Why Gluten Free? Part 3 #glutenfree
If you have been diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and chronic
stress, migraines, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, focus problems,
inflammation—including arthritis, insomnia, intestinal problems, memory
problems (dementia, Alzheimer’s), mood disorders, overweight and obesity, or Tourette’s
syndrome, you could be among the millions that are very sensitive to gluten. When
sugar is added to this sensitivity, free radical fats stop your brain’s health,
so problems begin to come in the form in the above diseases and disorders. The
book Grain
Brain can help pinpoint the problems and aid you in changing unhealthy
habits and put you on the right track with eating and exercise.
Dr. Perlmutter, the author of Grain Brain, concludes
that most of us believe brain problems are predisposition of DNA from relatives
and don’t understand the connection between diet and a healthy brain. The main
functions of the brain need healthy fat to maintain the right mechanics to
operate properly. Yet, as I said above, most of us eat too much sugar and
simple carbohydrates, which turn to sugar quickly, to let these good fats do
their work. By the time the fats reach the brain, they become free radicals
that cause inflammation in the body, stomach and brain, causing many diseases.
One very helpful aid, besides changing our diet, is taking a
vitamin D and vitamin E (which I just saw on ABC world news last night) capsule
daily and helping with the free radical problems, and taking vitamin C.
Perlmutter maintains that Vitamin D isn’t actually a vitamin at all. He
contends it’s a necessary protein for the brain. He also says that if you are
going to drink alcohol, avoid beer and vodka, which have gluten in them. He
says a glass of wine will be okay and possibly helpful. One glass!
Tests that you can ask your doctor to give you are: Fasting
blood glucose, Hemoglobin AIC, Fructosamine, Fasting insulin, Homocysteine, Vitamin
D, Creative protein (CRP) Cyrex array 3, Cyrex array 4 (optional). All of these tests can help you find
out if your body is being depleted by gluten and if your brain is getting
enough of the proper fats and proteins to function normally.
Dr. Perlmutter brings the culprit of the entire body down to
inflammation. I know with me, gluten causes an acidic base in the body, which creates
a sour stomach. After which, the acid tends to make my body ache with arthritic
pain. I also tend to feel muddled mentally sometimes, especially during times
of dreary, overcast weather.
I have seen a considerable difference in my entire body,
sleep patterns, and mental acuity since I have begun this quest to eliminate
gluten and decrease the amounts of sugars in my body. Around the holidays it
was difficult, but I made sure that I had gluten free chocolate chip cookies
incase I wanted a treat with every one else, and I made gluten free bread and
rolls for turkey sandwiches. The rolls tend to be a favorite in my family, as
they often taste better and richer because of the olive oils and high protein
with 6 eggs in them.
Lastly, Perlmutter discusses our desire to reduce egg
intake. He says we have been told a myth about eggs. The cholesterol that helps
brain health is produced by eggs, as long as you don’t alter the LDL fats with
sugar. So, basically, the cornerstone of this diet is close to the Paleo diet,
because a healthy brain diet is about increasing protein, fat, and vegetable
intake, while decreasing sugars, simple carbs, and most certainly ridding the
body of all gluten.

Year to CLEAR (C-larity, L-ove, E-nthusiasm A-nd R-elationship-Ready) on my
Website in the Webstore. Thanks!
Below is information that I will be sharing for about a
month, as not every person on my list reads the blog every day. If you have
already read it, just skip over it. Thanks for understanding.
A
Year to CLEAR Challenge:
(Please Know: You Can Join Us At Any Point in the Year
Challenge.)
The masses search outward for things that qualify them as a
person, but I always go inward for that which quantifies me for greatness. At
twenty-five I preached on street corners in NYC as an in-the-closet Pentecostal
minister. One day I heard a still small voice say, ‘God cannot be contained in a
book or a law or even in a religion. Dig deeper, reach further to find me, and
you will find your authentic Self.’”
A Year to CLEAR Challenge!
The acronym CLEAR
stands for (Compassionate, Loving,
Enthusiastic, And Relationship-Ready). The goal of this project is to
engulf readers in a weekly study that will transform them by removing blocks,
promote self-growth, and give them wings to fly freely into daily life. Each
week, by going to BoSebastian.com and choosing the Year to CLEAR Challenge tab,
a new challenge or thought to provoke conversation, growth, and group
functionality.
My vision is to make Finding Authentic You the book to
have in your Kindle or on your computer. The book is a comprehensive look at
growth—spiritually, mentally, and physically.
As a yoga teacher and student of the Ayurvedic tradition, I bring
to the table understanding of physical challenges, the ability to overcome
mental problems with Life & Health Coaching, as well as hypnotherapy, and
expertise in meditation and spirituality as a minister.
The combination of all three in one book with an interactive
connection to like-minded readers, for one year, is what makes this Year to
CLEAR Challenge a must-do for every spiritual seeker.
The One-Year Approach to Change
No one believes he or she can change overnight. But success in
change comes from the metaphors of nature. Seasonally, life changes all around
us in nature. Finding Authentic You offers a gradual change perspective,
looking at the triune aspects of change as in yoga: Body, Mind and Spirit.
Accessing the
ability to change and finding
yourself actually pursuing change must be a daily search, which I call
getting to the “observer mind.”
In this frontal cortex of the brain we find the anatomy of
change and the power to counter every negative trigger of the human process.
The workings of Hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) and EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are all positive actions to help the
mind and body flow to a positive space for change.
Every aspect of FINDING AUTHENTIC YOU fulfills this
constant need for diffusing the negative past and dreaming of a fulfilling
future.
Step 1: Recognize That Change is Inevitable
Step 2: Release from Resistance
to Change
Step 3: Understanding Change and Allow Spirit to Define It
Step 4: A History Lesson—About You
Step 5: Look at Your Past with Compassion
Step 6: Making a Strong Commitment to Change
Step 7: Dream Your Fabulous Future
