Insulin therapy, a treatment for diabetes, can cause unwanted weight gain. This episode will cover the link between diabetes, insulin, and gaining weight, as well as how to manage and minimize weight gain. Insulin is a natural hormone produced in the pancreas. When we eat, our pancreas releases insulin to help our bodies produce energy from sugars. Insulin is a vital part of metabolism. Without it, your body would cease to function. Weight gain is a common symptom of diabetes. Compared with people who do not have diabetes, young adults with type-1 diabetes have a higher risk of becoming overweight or obese. To wit, according to World Health Organization estimates (2003), 90 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese. Establishing healthy lifestyle habits can help people: reduce excess body weight,  manage diabetes symptoms, and even  reverse pre-diabetes and insulin resistance. -Coach Be Moore PS: This episode is not a substitute for medical advice.

EP 157 - Does Insulin Make You Gain Weight? Causes and management for diabetics

In today’s episode we’ll cover everything you need to know about dietary fats, including how to make healthier choices without sacrificing taste. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in our diets, we can improve our mood, boost our energy and well-being, and even lose unwanted body fat, easier. “Good” fats Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as the “good fats” because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health. These fats can help to: Lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Lower bad LDL cholesterol levels, while increasing good HDL. Prevent abnormal heart rhythms. Lower triglycerides associated with heart disease and fight inflammation. Lower blood pressure. Prevent atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries). Food sources include: Avocados Olives and olive oil Raw Nuts and nuts oils: almonds, walnuts, macadamia, pecans Raw Seeds and seed oils: Sunflower, sesame, pumpkin seeds, Flaxseed Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines) and fish oil Soybean and safflower oil “Bad” fats Artificial trans fats are considered dangerous. This is the worst type of fat since it not only raises bad LDL cholesterol but also lowers good HDL levels. Artificial trans fats can also create inflammation, are linked to heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions and contribute to insulin resistance. Aim to eliminate it from your diet. Primary sources of Trans fat include: Commercially-baked pastries, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, pizza dough Packaged snack (crackers, microwave popcorn, chips) margarine and vegetable shortening Deep Fried foods (French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, breaded fish) Anything containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, even if it claims to be “trans fat-free” Saturated fat. While not as harmful as trans fat, saturated fat can raise bad LDL cholesterol and too much can negatively impact heart health, so it’s best limited in our diets as well. Primary sources of Saturated fat include: Red meat (beef, lamb, pork) Chicken skin Whole-fat dairy products (milk, cream, cheese) Butter Ice cream Lard Tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil -Coach Be Moore https://EatingForAbs.com #CoachBeDaily #EatingForAbs #Nutrition #Wellness #DietaryFats #Cholesterol #LDL #HDL #Dementia #Omega3

Those of you who have moved, after years living in one city, will feel my pain.  Moving requires change in key relationships, like finding a new barber (ouch), baby sitters, and so many other new spaces. I’ve recently been “gym shopping,” which for me is similar to finding a new church to call home. Here's a glimpse into my experience, what I chose and what I learned. -Coach Be Moore PS: For guidance establishing great health and getting in the best shape of your life, visit https://EatingForAbs.com #CoachBeDaily #EatingForAbs #Training #Relationships

Dealing with ADHD can be incredibly frustrating.  Both on the part of the parent, as well as the child suffering from the impairment. My guest in this episode is Dr. Ericka Goodwin, board certified psychiatrist and Eating For Abs student.  I asked Ericka to join me to discuss her incredible children's book, "How Amari Learned to Love School Again," as well to help me understand the impact of ADHD on children and the family as a whole. I shared my own experience, and got a great understanding of the variety of treatments for ADHD, the difference between the types of medications, and the many treatment options which include therapy, medications, and school (and at home) accommodations. This is a great episode to share with your family.

