This is why Tight Fitness Solutions nutrition consultations are based on the detailed approaches below:

 

1. Life Style appraisal

Though a life style systems assessment questionnaire, we can appropriately discover what are the missing links in your lifestyle patterns that are going to help you achieve your individual results, what you are doing right and what you need to improve day to day can be the strongest link in the chain to improving bodily functions and natural hormone response related to health and fat loss.

2. Neuro transmitter support dominance and deficiency

The Braverman test (also known as the Braverman assessment) is a subjective analysis of your brain neurotransmitters to see a snapshot of your dominant and deficient chemicals.

The best part of the Braverman test is the emphasis on your individuality and unique brain chemistry.

The reality is, some nootropics work for some people and some don’t. For genetic and environmental reasons, we all have slightly different brain chemistries, which is why detailed approach to offering an educated result is needed to help boost brain function.

Brain function related to sleep, stress, motivation and drive.

The Braverman neurotransmitter imbalance quiz is simply True / False questioner that will take anywhere between 15-20 minutes to complete.

(This will be supplied as a take home assessment)

As the test explains, once you are finished you will have a Dominant nature where your brain chemicals are normal or elevated and a deficient nature, which needs dietary and supplemental support. This will assist us in a detailed plan to improve your neural capability’s related to drive, motivation, sleep and stress response.

Because the test is subjective, we will not break it down into particular parts, this will be explained in your nutrition consulting.

3. Digestion Appraisal and analysis, HCL TEST and digestive enzyme support

Stomach health and assimilation of nutrients and inflammation all go hand in hand together.

It is very important that you should maintain the health of your digestive system by consuming only the healthiest foods.

In today’s day, we are currently battling stresses we were not exposed to 50 years ago, this is having a massive effect on digestive function.

Nearly all clients that come to us complain of one digestive issue or another and can all be placed back to stress response, inflammation and improper digestion patterns.

Food quality, poor quality soil and nutrients and fluoride consumption in our water is drastically aiding in our bodies ability to assimilate nutrients effectively, thus resulting in a lot of nutrient defiance related to health and our ability to control toxic exposure related to detoxification.

All this stress is depleting our ability to digest and assimilate nutrients, It’s not what we consume in out nutrition, it’s what we assimilate.

If you want to improve digestion you must couple it with support to ensure a friendly environment of your digestive system.

Improving HLC (Hydrochloric Acid) Production in the stomach to aid in digestion is where we start.

Managing stress, reducing and eliminating pro reactive foods and getting rid of your bad lifestyle habits will also be of great help.

Following a simple step by step digestive enzyme assessment protocol we are able to directly address and dictate any digestion issues related to HCL production in the stomach.

If you’re failing to digest food correctly you may experience symptoms like

An imbalance in the levels of “friendly” and “unfriendly” bacteria in the colon, and a malfunctioning ileocecal valve (waste matter in the colon can be mixed with useful material in the small intestine and eventually be absorbed by the body) can result in dysbiosis.

• Dysbiosis- weakens our ability to protect ourselves from disease-causing microbes.
• Common term leaky gut, This effect a large amount of the population when it comes to health and fat loss goals

According to Dr. Leo Galland, director of the Foundation for Integrated Medicine, the following symptoms might be signs of leaky gut:

• Chronic diarrhoea, constipation, gas or bloating
• Unexplained weight gain
• Bloating and intestinal aggravation post eating
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Poor immune system
• Headaches, brain fog, memory loss
• Excessive fatigue
• Skin rashes and problems such as acne, eczema or rosacea
• Cravings for sugar or carbs
• Arthritis or joint pain
• Depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD
• Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease or Crohn’s

Certain foods and specific supplement protocols may assist in the correction of leaky gut.

4. Detoxification Liver Support and Immune Response Analysis

You should practice consuming foods that are loaded with fiber such as vegetables, fruits.

Fiber promotes right passage of substance all through your digestive system and provides the right stability for your stools.

Balancing out soluble and insoluble fiber intake.

Fiber intake is essential to fat loss, BUT

Removing toxins from the body is Phase 1 and Phase 2 Liver dependent.

The liver needs certain amino acids and minerals from our nutritional intake to complete these important functions.

To be able to process toxins correctly in their insoluble form to soluble form for excretion is what the liver, gall bladder, bowel and kidneys role and all play a vital function in this part of complete detoxification.

Below is a simple chart of what we make sure your body is getting to perform the functions correctly.

Failure to obtain these amino acids and minerals from your nutritional intake will severely affect your body’s ability to lose weight, gain lean muscle mass and obtain over all wellness, health and vitality.

Next to talk about intake of adequate fiber.

It may sound obtuse to talk about, But one of the main questions we get to ask our clients is how well do you know your SHIT! (Sorry to be crass)

This is the most neglected part of human health that people fail to address when focusing on their health and weight loss.

You should be pooping every day, if you are not there is an underlying issue that needs to be addressed and should be treated with importance.

