte, Hydralyte). Correct hydration and electrolyte intake will reduce headaches, constipation, and muscle cramps/weakness.

❤️ Reproductive Health

•Amenorrhea is a common experience for those of us with a uterus. However it is imperative to understand that you are more than likely still ovulating despite the lack of a regular menstrual period. Therefore, contraception must still be used. Amenorrhea may be alleviated through dietary supplementation and small changes to the diet to include more micronutrients, but it may not be completely fixed unless there is an increase to body fat percentages.

More Endocrinology Stuff

Not the Oct 15th anon, but figured I'd add some stuff as I'm really interested in the medical aspects of obesity. In the study anon was talking about, they genetically modified mice to secrete loads of adiponectin and no leptin(typical in obesity studies as it makes the mice always feel hungry and lethargic). The chronic hyperadiponectinemia made the mice only gain subcutaneous fat and kept their visceral fat deposit lean and healthy. Consequently, the metabolic health of the mice remained phenomenal, even as they developed "morbid" obesity. There's not actually anything unhealthy about obesity itself, all the health issues are caused by visceral adipocytes becoming hypertrophic and metabolically diseased. If you were to periodically give a fatty acute hyperadiponectinemia, similar stuff would happen. All their excess visceral fat would be redistributed to their subcutaneous fat deposit, and their metabolic health would be perfect. If you looked at their bloodwork, their blood sugar, insulin levels, triglycerides, etc. would all be well within the healthy range. The only way you'd be able to tell they were fat would be their chronic hyperleptinemia, and potentially also chronic hyperadiponectinemia and sex hormone imbalance caused by the aromatase activity in their excess fat. Their body would basically be functioning as normal, just with a thick layer of healthy adipose tissue caking it.

Thank you Professor Thicc!

I was aware keeping subcutaneous fat and avoiding having visceral fat was the way to be healthy while gaining, but I didn't know there was hormones to dictate the way fat deposits (which in retrospect was pretty obvious).

Super interesting! I'm pretty floored about scientists testing that stuff on mice.

"Yes this is were we make the mice obese" sounds more like a fatfur artist desk than a lab.

The Power of Refeeds to Boost Weight Loss

In the quest for weight loss, many of us embark on diets that often involve strict calorie restrictions. While calorie deficits are essential for shedding pounds, prolonged dieting can have its drawbacks, such as metabolic slowdown and decreased motivation. However, there's a strategy gaining popularity among fitness enthusiasts and experts alike: refeeds. Let's explore what refeeds are, why they're beneficial, and how you can incorporate them into your weight loss journey for optimal results.

What Are Refeeds?

Refeeds, also known as "diet breaks" or "refeeding days," are periods where you temporarily increase your calorie intake, usually by consuming more carbohydrates. These short-term increases in calories provide a break from prolonged calorie restriction and can have numerous benefits for both your body and mind.

Benefits of Refeeds for Weight Loss:

1. Metabolic Boost: Refeeds help prevent metabolic slowdown by signaling to your body that it's not in a prolonged state of deprivation. By temporarily increasing your calorie intake, particularly from carbohydrates, you can kickstart your metabolism and keep it functioning optimally.

2. Hormonal Balance: Calorie restriction can disrupt hormone levels related to hunger, satiety, and metabolism. Refeeds, especially those rich in carbohydrates, help normalize hormones like leptin, ghrelin, and thyroid hormones, promoting a healthier hormonal balance.

3. Muscle Glycogen Replenishment: Depleted glycogen stores in the muscles can lead to decreased energy levels and workout performance. Refeeds, with their higher carbohydrate content, help replenish muscle glycogen, improving energy levels and enhancing physical performance during exercise.

4. Psychological Relief: Dieting can take a toll on your mental well-being, leading to feelings of deprivation and frustration. Refeeds provide a psychological break from strict calorie counting and allow you to enjoy foods you love, reducing the risk of binge eating and increasing adherence to your weight loss plan.

5. Prevention of Lean Muscle Loss: In a calorie deficit, your body may break down muscle tissue for energy. Refeeds, particularly those rich in protein, help preserve lean muscle mass by providing a temporary increase in calories and protein, signaling to your body that it's not in a state of starvation.

How does stress influence weight gain or loss?

Stress is an inevitable part of life, affecting us mentally, emotionally, and physically. One of the physical effects it can have is on weight, leading either to weight gain or weight loss, depending on several factors. Understanding the complex relationship between stress and body weight can provide valuable insights into managing both effectively.

The Biology of Stress

Before diving into how stress affects weight, it's essential to understand what happens in the body when you're stressed. Stress triggers the body's "fight or flight" response, which is a natural reaction designed to protect you in dangerous situations. When you feel threatened, your body releases a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones prepare you to face the danger by increasing your heart rate, blood pressure, and energy supplies.

