Low adrenal function
Dietary and Lifestyle Applications
Check for thyroid and/or pituitary imbalances. In any chronic inflammatory condition (any "itis"), hypoadrenia needs
to be addressed. Eat a healthy diet, with no refined carbohydrates. Caffeine, the bromine in tea and chocolate all
cause sodium excretion and interfere with the sodium/potassium balance, thus should be avoided. A diet rich in
potassium foods (bananas, potatoes, dried fruit and asparagus) is suggested. Avoid alcohol, smoking and
environmental toxins when possible. Relaxation exercises and de-stressing activities are a must. Biofeedback,
meditation, massage and yoga are suggested. Moderate exercise is beneficial.

Definition
The liver is the main detoxification organ, as it takes most toxic substances and eliminates them by making them
water-soluble. It is a storage house for vitamins and minerals, and plays an important role in the metabolism of
proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Stress to the liver can cause inflammation of the liver cells. If the liver is not
functioning properly, a myriad of symptoms will manifest. When the liver is not functioning optimally, instead of
mobilizing fat, fat can accumulate in the liver, congesting it and causing "fatty liver". Dysfunction of the liver can
cause a whole host of cascading problems.
Dietary and Lifestyle Applications
Avoid alcohol, coffee, smoking, salt, soft drinks, sugar, tea, spicy and fried foods. While on drugs, support the liver
with herbs, such as milk thistle (silymarin). Drugs put a strain on the liver, which can induce hepatitis. A castor oil
pack placed on the liver may be beneficial. Drink herbal teas, i.e. milk thistle, dandelion, fennel, peppermint and
ginger. Others foods beneficial to the liver:
Olives and pomegranates Olives and pomegranates are sour foods that balance the liver.
Oily Nuts Most oily nuts are good for the liver if the liver is not too weak.
Rye Rye is an excellent grain for the liver.
Beets Beets build and cleanse the liver; also help discharge gallstones and kidney stones. NOTE: Peel them because
the peel contains oxalic acid.
Artichokes Artichokes build the liver, as well as dark, green, leafy vegetables, such as kale, parsley, endive, and
spinach; eat them lightly steamed or raw.
Vitamin A foods Apricots (dried), cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, raw chicory, raw carrot, carrot juice and Gazpacho
soup.
Purple (Concord) grape Purple (Concord) grapes clean the liver--grapes and their juice have tartaric acid, which
is good for production of liver secretions. Use only organic produce; grapes are one of the most heavily sprayed
produce items.
Burdock Burdock is a very medicinal food to be used only if liver problems exist because it is very drying and
contracting. Lemon, dandelion greens, black radish, saffron, grapefruit, parsnips, garlic, onion, horseradish, limes
and wheat germ are also specifically helpful. Fatty acids and lecithin in soy products, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds,
chia seeds (especially good for the liver) and flax seeds--seeds are needed in the diet for good quality fatty acids to
replace the old fat accumulation in the liver; raw seeds are better than roasted because roasted seeds overheat the

liver; if seeds float in the water, they are rancid. NOTE: Sprouting seeds raise the protein content. Slow-cooked,sauted foods open up the bile duct; also good for the gallbladder. Cooked tomatoes, dairy fats and cooked oils arevery detrimental to an unhealthy liver. Avoid at all costs if this is a problem. People with liver problems may cravesour foods, citrus foods and tomatoes. Avoid fried foods. They burden the liver. Avoid constipating foods, i.e.
cheese, processed, low-fiber foods. The liver has to work twice as hard if the bowels are constipated and noteliminating toxins. Drink at least 8 glasses of filtered water daily. Lemon in water is very purifying for the liver.
Avoid overeating. This creates excess work for the liver causing liver fatigue. This inhibits the liver's ability todetoxify harmful substances properly before they enter the blood stream. Increase consumption of high potassiumfoods: rice and wheat bran, almonds, raisins, prunes, bananas, seeds, kelp, dulse, blackstrap molasses and brewer'syeast (if not sensitive to yeast). A diet low in fat (but containing the good fats) and rich in dietary fiber, particularlythe soluble fibers, such as beans, peas, lentils, oats and barley (unless gluten sensitive), will promote increased bilesecretion from the liver. Eat whole, unprocessed foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds).
Organic foods will help maximize liver function and take off the stress of having to detoxify what you are puttinginto the body. Reduce saturated fat - increases risk of developing fatty liver infiltration resulting in diminished bileflow. NOTE: Hydrogenated fats, or trans-fatty acids, act like saturated fats in the body. Read the ingredient list onlabels to avoid hydrogenated fats as much as possible. Tomato juice (unless sensitive to night shades) mixed with 8ounces of freshly prepared beet juice several times per day is beneficial for liver function. Product Recommendations

