Another overlooked contributor is food sensi6vi6es. Certain foods can irritate diges6ve tract causing inflamma6on which leads to insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes. Common Gut Irritants: -‐ Grains / unsprouted especially gluten-‐containing grains -‐ Conven6onal Cow's Milk -‐ contains A1 casein which irritates the gut and causes inflamma6on. Human milk, goat's milk, sheep's milk does not contain A1 casein Grains should be consumed only in sprouted form or a true sourdough bread. Raw goat's milk or sheep's milk cheese are okay.

Dr. Axe does not recommend coffee because it can deplete the body of essen6al nutrients. Tulsi tea is a healthy alterna6ve made from the Holy Basil plant which is a adaptogenic herb and can help blood sugar. Alcohol is not beneficial. Once the body is healthy, some alcohol can be tolerated in low modera6on, but should be eliminated ini6ally. Milk thistle is an herb that helps to detoxify the liver and supports the glutathione levels which helps insulin response. Supplements to Consider Chromium Omega 3 Fish Oil Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Be careful with protein powders-‐ many of them are made with inferior ingredients that lead to gut inflamma6on. Grass-‐fed, naturally processed whey protein concentrate is a good op6on. Goat's milk protein is also an excellent choice. Vegetable oil, like canola oil, safflower, corn oil and soybean oil are inflammatory and irritate the gut. (80% of protein powders do more harm than good. The best fat for blood sugar regula6on is coconut oil. It is the easiest fat to burn for energy. It only requires a three step process, where olive oil and the other long chain fats require over 20 steps to convert the fat to energy. Next best is raw, organic grass-‐fed buPer, then extra virgin olive oil.