Adrenaline gives you an initial burst of energy and can suppress your appetite temporarily. However, cortisol, the primary stress hormone, remains elevated for longer periods and has more complex effects on your body. When stress becomes chronic, cortisol levels can remain high for extended periods, affecting various bodily functions, including metabolism and appetite regulation.

How Stress Leads to Weight Gain

Increased Appetite and Cravings: One of the most well-known effects of stress is an increase in appetite, particularly cravings for high-calorie, high-fat, and sugary foods. This is often referred to as "stress eating." When cortisol levels rise, your body seeks quick energy sources, which leads to a preference for comfort foods that are rich in fat, sugar, and salt. These foods may temporarily make you feel better by triggering the brain's reward system, but they can also lead to weight gain if consumed regularly during stressful times. Emotional eating, where people eat not because they are physically hungry but because they are trying to cope with their emotions, is another factor in weight gain during stress. Stress eating becomes a way to soothe negative emotions like anxiety, frustration, or sadness, but it doesn’t address the underlying issues.

Slowed Metabolism: Chronic stress can slow down your metabolism. Research has shown that people under constant stress may burn fewer calories than those who are not stressed. Cortisol can influence fat distribution, leading to more fat being stored, particularly around the abdomen. Abdominal fat is not only aesthetically undesirable for many but also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and other metabolic issues like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Lack of Physical Activity: When people are stressed, they often have less time and motivation for physical activity. Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage stress, but when life becomes overwhelming, exercise is often the first thing to go. The combination of reduced physical activity and increased calorie intake can easily lead to weight gain.

Sleep Disruptions: Stress often interferes with sleep, leading to insomnia or poor-quality sleep. Sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy metabolism and regulating hormones that control hunger and fullness, such as ghrelin and leptin. Sleep deprivation can increase hunger, especially cravings for calorie-dense foods, while impairing your ability to feel full. Over time, this imbalance can contribute to weight gain.

Social and Environmental Factors: In stressful situations, social and environmental factors can also contribute to weight gain. For example, people who work in high-stress jobs or live in stressful environments may have limited access to healthy foods or time to cook meals, relying instead on fast food or processed snacks. Stressful work environments can also lead to sedentary behavior, such as sitting at a desk all day, further exacerbating the risk of weight gain.

How Stress Leads to Weight Loss

While stress is often associated with weight gain, some people experience the opposite and lose weight during stressful periods. The factors contributing to weight loss during stress are different but still tied to the body's stress response.

Loss of Appetite For some people, stress has the opposite effect on appetite, causing them to eat less. The fight-or-flight response triggered by adrenaline can suppress hunger, making it difficult for some to eat, even if they know they should. Chronic stress, when severe enough, can lead to ongoing appetite suppression, resulting in unintended weight loss.

Digestive Problems Stress can wreak havoc on the digestive system. It can cause nausea, stomach cramps, or even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), all of which can interfere with regular eating patterns. When your digestive system isn't functioning properly, it can lead to a decreased absorption of nutrients, further contributing to weight loss.

Hyperactivity While some people turn to food for comfort during stressful times, others might experience an increase in hyperactivity or restlessness. Constant movement, fidgeting, or pacing due to anxiety can increase calorie expenditure. Though the increase in calorie burn may seem slight, it can add up over time, leading to weight loss in individuals prone to stress-induced restlessness.

Chronic Conditions In some cases, chronic stress can exacerbate underlying health conditions that lead to weight loss. Conditions like hyperthyroidism, caused by an overactive thyroid gland, can be triggered or worsened by stress, leading to unintentional weight loss. Stress can also weaken the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to infections or illnesses that may cause weight loss.

The Role of Cortisol in Weight Gain and Loss

Cortisol plays a central role in determining whether stress leads to weight gain or weight loss. As mentioned earlier, cortisol increases appetite and can lead to cravings for unhealthy foods. However, its effects on metabolism, fat storage, and appetite can vary depending on a person’s physiology and the type of stress they are experiencing.

Acute Stress In the short term, cortisol can suppress appetite as part of the fight-or-flight response. The body focuses on immediate survival, and digestion becomes a low priority. This is why some people lose weight when going through a stressful event, such as preparing for an important exam or dealing with a family emergency.

Chronic Stress When stress becomes chronic, however, cortisol levels remain elevated, and the body shifts into a state where it conserves energy. This leads to increased fat storage, especially in the abdominal region. Chronic stress often leads to weight gain over time because the body is preparing itself for prolonged periods of perceived danger or difficulty.

Psychological Factors Affecting Weight During Stress

Emotional Coping Mechanisms How a person deals with stress on a psychological level can significantly impact whether they gain or lose weight. Some people use food as a coping mechanism, turning to comfort foods during times of stress. Others may be so overwhelmed that they forget to eat or lose their appetite altogether. Understanding your emotional triggers and how you cope with stress can help in managing your weight.

