Ketoavie: Keto, Intermittent Fasting & Hormone-Friendly Nutrition Guide

If you’ve just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), you’re probably asking: “What does this mean? How did I get here? What can I do now?” This article gives you a clear roadmap—breaking down the biology of RA , showing how it connects with insuline resistance and inflammation , and giving you actionable steps you can use right now. What’s Really Going On with RA? Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease : your immune system is attacking your own joint tissues—specifically, the synovial membrane and sometimes other organs. This leads to: Persistent inflammation in your joints Swelling, pain, stiffness (especially in the morning) Degradation of cartilage and joint lining Potential extra-joint involvement (skin, eyes, lungs)

Are you " skinny fat " or struggling to gain muscle mass healthily? This guide offers the ultimate LCHF/Keto strategy for gaining weight, focusing on nutrient density over simple calories. We break down the exact foods, supplements, and lifestyle steps needed to build quality muscle, optimize your metabolism, and achieve true metabolic health—even if your goal isn't weight loss.

This guide is specifically for those who need to gain weight and build muscle while m...

The Microbiome and Endometriosis: How Gut Bacteria Influence Hormones, Inflammation, and Healing As a women’s health practitioner , I’ve seen firsthand how gut health and hormonal balance are deeply intertwined. For many women with endometriosis , focusing only on hormones or surgery isn’t enough — because the roots of the condition often extend far deeper, into the gut and reproductive microbiome . Recent research is now uncovering how these microscopic communities of bacteria may hold the missing link in understanding and treating endometriosis naturally and holistically. Emerging research shows that gut imbalances don't just influence inflammation and hormones - they may also contribute to insulin resistance , a common issue in women with PCOS and other hormonal conditions.

Most women are told that irregular or heavy periods are “just a hormone problem.” But new research shows something different: in many cases, the real issue lies in metabolism—especially insulin resistance . The Uterus as a Metabolic Organ The uterus is a highly vascular organ, made of smooth muscle cells, similar to blood vessels. Just like the heart or kidneys, it can be affected by inflammation and high insulin levels . This means that problems such as heavy bleeding, fibroids , or irregular cycles are often not only “hormonal issues” but also metabolic red flags . What a Normal Period Looks Like A healthy period usually: Lasts 3–5 days Involves 30–60 ml of blood (around two shot glasses) If you bleed more than 5 days, change pads/tampons every hour, or feel constantly exhausted during your cycle—this is not normal . It could be an early sign of insulin resistance and inflammation. The Link Between Insulin Resistance and Menstrual Health Studies have found that women with abnorm...
