3 Possible Reactions to a Nutritional Protocol + example of each

1. DIGESTIVE Reaction Ex: heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, etc 2. SENSITIVITY/ALLERGY Reaction Ex: rash, itching, problem swallowing or breathing 3. HEALING Reaction Ex: flu-like symptoms, nausea

Name: conversion of protein to glucose in the liver

gluconeogenesis

Define Metabolic Flexibilty

The ability to use different metabolic pathways for fuel.

Purpose of FE (Functional Evaluation)

Gather information directly from the client`s body

Glycogenolysis

conversion of glycogen back to blood glucose as needed for fuel

Cofactors necessary to conjugate fatty acids into prostaglandins

1. Proper digestion 2. Proper liver function 3. Enzymes

The 3 Keys for LNT preparation

1. Water for client to rinse 2. Spit cup 3. Do not touch supplements

What does a Digestive Reaction look like?

Digestive problems like diarrhoea, constipation, heartburn

What exists between the stomach and duodenum?

Phyloric Sphincter

Optimal Ratio of Macronutrients

30/30/40 | P/F/C

What does an Allergic/Sensitivity Reaction look like?

Allergic or sensitivity symptoms like rash or congestion

List the Foundations

1. Digestion 2. Blood Sugar Regulation 3. Mineral Balance 4. Fatty Acid Balance 5. Hydration 6. Properly Prepared, Nutrient-Dense Diet

Define "Digestion"

the Mechanical and Chemical breakdown of food

Purpose of Initial Interview and Disclaimer

1. Introduce self 2. Build rapport 3. Determine ability to help client

Define Anatomy v Physiology

Anatomy: study of body parts and their structure Physiology: study of how the body parts function

LA stands for?

Linoleic Acid

Purpose of Scheduling Follow-up Session at end of Consultation
