Living Healthful

Step up your exercise with this!!

Do you want to know how we’re taking our fitness to the next level? This is it!

We joined Orangetheory fitness in late July, and about that time we got our hands on a couple of these products. We guarantee that they are decreasing our perception of our efforts during workout and helping us with muscle and joint recovery! The chocolate flavor in the tri-release is awesome. We can’t wait to receive our pack to add the additional items.

The price point is great for existing and new members. For new members, just add a couple of e+ energy shots to hit the minimum order to use a free membership code. We have a few one-time individual codes so Contact Us and we’ll send you a free membership code to get you wholesale pricing.

First, a product to kick-starts your workout. It sustains energy and elevates intensity. It really gives what you need to decrease the perception of effort. With no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, it’s the pep talk our bodies need before tackling any fitness routine.

Second, a product to fuel muscles with key amino acids during workout. These amino acids stimulate muscle protein synthesis and fuel muscles during workout. This really ends up setting you up for post-workout repair.

Third, a product for post-workout supplementation that helps boost recovery, repair muscles, reduce soreness, and support better joint health to develop lean muscle and get you ready for your next workout. It contains turmeric, collagen peptides, and high-potency tart cherry designed to prevent that super sore feeling after an intense or new workout.

Forth, an anytime product which contains three proteins for sustained lean muscle development. By featuring three proteins that offer a fast, medium, and slow amino acid release, you will help optimize this process. Develop more lean muscle, recover quicker, and achieve the results and body shape you’re working hard for.

Macronutrients vs. Micronutrients. Are you getting what your body really needs?

Pretty much everyone understands that you need macronutrients for your body to survive. These are carbs, fats, and proteins. What people often fail to realize is that the body also needs micronutrients to survive. These are vitamins, trace minerals, antioxidants, etc. The difference is the amount of time before our body recognizes the deficiency.

If we don’t eat macronutrients we pretty quickly get hungry, light headed, fuzzy brained, etc. However if we don’t get zinc, as an example, which plays a role in healing wounds, we might not really know we have an issue for a very long time. Micronutrients play important roles is the use of the macronutrients we ingest; without them our body will not correctly build cells, fuel our brain, regulate heartbeat, etc.

The symptoms of improper choice of macronutrients are fairly obvious with weight gain and cardiovascular issues leading the way. However, the symptoms of micronutrient deficiency are far less obvious and generally take far longer to build into an issue. This is why most people who think they might have a handle on their macronutrients do not realize what is happening to them until they might see a picture of themselves from years prior and go “Wow, I’m aging!” Yes, we all age but how well we age will depend on how well we nourish our body with all essential parts of nutrition.

If you think your vitamins are providing your micronutrients, check again. Most are made from synthetic ingredients that do not deliver to the body the true natural form necessary to execute the required function in our body.

Our solution is to consume a completely macro-balanced meal replacement shake which also contains the required micronutrients, enzymes, and antioxidants to rebalance the body. The results are “results you cannot get anywhere else”. All organic, gluten-free, and without soy, with amazing flavor choices and backed by a no-compromise quality guarantee. We are sure you would see and feel results within 30 days.

All you need to know about Collagen & Trace Minerals

I saw this advertisement pop up this morning. I’ve never taken any collagen supplements but I learned a lot about it in this article.

It says that our bodies need vitamins (especially C), trace minerals, and branch-chain amino acids. I’m on it! The nutrition solution that I absolutely love has everything I need for proactively supporting my collagen. If you would like more specific information or to get started, Contact Us!

The key that I believe everyone is missing is the trace minerals that we can not get in our whole foods any longer because our soils are depleted, over use of pesticides and herbicides, and our farming techniques have changed to grow our crops larger and faster at the expense of nutrients!

Our superfoods have trace minerals that are sourced from the crust of the earth in various places that have been here since the earth is old!!! How amazing is that!!! Most people are concerned about macro nutrients only, but what is missing in their diets are the micro nutrients, specifically the trace minerals.

The BCAA balance is what I am focusing on. Too much from meat sources cause your body to be too acidic as it works to break down the meat protein to get to the amino acids. I’m balancing between meat, seafood, whey, and plant based proteins to get the BCAA’s I need and keep my body in an alkaline state.

Also included in our vitamin regimen is a an advanced combination of Vitamin C plus citrus bioflavonoids to support heart, bone, and immune system health. Three forms of vitamin plus citrus bioflavonoids for added antioxidant power. Delivers vitamin C equivalent to more than five cups of orange juice. Ultimate antioxidant protection with low acidity. Also with 23 essential vitamines in our superfoods.

This is often called a “beer belly” but it really is a “toxin belly”. Let me explain…

Good news for beer drinkers!

On this Labor Day weekend there will likely be much beer consumed and perhaps apprehension about what we’re doing to ourselves. There might even be people that tell us to ‘layoff’ the beer!

I’m not saying to not be mindful of calories or drinking to excess but that belly may be more a sign of toxicity than beer drinking.

With obesity numbers trending up around the world, scientists have been questioning if we are missing a part of the obesity equation. Recent studies are now indicating that a missing piece of the obesity puzzle are obesogens. Dietary, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemicals, termed “obesogens” alter metabolic processes and can predispose us to gain weight.

