Necessary Lifestyle Changes

As you would know through my previous post I had myself assessed using BioSignature Modulation. Basically this involves taking Body Fat Measurements at 12 different sites of the body. Depending on the site, those with the highest readings are associated with certain Hormones.


BioSignature Modulation is a system based on scientific evidence that where people store their body fat is an indication of their hormonal profile. Basically, hormonal imbalances can cause fat to accumulate in certain areas of the body.


Therefor your body fat levels and corresponding hormonal imbalances can be effectively managed through a combination of diet, exercise, a targeted supplementation program, and lifestyle modifications .


My results showed I am carrying excessive amounts of Cortisol, Estrogen and Insulin.


Initially I took a Digestive Test to determine whether my digestion is working effectively. Basically what this means is that I could be eating all the right foods but if my digestion is not working correctly then my body is not absorbing the nutrients it requires. And guess what? My digestion sucks! I am not producing enough Hydrochloric Acid to metabolise my food.


I need to use only BPA free products (especially when storing foods in plastics) as they can leech nasty chemicals. Xenoestrogens are environmental Estrogens and they can end up entering your blood stream. Also, I MUST avoid using the microwave to reheat my food.


I am now drinking filtered water. I am also eating breakfast high in Protein eg chicken and nuts, aka The Cavewoman Diet!


Reducing Cortisol will be even harder. I need to stop stressing and get at least 7 hours uninterrupted sleep.


There will be some challenges involved in making these changes but I am determined to persevere.
