My Interview in The Sunday Express: How To Eat Burn Sleep
Hello Everyone! Getting your body healthy and keeping it that way shouldn’t feel like a chore. If you are an Eat Burn Sleep member, you will know it’s absolutely possible!
Our bodies are wired for healing, and finding a way to heal for longevity has to work for you.
In the Sunday Express interview, I explain briefly why Eat Burn Sleep exists and how the anti-inflammatory lifestyle works.
Members will know the benefits for mind and body and agree that it is an easy, sustainable, and fun way of keeping inflammation down, healing conditions, and feeling great.
If you haven’t joined, I know you won’t be disappointed. Some members feel the science of Eat Burn Sleep within 24 hours!
Reducing inflammatory conditions and symptoms, treating digestive issues, bowel issues, reproductive issues, thyroid issues, hormone issues, skin issues, mental health issues, joint issues, autoimmune diseases, and so much more!
If you are here because you want to improve your fertility, have a healthy pregnancy, and have a healthy baby, you are in the right place.
Whether you are looking to give your body the best chance to conceive naturally or are on IVF and want a greater chance of success, we are glad you are here because we can help you.
It could be that you have had recurrent miscarriages – or want to prepare your body for having a baby in the future – but if it’s your mission to have a baby, this post is for you.
Keep reading because you are about to find out how to improve your chances of having a baby – and this applies to women and men.
Astonishingly, there are 1 in every 6 couples in the UK and the US right now who have difficulties conceiving. That equates to 3.5 million! Worldwide – between 48 million couples and 186 million individuals have infertility!
The cost of fertility treatments, which include artificial insemination, intrauterine insemination, and in vitro fertilization, is expensive.
If you are experiencing infertility, there is no doubt that it impacts your life. The emotional stress of trying to have a baby and being disappointed regularly, with an enormous cost financially and to physical health, can take over your life.
Diet and Lifestyle Helps People Have a Baby
Eat Burn Sleep is a 360-degree anti-inflammatory lifestyle. We assist people with lower inflammation successfully at a systemic level and improve gut, mental, liver, and immune health (which amounts to optimum health).
Lowering inflammation helps you have a baby because many reasons you cannot conceive, carry and have a baby are linked to chronic inflammation (excessive).
Chronic Inflammation and The Reproductive System
The female reproductive system is geared to resolve inflammation since an average amount of inflammation is required to function at full capacity.
The menstrual cycle, for instance, deals with clearing tissue debris and regeneration as a regular function. An acute amount of inflammation is needed for cell repair during ovulation, menstruation, implantation, and giving birth.
However, it is important to keep inflammation low because chronic inflammation will cause problems with ovulation, low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, implantation, hormone imbalance, early pregnancy health, and even after the baby is born.
Lowering your inflammation is key to preparing your body for having a baby. Whether that is naturally, through IVF, to lessen the risk of miscarriage or boost sperm count, you must look at your whole lifestyle.
Eat Burn Sleep is successful at helping people have healthy babies, and I will briefly explain.
You see, inflammation is lowered, and the gut, immune, liver, and mental health are also optimized. These are all major in improving fertility, IVF success, pregnancy, and giving birth.
Chronic inflammation conditions that affect your chances of having a baby are all treated on this lifestyle successfully.
For instance, check out the testimonies for weight loss, endometriosis, and PCOS. Many men are boosting their testosterone and sperm count by following this lifestyle. It really works!
Improving the Immune For Fertility, Pregnancy + Having a Baby
The immune system plays an integral role in the reproduction of both males and females. There is a close functional relationship between the immune system and the reproductive tracts.
For instance, a healthy immune will heal the ovary after the egg erupts and then help repair the uterine lining during menstruation.
A healthy immune system is required for internal protection from infections and for tolerating sperm.
A healthy immune is required to trigger blood vessels necessary for growing the placenta to facilitate the healthy development of a baby, for instance.
Conditions like obesity, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunctions impact male fertility, endometriosis, and PCOS, for instance, for women, since they are characterized by chronic inflammation and immune alterations.
Women with autoimmune disorders can fail to recognize a pregnancy or develop antibodies attacking sperm (and even embryos), seeing them as foreign invaders.
Many autoimmune diseases are treated and put into remission with this anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
As many of you know, due to this lifestyle, I have put my two autoimmune diseases into remission and do not take any medication anymore.
Improve Gut Health For Fertility
Your gut microbiota is linked to infertility since poor gut health can cause hormonal imbalance.
Many studies improving gut dysbiosis lead to more pregnancy successes.