This could explain why a healthy diet, daily exercise, and quality sleep are not sufficient to budge the scale past a certain point, never reaching that goal we believe to be reasonable.

Here’s the nugget: Obesogens include a variety of chemicals with diverse mechanisms of action that result in excess fat accumulation. While water-soluble chemicals are easily metabolized and excreted by the liver, fat-soluble ones are stored in fat cells where they are protected from the body’s natural detoxification systems. When this occurs the body creates more fat cells to prepare for potentially more fat-soluble chemicals.

Although we can take steps to avoid exposure to toxic chemicals found in the environment, our homes (furniture, clothing, cleaning products), processed foods, and skin care products, let’s face it, it’s nearly impossible to avoid them so then what!

What we do at home are supported cleanses with natural botanicals that give results you can’t get anywhere else. This allows the body to naturally detox and gently eliminate impurities while infusing it with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is not a colon cleanse or laxative, but a nourishment product aimed to make your cleansing safe and effective. When these toxins are eliminated the body can then release the unnecessary fat cells that cannot ever be lost otherwise. Amazing!

Enjoy your beer this weekend! Contact us for details and to get started.

Sun does not cause skin cancer

Isn’t it interesting how the incidence of skin cancer in the 1950s was rare but rose steadily afterwards in correlation with the advent of processed foods?

I might not be a medical doctor but I do my research and my research says: “Enjoying being in the sun does not, in itself, cause skin cancer.” It is the cells in our body that are weakened by oxidative stress and thus prone to cancer. Lathering with sunscreen or avoiding being in the sun will not protect us from other cancer risks, we have to address the root cause.

Chronic oxidative stress breaks down proteins, increases basal metabolic rate, and causes huge fluctuation in hormone release over an extended period of time. These demands on the body can cause premature aging, decrease energy, store fat, and ultimately could lead to the development of chronic disease. It is also a factor in the shortening of telomeres, the end cap of our chromosomes which is known as an aging marker. Shortened telomeres is also known to have a correlation with cancer cells.

The miracle workings of adaptogens and antioxidants at fighting oxidative stress is supported by loads of evidence-based research, and now science is showing that there is another player in the game—whey protein. (also see: Tips to mitigate the effects of stress on your body)

Interestingly, one of the most astonishing findings from a recent clinical study comparing the weight-management system I use with a leading heart-healthy diet was 35 percent greater reduction in oxidative stress for the product I use. Could this be because of double the loss of visceral fat, which is a known contributor of oxidative stress, or could whey protein itself been a factor? (See: Clinical research study results)

When Life Brings You Fennel, Make Fennel Fronds Pesto!

My new favorite “made from scratch” food. ‘Fragrant Fennel Fronds Pesto’.

The garden we planted at an elderly friends is thriving, and so we have both been blessed already with the bounty of herbs and greens! Of course I can’t waste a thing..so I had to put them to use.

It’s simple and only takes about 20 minutes. Toast the walnuts over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until they start to turn golden.

Let cool.

Put everything in a blender except for 1/2 oil and

blend until smooth. Work in the remaining oil and/or a

little more oil or water to get your preferred consistency.

This can be used as a condiment, spread on bread or toast or as an appetizer, as a topper for your protein such as flank steak or chicken, or a simple pesto pasta dish!

Ingredients:

3 cups fennel fronds

1 cup roasted walnuts

1 lemon juiced

1 glove garlic

1/2 cup olive oil

Freezes up well for later use!

Dont’ do it!

Our body gives us subtle warnings when we need to adjust things. Eventually our day-to-day choices will have an impact. Don’t ignore the signs, take action!

Our body is an amazing machine but it needs the right fuel to do the job and so often people lose sight of that.

I’ve made conscious choices to fuel my body in the best way possible and when I fall because I’ve made a less than optimal choice I get back up and keep going! I feel this has helped me improve my wellbeing and feel better now than I have in years! Contact me for more info.

Fueling Body and Soul!

Many things on my life journey have changed my life, and I’m so thankful!

When I was a child, my parents took me to church and I decided to follow Jesus. That is my number one “life changer”. As an adult, busy with kids and a career, I somehow lost focus on Jesus and did things the hard way. But Jesus will never let go of his children. He gently drew me back to him in the last few years and that has given me more joy and peace than I can describe. He is by my side every single day now and guiding my path. I have learned to just try to love on people as he has loved on me! Without LOVE we are nothing and we have nothing! 1 Corinthians 13 tells us this!

Then came my health and wellness company. This has changed my life! I feel fabulous! I have always been conscientious about eating healthfully but I didn’t realize how nutrient depleted our soils and foods have become. Now that I am fueling my body with everything that it was lacking, it’s so much happier. I can feel it everyday and I can see it! And I’m thankful that the Lord brought this into my life!

Now, it’s my goal to help others change their lives too. If I can help you, teach you about Jesus (which will last for eternity) and also show you how to fuel your body optimally, (which is temporary during our time on this earth), I’m right here for you!

Why not live the best you now and forever. 😇.

This is my life! I’m happy to be here exactly in this place! Fueling my body and my soul!
