The store is open today 11-5.

WHY WAS TERRY LEMEROND SO INTERESTED IN BERBERINE?

If you've struggled with your weight for years, you've probably tried changing your diet, exercising more, or cutting calories.

But metabolic health deserves attention, too.

One botanical compound Terry Lemerond frequently recommended was berberine, which has been studied for its effects on blood sugar, triglycerides, and body weight.

WHAT MAKES BERBERINE INTERESTING?

Research suggests it may help:

• Support healthy blood sugar levels
• Promote modest weight reduction
• Maintain healthy triglyceride levels
• Influence the gut microbiome

Terry particularly favored berberine sourced from Indian barberry (Berberis aristata).

TERRY'S RECOMMENDED APPROACH

He suggested either:

500 mg of berberine three times daily, with meals, or 250 mg of berberine with gamma cyclodextrin once daily.

His recommendation was to combine berberine with dietary and lifestyle changes and remain consistent for at least three months.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Sustainable weight management starts with a comprehensive approach to metabolic health—not a search for a magic pill.

We were promised 'safe and effective', but it turns out they knew their system for checking 'safe' wasn't working properly.

'BMJ Investigation-US officials knew covid vaccine safety system was flawed—but turned aside the FDA doctor who alerted them' Read the abstract that recently was published in the British Medical Journal.

This should not lead to fear, but rather to a realization that we all need to do our own research-and listen to our exquisitely designed bodies!
