There are a lot of things to be grateful for in life. A great career, family, a good friend or two, a nice house, a slick car and vacations are usually at the top. But gleaming far above any one of these is great health. This fact hit Stan hard when his doctor told him his triglycerides were too high. With high triglycerides, Stan risks obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Fortunately, there's an easy fix that doesn't require a pharmacy. n nYou can lower your triglycerides level and stop obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease and even cancer naturally. This means, in many cases (not all), you don't need medication that can harm your body in other ways.n nHow to Increase Your Triglyceride Level and Put Your Health at Riskn nStan has been focusing on work, work and more work. Doing so has left him out of the gym and eating for convenience rather than health. This has caused him to take in more calories than he uses. A high triglyceride level (usually anything over 200 mg/dL) is simply the result of an energy imbalance within your body. Rather than you utilizing fat and glucose (sugar) to "run on a treadmill," or "chase your wife around the bedroom," these molecules run amuck in the blood.n nSince metabolism likes to be as tidy as possible, it packages the unused fat and sugar fuel into a storage molecule known as a triglyceride. Once merged, they are stuffed into your belly (adipose tissue), your muscles (makes muscles look soft rather than hard and shredded) and even your liver (fatty liver) as storage.n nHow to Lower Your Triglyceride Level with a Natural Enemyn nTriglycerides natural enemy is a hormone known as glucagon. It's the Loch Ness Monster of hormones because it's rarely seen. High triglyceride levels are usually accompanied with high insulin (this is the "Oh, please don't take your shirt off hormone"). Insulin stores fat while smothering glucagon production. Bring it back to the surface (by increasing your hormone intelligence), and glucagon will smash triglycerides, as well as all the medical complications that accompany them.n n3 Steps to Lowering Your Triglycerides Naturallyn nStep 1: Space your meals out by five hours. This will help insulin simmer down so that your body can produce glucagon. Make sure your meals consist mostly of purified water along with healthy fats like seeds, nuts, grass fed beef, real butter, cod liver oil and avocados.n nStep 2: Start supplementing with a teaspoon of psyllium husk and about 300mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily. This will slow the absorption of calories and cause your body to speed up sugar metabolism for the overall effect of reversing an energy imbalance.n nStep 3: Exercise. Either chase your spouse around the bedroom more often, or make it a habit to do my 16-minute total body work out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g0f65I4khA) every other day.n nSticking to the plan, Stan's triglyceride levels dropped from 556 to 172 mg/dL in a matter of 43 days! Side effects included 8 lbs of fat loss (from 173 to 165lbs), a gain in 5 lbs of muscle mass and skyrocketing energy. His wife started looking at him more often too. I suspect there are a few more welcome side effects to come, like increased longevity, which translates into more time with family and friends as well as enjoying an exotic vacation or two.

Hormones play a powerful role in the body, influencing far more than most people realize. These chemical messengers coordinate communication between organs and systems, helping regulate everything from metabolism and mood to sleep cycles and energy levels.
