San Rafael Chiropractor Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff Discusses Fat-Burning vs. Sugar-Burning

Leave a Comment / Belly Fat, diets / By

Two major factors push the body into an unhealthy sugar-burning mode of energy production: 1) stress and 2) eating foods that are burned as sugar. Many factors, some obvious and some hidden, create a stress response. Usually diet is the biggest factor. Sugar and starch push your energy metabolism in the direction of sugar-burning, as does protein that is in excess of your daily needs. Healthy omega-3 fatty acids push your energy metabolism in the direction of burning fat, and unhealthy oils block your ability to burn fat.

San Rafael Chiropractor Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff, DC, DIBAK Discusses Exercising to Get Fatter? Part 2: Insulin Revisited

Leave a Comment / exercise / By

Insulin evolved to help store nutrients for times of need. It sends sugar into cells where it can be burned for energy, it sends magnesium and other nutrients into cells to be stored for future use, and it keeps fat in storage and blocks it from being burned for energy. Insulin evolved in a time when humans had very different life conditions. Our early ancestors survived on whatever food they could find, and they did not typically have food that raised their blood sugar. They often had to go for days or weeks without much food.

San Rafael Chiropractor and Applied Kinesiologist Talks about Allergies, Women’s Health, Cancer, Pot, Bra… etc…

I thought it would be wise to take this time to talk to you about allergies, women’s health, cancer, pot and bras. I thought that it would be challenging for me to discuss all of these things in a single email. But I am always up for the challenge. If you have high blood pressure or neck pain or headaches or get exhausted in the afternoon or after a large meal then there is a strong likelihood you are allergic to something. The New Patient Health History and Physical Examination helps the Chiropractic Kinesiologist to determine what allergies are present and what is causing them. Once the allergies are identified, the offending allergenic substances can be eliminated from the person’s environment temporarily until the allergies are resolved.
