b"The obesity epidemic is directly related to excessive sugar consumption.\\nA ketogenic diet, which is high in healthy fat and very low in sugar, especially for those who are insulin resistant, has been show to reverse cancer in many cases, and research shows a lot of promise in this area.\\nProducts that assist with weight loss:\\n5-HTP 100mg - Stressful lifestyles and poor diets often cause a depletion of serotonin levels. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) has been used for many years to replenish serotonin levels and support a healthy mood and sleep cycle regulation. Supplementation with 5-HTP has been shown to increase serotonin levels in the central nervous system. The essential amino acid, tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Tryptophan hydroxylase can be inhibited by a number of factors including stress, insulin resistance, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency, and insufficient magnesium levels. Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and thus supports optimal levels of serotonin.\\nLab Suggested in Today\\u2019s Show:\\nComprehensive Panel with included Consultation:\\nThe GWH - 3.