Body Image and Self-Esteem Stress can negatively impact body image and self-esteem. People under chronic stress may feel worse about their bodies, leading to cycles of emotional eating or, conversely, restrictive eating patterns. This relationship between stress and self-esteem can complicate the issue of weight management during stressful periods.

Social Pressure Societal and cultural pressures can also influence how stress impacts weight. For example, the pressure to maintain a certain body size can cause stress in itself, leading to disordered eating habits like binge eating or excessive dieting. Social media and the portrayal of "ideal" bodies can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy, further complicating the relationship between stress and weight.

Managing Stress to Control Weight

Because stress can have such a profound impact on weight, managing it is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Here are some strategies to help manage stress and prevent its effects on weight:

Regular Exercise Exercise is one of the most effective ways to combat stress. It helps to lower cortisol levels, improve mood through the release of endorphins, and enhance metabolism. Regular physical activity can also help you manage your weight more effectively by burning calories and reducing the likelihood of turning to food for comfort.

Mindful Eating Practicing mindful eating can help you become more aware of your eating habits during stressful times. By paying attention to what you're eating, how much you're eating, and why you're eating, you can prevent stress from leading to overeating or undereating. It’s essential to develop a healthy relationship with food and to recognize when emotions are influencing your eating patterns.

Stress-Relief Techniques Incorporating stress-relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or journaling can help manage stress levels. These practices can reduce the physiological effects of stress and keep cortisol levels in check, minimizing its impact on your weight.

Adequate Sleep Getting enough quality sleep is essential for stress management and weight control. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and establish a regular sleep routine to improve your sleep quality. Adequate sleep helps regulate hormones related to hunger and metabolism, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight.

Healthy Diet Choices Eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help mitigate the effects of stress on your body. Avoiding processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive caffeine or alcohol can reduce the likelihood of stress-related weight gain.

Social Support Leaning on friends, family, or a support network during stressful times can provide emotional relief and reduce the tendency to turn to food for comfort. Sharing your feelings with others can help reduce feelings of isolation and decrease the burden of stress.

Conclusion

The relationship between stress and weight is complex and varies from person to person. While some people may gain weight due to increased appetite, slowed metabolism, and emotional eating, others may lose weight due to loss of appetite, digestive issues, or hyperactivity. The role of cortisol is central in determining how stress affects your body, and managing stress is essential for maintaining a healthy weight. By incorporating exercise, mindful eating, stress-relief techniques, adequate sleep, and a healthy diet, you can mitigate the effects of stress on your weight and lead a healthier, more balanced life. Understanding your personal stress responses and taking proactive steps can make all the difference in maintaining both your mental and physical health during challenging times.

Have you hit a weight loss Plateau?

Metabolic adaptation, also known as adaptive thermogenesis or metabolic slowdown, refers to the physiological changes that occur in the body in response to weight loss or changes in calorie intake. These adaptations are the body's way of defending against further weight loss and maintaining energy balance.

When you reduce calorie intake to lose weight, several metabolic adaptations may occur:

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Reduction: The body's RMR, which represents the calories burned at rest to maintain basic bodily functions, may decrease. This reduction is partly due to loss of body mass (especially lean muscle mass) and a decrease in the energy required to maintain a smaller body.

Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) Reduction: TEF refers to the energy expended during digestion, absorption, and processing of nutrients. With reduced food intake, TEF may decrease slightly.

Spontaneous Physical Activity (SPA) Reduction: SPA includes non-exercise activities like fidgeting, posture changes, etc. It can decrease as a result of lower calorie intake, leading to fewer calories burned throughout the day.

Hormonal Changes: Hormones involved in appetite regulation, such as leptin and ghrelin, may change to signal hunger and satiety differently. Leptin, which signals fullness, may decrease, while ghrelin, which signals hunger, may increase, potentially leading to increased appetite.

Neuroendocrine Adaptations: Changes in hormones like thyroid hormones and cortisol may occur, which can influence metabolic rate and energy expenditure.

These adaptations collectively mean that as weight loss progresses, the rate at which your body burns calories decreases. This can lead to a plateau in weight loss, where further reductions in calorie intake or increases in physical activity may be necessary to continue losing weight.

Metabolic adaptation is a natural response that evolved to help humans survive in times of food scarcity. However, in the context of intentional weight loss, it can pose challenges because it can slow down progress and make sustained weight loss more difficult over time. Strategies to mitigate metabolic adaptation may include maintaining adequate protein intake to preserve muscle mass, varying exercise routines to prevent metabolic efficiency, and periodically adjusting calorie intake to match metabolic changes.

