A Windy and Cold Santa Rosa 70.3 - Update from Cherie Gruenfeld

A Windy and Cold Santa Rosa 70.3 - Update from Cherie Gruenfeld

I just returned from doing Santa Rosa 70.3.

We all have areas of weakness, or what I like to refer to as: “Something I don’t do very well.”

I don’t do well in cold – water or air. And Santa Rosa was a real challenge in both areas.

The good news about this weakness is that there’s a counterbalance. I handle heat and humidity better than many. But I digress – this weekend was not about heat and humidity.

Entering the water, I looked like the Michelin Man. I had as many layers under my wetsuit and on my head as was possible. I set a new PR in T1 – for slow. With frozen hands, it took nearly twelve minutes to peel off all the layers and put on new layers to start the bike, which started with a bone-chilling three mile downhill.

It was a beautiful ride, which helped take my mind off the chilly winds and by T2, I was warmed up and ready to run.

I crossed the finish line in 6:23 which won the age group and, considering the unusually long transition times, I was happy with that.

As always, it was Perfect Amino that helped my day. It starts during training, where I use it before and after every workout. And on race day, regardless of challenges presented, I have confidence, knowing I’m strong and prepared.

Fast-Acting Sugars Vs Slow-Acting Sugars & The Ballooning Of A Nation
Fast-Acting Sugars Vs Slow-Acting Sugars & The Ballooning Of A Nation

by Dr. David Minkoff October 14, 2021 8 min read 0 Comments

Alright, so we know that when sugar comes into the body Insulin is released to shuttle that sugar into the cell. And if the cell is full, then it connects the sugars in chains and stores them as something called Glycogen in your muscle and liver cells for use later on. And if those are full then it connects the sugar to fatty acids and stores it as body fat. And, while Insulin is in the blood stream, fat burning is prevented.

We also know that, given too much sugar for too long, the cells start resisting it and refusing to let it in when Insulin tells them too, causing them to have less sugar to make energy with as well as causing more of it to be converted to body fat.

This is the second article in a series on Insulin, Insulin Resistance, Sugar and Body Fat, as a well as an overall series on hormones, so stay tuned!

Alright, if you read the first article in this series (Link this to first article) then you understand that when sugar is in the blood stream the hormone Insulin is released to send it into the cells for energy, or to store it as energy in the muscles as something called Glycogen, or to convert it into fats known as Triglycerides — body fat.

And that while insulin is in the bloodstream almost no fat burning can take plac

About 90% Of Your Body Fat Comes From… Sugar
About 90% Of Your Body Fat Comes From… Sugar

by Dr. David Minkoff October 14, 2021 6 min read 0 Comments

Yes, about 90% of what most of us consider as body fat is made by and from sugar. 

But probably not how you think. 

And it has a lot more to do with the type of sugar it is and, more specifically, how it affects your hormones (messenger chemicals that tell your body how to use the food you put into it). 

Because it’s your hormones that will determine what will ultimately happen with this sugar and whether or not it will be used to make new body fat.

Let me assure you, this is not another low carb rant!
