Q

What organs are involved in blood sugar regulation in a person with optimal blood sugar regulation?

A

Pancreas and liver

17
Q

What organ(s) are recruited in “emergency” blood sugar dysregulation?

A

Adrenal glands

18
Q

What are necessary components for sufficient stomach acid (HCl) production?

A

Parasympathetic nervous system state, water, sufficient protein, nutrients (iron, zinc, and B vitamins), etc.

19
Q

What are the three types of reactions to therapeutic change?

A

Sensitivity/allergy, digestive reaction, healing reaction

20
Q

What hormones are released in the duodenum?

A

CCK and secretin

21
Q

What does CCK do?

A

Triggers the gallbladder to release bile, signals the brain to feel full, and triggers the release of digestive enzymes.

22
Q

What does secretin do?

A

Triggers the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which increases the ph in the duodenum.

23
Q

What are the four steps in transitioning to a nutrient-dense diet?

A
  1. Adjust macros for bio-individual needs, 2. Learn how to source high quality food, 3. Learn how to prepare food properly (soaking, sprouting, fermenting), 4. Learn how to eat mindfully
24
Q

What are the six levels of structural integration?

A
  1. Chemical, 2. Cellular, 3. Tissue, 4. Organ, 5. System, 6. Organism
25
Q

What is homeostasis?

A

A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function optimally.

26
Q

At what level of structural integration do you find the most important parameters for homeostasis?

A

Chemical level

27
Q

What is the difference between anatomy and physiology?

A

Anatomy describes the structure/parts, and physiology describes the function/process.

28
Q

How does our anatomy adapt to our physical needs?

A

Our bodies readily respond to changes in our environment including: adjusting to different climates/altitudes, absorb nutrients from a wide variety of sources, form calluses in response to pressure/contact, etc.

29
Q

What is bio-individuality?

A

The idea that all humans are unique in our biological makeup and needs. Every person has their own specific nutritive and health needs, as well as routines, practices, and preferences that work for them.

30
Q

What is epigenetics?

A

How your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way genes express.
