The Olive leaf is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, which scientists study for its potential to prevent chronic diseases. Research points to lower rates of illnesses and cancer-related deaths among populations that follow this diet. The positive effect is due in part to the powerful and health-boosting benefits of the olive leaf in laboratory tests. Olive leaf also contains a uniquely powerful antioxidant plant polyphenol called oleuropein. The antioxidants in Olive leaves can lower blood sugar and help stabilize it to maintain healthy levels. Researchers find that this effect helps treat people with diabetes and may prevent you from developing the disease. Studies also show that Olive leaf extract can reduce your body’s insulin resistance, one of the bi ggest risk factors for diabetes and unwanted weight gain. "Results of analysis presented significant decreases in BMI, fat mass, and body weight in the Olive leaf extract group compared to those in the placebo group."

Olive leaf - oleuropein - Studies show that the oleuropein in Olive leaf extract prevents unwanted weight gain and reduces the risk of obesity. In laboratory tests, oleuropein lowered body fat and reduced weight gain in animals fed high-cholesterol and high-fat diets. It also reduced food intake, suggesting olive leaf extract can also help manage appetite and overeating.

Because Olive leaves have been an important part of the Mediterranean diet for centuries, Olive leaf extract is considered very safe for most people. But for those using anti diabetic medications, or any prescribed medications, it is best avoided due to it's possible effect of altering the intensity of medications.

Barberry root bark (Berberis vulgaris L.) is one of the plants that contain berberine and has had a long history in eastern and western medical tradition and isknown to improve insulin sensitivity in people with and without diabetes.

"Results show that berberine actually increases insulin sensitivity and is capable of inhibiting alpha glucosidase, adipogenesis, and thus acts as an anti-obesity and hypoglycemic agent. Berberine reduces the density of serum cholesterol and triglycerides and can improve the function of liver enzymes, therefore, it can be suggested as a hypo lipidemic and hepato protective plant extract. The hepato protective effects of this extract are probably due to its antioxidant properties."

"Studies show that barberry has numerous health benefits, including being an anti-inflammatory. Moreover, it can be used as a medicinal herb to support/relieve a variety of disorders, such as diabetes, liver disease, gallbladder pain, digestive, urinary tract diseases, and gallstones." "Due to multiple properties of the root of Barberry on controlling the complications of diabetes, reducing and controlling lipid profiles and liver enzymes, and its obvious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its ability to influence the secretion of the thyroid hormones, therefore this plant can be considered as a candidate for the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, thyroid disorders and liver disease."

"Recently, Fki et al. [7] investigated and compared the hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective protective effects of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol-rich OLE at 16 mg/kg in HFD fed rats. Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol similarly decreased body weight and white adipose tissue accumulation by inhibiting the excess increase in the number and/or size of adipocytes and improved the lipid metabolism by elevating the antioxidant system capacity and preventing the expression of the proteins implicated in inflammation and liver injury [7]. In a study by Shen et al. [20], the addition of OLE to HFD in mice significantly reduced body weight gain, visceral fat-pad weights, and plasma lipid levels by downregulating the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and increasing the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis in the visceral adipose tissue."

"This is the first study evaluating the effects of OLE supplementation with a weight loss diet in obese women."

"CONCLUSION - In conclusion, based on results it seems that 8-week Olive Leaf supplementation along with a weight loss diet compared with a weight-loss diet alone may be more effective in improving obesity and metabolic risk factors."

More Barberry / Berberine Research findings:

The findings of several recent studies on berberine and weight loss are below:

A 2020 review investigating 35 studies from 2006–2019 suggests that berberine is effective in reducing and preventing obesity.

Research from 2022 also concluded that berberine can help with long-term weight loss and prevent people from developing obesity.

Another 2020 review investigating several effects of berberine supplements on the body found that taking berberine can reduce the following:

body weight

body mass index (BMI), which is a measure of a person’s body fat based on their height and weight

waist circumference

Research from 2023 refers to a clinical study in which participants with obesity took 1.5 grams (g) of berberine daily for 24 weeks. It found that berberine significantly reduced BMI and waist circumference among these people.

"Berberine (Ber) is a primary active ingredient isolated from the root and bark of Barberry - Coptidis rhizoma, a traditional Chinese herb recorded in the ancient book of traditional Chinese medicine, The Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica (Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing). It has been used for decades in China as a nonprescription drug to treat gastrointestinal infections, such as bacillary dysentery. Due to its multipharmacological effects on a wide spectrum of aging-related diseases, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and Alzheimer's disease, Ber has been proposed as an attractive “elixir of eternal life” for anti-aging. In various model systems of aging/senescence, such as fetal lung diploid fibroblasts, Drosophila, and mice, Ber has readily demonstrated an anti-senescence or life span–prolonging function. Mitochondria are at the metabolic core of energy production and participate in the aging process as signaling organelles. This chapter discusses the metabolic control of Ber by mitochondria and caloric restriction as an anti-aging pharmacological mechanism."

Metabolic syndrome is a condition that includes a cluster of risk factors specific for cardiovascular disease. The cluster of metabolic factors include abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, high triglyceride levels, and low HDL cholesterol levels.