Since 70% of your immune cells reside in the gut, it makes sense that your gut needs to be in optimum health to protect your immune system and reduce inflammation.
Eat Burn Sleep recipes are packed with the ultimate nutrition to improve health, fertility, IVF success, and having a baby. The lifestyle helps you digest, absorb, and hold on to that nutrition.
(Improving gut health helps your baby’s health when it arrives since it inherits its Mother’s microbiome! It also lessens the chance of postpartum depression).
Improve Liver Health For Fertility
Your liver is linked to infertility since a tired and congested one can produce a multitude of symptoms that are often caused by hormone imbalances.
Medication, unhealthy foods, exposure to toxins, and an inflammatory lifestyle contribute to a congested liver. Eat Burn Sleep’s reset will detox, recharge, and renew your liver efficiently.
Your liver needs detoxification if you are having IVF treatment. You will no doubt be feeling rather sick if you are taking IVF.
This powerful anti-inflammatory lifestyle kickstarts you on your road to improving chances of IVF and fertility, lessening the risk of miscarriage, and helping you give birth.
Natural Ways of Improving Chances of Having a Baby
Stress is linked to infertility, miscarriage, and giving birth since chronic inflammation is also linked to mindset.
E.g., Excess cortisol levels can inhibit the body’s main sex hormones and suppress ovulation, sperm count, and sexual activity.
Sleep is linked, too. During sleep, HGH is produced, which is essential for optimum health. (There’s Insomnia advice as well as Fertility advice in the Personalized Advice section).
Lower levels of HGD are linked to obesity and diabetes, which can affect your fertility and having a healthy pregnancy. Chronic sleep deprivation is recognized as being one of the major contributors to diseases like type 2 diabetes, too.
Lowering stress and improving restorative sleep are significant parts of Eat Burn Sleep through mind reprogramming, guided meditations, movement, mindfulness, and other neuroplasticity exercises.
Because improving gut health leads to improved mental health, it is a biological reaction – not just through seeing and feeling the positive results of being on this lifestyle.
If you are looking for a fertility diet to improve pregnancy health and a diet to have a healthy baby, you have found it!
The whole body is optimized to improve fertility, support the success of IVF, lessen the risk of miscarriage, and help give birth on this anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
I am barely covering the surface here, but suffice it to say that Eat Burn Sleep is a beautiful lifestyle to follow if you want to improve your chances of having a baby.
Check out the fertility success stories, see how many Eat Burn Sleep babies there are, and come and join our community!
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Wishing you the very best and hope you will soon welcome a baby into your life.
I was interviewed for Femail: The Daily Mail about my health journey, which began over 20 years ago.
It is essential to raise awareness of the impact of chronic inflammation on the body since it is linked to most chronic diseases. Many people do not know that they have high inflammation in their bodies. Signs of inflammation may surprise you. It can run constantly without you knowing about it for a long time.
There are brief explanations under the conditions about what this anti-inflammatory platform does to lower inflammation and how Eat Burn Sleep treats inflammatory diseases at source.
Many conditions like obesity and endometriosis are linked to chronic inflammation. Symptoms of high inflammation running in the body can be easily brushed off and disregarded.
Conditions like aching joints, dry skin, hair loss, tiredness, feeling low, anxiety, gas, and bloating are all linked to chronic inflammation.
I was interviewed for Femtech World recently about the hidden dangers of chronic inflammation.
You see, the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is on a dramatic incline. Like I said to Sorina Mihaila, until you get diagnosed with a chronic condition, you might be unaware that you have inflammation running through your body.
Hi Everyone! So many people are surprised that I advocate for a cup of good coffee* since the debate certainly persists about whether coffee is good for you or bad for you.
Coffee is certainly not discluded from the Eat Burn Sleep lifestyle, and there is one primary reason (and you may guess why). So I decided to write about it.
I will tell you what I have learned about the world’s most widely consumed drink, which often gets a negative rap.
If you are a coffee lover, you will like this post!
Coffee is equated with caffeine, which is associated with many health conditions (like reducing asthma symptoms). Depending on their genetics and tolerance, some people are more sensitive to it.
Caffeine is also renowned for its cognitive-enhancing effects and isn’t just found in coffee. It is used in medications like pain relievers and migraine medication.
There’s caffeine in tea and unregulated, unsafe soda drinks that are dubbed as ‘energy drinks’ (which have the equivalent of two cups of coffee and a mountain of sugar in one serving!).
There is so much more in the amazing coffee bean than caffeine.
Coffee also contains chlorogenic acid, vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds, nitrogenous compounds, carbohydrates, and alkaloids – among many other biologically active compounds.