The part of Sleep in Weight Loss

Sleep plays a crucial role in weight loss, influencing various physiological and behavioral aspects that are essential for managing body weight. Adequate sleep helps regulate the hormones responsible for hunger and satiety, such as ghrelin and leptin. When sleep is insufficient, ghrelin levels increase, stimulating appetite, while leptin levels decrease, reducing the feeling of fullness. This hormonal imbalance often leads to increased calorie intake and cravings for high-carbohydrate and sugary foods. Additionally, lack of sleep can negatively impact insulin sensitivity, making it more challenging for the body to regulate blood sugar levels effectively. These disruptions not only contribute to weight gain but also hinder efforts to lose weight.

Moreover, sufficient sleep is critical for maintaining energy levels and cognitive function, both of which are vital for making healthy lifestyle choices. Fatigue resulting from poor sleep can reduce the motivation to engage in physical activity, leading to a sedentary lifestyle that further complicates weight management. It also affects decision-making abilities, increasing the likelihood of opting for convenient, often unhealthy food options. Furthermore, sleep is essential for muscle recovery and growth, especially important for those incorporating exercise into their weight loss regimen. By prioritizing quality sleep, individuals can better manage their hunger, enhance their metabolic health, and maintain the energy necessary for an active, healthy lifestyle, all of which support successful weight loss.

I'm reading this article about auto-immune diseases and especially how these disease seem to affect women FAR more than men (70%+ of people with auto immune diseases are women). The study suggests that this is likely due to the major changes in our hormone cycles we go through in our lives- primarily Puberty & Menopause, (and the more optional pregnancy & breastfeeding) and how those hormones interact with our immune system.

But it was this line in particular that got me thinking:

"Concentration-dependent effects of estrogen on the immune system; the role of progesterone, androgens, leptin, oxytocin, and prolactin; and the interplay between Th1 and Th2 immune responses together maintain a delicate balance between host defense, immunological tolerance and autoimmunity. "

I genuinely wonder what role HRT may play in autoimmune disease, and how 'gender affirming care' might unintentionally lead to autoimmune disease. After more research on this subject, it seems there are some small studies finding various auto-immune issues in transgender individuals after receiving HRT when they otherwise showed little to no genetic predispositions for said diseases. Even more curiously is one study noted that a MtF transitioner's disease IMPROVED after being administered testosterone saying: "One case report described significant improvement of cutaneous lupus in a transgender woman after initiating testosterone treatment"

I found another article saying:

The research, led by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) and published in Clinical Epigenetics, found that hormone therapy could affect certain regions of DNA, [which is] the first step in understanding how [HRT] may impact the immune system. The researchers have begun to tease apart whether the hormone therapy influences immune function and susceptibility to autoimmune disease or infection risk, which affects the sexes differently.

So already some people are noticing a connection between hormones, the immune system, and auto-immune diseases. However there's little, if any, research on this topic, with the known information being anecdotes.

"For example, a young person with a strong family history of autoimmune disease may wish to know if hormonal therapy will increase or decrease their risk of developing disease. Others may worry about hormones altering their susceptibility to infections, which is relevant given the current COVID-19 pandemic. At this stage, we don't know the answers to such questions..."

This article is from 2022, and as of the time I posted this it's 2023. With the increase in trans people seeking medical transition it's scary to see a complete lack of research and knowledge on this subject. A journal from Frontiers published in summer of 2022 says that most research on auto-immune diseases (despite the massive sex discrepancy) is focused on male, cis-gendered men. The journal's abstract also points out the truth that's starting to become more and more apparent:

There is an unmet need for detailed treatment follow-up of the transgender community- little is known of the potential benefits and risks of hormonal supplementation on the immune system, nor indeed on many other health and disease outcomes.

We don't even know if HRT can affect one's ability to heal from infections, and seeing as many who start on HRT later go on to have surgeries that are often quite invasive and have a long arduous healing process, this is very worrying.

Sure, all medications have side-effects. Sure, people are willing to put up with said side-effects so long as they don't face the original symptoms that they're treating. But when is it too much? That doctors are harming their patients? Of course, we just don't know the full effects and correlation, but what we do know is worrying.

Once again, trans healthcare is under-funded, under-researched, and could potentially lead to undue harm, putting thousands at a risk they aren't even aware of. Is it really informed consent if we don't know the side-effects? is it really informed consent if we're learning the effects as we go along?

The Strange Connection Between Sleep and Weight Loss

In our relentless pursuit of productivity and packed schedules, the act of securing a restorative night's sleep often becomes a luxury we can ill afford. We sacrifice precious hours of slumber in the name of work deadlines, Netflix binges, or the endless scroll of our smartphones. But what if we told you that the quantity and quality of your sleep are inextricably linked to your body weight? That's right—there exists a curious and captivating connection between the realm of sleep and the pursuit of weight loss. In this deep dive into the enigmatic relationship between sleep and shedding those extra pounds, we'll unravel the astonishing science that underpins this paradoxical phenomenon.