Clinical Features Of The Metabolic Syndrome

W – Waist circumference. People with the metabolic syndrome typically have an increased waist circumference, due to excess abdominal fat. Abdominal obesity is defined as a waist circumference greater than 35 inches (88 cm) in women and greater than 40 inches (102 cm) in men.

A – Atherogenic dyslipidemia. This refers to an abnormal lipid profile, characterized by high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and/or borderline high risk LDL cholesterol. Fasting serum triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dL (1 mmol/L) in men and <50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) in women. Borderline high risk LDL cholesterol refers to LDL cholesterol ranging from 130 to 159mg/dL.

I – Insulin resistance. A PRE DIABETIC state. This is a condition in which the body’s cells become resistant to the effects of insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels.

S –Sugars. Refers to fasting hyperglycemia defined as a fasting plasma glucose ≥100mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) or on antidiabetic medications.

T – Tension in the vessels (HyperTension). Blood pressure greater than 130/85 mmHg or on antihypertensive medications
My goal is to be a balanced holistic voice in using plants to improve our health. I am not a fan of GLP-1 pharmaceutical receptor agonists like Ozempic and Wegovya, both synthetic pharmaceuticals with severe noted adverse effects. It is not the only solution, or a long-term solution, to managing and reversing insulin resistance, pre diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Wegovy and Ozempic, were inspired by the venom of the Gila monster lizard.

"Scientists found that a hormone in the Gila monster’s venom called exendin-4 could be used to treat type 2 diabetes. Exendin-4 is a Gila monster lizard hibernation hormone that slows digestion processes down to an almost standstill - this hormone became synthesized in the lab to become Ozempic and Wegovy. and is somewhat similar to a hormone found in humans called GLP-1, which is released after eating and 'controls' blood sugar levels in humans.

Research into extendin-4 yielded semaglutide, a derivative of the molecule but one that will stay in the body for far longer, producing the desired pharmacological effect. And that’s how Wegovy and Ozempic, which both contain semaglutide, came into being."

"Many common symptoms of Ozempic and Wegovy include, but are not limited to:

Low blood sugar which causes dizziness, sweating, headaches, blurred vision, fast heartbeat, shakiness, drowsiness, confusion, etc.

Intestinal atrophy / severe constipation

Kidney failure

Gallbladder problems

Inflamed pancreas

And most commonly: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, lethargy, mood changes

Humans experience these side effects because their bodies are not going into hibernation. In fact, some people are probably increasing their activity, their stress, and perhaps eating less when their energy needs are higher. Others are maintaining their activities of daily living which is still (way) more than hibernation. Therefore, your body is being told one thing by this hormone, but your actions are counteracting the biological response to the medication." source: https://www.bamboonutritionrd.com/blog/gila-monster-ozempic

People are forgetting we absolutely can make intentional changes, like utilizing diet, exercise, and herbs, to stimulate GLP-1 secretion and improve metabolic health. These changes take far more time, dedication, and resources (including choosing to cook and prepare your own meals at home and make time for the gym or daily physical body movement), but can be achieved for a good portion of the population. That’s where Olive leaf & Barberry Extract formula comes in — whether you’re just starting out, or want a strategy that helps you maintain your results, these natural herbals are powerful enough to make a huge difference and get you on the path to metabolic health.

Barberry/Berberine regulates the glycemic profile. Berberine has modulatory effects on GLP-1 expression and secretion. GLP-1: is a peptide, our very own built-in satiation hormone, that not only helps us silence cravings, feel full, and make better food choices. GLP-1 has a potent effect on insulin secretion, carbohydrate metabolism, and glucose levels. GLP-1 itself is a peptide hormone produced in the gut in response to food that essentially signals to us: we’re happy and satisfied.

Barberry root & Olive leaf are GLP-1 stimulating foods.

These bitter herbs contain compounds that can stimulate the secretion of GLP-1. These bitter compounds are called “bitter tastants” and they interact with receptors on the taste buds, triggering a signaling pathway that ultimately leads to the release of GLP-1.

One of the main bitter compounds found in bitter herbs is called “sesquiterpene lactones”. Studies have shown that sesquiterpene lactones can stimulate the secretion of GLP-1 by activating the bitter taste receptors on the tongue and throughout the gastrointestinal tract. When these bitter taste receptors are activated, they trigger a series of cellular and molecular responses that ultimately stimulate the release of GLP-1 from the gut cells. This effect can help to improve glucose regulation and insulin secretion in the body.

When we’re talking about using these herbs for type 2 diabetes, or pre diabetic reversal, insulin resistance and obesity — we’re not just talking about aesthetics and losing weight. We are working on reversing the damages of 'metabolic disease' through foods that promote a return to balance through the nutrition profiles they offer.

It takes about 4 to 5 weeks to reach a steady level of healthful impacts to your system. Full effects of the herbals may not be seen until at least 8+ weeks of consistant use & benefits will usually by cumulative from then on.

Using these herbals to integrate dietary improvements + physical movement such as daily walking boosts the support.
