Jim Goetz and Dr. Mike Brandon of Functionised discuss the in's and out's of body fat, why you gain it, whats good about it, what's bad about it and how to remove excess. Woes of Fat Define fat- adipose, so body fat%, not bmi! Speaking white adipose here, not brown For men, a percentage of body fat greater than 25% defines obesity, with 21-25% being borderline. For women, over 33% defines obesity, with 31-33% being borderline. -other than being ugly, we get told to lose it, but why? Just to buy new clothes Physical Excess weight on joints, back, neck More difficult for correct posture which leads to more pain Hormones it effects- why they matter Leptin suppress hunger, when depleted increases obesity- Where does it come from/why does it stop Injections dont help. Ceiling for it and brain becomes resistant to it Does not increase leptin by decreasing food intake; rather, lack of leptin acts as a signal to increase food intake Obesity decreases sensitivity to it, so DM and obese have a harder time feeling full Aromatase- is released Converts test to estrogen- decreases metabolism, increases insulin resistance High estrogen issues Females- Homronal acne, depressed metabolism,irregular menstration, bloating, cold/itchy hands/feet, insomnia, headaches, low sex drive, increased breast and other cancer risks Males- gynecamastia, low sex drive, Erectile dsfunction, infertilaty Resistin- also released by epithelial cells, increased secretion with a high body fat percentage Directly increases insulin resistance- Increases production of LDL cholesterol Increases cardio vascular disease risk Appears that centralised/wastline adipose releases more than other locations Association with DMtype 2 and centralised obesity faster than booty fat Pro inflammatides- mainly from resistin Interlukin 1, 3, 6; tumor necrosis factor- Causes systemic long term inflammation, like food sensitivities too Inflammation basis for … Increases risk of rheumatoid conditions Neuro transmitters Serotonin is released with insulin secretion, mainly from carb diet which is VERY common in obesity. “Use too much” serotonin and we get a little depressed, eat more sugar to increase mood, becomes less effective so do more frequently Part of the addiction cycle of carby foods Leads to many more poor choices when depressed Serotonin and dopamine Decreased transporters, so it gets harder to use these happy hormones/endorphions Comorbidities- things that are increased risk and caused by or in part by obesity Heart disease DM- resistin, and poor life style habits Cancer- hormonal cancers more so, but increased of all cancers since others are inflammatory Stroke - better chance surviving it...but also getting it Homron imbalances- stated above GI issues - inflammation of bowel, and then colon cancer, Dementia- Healing time? Depression- serotonin burn out www.functionised.com www.fitlabnj.com Facebook: @functionised Instagram: @functionised ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPNDydhyJEQ

In the first part of the Keto Resiliency study in determining relationships of oxygen saturation and ketone bodies, Jim Goetz was at 0.1 mm/L of blood. After 12 g of exogenous ketones and 2.5 hours, he raised his ketones to 0.8 mm/L. His HRV readings were taken and improved his time under water. www.Functionised.com Facebook: @Functionised Instagram: @Functionised ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib6fj_Boo4c
