Clinical Protocol

7-Day Amylin Optimization Plan

A nutrition strategy to optimize Amylin function, helping to slow gastric emptying, suppress glucagon, and improve satiety alongside insulin.

Protocol Objectives
Co-Secretion Balance

Amylin is co-secreted with insulin. Improving insulin sensitivity naturally improves amylin function. Avoid large carb loads.

Slow Gastric Emptying

Eat foods that naturally mimic amylin's effect of slowing digestion: soluble fibers, fats, and acids (vinegar/lemon).

Small, Frequent Meals

Unlike other protocols, amylin function can benefit from smaller, steady nutrient inputs rather than massive boluses that overwhelm receptors.

Glucagon Suppression

Amylin stops glucagon from rising after meals. Ensure meals have some protein to utilize this suppression benefit.

Day 1 Soluble Fiber
Breakfast
Oatmeal with Psyllium Husk
Extra fiber mimics amylin.
Lunch
Lentil Soup
Thick, slow digesting.
Dinner
Chicken & Okra Stew
Okra 'slime' is soluble fiber.
Day 2 Acidic Marinades
Breakfast
Eggs with Salsa
Tomatoes/vinegar add acid.
Lunch
Vinaigrette Salad with Tuna
Vinegar slows stomach emptying.
Dinner
Lemon Chicken
Citrus acid aids digestion timing.
Day 3 Healthy Fats
Breakfast
Avocado Smoothie
Fat slows sugar absorption.
Lunch
Salmon Salad
Oily fish is key.
Dinner
Steak with Butter
Satiety signaling.
Day 4 Volume Eating
Breakfast
Melon & Cottage Cheese
High water volume.
Lunch
Giant Green Salad
Physical stretch signals.
Dinner
Stir-Fry with Konjac Noodles
High volume, low energy.
Day 5 Steady State
Breakfast
Greek Yogurt & Nuts
Slow digesting casein protein.
Lunch
Turkey Chili
Protein + Fiber.
Dinner
Baked Cod & Broccoli
Simple, effective.
Day 6 Texture & Chew
Breakfast
Apple Slices & Peanut Butter
Chewing aids signaling.
Lunch
Raw Vegetable Plate & Hummus
Crunchy fibers.
Dinner
Steak Salad
Requires mechanical digestion.
Day 7 Balance
Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs & Toast
Use high fiber bread.
Lunch
Quinoa Salad
Complex carbs.
Dinner
Roast Chicken & Squash
Comforting, slow digesting.

Protocol Guidelines & Science
Chew Your Food

Mechanical digestion in the mouth is the first step in signaling satiety. Chew thoroughly to give amylin time to work.

Protein Leverage

Amylin deficiency is common in insulin resistance. Using protein to trigger satiety signals helps compensate for low amylin sensitivity.
