What Can YOU Learn From Dr. Kelly’s Case?

Good day to you!

Today we continue the series of videos celebrating case successes from our AFMC-certified practitioners – and key clinical pearls we can all take from their excellent outcomes.

Congratulations to Dr. Kelly for her excellent work with a woman in her 20’s who was struggling with obesity, PCOS, severe acne, headaches, IBS, mood swings, and more.  Here are some pearls her case highlighted:

• Subclinical fasting insulin elevation as a marker of insulin resistance.
• The perfect storm role of high stress, refined carbohydrate intake, and chemical-laden, processed foods in creating insulin resistance, abdominal weight gain, and obesity.
• Repeated courses of antibiotics and high stress promoting dysbiosis in the microbiome which can cause nutrient maldigestion/malabsorption and also may contribute to insulin resistance through inflammatory signaling.
• High insulin as a driver for excessive androgen production which can promote irregular ovulation and the pattern of symptoms often diagnosed as PCOS.
• Low alkaline phosphatase as a marker of insufficient nutrients such as zinc.
• The importance of zinc in balancing enzymes in the metabolism of testosterone to avoid excessive levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the most potent androgen which can especially promote acne when excessive.
• Irregular ovulation creating a lower level of progesterone which can promote estrogen dominance and symptoms such as headache, IBS, mood swings, and excess body fat.

Dr. Kelly astutely helped this young woman lose 30 pounds,  reverse insulin resistance, counter PCOS, and address her acne.   Check out the video and learn why Dr. Kelly’s approach to supporting this young woman in meeting her goals was so notable.
