In this, the second of the "Slim, Sane, and Sexy" Lecture series of Cady Wellness Institute, Drs. Gabhart and Cady explore the medical literature and probed each other as they co-presented this lecture on the inter-relationship between hormones, diet, exercise, and weight loss. This was held at the Newburgh Public LIbrary for a very appreciative group of women.

6. YRUFT ?
MY STORY

7. YOU ARE FAT BECAUSE YOU
EAT TOO MUCH, RIGHT?

8. Why ARE YOU FAT?
• Food delayed sensitivity allergies
• Metabolic Syndrome (insulin =fat storage)
• Vitamin Deficiencies
• Viruses like EBV, HHV6 - Herpes and CMV
• Stress, emotional and/or physical (the
cortisol connection)
• Food Addiction (salt, sugars, fats) via
dopamine reward pathway. Using
displacement theory in Food Addiction
support groups

9. Foundational Hormone Axis
You Are In The Bermuda Triangle of Fat !

10. Hypothyroidism and FAT
• Central nervous system:
– Fatigue!
– Drowsiness
– Poor memory and concentration
• Decreased metabolism:
– Body weight increases
– Heat production goes down
– Basal metabolic rate goes down
• Gut: decreased activity; constipation
• Cardiovascular – decreased cardiac
output; blood pressure falls

11. THYROID – COMMON SYPMTOMS
• Weight gain, difficulty losing weight, loss of
energy, feeling “sluggish”
• Depressed mood, usually not as severe as major
depression but may play a part
• Low body temperature
• PMS
• Premature menopause
• Losing hair ( alopecia)
• Chronic constipation
• Decreased memory and brain “fog”
• Sleep issues ( too much or too little but not rested)

12. ADRENALS
Common Symptoms of Adrenal Dysfunction
 Weight gain, especially in waist hips and thighs ( cortisol
response)
 Crave sugar/starch and sometimes salt
 Fatigue
 Low blood pressure which may becomes elevated in middle age
 Allergies
 Exercise does not promote weight loss . . . And may even gain!
 Low blood sugar usually after lunch
 Muscle loss and flab even with exercise
 Wakes up every few hours at night
 Is more hungry during the day if eats breakfast
 Low or no libido!

13. FEMALE SEX STEROIDS
Hormones make you fat!!! Don’t they?
 Improves insulin sensitivity ( less cortisol, less fat
storage)
 Improves muscle mass, strength, and metabolism
 Better muscle mass = increased metabolic rate, and you burn
more calories
 Increased serotonin function which decreases cravings and
desires for comfort foods
 Inhibits MAO enzyme activity, which prolongs activity of
serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine and helps to
decrease appetite
 Restores normal sleep stages, which lowers cortisol, increases
GH (growth hormone), and improves nighttime muscle repair
 More?

14. Some Symptoms Of Estradiol
Imbalances
 Weight gain
 Insomnia
 Hot flushes or flashes
 Night sweats
 Memory, communication, and attention span loss, brain “fog”,
depression, and/or anxiety to panic attacks
 Mood swings
 Aches and pain
 Incontinence
 Digestive disturbances
 Sensory function loss
 Ageing skin . . . thinning, wrinkles, sagging

15. A Word About Progesterone . . .
 Increases energy and libido
 Has a calming effect, acting like a benzodiazepine to
the brain
 Enhances mood
 Regulates fluid balance, sodium mineral balance
 Balances blood sugar
 Necessary for fertility
 Increases energy and libido
 Helps relieve menopausal symptoms
 Decreases risk of endometrial cancer and may help
protect against breast cancer, fibrocystic breasts, and
osteoporosis

16. Correct Labs: A begining to
Balance
Adrenal/Hyperinsulinism
3hr GTT with concomitant insulin blood
draws
fasting draw for glucose, insulin and
cortisol
1hr draw for glucose and insulin
2hr draw for glucose and insulin
3hr draw for glucose, insulin and cortisol

17. The key labs to condi
Thyroid
Free T3, Free T4, TSH, RT3
TPO Thyroid Antibodies, Antithyroglobulin
Antibodies
SEX HORMONES
Estradiol, Progesterone. Free Testosterone,
DHEA-S
( if cycling note the day in your cycle)

18. QUESTIONS?

19. Cady Wellness Institute – July 2005
The Reasons:
• Conventional medical practice had failed me twice.
• A lot of “psychiatric cases” WEREN’T “psychiatric.”
• Nobody was integrated.
• Nobody was looking at ALL of the peer-reviewed
literature.

24. But what happens if you let yourself go?

25. SURVIVAL CURVE: Where are
You?
Where would you like to be?

26. Selenium, the Thyroid, and You
• “T3” is the ACTIVE
form of thyroid
• Conversion of T4
to T3 is selenium
dependent
• LP Nano has
200% of RDA of
Se+ selenium

29. The Law of Conservation of Energy
“Energy can neither be
created nor destroyed,
but it can change
forms.”
Cady’s corollary:
“You can’t lose weight
if you’re eating more
than you can burn.”

30. Wired Magazine – Nov. 2008: Change in
food consumption
1969-1971
3,040 calories increased
to
3,760 calories per day
2001-2003

31. Current stats on obesity
National Center for Health Statistics

32. The Doc Cady “Candy Bar a Day”
Weight Loss Program
• 1 lb. of fat = 3,500 kcal (“calories”)
• 3,500 / 7 = 500 calories per day
– You need to not eat’em, or burn’em
• Starving yourself slows your metabolism down, and you
lose muscle mass
– Therefore: reduce 250 calories; burn 250 calories
• 250 calories = no candy bar, or “NO” to 1 & ½
Cokes
• 250 calories = ½ - ¾ hour on treadmill
• NET = 500 calories per day, or 1 lb. lost per
week

33. Glycemic index
• A measure of how fast a
carbohydrate triggers a rise in
circulating blood sugar.
• The higher the number, the greater
the blood sugar response.

35. Doc Cady “Candy Bar a Day”
program FLAWS:
• Not all calories from food do the same
thing to your body:
– Removing 250 cal of sweet potatoes is not
the same as removing 250 calories from
candy bars
• This program only focuses on WEIGHT
LOSS, and not OPTIMUM HEALTH

55. How to avoid “DIE – with a T”
• Reduce glycemic load!
• Eat ‘til your belly is reasonably full (just eat
the right stuff!)
• Downstream effects:
– Lack of hunger
– Lack of feeling of deprivation

56. Adjusting your hormonal carburetor
• If “hungry and loopy”
– Decrease carbohydrates
• If “hungry but GOOD MENTAL FOCUS”
• Increase low glycemic carbs
• No hunger for 4 – 6 hours
– You are in the zone! 

57. Back to the Future: • Diet can and should
21st Century be the “primary
medicine drug.”
• We can correlate
the dietary causes
and effects
• Return to
Hippocrates:
“Let food be your
medicine, and let
medicine be your
food.”

61. Success and Failure (Jim Rohn)
What about you? You’ve only got one body.
• “Errors in judgement” - High glycemic eating,
no exercise, poor nutrition, lousy or no
supplementation, high stress lifestyle.
- “Good disciplines” – appropriate diet,
supplementation, exercise, hormones. Stress
management. Decent lifestyle.

62. “There are two objects of medical education: to heal
the sick and to advance the science.”
- Dr. Charles H. Mayo, MD
“The glory of medicine is that it is always moving
forward, that there is always more to learn.”
