No results, I'm stuck and frustrated!!!! Sound familiar? 

 

We have the solution!

 This week we will be talking about issues that keep us from dropping body-fat and keeping us from our health goals. There are so many variables when it comes to reaching that ideal weight and staying there. So this weeks articles will be some of the reasons we CAN'T reach our goals and how to overcome these tough obstacles. Some of you may be shocked as to why you're not dropping body fat. In fact based on what we are about to tell you, you may soon see it's not your fault at all, in fact you've been mislead and out right lied to by the FDA and Western medicine. The simple fact is if we were all healthy the doctors and the pharmaceutical industry would go bankrupt. It's not there goal to make you healthy at all. In fact they are counting on you to follow their information to keep you in their loop and paying a kings ransom for services and medicines. The information you seek for better health is there, you just need to educate yourself and stop depending on the Feds to give you the proper info, THEY WILL NOT DO IT!!!!  

As you've all been told, "Today's foods (especially processed foods) are void of any nutrients and minerals. Fortified foods are loaded with non-absorption grade minerals and vitamins and can build up to toxic levels in our bodies. Eating whole foods and supplementing with the right nutrients is the key to better health and lower body-fat.

The foods we eat have a direct impact on our endocrine system and our immune system. If you put junk food in you can expect junk food results with your health. Fast food is making our society the most unhealthy society in the world. They have little to no nutritional value and are loaded with toxins to boot.  So if you really want to improve your health you MUST cook at home. As the week goes on we will be talking about the unhealthy chemicals and unhealthy fats the fast food industry uses and we will tell you what to replace those unhealthy choices with much healthier choices.

Many of you are on one of our custom nutrition programs and we update your status every 6-8 weeks, to help you stay focused on better health and educate you along the way. As I've made my rounds to the dealerships I'm hearing some really great success stories and that's awesome! However I'm also hearing about many of you not seeing the results you wanted. Some of you have thrown in the towel and gone back to your old habits and that will not get you where you need to be. The best way we can help each other is for you to put effort into your program and journal what's going on with you each day. Write down what you've eaten for the day and what activities you've been doing each day. Log the amount of sleep you are getting each night and how good or bad that sleep was each night. You also need to make sure you are drinking enough water every day and log you water intake as well. I know it sounds like a real pain in the behind to do all this....but it's all about helping you to stay on-track and moving in the right direction. When we come in for your next evaluations and you bring in a journal on foods, activities, sleep and water consumption we can start eliminating the reasons your not reaching you goals and it will help us determine the next step in making you healthy. Some of you may require lab work to find any signs of Metabolic Syndrome, such as Thyroid disease, Adrenal fatigue, Yeast overgrowth or a host of other issues. Hormonal imbalance can and will play a major role in your overall health too. Some issues can be a simple fix by adding the right minerals into your diet or more complex issues like bacterial balance in the digestive system. Either way we have a solution for any issue that may be causing the problem.

So communication is vital for your success. Information you can give us and lab work we can order based off of your journal can and will play a major role in your success.  So if any of you are frustrated and sick of being stuck with no successful results help us help YOU!

Tomorrow we will discuss Iodine deficiency and how it plays a major role in weight loss and Thyroid function. I can promise you the majority of us and iodine deficient. I will also so you how to self test for iodine deficiency and how to properly treat it.

Have an awesome day!

The Right Mental Attitude for Training.

The Right Mental Attitude for Training.

To get the best out of your training every time you prepare to train, make sure you have cleared your mind of all the negative.

Having a clear mind and letting go of daily stress will help you preform better in your training session.

We've all heard that stress is one of the leading causes for heart attack and stroke but many of us never really think about what else it's doing to our bodies. Just because your heart is functioning as it should does not mean you are not effected by the stress.

Stress produces cortisol and cortisol helps fat stay right where it's at and locks up fat loss. Stress also causes hypertension, and elevated blood pressure especially during resistance exercise is very dangerous.

​

Recent studies have also shown that stress reduces the production of ATP within the Mitochondria of the cells and limits your anaerobic endurance. Reduced levels of ATP will make your training session a real struggle. Cortisol also slows down the healing process and can bring on symptoms of over-training and cause disruptive sleep patterns making it even more difficult to train properly.

So when you walk into the gym make sure you take a moment and clear your head of daily stress and focus on the job at hand.

The truth be told, the stress you created is all in your head and only you can allow it to consume you or LET IT GO!

I highly recommend reading a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer entitled,
"There's a Spiritual Solution for Every Problem". This book has nothing to do with religion, it simply tells you how to let go of the stress that is effecting your life.

Remember being fit in the gym is just 1/3 of being totally fit. Remember to exercise the mind and spirit as well. You are only as strong as your weakest link.

Stress is a Choice and so is Success!

Stress is a Choice and so is Success!

Many of us hurry through life going from one place to the next, focused on conquering the next mountain, making the next deal, running the next errand, and believing we will never have enough time to do all the things we need to get done. Yet, there is all the time in the world if we just realize that we are the creators of this life we choose to live. That's right. Life is a series of choices and being free from stress is one of those choices.

Whether your business life is overly complicated or your personal life (or both), you have chosen this current system of chaos. The world is a tantalizing swirl of getting the next "fix," tempting us to fit more and more things, people and processes into our lives, personally and professionally. And because we are so busy being busy, it's easy to be lured into the fray, with our lengthy to-do lists. Yet, the greatest achievements have often come from the simplest of ideas and in the simplest forms.

To experience a simplified life, we first have to learn to slow down long enough to see through all the clutter. We need to realize that we are powerful magnets that attracted this life to ourselves—no matter what—good or bad.

1. Take the time to be YOU! Everyone needs (ME) time. If you don't take care of the ME, how can you expect anyone else to do it for you. The better you are to yourself the better you will be to others.

2. Stop setting deadlines that can not be met. Setting unrealistic goals will cause more stress and disruption in life. Learn to follow your dreams without setting a time frame around them. Stay focused on the end result regardless of the time frame it took to get there. The only way you can fail is to set an unrealistic goal, so learn to let the time structure go! Remember good things come to those who wait.

3. Turn on that positive energy! Learn to be grateful!
Create a gratitude list. Make a list of things you are grateful to have in your life. Feeling gratitude puts you in the right frame of mind and will allow you to move forward in a positive direction. Focus on the stress and that is exactly what you will get more of and that's STRESS!

4. Exercise can and will relieve STRESS.
Get into an exercise program and stick with it! Exercise is often the best medicine for getting rid of stress. Do your best to clear your head of anything else but taking care of the ME. Exercise to clear your head and rid yourself of the stress you've created.

5. You can focus on negative or you can focus on the positive the choice is 100% up to YOU! The energy you put out is the exact energy you will receive. Learn to be a positive person thankful for the blessings in your life and understand that time frames are the trigger points for stress. Rid yourself of as many time frames as you can and your stress levels will go away.

Learn to be grateful, learn to enjoy the simple things in life learn to look at life as a big learning experience and the stress in your life may very well disappear. The only time you fail at anything is when you give up! Success can and will happen every time without fail it just might not be in your time frame. So stop setting them and watch you stress vanish!

Remember you are only as strong as your weakest link. A complete person is strong of Mind, Body and Spirit.