Deciphering Sleep Cycles: A Complex Ballet

To appreciate the complex interplay between sleep and weight loss, it is imperative to grasp the intricacies of sleep cycles. Sleep is no monolithic state but an ever-evolving process characterized by distinct stages. Two primary categories emerge: rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. REM sleep, the stage where dreams unfurl their mysteries, stands as the guardian of cognitive function and memory consolidation.

The Weight Loss Enigma: A Scientific Prelude Before we embark on our exploration of the labyrinthine connection between sleep and weight, let's take a moment to cast a fleeting glance at the scientific essence of weight loss. At its core, weight loss revolves around the principle of expending more calories than one consumes. Yet, this simplistic equation barely scratches the surface of the intricate dance of hormones, metabolism, and behaviors that orchestrate our body weight.

Hormonal Chaos: The Sleep-Weight Nexus One of the pivotal mechanisms of knitting sleep and weight together is the profound impact of sleep deprivation on our hormonal orchestra. Sleep deprivation disrupts the delicate equilibrium of hunger-related hormones, ushering in an era of heightened ghrelin, the insatiable appetite stimulator, and a dwindling supply of leptin, the herald of fullness.

The Temptation Quandary: Sleep's Influence on Appetite It should come as no surprise that sleep deprivation often transforms us into seekers of solace in the arms of sugary, calorie-laden comfort foods. The loss of sleep casts a shadow over the prefrontal cortex, the commander of decision-making and impulse control, making the midnight snack a siren's call nearly impossible to resist.

Slumber's Subdued Metabolism: A Puzzling Twist Another fascinating facet of the sleep-weight saga is its compelling influence on metabolism. Sleep deprivation administers a sluggish blow to your metabolic furnace, rendering the calorie-burning process less efficient. This means that even if your dietary intake remains constant, sleeplessness may surreptitiously tip the scales toward weight gain.

REM Sleep: The Hero in This Tale In the constellation of sleep stages, REM sleep emerges as a luminary of unparalleled significance in the interplay between sleep and weight. During the reign of REM, your brain engages in a symphony of activity, choreographing increased incineration of calories and a mesmerizing breakdown of fat.

The Sleep-Weight Nexus: Fathoming the Fundamentals To plunge even deeper into the enigmatic alliance of sleep and weight loss, we must lay bare the foundations that underlie this complex relationship. Sleep is no pedestrian biological ritual but an intricately woven tapestry of stages, including the ever-elusive REM and the steadfast non-REM.

The Hormonal Web: Ghrelin and Leptin's Slumbering Dance At the heart of the sleep-weight connection, a hormonal waltz unfolds, guided by the enigmatic maestros, ghrelin, and leptin, the twin titans of hunger regulation. The potency of these hormones waxes and wanes, dictated by the tapestry of sleep's duration and quality.

The Modern Plague: Sleep Starvation In our brave new world, governed by relentless schedules and ceaseless connectivity, sleep often falls victim to our ceaseless pursuit of productivity, pleasure, and pixelated screens. The outcome? Chronic sleep deprivation—a relentless juggernaut that threatens to capsize our weight loss ambitions.

Unmasking the Silent Predators: Sleep Disorders As silent as shadows, sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea prowl our nights, often eluding detection. Yet, their impact reverberates far beyond the realm of dreams, reaching into the domain of weight gain and obesity.

The Alchemy of Sleep and Hunger: Ghrelin and Leptin's Pas de Deux Delving deeper into the labyrinthine science of sleep and weight, let us embark on a voyage into the inner workings of ghrelin and leptin—two hormonal architects whose designs are profoundly influenced by the contours of your sleep patterns.

Slumber's Metabolic Symphony: An Ode to Renewal Sleep unfurls a clandestine yet magnificent symphony of metabolic rejuvenation. In the realm of dreams, your body undertakes essential repairs and restoration, rekindling your metabolic vigor and, paradoxically, fostering weight loss.

Hormones and Weight Gain: How to Regulate the Hormones that Influence Your Weight

Introduction:-

Hormones are one of the most important participants in this delicate dance, which involves many different aspects in maintaining a healthy weight. Hormones are endocrine system-produced chemical messengers that control a number of body processes, such as metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Unbalanced hormones can lead to weight gain and make it difficult to lose the additional pounds. In this post, we'll examine the relationship between hormones and weight gain and look at methods for rebalancing these hormonal regulators.

Insulin: Master of Blood Sugar

The pancreas produces insulin, a crucial hormone that controls blood sugar levels. When we eat carbs, our bodies convert them to glucose, which raises blood sugar levels. Insulin aids in the movement of circulation glucose into or into the storage of glucose in cells. However, regular use of sugary meals and refined carbs can cause insulin resistance, in which cells lose their receptivity to insulin. Higher insulin levels are the result, and this might promote the storage of fat, particularly around the abdomen.

