How To Heal Your Gut

How Does Your Gut Look?

For countless people, indigestion runs rampant and can have hidden gut damage. You can start healing your gut by eating healthier and taking the right supplements.

IgGI Shield from Designs for Health are one of those Supplements.

IgGI Shield has 2 primary healers of the Gut. Immuno-Lin and N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG).

Some potential benefits of ImmunoLin may include:

1. Boosting immune system function: The immune-supportive substances in ImmunoLin may help improve the function of the immune system by enhancing the body's natural defenses against infection and disease.

2. Reducing the risk of infections: By improving immune system function, ImmunoLin may help reduce the risk of bacterial, viral, and other types of infections.

3. Supporting gut health: Some of the proteins in ImmunoLin, such as lactoferrin, may help promote healthy gut bacteria and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.

4. Promoting recovery after illness: ImmunoLin may help speed up recovery after illness by supporting the immune system and reducing inflammation.

5. Supporting overall health: A healthy immune system is essential for overall health and well-being, and by supporting immune system function, ImmunoLin may help promote overall health and vitality.

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a natural compound that is chemically similar to glucose. It is a type of amino sugar that is found in the shells of crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp, as well as in the cell walls of fungi and certain bacteria.

NAG is commonly used as a dietary supplement and is believed to have a range of potential health benefits, including:

1. Supporting joint health: NAG is a precursor to hyaluronic acid and other glycosaminoglycans that are found in joint cartilage. Taking NAG supplements may help support joint health and reduce joint pain and stiffness.

2. Promoting gut health: NAG may help support gut health by protecting the lining of the digestive tract and promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

3. Boosting immune system function: NAG has been shown to stimulate the production of immune cells and enhance the function of white blood cells, which may help improve immune system function.

4. Supporting skin health: NAG is a precursor to glycosaminoglycans that are found in the skin. Taking NAG supplements may help promote skin health and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

5. Reducing inflammation: NAG has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body and improve overall health.

As with any supplement, it's important to talk to your doctor before taking NAG, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication.

Not All Supplements Are Created Equal

There are 100's of products that people ask me about. I can't vouch for the quality of any other product except for the ones I have vetted.   Lower quality = lower results and potential  harm.    I stick to the brands I use because of quality, reduced toxicity and the resulting effectiveness on your health.   Feel free however to research quality on your own if you choose your own products: As long as they are the same quality and ingredients then you can use them but I can only coach you on the ones from our clinic because I don't have time to research other products.

Fibroids

Fibroids are actually not fibrous at all but actually growths of smooth muscle and connective tissue. They're usually found on the walls of the uterus. They are not cancerous and usually harmless. They generally occur more in the African or Caribbean descent.

What are symptoms associated with fibroids?

Many don't have symptoms at all and they are found on a routine exam or ultrasound.

However when they do have symptoms, it can cause:

·      Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, bleeding in between periods. as a result anemia can develop. Important note: if you need to change your pads more than once per hour, please see a health specialist.

·      Pain during intercourse

·      Swelling and or pain in the lower abdomen can occur as well as frequent urge to urinate, back pain.

·      Constipation can happen as well.

Root causes

·      Estrogen dominance which basically is an imbalance of estrogen vs. Progesterone, this can be caused from many factors including-- environmental estrogens or xenoestrogens which is rampant in our environment. Chemicals herbicides pesticides Etc., are the Usual Suspects in this arena

·      Obesity

·      Hypothyroid

·      Peri-menopause

·      Diet

·      Hereditary and age and race

·      High blood pressure

·      Early menstruation

·      Oral contraceptives what other birth control methods

Testing

Blood, urine, heavy metal testing, stool testing, are common ways to determine the root causes of fibroids.

Treatment options

Testing is critical to finding the root causes, there are many treatment options including

Changing diet, avoiding certain foods, detoxification, homeopathy, PEMF (Pulsed electromagnetic Fields) acupressure all factor in to reaching your health goals with fibroids. Finding the right tailored program for you is ideal for reaching your goals.

Foundational Steps towards Wellness

I can't overemphasize how important simple habits are to your sanity not to mention your health

I say these things to my patients very, very often because I want to ingrain it in their heads. I’ll say it again because it’s so important: I can’t overemphasize doing the things below to aid your healing journey. Many come in desperate in pain, with cancer or other disease, like allergies or autoimmune issues. How they got to my office is a story of deprivation often missing one or more components below. Your body will be operating at a deficit if you don’t do these things. Southern California is fast paced, full of demands and stress that will eat your health up unless you are intentional about being healthy. What are the simple, nuts and bolts daily activities to keep you energetic and vibrant?

Your daily energy to live comes from stored energy in the body. My whole goal with treatment is to charge up cells that are weak. Did you know that cancer cells have the lowest charge? Stress, nutritional deficiencies, Injuries, lack of sun, dehydration, lack of sleep, etc are dis-chargers. You are charged up after a treatment which normalizes body energy and therefore cleansing and nutrient absorption capabilities. What are the practical everyday healthy tools? For you, one thing may be more important than others especially if you're not getting one of these items regularly. So focus on those items that you need to work on the most.

S’s for Successful Health

1. Sleep and rest at least seven to eight hours, preferably 8. If you don’t rest your don’t heal! I ask every one of my patients how they are sleeping and address the cause of their lack of sleep from the start.

2. Shift away from Electro smog. This is most common cause of sleep issues. In our modern culture, we are so over exposed to electrical smog from Wi-Fi, cell phone, cordless phones Etc, that some authorities call it the greatest health threat of our day. It is critical that you ground yourself to the natural PEMF- pulse electromagnetic frequency of the earth. Go out in the sun. Walk Barefoot on the grass or sand. Touch a tree. Get PEMF at our office. Get your home remediated. Implement things to do now to reduce electro smog on your body.

3. Supply and Stay Nourished & get Support from at least 1 other person that builds you up, particularly with regard to healthy eating. If they tend towards discouraging you, they may not be the best accountability partner. If necessary get, professional accountability at first if you are at your wits end. I encourage that if you have been diagnosed or or suspect cancer, heart disease, chronic pain or Autoimmune issues. Supplementation with high quality, non toxic supplements will probably be necessary. We use a Science based approach to measure what you need for vitamins, herbs, etc…

4. Sift/Cleanse with pure water. Poorly filtered refrigerated water or God forbid, tap water is Nasty! If you knew what was in tap water, you would cringe. Drink 1/2 your body weight in oz. 96 oz maximum. More water if you are sweating a lot. I prefer Berkey water or Reverse Osmosis not only for effectiveness in purifying water but for cost savings as well.

5. Sensitize yourself to your Body’s needs. Listen to your body get power naps if necessary. Fight Stress with quiet times and stress reduction techniques. Deep breathing or walks or…?

6. Steps towards body movement are critical for not only oxygenation but also for rejuvenating and refreshing your body. It’s great to help maintain your bodies youthfulness. If time is your greatest hindrance, here is a great 4 min exercise to multiply your workouts.
   

Additional:

6. Sanitize and support your body with Apple Cider vinegar and other fermented foods daily. Fermented food are powerful for your Gut community. Earth tooth paste is not only great for infections and pain on your on all areas of discomfort as well as scar tissue till it drys, the thicker the paste the more the detox. Please avoid sensitive areas like eyes.

7. Sanitize with Epsom salt bath for 30 minutes, full body if you can, but at least the hands and feet for 30 minutes each, I like using Magnagel which is Epson salt (magnesium) in a bottle. We are a culture depleted in our Magnesium do to poor agricultural methods and eating habits.

Is the Flu Vaccine Right for You?

Watch this short video and find out. I have witnessed my own immune system, my family and my patients ability to fight the flu turn around with scientific analysis of “why” your immune system is weak. No, I don’t feel it’s because you are too young or too old that you can’t fight the flu on your own. Would you not rather get to the cause of your immune system weakness? That way you can not only fight off the flu but cancer, auto-immune dis-ease, allergies and all other infections as well. I used to be miserable from allergies and coughing my brains out, green phlegm and “sick and tired” of being “sick and tired”. With patience, diligence and persistence, I let natural remedies, through Science based testing, help me get better. I am so grateful! I am a different person now with a much more robust health! Thank you God!

Optimize Your Health! Hope for Serious and Unusual health problems- PEMF

Do You Need a Stronger PEMF Treatment?

Benefits of Getting Treatment At a Clinic:

This system is commonly used by practitioners for its ability to target deep tissue, provide rapid pain relief, and promote recovery from injuries.

Both the HOLOS and Dr. Paul’s Pulse XL PRO may work best when used together. HOLOS treats organ meridians on the skin, indirectly affecting deeper organs, while the XL PRO directly targets the organs. Voltage boosts the body's healing energy, similar to how a charged battery powers a device. However, HOLOS doesn't directly increase Voltage. Click button below and See page 3 and 4 for MORE INFO:

How Tony

uses

Pulse

Center’s

“I’ve since bought at least a dozen PEMF machines, including an upgraded one from a company called Pulse Centers in Georgia. These machines are a godsend in terms of pain relief and healing. But I also use them for entirely different reasons: These machines boost my energy and concentration levels and improve my sleep”

— Tony Robbins

PEMF therapy boosts the bioelectrical potential in your body, referring to the measurable and ever-present electrical charge or voltage of the body throughout life.

This bioelectrical charge vanishes upon death, suggesting it could be akin to a physical manifestation of life force.

Tony notes, “We lose some of this charge as we age,” highlighting PEMF's ability to restore our bodies to optimal energy levels, though the specifics of this process are not deeply detailed by Tony. It is, however, straightforward to explain.

The core mechanism of PEMF involves pulsing an electromagnetic field over a conductor, inducing an electrical current by a basic physical law also employed in electricity generation.

In PEMF therapy, the body acts as the conductor. This creates microcurrents that boost the cellular voltage, akin to how a fully charged battery enables efficient operation. As Tony Robbins mentions, PEMF effectively increases the body's energy.

According to Dr. Jerry Tennant in ‘Healing is Voltage,’ children have a higher cellular voltage of approximately -35 millivolts, about 25% higher than adults' -25 millivolts. Higher energy is necessary for growth, compared to maintenance in adults. Dr. Tennant also links low voltage with chronic diseases and injuries, noting a decline in voltage with age.

Tony Robbins summarizes the benefits of PEMF as enhancing energy, concentration, and sleep quality in his book, ‘Life Force.’

As a certified PEMF practitioner with five years of experience and thousands of treatments, I've observed firsthand how PEMF boosts energy among other benefits like reducing pain, inflammation, and improving sleep.

PEMF charges even the bone marrow, targeting either the overall low body voltage or specific problem areas. Consistent treatment over time provides significant benefits, as I have personally experienced.

Western medicine now recognizes each cell's electrical charge as crucial for natural physiological functions and self-healing. Any deviations in cellular voltage can disrupt health and potentially lead to disease.

Dr. Richard Nuccitelli’s invention, the Dermacorder, in 2012 enables monitoring of injury currents, showing that current strength at an injury site spikes initially then decreases as healing progresses, and is undetectable when healing is complete. Interestingly, he noted that the initial current strength decreases with age.

“A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”

— Benjamin Franklin

This has spurred interest in methods to enhance the body's natural electrical potential to potentially improve wound healing and correct other biological imbalances.

PEMF has been shown to not only increase cellular voltage but also enhance bioelectrical cellular communication, which Tony Robbins’ ‘Life Force’ links to aging research. Poor cellular communication might also play a role in major diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Pulse XL Pro is in the top of its class in U.S. PEMF TECHNOLOGY.  Its one of the Most powerful devices in the U.S.  Pulsecenter Calls it “Cellular Exercise” and Makes no Claims to treat any disease but in general, PEMF therapy is FDA approved in the U.S. for treating certain brain cancers, depression, anxiety, non-healing bone fractures, and incontinence, showcasing its wide-reaching potential and effectiveness.

After thousands of hours using PEMF personally and on my patients, I’d strongly advocate for anyone to invest in this therapy for continual, daily use—echoing Tony Robbins’ practice.

We all know we need to move. Sitting is one of the worst things we can do except when resting. If you are like me, I will find ways to procrastinate exercise, I’ll make up excuses; “I’m too busy” “I don’t feel like it” “Takes too much time”. Well now I don’t have any excuses, I love this 4 minute exercise routine to help keep me young. I hope you do too!

7 Top Guideposts to Get Your Health Back

Today I'm going to talk about the 7 top things that you can do to monitor scientifically your health and stack the favor in your odds for enjoying health now and in the future.

Why Am I Taking Supplements if I Don't Feel Any Different?

Do you know if your supplements are helping you or not when you don't feel any different? Some patients are at the brink of death, have cancer or other disease when they are referred to my office and I'm so grateful when profound change happens naturally.   One medical doctor said to my patient "It's a miracle that you're still alive". Within 4 weeks, his quality of life increased dramatically because of simple changes I started to implement with him.  These were simple strategies that allowed his body to heal on its own. But what if you don’t have many symptoms?  I applaud you if you are living preventatively! If you are not being proactive,  I wanted to encourage you so that you can save yourself a lot of money in the long run.  Did you know that health issues are the number one cause of money bankruptcy (BK)?  It can ominously pervade into every pore of your life causing relationship and emotional BK as well.

 “Did you know that your liver and your pancreas have to fail about 90% before you have symptoms? “

If you are like me, my temptation is too procrastinate about my health. Why?  Because I feel "fine".  Did you know that your liver and your pancreas have to fail about 90% before you have symptoms? Have you heard or know of anyone suddenly dying or being diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer? One 48 year old women was diagnosed with 8-10 years to live even with chemo and radiation.  She educated herself and elected to take the “Science based Nutrition” approach. 12 years later, she is living vibrantly with complete cancer remission without chemo, radiation or surgery.

I would say that at least 90% of my patients are shocked with the amount of pills that I take, it's not a random thing that I do and I don't search the internet for which supplements I need to take, I use a science-based approach, analyzing blood, urine and hair to see what nutrients I need. So what do I feel when I take all the supplements? Sometimes nothing.  But then I reap results over time.  It's like if you plant a seed, does it become mature over night? No! It takes time for that plant, fruit or vegetable to grow into something beautiful that you can enjoy. Yes, if you have symptoms, you usually start feeling better if you persist! It could just be 2 weeks for some and months for some if they have severe imbalances

What is the difference between a medical approach vs a more comprehensive approach to health? 

If you take a look at the a medical approach to solving a disease, they say that these drugs treat the disease whether it would be cancer, heart disease or whatever, but does it really cure it? Before I did this work, my mom thought she had remission from breast cancer.   Remission, in the medical definition is no evidence of disease.  Classically, someone is in 100% remission if the disease does not come back in 5 years.   Well, my mom died 4 years after they said she was cured of the cancer.  It spread throughout her body and I watched her die in front of me from the cancer. I’m really sad I did not know how to help her get healthy back then. 

When I take a comprehensive approach, it’s not to treat a disease.  It’s to stack the favor in my odds by getting healthy. Questions I usually pose to my patients:

Q. Can you be healthy and have disease at the same time?

Q. Can you have cancer destroying your body and be healthy at the same time?

That doesn't make sense does it? I believe a healthy body fights cancer well! We've seen stage 4 cancer turn around by helping people get healthier.

“The reductionist approach is the “standard of care” in the medical field”

As an example of the reductionist philosophy, you go to your medical doctor for a symptom.  The doctor tells you need this drug. You swallow it and it gives you an immediate effect. The reductionist mindset only thinks about reducing the symptoms rather than address the cause of the symptoms.  Drugs have immediate profound effects to force your body to do something but also have collateral damage on your body. Every drug has negative side effects. So while I think its okay to take it for an acute emergency situation, I believe it's the wrong approach to dealing with a chronic health issue. Please make sure to analyze the cost/benefit ratio when deciding on any treatment. The reductionist approach is the “standard of care” in the medical field.

On the other hand, taking a “comprehensive” view of your body is much different then the “reductionist” approach.  Analyzing all the aspects that contribute to health are essential to tipping the odds of health to your side.  This involves factors like diet, lifestyle, environmental and even emotional well being.  It strives to balance your body with the goal of not only minimizing symptoms but preventing disease.

There is a barrage of information on the internet and it can be confusing.  I love using a simple, evidence based approach by looking deeper for causes that show up much sooner in blood, hair and urine analysis (ex for toxic heavy metals).  Once we know the root issues, we guide you through a comprehensive plan to get you healthy, and then retest periodically to check for progress.  This process has worked with hundreds of doctors who have helped thousands of patients over 30 years.  Confusion is eliminated.

“Remember, growing a beautiful flower, tree or healthy body for that matter takes time.  Persistence, discipline and following my recommendations will reap its rewards over your seasons of life”

Please don’t Procrastinate

I hope that you don’t have to go to a funeral or suffer unnecessarily with a disease to start getting healthy now.  I'm here to give you perspective. I see patients every day that gives me perspective everyday. This helps me to stay motivated and on track. I've also suffered with prior health issues that make me motivated as well. What's going to make you motivated? Is my coaching enough? You are ultimately the one that decides and I believe it starts with education. I have many articles on drkwik.com/blog to help you get started. Did you know that most of the people that follow a comprehensive approach are more educated? This is kind of dramatic but I think it brings home the point.  When I’m old, I don't want to have Alzheimer’s and forget my children or have them change my diapers while I’m drooling on my bed. I want to be active and alive, enjoying my kids and grandkids.  Is that possible? I believe it is.

Are You Willing to Do What it Takes to Beat Diabetes and Obesity?

