Living Healthy model with Kathy Jensen, RD

Host Ellen Kamhi, PhD RN, interviews Kathy Jensen, RD about Living Healthy.

Who is Kathy Jensen, RD?

living healthy modelKathy is a Registered Dietitian for Colorado Mental Health Institute. Kathy has been instrumental in initiating the  Living Healthy model at the institute by transforming the menus to be much healthier: low fat, low cholesterol, low sodium (3g.), lower in calories, high fiber, higher in potassium and consistent in carbohydrate at each meal.  She has eliminated as many chemicals in the foods as possible,  providing great meals  without preservatives, colorings, etc.

By cooking from scratch the institute is able to feed patients all the food they need to meet and exceed daily requirements on a very tight budget.  Living Healthy also provides an intensive education program for staff,  in nutrition and making healthy choices.  It also involved working with the psychologists for rewards systems that support healthy choices.

Kathy also founded The Diabetes Wellness Network International, Inc.  a non-profit corporation which  delivers low cost education programs for families, and works to educate Dieticians on how to bring whole , nutritious vegetable based food to institutions, while meeting restricted budgets.

Natural Cures for Arthritis with Ellen Kamhi , The Natural Nurse

In this episode of The Functional Medicine Radio show with Dr. Carri, Ellen is her special guest where they  talk about arthritis and inflammation, and natural remedies to halt arthritis in its tracks.

Main Questions Asked:

  • Causes of Arthritis
  • Stealth pathogens – whats the connection?
  • Herbs and supplements for  inflammation

Key Points Made By Ellen:

  • “cure” refers to the reversal of  symptoms, pain elimination and reversal of blood indicators
  • Inflammation can be linked directly to leaky gut.
  • Take responsibility for the causes.
  • Toxins and food allergens can trigger an inflammatory response.
  • Eliminate packaged foods with words you cannot pronounce
  • Cleansing diet is key
  • Natural remedies, self  responsibility, exercise
  • Stress reduction mind-body work, massages, try rubbing a tennis ball on the bottom of your foot.
  • Take active action in your life.
  • Herbs to support liver are milk thistle, dandelion and burdock root.
  • Stealth pathogens are microorganisms that can encase themselves and hide, such as lyme disease.
  • Overuse of antibiotics causes the development of resistant strains.
  • Some natural remedies such as berberine actually down-regulates the MDR pump- its an excellent natural antibiotic which doesn’t cause resistant strains.
  • Either you change your lifestyle and the initiating factors or the disease will continue to advance- your choice
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to bring down the pain of arthritis help temporarily- the problem is they actually increase leaky gut syndrome and in that way they make the disease process worse over time!
  • Curcumin– well-proven to have anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Increased absorption If combined with piperine (from black pepper)
  • Other herbs to help with the inflammation of arthritis are boswellia, white willow bark, external topical agents such as ginger compresses.
  • For autoimmune types of arthritis, the best combo is rehmannia, rosemary or rosmarinic acid, and cordyceps. These all help deactivate the autoimmune response, and are found in T Cell Balance.