Fix: Opt for complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables that have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels. Include protein and healthy fats in your meals to slow down the absorption of glucose. Engage in regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization.

Leptin: The Satiety Signal

Leptin, often called the "satiety hormone," is produced by fat cells and helps regulate appetite and metabolism. It signals the brain when you've had enough to eat, reducing hunger. However, in cases of obesity, the body can develop leptin resistance, leading to a lack of proper appetite regulation.

Fix: Focus on whole foods that are nutrient-dense to support healthy leptin levels. Prioritize sleep, as inadequate sleep can disrupt leptin production. Manage stress, as chronic stress can contribute to hormonal imbalances, including

leptin resistance.

Ghrelin: The Hunger Hormone

Ghrelin, produced in the stomach, is known as the "hunger hormone" because it stimulates appetite. It increases before meals and decreases after eating. Sleep deprivation and irregular eating patterns can lead to elevated ghrelin levels, causing overeating and weight gain.

Fix: Establish regular mealtimes to help regulate ghrelin secretion. Get sufficient sleep, as sleep deprivation can lead to higher ghrelin levels and increased hunger. Stay hydrated, as dehydration can sometimes be mistaken for hunger.

Cortisol: The Stress Hormone

Cortisol, released by the adrenal glands in response to stress, plays a vital role in metabolism and fat storage. Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which, over time, can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the midsection.

Fix: Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing, or spending time in nature. Engage in regular physical activity, which can help lower cortisol levels. Ensure adequate sleep, as sleep deprivation can further elevate cortisol levels.

Thyroid Hormones: Metabolic Regulators

Thyroid hormones, including T3 and T4, play a crucial role in regulating metabolism. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to weight gain, as it slows down metabolic processes.

Fix: Consume iodine-rich foods like seafood and seaweed to support thyroid function. Ensure you're getting enough selenium, zinc, and other nutrients that are essential for thyroid health. Consult a healthcare professional if you suspect thyroid issues. Weight Loss Solutions

Conclusion:-

In summary, hormones are important for controlling weight. You can aim to achieve a healthy weight and restore hormonal balance by adopting a holistic strategy that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, stress management, enough sleep, and seeing a specialist when necessary. Be patient and consistent as you implement these lifestyle modifications because every person's body is different.

Women's Hormones

Your hormones are the base of your health, form, and function. If hormones aren't at their optimal levels you are going to feel it. Today we are just going to be briefly discussing a few major hormones, what they do, and how to potentially optimize them for weight loss and feeling your best.

First, let's talk about Cortisol and Thyroid Hormones. Cortisol is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands that help your body cope with stressful situations. When chronically elevated (meaning you are stressed all the time) this becomes a problem. Cortisol isn't bad, it's good, but it starts messing things up when you are producing it all day, every day. Cortisol shuts down other hormone pathways while it is elevated in order to get you out of danger. In doing this it lowers sex hormones, Testosterone, Estrogen, and Progesterone.

You need these hormones for proper metabolism, energy output, sleep, sex, and mood regulation, amongst other things. When chronically stressed your Thyroid hormones are also affected. Your Thyroid produces hormones that help with glucose uptake, energy, metabolism, and a host of other bodily functions, and when cortisol is high it inhibits metabolic output and lowers metabolic rate. So, needless to say, managing your stress is a must if you want to have balanced hormones.

The biggest contributors to thyroid dysfunction are insulin resistance and excess cortisol. Thyroid hormones and insulin resistance are interlinked and dysfunction with one can lead to dysfunction in another. Your Thyroid produces TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), T3, and T4. Low T4 levels are often correlated with increased visceral fat and insulin resistance. T3 helps improve glucose metabolism. Having a low-salt diet is a big contributor to Thyroid dysfunction and insulin resistance. Our body needs sodium, ATP, and magnesium to get iodine into the Thyroid. Salt restriction makes the body release insulin in order to retain sodium, as a result, it raises aldosterone, which increases oxidative stress ad cortisol. So, as you can see, it can be a vicious cycle and one always affects the other.

Next, we will talk about Leptin. This is a satiety hormone, it is released when you are full from eating. When Leptin is chronically elevated you become leptin resistant, very much like insulin resistance. When you are eating all the time, snacking or eating 6 meals per day, and never sitting down to eat a real meal where you were hungry then ate to satiety, your leptin gets released all the time, therefore your cells become insensitive to their cue. Leptin is also stimulated by fat tissue. So the more fat tissue you have the more leptin you will produce.

The third hormone I want to touch on is Testosterone. We all make Testosterone. Men and women, men just make more of it. It helps us gain and maintain lean muscle mass and it suppresses fat gain, amongst other things. It also gives us energy and a sex drive! When testosterone is low it affects our sleep, skeletal muscle mass, and Basal Metabolic Rate (this is how many calories your body burns to stay alive) You need sleep, muscle mass, and a healthy BMR to feel good and live a long healthy, life.

