I really want to break this down very simply so you can understand what telomeres do and why telomeres are important. What are telomeres? A telomere is the DNA structure at the end of chromosomes. It can be compared to the plastic end of a shoestring that protects it from fraying.  You can look at chromosomes as the entire DNA strand with everything connected to it. So, think of it as the entire shoestring.  DNA are sections of genes. But, the entire collective chain of DNA is the chromosome.  Telomeres are basically DNA structures at the end of chromosomes that shorten with each division.  Telomeres: • Protect the ends of chromosomes • Are related to lifespan • The shorter the telomere the less gene expression and repair  • Are considered junk DNA (but they do have a purpose) Telomeres and aging: When you’re very young, your DNA inside your cells have a huge capacity to keep up with damage. But, when you’re older, you have less telomeres, and you have a more difficult time keeping up with repair. Cancer cells that can live forever produce an enzyme called telomerase. Telomerase can counter the shortening effect related to telomeres. There is a plant called astragalus that has the ability to boost telomerase.  Astragalus is still being studied, but it seems astragalus may: • Have anti-aging properties • Increase your immune system • Improve your sleep  • Increase your memory I’m interested in taking the top reasons people die, and teaching you what you can do to take your weak link and strengthen it. I believe a lot of the reasons why people die relate to high insulin and high carb diets. This is why it’s crucial that you’re on healthy keto and that you do intermittent fasting.

Let’s talk about why you can’t lose belly fat. If you’re exercising, doing keto and intermittent fasting, and you still can’t get rid of belly fat—this may be why. One of the top things that will stop you from losing belly fat is alcohol consumption. You may have heard of keto-friendly wine or that pure alcohol is keto-friendly. Pure alcohol is not a carb or sugar and doesn’t directly increase your blood sugar or insulin. However, indirectly, it can create severe insulin resistance. Liver cells treat alcohol like poison and try to get rid of it. The toxicity of the alcohol injures the liver cells and can even kill them. During this process, you develop fat in the liver cells, which can lead to a fatty liver. With a fatty liver, you can also experience inflammation and scarring in the liver. Chronic inflammation and scarring can then cause cirrhosis and increase your risk of liver cancer and other liver problems. Alcohol also blocks your ability to burn fat. Don’t expect to burn fat for 48 to 72 hours after alcohol consumption. It’s a source of empty calories and depletes important nutrients. You’ve probably heard that there are certain benefits of drinking alcohol in moderation. But, recently, they’ve found that was only a marketing tactic, and there are no benefits to drinking alcohol. Alcohol also has negative effects on other parts of the body, including: • The brain • The endocrine system • The gut microbiome • The heart • Estrogen production in men (increases estrogen and decreases testosterone) It’s crucial to realize the negative effects of alcohol and consider the real reasons you’re drinking alcohol, like stress. Many natural things can help you reduce stress. If you can’t give up alcohol, try diluting it with sparkling water. If you take milk thistle before drinking, it can help protect the liver against poison and can help support the liver. Kombucha tea with low amounts of sugar is also a great alternative to alcohol and gives you a nice, relaxed feeling.