The antioxidant activity depends on the chemical composition of the coffee, but all ingredients have far-ranging health effects!
Not only rich in antioxidants, but coffee is also anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and has anticancer effects. In particular, the results of the polyphenol compounds in coffee on the immune system are associated with extended health benefits for different chronic inflammatory diseases.
Studies show that biologically active compounds play a beneficial role in the prevention and progress of chronic diseases related to inflammation, such as:
Diabetes (reduces impaired glucose tolerance, hyperglycemia, and insulin sensitivity), obesity (chlorogenic acid also appears to protect against metabolic syndrome through its antioxidant activity, which is linked to obesity), cardiovascular diseases, mental disorders, skin conditions, cancer,s and neurodegeneration.
Gut microbiota composition has improved with coffee consumption, and digestion is enhanced.
Coffee is also associated with gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretions, which are necessary for healthy digestion.
It is found to stimulate the production of the digestive hormones gastrin and hydrochloric acid – both of which break down food in the stomach.
It also stimulates cholecystokinin secretion, a hormone that increases bile production, a part of the digestive process.
Consuming light-to-moderate amounts of coffee may prevent a wide range of non-communicable diseases compared to not drinking coffee.
Some studies suggest that coffee has a positive disease-modifying effect on chronic liver diseases, instigating further studies to evaluate the potential causative agent.
Vitamin B3 in coffee supports healthy digestion, skin, and the nervous system. Magnesium aids the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Magnesium is good for heart health, calcium homeostasis, DNA repair, and the modulation of muscle activity.
The potassium, which is present in the seeds, remains at the same concentration when brewed. This means coffee is good for water balance, hormone balance, blood pressure, and muscle and nerve health.
So, you can see why I advocate for a cup of coffee in the morning!
How Much Coffee is Good For You?
It is recommended that you don’t drink more than 400mg of caffeine in a day. So that means no more than 2 x 8oz freshly brewed cups daily, but we are all unique. Some people may be sensitive to caffeine, and a light amount could be too much.
The reason for this is that you could be genetically sensitive to caffeine. Studies show, for instance, that a particular component called polymorphism in specific genes could make one little sip absolutely enough for you. You would know if this was happening to you as your body would react.
Also, see the cautionary note about caffeine and pregnancy.
How Much Coffee is Bad For You?
Heart:
Studies show that there isn’t enough information to support that coffee negatively affects the cardiovascular system. Some studies have shown quite contradictory results and state that consuming caffeine daily, in moderation, actually reduces cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Judit Simon of the Heart and Vascular Centre, Budapest, discovered: “[…] compared with participants who did not drink coffee regularly, daily consumers had healthier sized and better-functioning hearts. This was consistent with reversing the detrimental effects of aging on the heart.”
Digestive Conditions:
Contrary to some assumptions, digestive conditions are not linked with coffee, as indicated above. In many cases, coffee has positive effects on digestive disorders. E.g., Stimulation of colon motility, for instance.
Improve your levels of gut bacteria through coffee consumption.
Should You Drink Coffee Every Day?
I love a good cup of freshly ground coffee and am talking about pure coffee in the morning, not in the afternoon or evening, due to its stimulatory effects.
Trust me, if you are a big coffee drinker, you can reduce the amount despite long-term habits.
Reprogramming your mind and habits is one of the vital successful tools on this lifestyle, which is why this optimum health method is good for removing addictions and long, hard habits.
Beverages that you may have a lot of, like coffee or wine, become more enjoyable. Making a conscious effort to be healthier and seeing the results quickly invokes enthusiasm and inspiration.
As you move through the reset, your gut microbiota is improved, inflammation is reduced, and your liver is detoxed. Brain fog and anxiety lift, and you gain energy, symptoms are reduced, and as you see and feel positive results, it all kicks in. Every day, it gets better. Believe me.
However, if you don’t drink coffee already or don’t like it, you don’t need to start.
You don’t have to start drinking it because if you are following an optimum health plan, this should provide you with the nutrient compounds that I have talked about.
If you fancy a cup of coffee:
The key message is that in the morning, in moderate doses (without all of the additives and extras), habitual coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of many chronic diseases.
So, if you are meeting a good friend for a coffee, you will maximize the health benefits by triggering happy neurotransmitters and lowering cortisol, reducing stress.
If you fancy a healthy cup of exceptional coffee, have you tried my recipe: Moroccan Spiced Coffee?
Try it with a slice of delicious microbiome-friendly Coconut Yogurt & Almond Cake. Increase your nutrition and your cognition!