Consuming alcohol lowers testosterone by converting it to estrogen-this is not good for men and women! And just 4 nights of sleeping 4.5 hours reduces testosterone, reduces insulin sensitivity, increases ghrelin (your hunger hormone), and reduces Leptin. Prolonged calorie restriction also reduces testosterone. Excess body fat lowers testosterone by aromatizing it into estrogen. One other hormone that elevates testosterone is Dopamine. Foods that support dopamine production are beets, eggs, nuts, dairy, and meat. Chocolate is a good one too, just make sure it is dark and minimally processed.

Lastly, I want to talk about Estrogen. Estrogen and Progesterone are made by the pituitary gland. Progesterone is a calming hormone that aids in better sleep and declines with age. But Estrogen tends to get a bad rap for being known as a hormone that promotes fat storage in the breasts, hips, butt, and legs, but NOT Abdominal Visceral fat. Your body makes 3 types of Estrogen: Estrone, Estradiol, and Estriol. Ladies, if you are pear-shaped, be thankful, this is a good thing and will benefit you in the long run. This is also why women look different than men. We have more Estrogen than they do. However, Estrogen has a lot of important functions such as regulating bone turnover and cholesterol levels. It isn't bad, but when it's out of balance with your other hormones it CAN lead to negative health implications. Low estrogen causes a drop in serotonin, resulting in moodiness, irritability, and increased appetite. Low estrogen also often leads to weight gain. This is why often women in peri-menopause and menopause see a rise in belly fat because their estrogen is dropping, along with progesterone and testosterone. Probiotic-rich foods, such as Kefir, sauerkraut, yogurt with live cultures, and other fermented foods are great for the gut and increase serotonin. Typically women start seeing a decline in Estrogen in their forties. Chronic low-calorie diets, chronic stress, ovary removal, overtraining, and insulin resistance, also lower estrogen. Too much estrogen is also a problem for women and men. Excess alcohol consumption and obesity are the biggest cause of this. Increasing exercise, fiber, and cruciferous vegetables reducing alcohol consumption, and removing xenoestrogens are ways to lower estrogen.

Your hormone health and metabolic function determine the way your body will regulate its energy expenditure, satiety, and thyroid function. The best way to make sure you are optimizing your hormones is to find out what your lab values are either through your General Practioner or a Functional Medicine Practioner. Then, start moving each day, Eat REAL food, get sunshine, reduce your stress, and take back your HEALTH!

To add on to this there is a famous case study on how literally fasting for a year lead to reaching and keeping a target weight.

Angus Barbieri lost 125kg with direct and regular medical supervision as well as vitamin and mineral supplementation in order to avoid deficiency.

It is, however, not so simple. Prenatal exposure to famine has permanent effects on health. See the dutch hunger winter and the great chinese famine.

Aside from correlations of obesity with prenatal famine exposure they also found a propensity for high fat diets. The mechanism of this effect seems to be a modification in incretin and leptin levels. These epigenetic effects even were passed down to the grandchildren.

This has implications for just how possible long term weight loss is for a person. While someone can be lactose intolerant, it is possible to change that through genetic engineering, exemplified by Thought Emporium ( See video below ). But the fact remains that this is not a very accessible intervention. Clinically they just came out with sickle cell anemia treatment in like 2024 and it costs millions of dollars.

I suspect that apparent contradictions in caloric restriction and long term weight loss studies is likely a function of these epigenetic changes. In extreme cases like Prader–Willi syndrome I think there is basically no realistic scenario of sticking to a restricted caloric diet because it literally feels like starvation constantly. How close is this case to what the populations exposured to famine I cannot say.

Just found out that the dietary calorie is still measured by burning food in a "bomb calorimeter" and then measuring the heat produced. There's no solid evidence that this method is at all equivalent to how our bodies process food (an entirely different chemical process from combustion), the accuracy of this system has been disputed for as long as it's existed, and there are no available alternatives

There are 4800 calories in a kilogram of dry sawdust even though wood is completely indigestible to humans, because calories don't measure nutritional value, just how well something burns

Nutritional "science" is pure bullshit

How Using a Sauna Can Boost Weight Loss for Athletes

In the competitive realm of athletics, every advantage counts. Athletes are continually seeking methods to enhance their performance, improve recovery, and maintain optimal body composition. One increasingly popular strategy that has emerged in recent years is the use of a sauna for weight loss. While many people associate sauna use primarily with relaxation, the benefits extend far beyond mere stress relief. For athletes, regular sauna sessions can serve as a potent tool in their weight management arsenal, offering a range of physiological and psychological benefits that can contribute to their overall fitness goals.