Due to the volume of real conversations and consistent hard work we've done together, Whitney and I have become good friends. This happens often especially in 1-on-1 coaching, which is what was required to help Whitney make the behavioral changes that kept her off hypertension medications, and eventually helped her lose 38 pounds and keep them off. The first step was convincing her doctor to afford her the chance to make changes at home. Here's how it worked out. -Coach Be Moore #CoachBeDaily #Hypertension #Nutrition #Wellness #loseweight #eatingforabs #e4a

The impact of Alzheimer's disease on a family can feel devastating. Given the current state of affairs, with no cure in sight, the prudent move for families today is the prioritization of preventative practices. I asked my friend Erika to share her family's experience with Alzheimer's disease on this episode.  It is my hope that we'll reach families in time with a message that will move us to action. - Coach Be Moore #CoachBeDaily #Dementia #Alzheimers #Wellness #BrainHealth

When I met Olympia she was helping produce an event in Los Angeles.  I was immediately impressed with her organization and leadership skills, and THEN found out that she was an alum of my undergraduate Alma Mater, Howard University. After she made it clear that I am now considered and old head (I had no clue what the hand signs and spirit calls were, as they were apparently invented well after my graduation), we found common ground in our passion for wellness and community building. Olympia is the founder of SÜPRMARKT, a pop up organic market in Los Angeles, but she's not stopping there... Take a listen to her journey and consider supporting her awesome effort to "Keep Slauson Fresh." @supr.mrkt http://keepslausonfresh.net - Coach Be Moore #CoachBeDaily #EatingForAbs #Nutrition #Crenshaw #FoodDesert #Slauson #OlympiaAuset #HowardAlumni #HBCU

According to some estimates microorganisms in our bodies out number our own cells by as much as 10 to 1. Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, the largest number of which are found in our gut. What is our gut and what does it do?

EP 148 - Understanding Our Beautiful Gut

A buddy and client of mine travels extensively, often finding himself in nutrition deserts or with very limited access to personal time or a gym. He's also a very silly dude, so I find myself often answering very specific questions OR hypothetical questions on how to best navigate an ever-changing  set of environmental challenges. If you were an astronaut who only had 30 days before heading to space... ? This one is fun and informative.  I'd love to hear your answers as well. Take a listen.   -Coach Be Moore #CoachBeDaily #EatingForAbs #Fitness #Travel #fatloss

Let me start by saying that the woman in this story failed herself. She failed in her responsibility to manage her health, and her family is left in sorrow. Now that I've said that, I feel more free to say that this woman was also failed BY the healthcare system.  A culturally responsive pedagogical approach was required to effectively teach her how to make changes that could ease her treatment... That wasn't what we hear in this story. Questions and comments: 347-770-1433 or @CoachBeMoore - Coach Be Moore #CoachBeMoore #EatingForAbs #Nutrition #Mortality #longevity #WesternMedicine

”What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?” In this episode of Coach Be: Daily, I’m going to attempt to explain the difference between fruits and vegetables, and draw a delineation between the two the makes sense. There can be a little guesswork involved with what makes a fruit a fruit and a vegetable a vegetable, and a fair amount of crossover between the two categories depending on whether you’re a botanist, a nutritionist, or a chef.  Let's see if we can make heads or tails of the issue... -Coach Be Moore #CoachBeDaily #Fruit #Vegetable #Nutrition #EatingForAbs #Wellness

EP 144 - Is this a Fruit or a Vegetable?

I was recently speaking with a class at the University of Washington on topics including nutrition and wellness.   During the Q&A, a muslim student asked how he could balance his observation of Ramadan with maintaining his hard earned progress in the gym. Well, this is right up my alley.  Not only have I worked with clients on this  issue before, but one of my former students has built on the work we've done together and is being recognized for his ketogenic experiments during Ramadan.  He is author Daanish Faruqi, and he was kind enough to call in from Jordan to share his approach on Coach Be: Daily.  -Coach Be Moore See Daanish' experiments in real time: @Shaykhketo  Article: https://www.theislamicmonthly.com/a-ketogenic-ramadan-experiment/  #CoachBeDaily #Ramadan #Keto #fasting #islam #IntermittentFasting #Nutrition #Wellness