*Unless you are pregnant. Caffeine in coffee crosses the human placenta, rapidly reaching a similar concentration in the fetus, which can cause implications.
It is estimated that half a million people are suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases, which are on the rise.
How Do You Get Rid Of IBD, Colitis, and Crohn’s?
Of course, what helped me with my ulcerative colitis, after many years of debilitating pain and no solutions, was the anti-inflammatory lifestyle that is now Eat Burn Sleep.
Living pain-free was something I dreamed about while suffering from the symptoms of ulcerative colitis and hemolytic anemia (a rare autoimmune disease). Living without medication (steroids and immunosuppressants) was something I was told would never happen. Being in remission from colitis and hemolytic anemia didn’t ever seem likely.
Following my anti-inflammatory lifestyle (that had to be easy and include treats, might I add. Life is to be enjoyed, after all!), I am pain-free, medication-free, and in remission.
I decided to share what put my autoimmune diseases into remission.
What Lifestyle Should IBD Sufferers Follow?
Eat Burn Sleep was developed five years ago and has helped people worldwide with inflammatory bowel disease. Conditions include Crohn’s, Colitis, Diverticulitis, IBS, candida, diabetes, thyroid,endometriosis,PCOS,fertility issues, skin and hair disorders, and many other diseases linked to chronic inflammation are treated successfully on the EBS platform.
It focuses on gut health, liver detoxification, boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, eliminating stress in the body and mind, and enjoying lifelong health.
This lifestyle is also treating conditions like Long Covid, brain fog, memory loss, depression, and MMDs like bipolar effectively.
What is reassuring is that the only side effects of my inflammation-reducing lifestyle have been all positive. People are healthier and happier than they have been for a long time!
My friend initially made this delicious Mediterranean Roast Chicken & Vegetables recipe; its taste, simplicity, and health ratio bowled me over. I had to steal it for my members!
I hope that you enjoy it, too.
Healing foods don’t have to be bland. A healthy lifestyle is not restrictive.
You, too, can live pain and medication-free and put your IBD into remission. You may be interested in listening to the podcast I did recently on The Big Move about fixing health issues and fine-tuning optimum health.
Or read my article in The Telegraph about how chronic inflammation affects us all.
If you have a chronic inflammation condition, see this time as a phase that you are going through that won’t be repeated, and make this the first day of your new health journey.
I was asked about what I think about a vegan keto diet by Live Science.
Those of you who know my thoughts on the keto and vegan diets know that I am already not a fan of either. Combined? You can imagine what I am going to say.
Why Is A Vegan Keto Diet A Bad Idea?
Would you do it if I said that eating a certain way would toxify your liver, disrupt your metabolic functions and digestion, and disturb your sleep?
If I told you that the same diet also increased your appetite and hunger, depleted your body of nutrients, and put you in a low mood, wouldn’t you wonder what diet this is?
Then, note that the same diet leads to chronic systemic inflammation in your body and a compromised immune system and opens it up to one or many diseases; what would you say?
A vegan diet by itself is not enough for optimum health. A keto diet is extreme and opens up the body to long-term disease. For optimum health, I advise a diet focusing on gut health as a priority.
I do have lots of delicious vegan recipes on the anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Here are a few that you may like to try:
My Interview With BBC World: People Are Overfed And Undernourished
In the BBC World Live News interview, I was asked to comment on the government’s case that we have a cost of living emergency and poor people need cheap food.
To explain further: The ban on ‘buy one get one free unhealthy food’ deals is being put on hold for a year. Also, the plan to restrict television advertising of junk food advertisements before 9 p.m. has been put on hold.
The government said that this plan would allow for a better understanding of the impact on household finances as the cost of living continues to rise.
As I explained, people are overfed and undernourished. If you consume more processed foods, it will give you very unstable blood sugar levels. This can lead to diabetes, obesity, and heart attacks. These are all taxing on the healthcare systems.
If it were ‘buy one get one free’ for healthy, inexpensive food like vegetables, fish, and chicken, there would not be an issue.
This decision will most likely cause even more mental and physical health problems. It doesn’t make sense. Gut health is paramount to psychological and physical well-being.
When you consume food that doesn’t feed you nutritionally, your body is never satiated. So, you end up eating more. Overeating foods that are not nourishing will encourage inflammatory disease, without a doubt.
Processed foods cause gut dysbiosis, which ultimately leads to disease.
Obesity, for instance, is reaching epidemic proportions in most Westernized countries. It is a severe chronic inflammatory condition with a wide range of debilitating and life-threatening conditions. This makes the body susceptible to catching serious viruses and not recovering from them, like COVID-19.
