Hello to all,
Our newsletter today concerns the molecular biochemistry pathway known as gluconeogenesis. This discussion describes how your body converts protein (from any source) into glucose (sugar) on a continual 24-hour basis for your entire life. 

For many years I traveled 40 weekends out of the year teaching physicians basic biochemistry so they could help their patients maintain proper weight, overcome type II diabetes, stabilize and reverse epilepsy and reverse many other metabolic diseases. Gluconeogenesis was far and away the most interesting segment of the seminar for the docs.

Why?

All doctors had to memorize this pathway in their education. But very few were taught how to apply gluconeogenesis in their daily practices. It is critical understanding. One simply cannot make correct food choices without knowing and adhering to protein to sugar conversion facts.

What are these scientific truths?

-It is known that anywhere from 25 to 32 % of protein is  converted into sugar.
-Protein conversion helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
-Eating Carbohydrate to provide needed sugar, in the strictest
  scientific terms, is unnecessary because gluconeogenesis
  will provide all the sugar one needs, automatically every  single day. ( this part always shocked the docs ).

As you read the article learn why, in those that need to lose weight or reverse type II diabetes or control blood glucose levels for any number of other diseases, have to apply the correct understanding of all facets of gluconeogenesis in their daily lives.

All the best as you deepen your understanding of human metabolism,
Dr Payne

Hello to all,
Our newsletter today is critical understanding for every single one of us. From the Journal Psychology  and written by Georgia Ede MD. This is the best stand alone article I have ever read in my career that lays out ACCURATE scientific information that all of us need to institute a healthy life plan.

So.......

*What is cholesterol, where does it come from, and what does it do in my brain and body?

*How does the brain actually make cholesterol within itself so that you can maintain sufficient cholesterol to power your brain

*How do statins (cholesterol lowering medications) effect our brains and body?

*What is the HMG CoA brain and liver pathway and how do statins effect this critical function?

*Should you be concerned about using statin meds?

*What is insulin resistance and how does it cause heart disease?

*Does sugar and other highly processed food actually cause high LDL levels ( not saturated fat or cholesterol)?

*Are statins really effective in preventing first time heart attacks?

In light of this article (and many others), should you undertake a new eating habit to reduce insulin resistance and improve your body's biochemistry rather than  making no lifestyle improvements and relying only on medication to prevent heart disease ?

Please share this newsletter far and wide to help others gain a better understanding about how to really improve their health.

Please read the article and reread it. When finished you should be able to answer for yourself all the provocative questions above.

All the best,
Dr Payne
