Have you heard of a hormone called Adiponectin?

Adiponectin is a hormone produced by our fat cells. These cells are actively controlling how your body makes, uses, and stores energy. This amazing hormone regulates how your body uses fat and sugar for energy. They can also reduce inflammation and cholesterol buildup in the arteries. The more adiponectin we have, the more fat we burn. Here are some of the ways to increase adiponectin levels naturally.

1. Omega three fatty acids, daily intake of fish oil can increase adiponectin by 14 to 60%, other monosaturated fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil can be very helpful

Here is the book that I’m recommending: Why We Sleep, unlocking the power of sleep and dreams by Matthew Walker, PhD

A great explanation of the scientific basis of sleep and why it’s so important. If there was one magic pill, it would be good quality sleep.

“Routinely sleeping less than six hours a night weakens your immune system, substantially increasing your risk of certain forms of cancer. Insufficient sleep appears to be a key lifestyle factor linked to your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Inadequate sleep-even moderate reductions for just one week-disrupts blood sugar levels so profoundly that you would be classified as pre-diabetic. Short sleeping increases the likelihood of your coronary arteries becoming blocked and brittle, setting you on a path of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure. Sleep disruption further contributes to all major psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, and suicidality.”

Glyphosate is a very efficient metal chelator. This, in turn, disrupts your gut microbes because it makes minerals unavailable to the microbes. Your gut microbes need those minerals, as their enzymes depend on them for proper functioning.There's a strong correlation between the rise in celiac disease over time and the rise in glyphosate usage on wheat, which is the primary culprit in celiac disease.
