Malnutrition is an imbalance between the growth and breakdown of body tissues and nutrient stores, resulting in loss of muscle and organ mass, diminished physical and mental functioning, and impaired clinical outcomes. Over the past 50 years, malnutrition has been increasingly recognized as a deleterious consequence of chronic and acute disease. On the basis of the cause of malnutrition, three subtypes are recognized: disease-related malnutrition in the absence of underlying inflammation, disease-related malnutrition with underlying inflammation, and starvation due to inadequate access to food (i.e., food insecurity) (shown in figure). Malnutrition occurs in up to 10% of community-dwelling older people and contributes to morbidity and mortality. The two main pathologic pathways are nutrient deprivation and inflammation-induced tissue catabolism with anorexia.

Is your SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) caused by the vicious circle of poor thyroid function and endotoxemia? Are endotoxins from your gut driving your weight gain, fatty liver, depression or psoriasis? In this video I explain what SIBO is, how it may relate to poor thyroid function in some people and how to break the link of this potential vicious circle by reducing endotoxins from gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxemia is also associated with an ever growing number of inflammatory conditions including obesity, heart disease, depression, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions and autoimmune disease. Thus the advice I give in this video to reduce endotoxemia would likely benefit you in optimising your health whether or not you have SIBO. https://buff.ly/3um4pp5 #SIBO #Endotoxins #GutHealth #Wellbeing #Nutrition #NutritionalTherapy #FunctionalMedicine #Naturopathy #WisdomNutrition

Fast facts If your liver is not functioning properly, toxins that would normaly be filtered by the liver will acumulate in the body. Most people’s lives work only at around 35-40% of their potential capacity, because of the large amount of toxins we ingest. When its working properly, the liver can clean up to 99% of bacteria and toxins from the blood. Around 2.25 litres (4 pints) of blood pass through the liver every minute for detoxification, and every day the liver manufactures about 1 litre (2 pints) of bile, which help carry away toxins via the bowel. Due to the widespread epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome, NAFLD has emerged as the leading cause of chronic liver disease globally. #fattyliver #gutbrainconnection #liverhealth #liver #mentalhealth #alzheimersdisease #parkinsonsdisease #london #healthandwellness #healthcareeducation #nutrition #clinicalnutrition #brainhealth

Low active thyroid hormone in ESRD in the setting of normal thyroid function has been linked to malnutrition. Managing malnutrition in ESRD is complex but one thing that can help is ensuring patients get enough protein and calories to meet their needs. If you have a dialysis patient struggling to improve their oral intake through diet changes and supplements, consider referring them for IDPN for HD or IPN for PD. These personalized, dialysis-specific forms of protein delivery may be the boost your patients need. To learn more about euthyroid sick syndrome and thyroid disorders, register for our upcoming webinar.

Diabetes-The Essential Facts. A comprehensive course on diabetes provided a profound understanding of its causes, effects, and symptoms, as well as a global perspective on incidents and variations in different regions. The knowledge gained extended beyond conventional boundaries, exposing the dynamic nature of the field and the ongoing scientific advancements. This educational experience broadened awareness of the global diabetic landscape and fueled anticipation for transformative strides in diabetes care and treatment. The course also highlighted the importance of nutrition in managing diabetes. #diabetes #diabetesawareness #diabetesprevention #nutrition

https://lnkd.in/exP4EA8p A new study suggests that consuming a flavonol-rich diet is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and mortality risk from certain chronic diseases. The research found that the highest intake of dietary flavonols reduced the risk of cancer-related mortality by 55%, cardiovascular disease mortality by 33%, and risk of death from other causes by 36%. Specific flavonols contributed respectively to substantial reductions in all-cause and disease-specific mortality risks, with the highest myricetin consumption exhibiting a 66% decrease in Alzheimer’s disease-specific mortality risk. The study results also suggested that the consumption of flavonols had a greater protective effect against all-cause mortality in those over 40 years old than in younger individuals. #cnelm #nutrition #flavonoids #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionist
