TOP FOUR HEALTH CONCERNS

Over the years in my private practice and especially having the

customer contact in my Boutique Health Store, I have determined

that the top four health concerns today are:

Blood Sugar Issues are epidemic! The average person consumes their

body weight in sugar annually. This has created a cascade of

symptoms from insulin resistance to weight gain. Secondary

symptoms include cardiovascular problems, metabolic syndrome,

nerve, kidney and vision problems. The medication most people are on

to treat both the primary and secondary conditions do nothing to improve
them but just maintain. Addressing the problem is what most people are

desperate to find out how to do. You address the primary insulin

resistance and the secondary symptoms disappear. I have created a

number of products to help achieve this goal.

Cholesterol is the next big concern. Most people do not realize that

a cholesterol problem is a liver problem. The liver performs 500

different jobs in the body daily. It is the filter that everything you ingest

has to go through in order to get into the body, this is called the first pass

in the body. Most people, based on the thousands of blood work results

I have reviewed have a liver functioning capacity somewhere between

50 and 70 percent. When the liver cannot perform all of its tasks on a

daily basis the first one to go is the hardest, lipid metabolism or processing

of dietary fats. Now the liver dumps them back into the blood stream and

we begin to see the elevated LDL (bad cholesterol) and Triglycerides

(dietary fats floating in the bloodstream). Medicating with statins lowers

LDL but at the cost of further damage to the liver and weakening the heart

in the process. You can support the liver with its unique nutrient needs to help
restore function and use natural lipid lowering agents to address the symptoms.

Stress related weight gain and adrenal exhaust is definitely number three.

Years of running on adrenaline from our busy lives leads to a constant

flow of Cortisol, adrenaline's partner in crime. When we should be having

3-4 cortisol releases a day, I would say 50% of the people I see are having

20. This leads to elevated cortisol levels which now exert control over the

body’s ability to function. Instead of converting fuel to energy everything

is now stored as fat, waist lines get bigger. It lowers serotonin in the brain

the largest brain chemical in volume so now we are not as sharp, we don’t

sleep properly and require more adrenaline to get us through the day.

Its a vicious circle that ultimately leaves us looking like raccoons with the dark

circle under the eyes and no energy, libido or joy. There are a few simple

steps that can reverse this process very rapidly and give you your feeling of

well being back.

Joint Pain and Arthritic Conditions are fourth place for the most common

complaints. The average person looses three inches by the time they are 80

years old. Bones do not shrink, it is the loss of soft tissue between the joints

that creates this painful, debilitating condition. It does not have to be this

way. Soft tissue is the third fastest replicating cell in the body. The body loves

to build the Mucopolysaccharides and Chondroitins that form the soft tissue.

To do this the body requires Glucosamine Sulphate and MSM, the sulfur molecule

needed to activate it. Take these and the body starts building soft tissue.

There are a number other players that also contribute to joint integrity

but it starts with having the cushioning between the joints.