Your detoxification pathways are not effective.

Your poop is your septic tank and it how your body rids itself of toxic load.

The ideal daily consumption of fiber must be at least 30 grams.

A healthy diet consisting of fiber is useful in lessening the danger from increasing possibilities of contracting diverticular disease, heart ailments as well as colorectal cancer.

LIVER FUNCTION and its connection to detoxification and waste product removal is essential for obtaining a lean and health body.

Your body needs certain amino acids and nutrients to perform its corrective functions for weight loss and health if your liver is not effectively functioning you will not remove toxins from your body effectively, this is a direct correlation to how someone is passing stools.

If you’re not passing stools appropriately it can be a direct sign that your liver may need some support in passing nutrients to the bowl and intestinal track to help support stool elimination.

WHAT YOU LIVER NEEDS TO EFFECTIVELY Detoxify

6. Blood Glucose and Glucose tolerance testing

Out of control blood sugar levels can lead to serious short-term problems such as hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, or diabetic ketoacidosis. All effecting and contributing to weight gain, Fluid retention and body fat control.

In the long run, uncontrolled blood sugar can also damage the vessels that supply blood to important organs, like the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves

Uncontrolled blood sugar is related to insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome is closely associated with obesity; however, it is possible to be insulin resistant without being overweight or obese.

Signs you could be insulin resistant

• Lethargy (tiredness)
• Hunger
• Difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
• Weight gain around the middle (belly fat)
• High cholesterol levels
• High blood pressure

Causes of insulin resistance

• If you are overweight or obese
• Having a high-calorie diet, high-carbohydrate or high-sugar diet
• Sedentary lifestyle – taking little physical activity
• Taking high doses of steroids over an extended period of time
• Having chronic stress
• Having Cushing’s disease or polycystic ovary disease

In terms of what is happening inside the body that causes insulin resistance, researchers have observed that insulin resistance occurs in people that have:

• High levels of insulin circulating in their blood
• Excessive fat stored in the liver and pancreas
• High levels of inflammation

Measuring and monitoring blood glucose levels and assessing a glucose tolerance test will be able to determine how you are clearing glucose from the blood stream.

Are you clearing glucose from the blood stream effectively for fat loss and health or are you insulin resistant and the glucose that is converted from the food your eat being utilised into fat cells.

Or are your suffering hyperinsulinemia meaning your producing to much insulin from the pancreas to clear blood sugar.

Hyperinsulinemia, is a condition in which there are excess levels of insulin circulating in the blood relative to the level of glucose.

Meaning there is more insulin in your blood than sugar, Insulins job is to transport glucose into muscle cells, when there is excess insulin to glucose this is called Hyperinsulinemia.

While it is often mistaken for diabetes or hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinemia can result from a variety of metabolic diseases and conditions.

Symptoms of hyperinsulinemia

• Tired after eating
• Sweating after or during meals
• Weakness
• Confusion
• Blurred vision
• Forgetfulness
• Nausea
• Light-headedness
• Palpitations
• Hunger
• Fatigue

Complications of hyperinsulinemia

A number of complications may occur as a result of having hyperinsulinemia and these include the following:

• Increased uric acid level
• Raised triglycerides
• Atherosclerosis
• Weight gain
• Hypertension
• Type 2 diabetes

The end game

The long-term goal is to achieve an optimal HbA1c of 4.5% or less than 5.0% which equates to an average blood sugar level (or 4.6 mmol/L) or less that (5.4 mmol/L) to a stable and consistent level.

Erin’ Story

I had always been pretty fit and never really worried about my weight until a few years ago when I was diagnosed with pcos. My doctors put me on progesterone pills to help ‘reset’ things. Whilst it did help with that I also put on 10kg in a month! I started pushing myself harder at the gym and restricting what I ate (at the advice of doctors) but this only made the situation worse and I put on a further 15kg over the next year. Nothing I was doing was working due to my hormone imbalance but I kept pushing. It was really disheartening that the doctors advice wasn’t helping me either. I honestly thought that I would have to live like this for the rest of my life.

I felt like crap most of the time (low energy, depression, mood swings, headaches, pain, insomnia and the list goes on). I was at war with my body and mind and my self esteem was at an all time low by the time I came to TFS.

Since starting at TFS I have been educated on how to best train & eat with my condition and have seen massive improvements. My mindset has completely changed! Training and nutrition have become my life now and not just some new fad to help me lose the weight. My energy is higher than it has been in years, I no longer suffer from headaches, mood swings or depression. I am sleeping better, my pain has improved massively as well.

The constant support from Ty and everyone at the gym has kept me motivated as well as my weekly Biosignature/Nutrition consults. I now feel amazing, I have seen huge fat loss results, my pcos symptoms are under control and I feel like a completely different person.

Instead of always being focused on ‘I’m just training to lose fat/gain muscle’ I am now focused on improving my PBs,

Still have a way to go but I am finally heading in the right direction!! Thanks again Ty