Obesity imposes enormous financial burdens on healthcare systems. Not banning ‘buy one get one free’ junk foods at this time is encouraging more serious health conditions. Obesity develops over time. Once it kicks in, unless someone undertakes an anti-inflammatory lifestyle like our member Nicky did (she lost 56 pounds), it presents many more risks.
Conditions associated with obesity are cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and joint and muscular conditions. There are gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory disorders, cancer, and obstructive sleep apnea. There are psychological conditions and depression, as in neuroinflammation. (Depression diminished for Nicky, too, on this gut-health plan).
We must educate people on how to create nutritious meals on a tight budget. We should encourage batch cooking once a week for an hour. Freeze food that can be taken out in the morning and quickly heated in the evening.
Or use a slow cooker (a slow cooker isn’t necessary, though) to make soup and stews that take no time to prepare. I told the BBC World presenter that I had bought organic chicken and vegetables and lemons to make my immune-boosting chicken soup. It came out at only £2.50 per person.
It isn’t just a bowl of hunger-satisfying chicken soup; the ingredients work together to boost the body rather than deplete it.
The synergistic actions from the nutrients, combined with the accompanying compounds from ginger, turmeric, onions, garlic, parsley, black pepper, eggs, lemons, and so on, will all assist significantly with the lowering of inflammation. This will protect the immune and keep the digestive tract healthy.
Kefta, Tomato, and Egg Tagine comes in around the same cost and are not only delicious and satisfying, but it fills the body up with good nutrition. It supports metabolic and cholesterol-lowering functions. It reduces inflammation and protects the eyes, teeth, brain, and bones. Keeping the mind, the immune system, and the whole body healthy.
My Cream of Broccoli and Zucchini Soup costs even less than £1.50 per person. It protects the body from viruses and disease, supports metabolism and gut health, stimulates the liver, and lowers cholesterol and inflammation.
Encouraging people to feed their guts well with good bacteria will keep them mentally healthy, too.
Junk food / processed foods do not fulfill daily micro and macronutrient requirements, leading to disease.
We must teach people how to nourish themselves and their families (without spending too much money) to support their health and the healthcare system.

I get asked a lot by people who do not have health issues whether my anti-inflammatory ‘diet’ would benefit them somehow.
People often say ‘diet,’ but the Eat Burn Sleep method is much more than that. It is a holistic anti-inflammatory lifestyle with more facets than just what we eat.
Diets are generally unsustainable and very restrictive.
Diets can make you feel guilty if you have an ‘off’ day. Strict diets are generally not good for the body in the long run, and some are dangerous.
I am all about what is best for your mental and physical health, now and in the future.
A lifestyle choice that is best for good overall, long-term health for everyone would focus on mental, physical, and emotional well-being; one that focuses on improving gut flora, detoxifying the liver, and keeping inflammation at bay.
A sustainable lifestyle choice.
A good lifestyle choice does not activate the weak genes (hereditary chronic inflammation-related disease) in your DNA.
How Can You Change Your Lifestyle?
It can be rather daunting to decide to change your lifestyle; barriers are often formed before you even start.
You can think about commitment issues, patience, giving up things that you love, how realistic it is, the challenges involved, and whether it works for everyone around you.
The key to success is not to aim for perfection.
Aiming for perfection means setting unrealistic goals that are impossible to attain.
That means that you are in a perpetual cycle of never feeling satisfied.
This will have you crumbling at the first hurdle and feeling guilty if you don’t stick to the new lifestyle plan rigidly.
This is not good for sustainability or your mental health. Life is to be enjoyed.
Rigid plans are not enjoyable, and you can easily break them.
Striving for perfection means that we are so taken with achieving perfection that we miss out on life: being in the moment, living mindfully, breathing…enjoying what is around us.
Look at the whole picture and set realistic goals.
Forming new sustainable and enjoyable habits is critical. Being supported with proper exercise and nutrition advice is essential.
Learning to make good choices when you are out to dinner or switching off without worrying when on holiday is essential.
Having the tools to know what is good for your body, mind, and emotions, enjoying the process, and feeling the results is paramount to success.
Eat Steak and drink wine and coffee on the Eat Burn Sleep lifestyle. In moderation!
If you enjoy coffee, steak, or a glass of wine, to state at the beginning of a lifestyle choice that you can’t have them makes you feel miserable. Let’s be honest.
When you are in charge, based on learning about what is best for you, and feeling and seeing the changes – and everyone around can see and feel it, too – this is empowerment – and you know that it isn’t going to be a lifestyle that you will be changing anytime soon!