Understanding the Mechanisms of Sauna Use

Sauna therapy involves exposure to high temperatures, typically between 150 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit (65 to 90 degrees Celsius). This heat exposure triggers various physiological responses in the body that can support weight loss efforts. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for athletes looking to leverage sauna use effectively.

1. Increased Caloric Expenditure

One of the most immediate effects of using a sauna is an increase in heart rate and metabolic rate. The high temperatures require the body to work harder to maintain its core temperature, leading to increased caloric expenditure. Studies have shown that spending time in a sauna can elevate heart rates to levels similar to those experienced during moderate physical activity.

While the exact number of calories burned during a sauna session can vary based on individual factors such as body weight and duration of exposure, it is clear that sauna use can contribute to overall caloric burn. For athletes aiming to create a caloric deficit for weight loss, incorporating sauna sessions into their routine can be an effective strategy.

2. Enhanced Recovery and Muscle Relaxation

Weight loss is not solely about burning calories; it also involves effective recovery and muscle health. Athletes who engage in intense training often experience muscle soreness and fatigue. Sauna therapy can aid in the recovery process by promoting muscle relaxation and reducing tension.

The heat from the sauna increases blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles. This enhanced circulation can facilitate quicker recovery, allowing athletes to train more effectively and consistently. By integrating sauna use into their recovery routines, athletes may find that they can push harder during workouts, ultimately leading to improved weight loss results.

3. Detoxification and Improved Metabolism

Another benefit of sauna use is its potential for detoxification. Sweating in a sauna helps the body eliminate toxins and impurities, which can accumulate due to environmental exposures and metabolic processes. This detoxification process can support overall health and well-being, making it easier for athletes to maintain their focus on weight loss goals.

Moreover, regular sauna use has been linked to improved metabolic function. The heat exposure may stimulate the production of certain hormones, such as norepinephrine, which can enhance fat oxidation and promote the utilization of stored fat for energy. This metabolic boost can be particularly beneficial for athletes seeking to shed excess body fat.

4. Appetite Regulation

Sauna therapy may also play a role in appetite regulation. After a sauna session, many individuals report feeling less hungry and more satisfied. This effect can be attributed to changes in hormone levels related to appetite control, such as ghrelin and leptin. By helping athletes manage their appetite, sauna use can contribute to more mindful eating habits and support weight loss efforts.

When athletes are better able to regulate their hunger cues, they are more likely to make healthier food choices and resist the temptation to overeat. This psychological aspect of weight loss is crucial for long-term success.

5. Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity

Athletes often face immense pressure to perform at their best. This stress can lead to emotional eating and hinder weight loss efforts. Sauna therapy provides a tranquil environment that promotes relaxation and stress relief. The heat can help lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, leading to a calmer state of mind.

By incorporating sauna sessions into their routines, athletes can create a dedicated time for relaxation and mental clarity. This focus on mental well-being can enhance their overall approach to training and nutrition, supporting their weight loss goals.

Incorporating Sauna Use into an Athlete's Routine

To effectively leverage the benefits of a sauna for weight loss, athletes should consider a few key strategies when incorporating sauna sessions into their routines:

1. Frequency and Duration

Athletes can benefit from regular sauna use, with sessions typically lasting between 15 to 30 minutes. Depending on individual tolerance and preferences, incorporating sauna sessions two to three times per week can yield positive results. However, athletes should listen to their bodies and adjust the frequency and duration as needed.

2. Hydration is Key

Given the potential for significant fluid loss through sweating, staying hydrated is crucial when using a sauna. Athletes should ensure they drink plenty of water before and after their sauna sessions to maintain optimal hydration levels. Dehydration can negatively impact performance and recovery, so prioritizing fluid intake is essential.

3. Combine with Other Recovery Techniques

Sauna therapy can be most effective when combined with other recovery techniques, such as stretching, foam rolling, and proper nutrition. By creating a comprehensive recovery routine, athletes can maximize the benefits of sauna use and enhance their overall weight loss efforts.

4. Monitor Progress

Athletes should keep track of their weight loss progress and overall well-being as they incorporate sauna therapy into their routines. Monitoring changes in body composition, performance, and recovery can help athletes assess the effectiveness of their sauna use and make necessary adjustments to their training and nutrition plans.

Conclusion

For athletes seeking to optimize their weight loss efforts, utilizing a sauna for weight loss presents a unique opportunity to enhance recovery, regulate appetite, and support overall metabolic health. The physiological benefits of sauna therapy, coupled with its potential for stress reduction and relaxation, make it a valuable addition to any athlete's routine. Brands like Prime Recovery are committed to providing resources and facilities that promote effective recovery practices, including sauna therapy. By integrating sauna sessions into their training regimens, athletes can unlock their full potential and achieve their weight management goals while staying healthy and injury-free.