Insulin Resistance
Your lab results are suggestive of the above consideration and is supported by:
High Analytes
Glucose
Definition
Insulin resistance is a feature of Syndrome X; not everyone who has insulin resistance has Syndrome X, however,
everyone who has Syndrome X does have insulin resistance. Syndrome X was first described by Gerald Reaven,
MD, at Stanford University Medical Center. His theory is that the main characteristics of syndrome X, mainly
hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, contribute to the secondary features of syndrome X, which include: high
sugar levels, increased LDL and VLDL (the "bad" cholesterols), decreased HDL (the "good" cholesterol), elevated
triglycerides, obesity and hypertension. Insulin resistance occurs when the cells lose the ability to utilize insulin
correctly; sometimes the insulin receptors or the ability to mobilize receptors to the cell surface are affected. Since
insulin is a fuel-regulating hormone that moves glucose into the cells for energy, insulin resistance can cause an
increase in blood sugar and a decrease in available energy to the cells. Individuals with Syndrome X sometimes
need 300-400% more insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels, compared to healthy individuals.
Dietary and Lifestyle Applications
Low-fat, unrefined carbohydrate diet, i.e. mostly organic vegetables, legumes, yogurt, lean meats, and whole fruits
(as opposed to juices) like apples and pears, that have a lower glycemic index (don't turn to sugar as quickly), which
result in a more sustained release of insulin. Breads and potatoes are fairly high glycemic foods. Insulin resistance
results from poor dietary and lifestyle habits that wear down the body's ability to take insulin into the cell, leaving
in the bloodstream to elevate blood levels, but not allowing it in the cell where it can be utilized. Good dietary
habits and exercise have been demonstrated to reverse many cases of Type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin
sensitivity. Losing weight also increases sensitivity. Regular exercise is suggested (at least three days per week).
Avoid fructose corn sweeteners. Avoid artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal), and diet sodas.
Avoid processed grains.

Definition
Dehydration is a deficiency of fluid within an organism. Mild dehydration is quite common, and is usually due to a
lack of adequate fluid intake. Dehydration can involve primarily a loss of electrolytes, (sodium in particular),
primarily a loss of water, or an equal loss of water and electrolytes, the most common type.
Dietary and Lifestyle Applications
Hydrate constantly, and especially during times of exertion, with plenty of filtered water. At least 8 eight oz. glasses
should be consumed daily; more depending on the degree of dehydration. Eat a healthy diet, and refrain from
substances which drain water from the body, such as caffeine and alcohol.

Glucose
Definition
In type 2 - non-insulin-dependent adult-onset diabetes, insulin is still produced by the pancreas but the cells become
resistant to insulin and glucose cannot move into the cells; it results in high blood sugar, and is usually seen in
adults. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas and regulates blood sugar levels by moving glucose from the blood into
the cells. In the United States, diabetes is one of the leading causes of deaths and affects over six million people.
Dietary and Lifestyle Applications
Eliminate alcohol, caffeine and smoking. Follow an elimination/rotation diet to detect food allergies or sensitivities.
Reduce weight if necessary. Reduce stress. Practice relaxation exercises. Regular, moderate exercise is essential. A
healthy diet is essential. Avoid refined, processed foods, increase complex carbohydrates and fiber, and balance
with enough high protein foods. Soluble fiber, found in fruits and vegetables, should be emphasized. Two servings
of beans per day may help control blood sugar levels (soak beans in several drops of iodine (unless iodine sensitivity
is present) to alleviate gas-producing effects). Beans and legumes are very low on the glycemic index. Moderate
amounts of lean meat, fish and unsaturated fats are helpful. Small, frequent meals are suggested. A vegetarian diet
can be helpful. Onions and garlic have blood sugar-lowering effects. (Murray, M., N.D. Natural Alternatives to Over-
the-Counter and Prescription Drugs, William Morrow and Company, Inc. NY, 1994, p. 179).

Definition
Zinc is a constituent of 25 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism, is a component of insulin, plays a part in
carbohydrate digestion, protein metabolism and phosphorus metabolism, is essential for growth and development of
reproductive organs, is necessary for proper functioning of the prostate gland, is important in wound healing and
burns, maintains acid-base balance, and is essential to proper immune function (involved in cell growth and tissue
regeneration); it also has antioxidant properties, plays an important role in taste and smell, and in skin conditions. A
deficiency in zinc can affect one or many of these various areas.
Dietary and Lifestyle Applications
Eat a healthy diet that contains a lot of zinc containing foods. Include organic fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains,
nuts and seeds. Whole grains, brewers yeast, egg yolk, liver, fish, poultry, wheat bran, wheat germ, mushrooms,
and sunflower seeds are particularly high in zinc. Avoid refined and processed foods, salt, saturated fats, sugar,
caffeine, chocolate, alcohol and tobacco that leach vitamins from the system. Increase intake of good oils (i.e. fish
oil, walnut oil, olive oil, etc.) and fiber. Avoid any food allergens. Mild aerobic exercise daily increases circulation
and increases nutrient absorption.
