    Jorja Gander says:

    Appreciated the reminder to go back to the gut whether reviewing eating hygiene or considering the microbiome and its impact on GLP1. Also appreciated the mention of berberine but was not as aware of inositol – am excited to dive into this a bit deeper. Thank you!

    today I notice the importance of Acromancia bacteria, her critical rol in the health of mucosa, related with the key rol of short chain fatty acids, liver function, the stimulation of GLP1 level and the regulation of insulin. I would like a deeper understanding in this regard

    Amanda Thornton says:

    Eating hygiene isn’t only about chewing food and starting the digestion, but it connects to motility and metabolic health.

    Very informative session. I was doing a case study today about a client with akermamsia. Tracy touched on this and explained it so well. Feeling very convinced to enroll onto functional medicine. Thank you Tracy .

    Thank you so very much for discussing Akkermansia! I have been talking with a professional supplement company but really needed the food-based information!

    I would love to find out more about your upcoming event! I have greatly enjoyed these panel events in the past and would love to take in this one as well!

    I loved learning of the connection between the exocrine functions of the pancreas and metabolic dysfunction! Such a great reminder to puzzle piece root causes of digestion dysfunction!

    I’m interested in learning more about berberine and akkermansia and how they help with autoimmunity.

    Kay Chung says:

    Thank you for this program. I always learn something new. I was familiar with Berberine but am now looking forward to learning more about Inositol and D-Limonene. Also I’m learning more all the time about how subclinical hypothyroid function influences so many bodily processes.

    Very informative session! The discussion of the role of digestion in impacting metabolic health was especially impactful. Very important to be in the parasympathetic state when eating.

    Echo Macdonald says:

    Great overview of important factors leading to Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance! Thank you!

    Renee Biehl says:

    Facinating talk. I learned the GGT may be an initial indicator of poor liver function. Thank you for sharing

    Barbara Walsh says:

    This was a great session! So much incredible and valuable information! One thing (among many) that I learned today was that metabolic dysfunction can be brewing in the body for 13 years before it is fully manifested and diagnosed! Such an important piece of information that can be useful to encourage clients to make better choices and changes now, rather than waiting until later!! Thank you Tracey for sharing all of your knowledge today!!

    Thank you so much for this talk! I learned a lot, but I particularly liked the link between the pancreas and metabolic dysfunction and to learn about Akkermansia.

    Rachel Goodman says:

    My “aha moment” in today’s training was the comment on how if they pancreas is struggling from an endocrine perspective it is also probably struggling from an exocrine perspective. This really highlights the interconnected between metabolic dysregulation and gut dysfunction! Amazing 🙂

    Donna Lowe says:

    I love these clinical tips-always a great reminder to think about connectedness; particularly for me today the importance of the thyroid and not assuming a good TSH means the thyroid is working properly.

    Julie Chambers says:

    I went to the grocery store this morning and had to walk 20 yards before I saw real food! There are SO many food-like substances out there that it literally makes me sick to my stomach! 🙁
