Track Your Wheat Belly Transformation
Health, weight, and appearance are transformed by living the Wheat Belly lifestyle. You can see it on the face with reduced puffiness and edema and smoother skin. You can see it on the waistline as inflammatory visceral fat recedes. You can perceive it as increased energy, reduced depression and anxiety, reduction or elimination of irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux symptoms, reduced joint pain, reversal of leg/ankle edema, and in so many other ways. But how about blood measures of health? You can witness the transformations there, too. And the transformations you see in blood markers of health can be just as dramati...

6 simple things that can help lower your blood pressure
In November 2017 the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology changed the definition for high blood pressure. One day your blood pressure of 130/80 was normal — the next day you had stage 1 hypertension, and suddenly you found yourself in a higher risk category formerly reserved for people with blood pressure of 140/90. While you probably don’t feel like celebrating the change, it may actually be a good thing. “These guidelines have been long anticipated and are very welcome by most high blood pressure experts,” says Dr. Naomi Fisher, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical Schoo...

Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose improves peak VO2 in heart failure – EFFECT-HF study
Functional iron deficiency is present in about half of heart failure patients and is associated with poorer effort tolerance and higher mortality. Abnormal iron hemostasis in heart failure is mediated by the effect of proinflammatory cytokines on hepcidin, an important iron regulatory protein. Increase in hepcidin is responsible for the functional iron defiency due to decreased iron absorption, reduced bioavailability of iron for erythropoiesis and increased iron stores in non erythrocyte cell types [1]. Veldhuisen and colleagues in an article published in Circulation [2] with acronym EFFECT-HF study evaluated the effe...

Einkorn No Knead Artisan Bread (and a primer on ancient wheat)
All wheat is not the same. What we now call wheat is actually the product of hybridization and cross breeding of wheat species to increase crop yields, ease harvesting, decrease costs and scale up production. As a result, where there were once just 5 or so species of wheat, there are now literally thousands, which genetically, may be virtually unrecognizable to ancient grains from which they are descended. Allow me to introduce these so-called ancient grains to you now: Einkorn Wheat (14 chromosomes / Diploid): The first known wheat ever cultivated by humans (circa 3300 BC in Europe) is Einkorn Wheat, which has just 14 ch...