How Does Eat Burn Sleep Help With Optimum Health?
Eat Burn Sleep is a unique health education platform that is ultimately empowering, guiding people for long-term optimum health, making second-nature choices (when away from the plan), and having more autonomy over their health choices.
Following the 80/20 method, it is all about moderation, having treats, and enjoying life more.
Through the right anti-inflammatory diet for you, movement, neuroplasticity methods, and forming long-term science-backed habits while reducing inflammation, it can be physically noticed quite soon.
So many people who follow the Eat Burn Sleep anti-inflammatory lifestyle say they look the best they have ever looked. The reason for this is that they are feeling better.
When we lower chronic inflammation, even if we don’t have any health issues, the first thing that it does is increase our energy levels. Our energy levels are very low if our diet has gut flora imbalance and our lifestyle is stressful.
What Is Optimal Health?
Optimal health is not a standard. It is very subjective to your circumstances: how you feel, your age, your genetics, and the microbiome you were born with (and have developed over time).
Optimal health depends on where you live, your lifestyle demands, etc.
Why Do We Need Strong Gut Flora?
Regarding diet, it is essential to give our body the proper nutrients to have robust gut flora. This impacts your immunity and neurotransmitters like serotonin, GABA, dopamine, and melatonin.
It impacts sleep and hormones (whether you are a man or a woman) and, as a result, your energy levels.
It also impacts your endocrine response. For example, if you have unstable sugar levels, that will affect your cortisol, adrenaline, and energy levels.
So, following a low-inflammation diet and lifestyle, from a food standpoint, can significantly impact your energy levels.
Low-inflammation lifestyles have a significant impact on your mental well-being.
How Can You Fix Your Mental Health Naturally?
Focusing on your gut health and reducing inflammation through diet and lifestyle is essential when you want to improve your moods, reduce anxiety and depression, and, generally, have good mental health.
It is all linked because by improving gut flora, you are producing certain mood-modulating hormones, as mentioned above.
The way that you think changes gut health, and gut health changes the way that you think.
60% of neurotransmitters are allocated in the gut. 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut, responsible for well-being and happiness, as well as reducing anxiety and mood swings.
It is a precursor for melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep.
Eat Burn Sleep improves your mental wellness scientifically.
The body, mind, and skin are improved on EBS.
How Do I Improve My Body Composition?
Many people see an improvement in body composition with this anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
The reason is that you are eating foods that support the healing of soft tissues, bones, muscles, and skin.
Also, because the exercise on the platform is not inflammatory, the shift in better body composition is healthier and doesn’t ‘invite’ conditions in the long run.
Many people say they get the ‘Eat Burn Sleep Glow.’ It is all linked.
Your body will become stronger because of what you are feeding your body and the correct exercise you do daily.
Doing the proper anti-inflammatory movement will significantly influence your energy levels and liver detoxification pathways.
The anti-inflammatory program also influences your mental wellness, encouraging you to go for a fresh air walk and get vitamin D, along with guided meditations and lifestyle tips.
The optimum health guidance will influence how you feel and look.
What Is The Ideal Healthy Lifestyle?
You don’t need a health condition to feel the incredible benefits of a low-inflammation lifestyle. Many people do not realize that they have inflammation running in their bodies until they are diagnosed with a condition.
So, opting for a low inflammation lifestyle is damage limitation, reducing the risk.
A low-inflammation lifestyle can make you feel better. You will have significant energy levels, a better mood, and body composition, sleep better, have better skin, and feel like you are the best version of yourself.
This is achieved relatively quickly when you reduce chronic inflammation in your body (although I am not into quick fixes).
It is the long run that matters.
One super important piece of information to know, which I speak about all the time, is:
Chronic inflammation switches on your poor, weaker genes.
So, if there is a family history of diseases like heart attacks, autoimmune disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, hormone issues, cancer, and so on, they all are linked to chronic inflammation.
For any disease you cannot transmit, the expression of those genes will depend on the levels of chronic inflammation in your body.
Such a lifestyle plays a huge role in preventing the development of hereditary conditions.
How I went about fixing my autoimmune diseases (putting them into remission) naturally began with thinking about what I needed to do to stop the hemorrhage, stopping the bleeding.
I was thinking about all the medication I was on and what it was doing to my body. It was like a building with cracks all over it, and having medication was putting plasters on the cracks.
It wasn’t fixing the foundations, so more cracks were appearing.
I needed to fix the foundations so that more cracks didn’t appear.
Autoimmunity expresses itself pretty early in people’s lives generally. Other issues, like cancer and heart attacks, typically express themselves later in life.
