Bloated, Stressed, and Stuck?

How Cortisol, Insulin Resistance, and Metabolic Rhythms Shape Gut Health — and What That Means for Healing, Fasting, and Cancer Care

Modern healthcare clients often present with a familiar cluster of complaints: bloating, fatigue, brain fog, sleep disturbance, and stubborn weight gain — all while eating “pretty well.”
Functional nutritionist Shana Hussin, RDN, explored this pattern beautifully in her conversation on High Desert Health Coaching: “Bloated and Stressed Out: Cortisol, Insulin Resistance and Healing.”

Her key message resonates far beyond digestive health: our gut symptoms often reflect stress-driven hormonal imbalance, not simply dietary intolerance.

🔬 Fasting and Cancer: A New Way to Think About Healing

Cancer has long been seen as a disease of genetic mutations, a random malfunction of cells gone rogue. Yet, a growing body of research — championed by experts like Dr Jason Fung, author of The Cancer Code — suggests there’s more to the story.

According to Dr Fung, cancer is not just a disease of genetics, but of metabolism — a condition driven by the environment within the body, particularly by what and how often we eat.

Author of the international bestsellers The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code Dr. Jason Fung returns with an eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancer—and issues a call to action for reducing risk moving forward.

Book Summary: How and When to Be Your Own Doctor

How And When To Be Your Own Doctor (1996) This book was written after 25 years of clinical practice. Dr. Isabelle Moser was not a rigid, doctrinaire natural hygienist. She incorporated into her practice what she considered the most useful aspects of many disciplines, including vitamins and other food supplements, protomorphogens, massage, accupressure, colonics, dietary restriction, etc. Dr Moser practised during the late 20th century, and Steve Solomon, her husband, was a well-known writer and gardening expert. Together, they created a work that sits at the intersection of natural hygiene, self-reliance, and practical health wisdom. This isn’t a book about popping supplements or chasing the latest health trend. It’s about reclaiming responsibility for your body and your health, and it does so through some bold—and sometimes challenging—ideas, eg water fasting.

“Its a virtual certainty that to fully recover, a seriously ill person will have to significantly rebuild numerous organs. They have a hard choice: to accept a life of misery, one that the medical doctors with drugs and surgery may be able to prolong into an interminable hell on earth, or, spend several years working on really healing their body, rotating between water fasting, juice or broth fasting, extended periods on a cleansing raw food diet, and periods of no-cleansing on a more complete diet that includes moderate amounts of cooked vegetables…”

We have been lied to… the Dietary Guidelines were bought…

#isupportgary is a platform set up to question the ‘silencing’ of Dr. Gary Fettke, a senior Orthopaedic Surgeon in Tasmania, following his two-and-a-half-year investigation by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) for talking about nutrition.

(EDIT;- Gary has been cleared of all trumped up charges by the National AHPRA medical board. After 4 1/2 years, we couldn’t be more relieved October 3, 2018)

Honestly, if it hadn’t been for the prolonged investigation by AHPRA, and their complete dismissal of the evidence Gary continually brought to light, we may never have considered ‘why’ the science he was presenting on the health benefits of Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat principles (LCHF) was being so religiously defended.

Reversing Insulin Resistance… with Intermittent Fasting

Reverse Insulin Resistance with Intermittent Fasting
  • Intermittent fasting is the best insulin resistance diet to help your cells respond to insulin.
  • When your body gets the signal that you’ve eaten, beta cells in your pancreas produce insulin, a hormone that tells your cells to absorb glucose to use as fuel.
  • Your cells respond by receiving the glucose from your bloodstream. This gives you the energy you need, and you don’t pack on body fat. But sometimes, this communication gets thrown off.
  • Insulin resistance is when insulin tells your cells that fuel is coming, but they don’t open up to receive glucose. So, sugar stays in the bloodstream, and after a while your body stores it as fat.
  • Read on to find out how intermittent fasting can fix insulin resistance. Continue reading “Reversing Insulin Resistance… with Intermittent Fasting”