It can almost be too late because they are so inflamed. After all, they have been inflamed for a long time.
Some people are lucky and have quickly reversed their disease with this anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
The long journey is essential, though, not the quick fix.
So, you can’t just go on a low inflammation diet, and it will sort it out quickly. It isn’t just diet, remember. Your whole lifestyle comes into play. It may take some time to see results, or it may not. The prevention side is enormous.
There is so much misinformation when it comes to health out there.
How Do You Take Care of Your Body When You’re Sick?
Frankly, if I had found an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle when I was sick, it would have saved quite a few years of pain.
That is why I created the Eat Burn Sleep anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
It isn’t just for when you are sick, though. This is the best diet and lifestyle to keep sickness at bay, keeping your body and mind free from inflammation.
I am on a mission to ensure that everyone is living at their optimum health, physically and mentally, for now and for the future.
My Feature in Relentless Magazine: The Reason Why Eat Burn Sleep Exists
Hello Everyone!
I love the feature in the Spring edition of Relentless magazine. It’s the story of how I put my ulcerative colitis and rare autoimmune disease into remission.
Boost the Production of the Sleep Hormone Melatonin
I was asked to comment for The Sun recently on how to get your best night’s sleep.
Sleep is a huge focus of the Eat Burn Sleep program, of course, and I was pleased to share one top tip for a great night of sleep along with the rest of the panel!
Hello everyone! I am often asked about my opinion of the keto diet. I tried a very similar diet when I was exploring what would help me with my autoimmune diseases (which is why Eat Burn Sleep was created).
So, I have first-hand knowledge of how being on an extreme diet feels initially, in terms of how my body responds and, unfortunately, what happens in the long run.
This is the reason why I investigated what is actually happening to your body when you embark on a ketogenic diet.
For the purpose of this article, I am going to explain what the keto diet does to someone who suffers from diabetes.
The role of fasting in treating diseases has been around for thousands of years.
The ketogenic diet was developed in the 1920s as a treatment for epilepsy, adopted in the 1970s, and it became more popular in the 1990s for weight loss.
It has really spiked in the last few years with thousands of endorsements on social media, claiming it to be the queen of diets for rapid weight loss and leveling blood sugar in diabetes.
The diet consists of high fats, moderate proteins, and low carbohydrates. The dietary macronutrients on a ketogenic diet are 55% to 60% fat, 30% to 35% protein, and 5% to 10% carbohydrates.
The reason why it was used for adequate treatment (under high supervision) for epilepsy was that when the body is forced to use fat due to fewer carbohydrates, ketones are produced.
Ketones provide the brain with an alternate energy source, and this has an anti-epileptic effect on the brain, resulting in seizure control.
Is the Keto Diet Good for Treating Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy, and it comes from your diet.
Insulin, the hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from your diet get into your cells in order to be used for energy.
When your body doesn’t make enough insulin, glucose stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.
Diabetes will respond to the keto diet initially because it has the advantage of reducing serum glucose levels. As a result of lower blood sugar levels, less insulin is needed, and the pancreas is less stimulated.
An unhealthy lifestyle and overconsumption of sugar and carbohydrates causes type 2 diabetes. You can develop it at any time in your life – even in childhood.
This is why the keto diet might produce results in the beginning.
However, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease.
Your body does not make enough insulin, and your immune system attacks and destroys cells that are in the pancreas that make insulin.
Ultimately, an autoimmune disease needs to be treated with an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
Not only an anti-inflammatory diet but a whole anti-inflammatory lifestyle (as with all autoimmune conditions related to chronic inflammation, which is why I developed the Eat Burn Sleep method).
What are the Dangers of the Keto Diet?
The keto diet is gaining popularity because of the initial and quick weight loss. Everybody wants quick fixes!
I admit that when I tried a diet similar to keto, I lost weight. I thought that it was wonderful, but then I experienced the downside.
On the keto diet, long-term health is jeopardized because such a diet presents several issues.
I will explain:
The High Fats: Allowing for 60% of macronutrients to be allocated to fat is very heavy for liver health.
The liver is responsible for over 500 functions in the body, including lipolysis (fat burning), hormone homeostasis (hormone regulation), blood production, toxins excretion, etc.
With such a high percentage of fats in the diet, the liver has to work harder to process the fats (just like alcohol or sugar).
The body needs fats in the diet, but they have to be good fats and in moderate amounts.
What happens is it puts the other functions like hormone homeostasis and lipolysis on the back burner. It makes fat processing a priority, rather than burning fat from your stores for energy. It becomes overloaded and toxic.
A toxic liver can lead to several health issues and promote chronic systemic inflammation.
This process, incidentally, is what makes the keto diet popular.
As I mentioned above, when you go into ketosis, you stop tapping into the glucose in your blood, but you start going into the fat reserves in your system.
This results in a buildup of acids called ketones within the body. It is forcing the body to rely on fat for energy rather than carbs. That is the theory, and it works for a short while.
The Low Carbs: I wouldn’t ever advise anyone to cut down on carbohydrates. Good carbohydrates are needed for hormone function, sleep, and mood.
When you release insulin (the hormone that you release when there is sugar in the blood), you want to release moderate amounts. That is why I advise good carbohydrates.
Insulin is the precursor to serotonin – the happy hormone, which is the precursor to melatonin – the sleep hormone.
If you cut down insulin production completely, your insulin release will go down, which means your serotonin will go down, which, of course, leads to low moods and possibly depression.
Serotonin is also a natural appetite suppressant, too.
So, without it, of course, you are more likely to feel ravenously hungry. It leads to a lack of satiety, cravings, and possibly binge-eating!
Extreme diets lead to extreme behaviors
Is Sleep Affected by the Keto Diet?
Last but not least is the impairment of sleep that occurs due to low carbohydrates and lack of melatonin. Sleep is imperative for optimum health.
During sleep, 75% of the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced. This is essential for hormone repair and the turnover of bone, muscle, collagen, and burn fat.
Also, during sleep, the regulation of two hormones that are linked to hunger happens. Grehlin is responsible for hunger, and leptin is responsible for feeling full.
In the daytime, these neurotransmitters are increased and decreased, signaling the need to consume calories.
With little sleep, these neurotransmitters become dysregulated. There can be an increase in grehlin and a decrease in leptin. This ultimately leads to an insatiable appetite, e.g… No matter what you eat, you are not feeling satisfied!
Sleep increases resistance to oxidative stress, which is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.
Oxidative stress increases chronic inflammation. This damages DNA, proteins, and cells and leaves the body to be more susceptible to disease.
So, having diabetes, an autoimmune disease, has already opened up the inflammatory pathways to acquiring more autoimmune diseases, like hypothyroidism and coeliac disease.
You really need good sleep for optimum health!
A 2022 study on patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes shows a link between poor sleep and lower glucose tolerance. Good sleep is essential for blood sugar control in healthy subjects as well as diabetic subjects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8994826/
That is why, on my Eat Burn Sleep plan, I advise good carbs in the evening so that you sleep well and be healthier.
If you have weight to lose, you will have a better body composition with good sleep.
Starving the body of good nutrition and bingeing due to a lack of serotonin and hormone imbalances and less sleep leads to weight gain, imbalanced sugar levels, lower moods, metabolic dysregulation, and making the body susceptible to more disease.
Is Keto a Healthy Choice to Treat Diabetes?
So you can already see why all of this disruption on the body would do anybody harm, let alone people with health conditions.
A well-fed, healthy body with the right nutrition at the right time throughout the day does not constantly send signals for more food, renders you depressed, and keeps you awake at night!
The keto diet is most definitely not a good healthy choice for diabetes type 1 and type 2 sufferers despite the initial experience of maintaining glucose.
As an autoimmune disease, it is essential for diabetes sufferers to focus on lowering chronic inflammation. Plus, it stabilizes blood sugar levels to alleviate their symptoms and avoid further complications.
Lowering inflammation is for long-term health and not a quick fix that jeopardizes health further.
Always check in with a health professional about any diets that you want to follow. Your health is your most precious asset.
What is the Best Diet for Diabetes Sufferers?
This anti-inflammatory platform for reducing inflammation holistically offers the best solutions for diabetes sufferers. It allows for the regulation of blood sugar levels and simultaneously for chronic inflammation to be tackled.
The method is finely calibrated, but it is not extreme, so it has no negative side effects – just positive ones that continue.
The anti-inflammatory meal planning and recipes are created with a good balance of foods from all of the important food groups.
Food and all of its components and nutrition can affect the function of the gut microbiota, which is important when it comes to gut and overall health. The keto is not a balanced diet.
Thousands of people around the world are healing, are at optimum health, and are in long-term remission because of the Eat Burn Sleep Method.
There’s a reason why extreme dieting and fasting like the keto diet were designed to be used under medical supervision (for epilepsy, not diabetes) within a hospital.
My advice is not to try anything extreme. Extreme diets cause extreme issues, both physically and mentally. I reiterate: make sure your doctor approves the diet that you do!
Your health is your most valuable asset. Invest in it and look after it.