Diabetes is a growing epidemic problem. In 2016 a recent study showed that our life expectancy is actually declining in the United States. Heart disease was number one cause of mortality, cancer was the number two cause and they determined through this study that diabetes is the number 3 cause. It's startling that the American diabetic Association says one out of every two Americans is either pre-diabetic or has diabetes. You can do something about it! Start by learning! Start by being frustrated enough that you're willing to create a new chapter in your life! Watch these videos below to learn more.

Top Six Things Contributing to Constipation

There are many things that can contribute to constipation. It can be miserable especially if you have a history of it.

The most important thing is figuring out what is causing the problem. There are multiple causes but I have found through clinical experience the top things below. Here are simple starting steps so you can flow and not be backed up:

1. Are you drinking enough water? Water is essential ingredient to life and makes up most of your body. So if you're not consuming proper amounts of water then you need to to do that. It has a serious effect on major health issues in the body. One patient called me and said she was feeling lousy. She was on my tailored Nutrition program to cleanse her body. I asked her if she was drinking enough water. She said no. Her symptoms cleared up once she hydrated herself. You want to drink up to 96 ounces per day depending on your body weight. I recommend drinking a quart of water for every 50 lb of body weight. 

2. Are you having 4 cups of Vegetables measured raw per day? Here is a link to measuring vegies so you know how much you are having:

3. Fill in the blank, 2 of the most common nutrients lacking in our diet are: _______________________

Answer: Magnesium and Vitamin C. I have found these nutrients helpful for overall health and bowel movements. The Magnesium Citrate version is best for constipation. Start with dosage on the back and increase 1 serving daily till bowel tolerance (soft stools/diarrhea), then back up to the prior dosage. Do this for both supplements. Quality brands are essential for this. We use Designs for health, Stellar C and MagCitrate Powder.

4. Are you Stressed on the toilet? If you are you won’t go. Stress = Bowel Constriction, Relaxation = Bowel opening up. Its like a kinking a water hose when you are stressed. Counteract stress with the following:

• Deep breathing

• Gargling with no liquid in your mouth. This stimulates the relaxation nerve (Vagus nerve) to relax your body. It is wierd but it works!

• Side note: Sometimes putting a small stool underneath your feet can reposition your tailbone for easier elimination.

5. Environmental Toxins https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2551954.

• My observation is that every patient that has walked in for my Nutritional Consult has had too much heavy metals in their body. This can cause constipation. See ncbi reference above and do your own research as well. Toxic exposure is only getting worse as time goes on. Heavy metals, antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides, other pharmaceuticals & even radioactive uranium are in the water we drink and the food we eat. Please make sure that the water is purified either through a reverse osmosis or Berkey filtration system. If you are using bottled water, I recommend using Aquafina or Dasani water because I know that those are filtered with reverse osmosis. You can check other types of water by calling the company and asking if they use reverse osmosis. Personally, I use the Berkey filtration system which is 2 cents a gallon for the main filters and six cents a gallon for the fluoride/arsenic filters. I believe its the most effective at toxin removal while being the most cost-effective. Additionally, reverse osmosis takes away all the essential nutrients while the Berkey retains those. Minerals are in the same “family” as heavy metals, they all talk to each other and help “transport” heavy metals out of your body. Just search it up online and you'll see how critical minerals are for thousands of chemical reactions in your body as well.

• Antibiotics in water and food. What is the most abundant in your body? Can you count to 37 trillion? That is how many body cells you have. What outnumbers the cells in your body? Can you count to 100 trillion? That is how many good bacteria are in your body. Your Digestive system hosts a majority of them. Antibiotics kill them! It's in food and water and can have residual effects today even though you had them many years prior! What does the good bacteria family do?

• Helps with Depression by producing seritonin, the feel good chemical (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4393509/).

• Helps with constipation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951383/).

• Host of other things as well.

The Bottom line; Filter your water, buy organic fruits and vegetables. Buy properly fed & treated animals which have been allowed to graze. If tight on budget, wash your fruits and vegetables with a cleanser as well as eat hormone and antibiotic free animal food sources.

6. Body Work

• Body work would involve movement of the body at home and sometimes getting professional help, if needed. The body works by communication just like human beings need to communicate. Your body communicates through the brain and sends signals to the rest of the body to tell it what it should do and the body responds by telling a signal back to the brain using a feedback mechanism. Your vital organs communicate automatically through the autonomic nervous system which controls your stress and relaxation systems but it works through the conscious mind when your lifting something using muscles. Both of those require communication.

• There's another set of communication pathways that happens on the skin surface called meridians (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25206574) . Acupressure without needles, which we do at our office, are ways to unblock short circuits of these communication pathways. I liken it to an orchestra singing a beautiful song and all the players are in perfect tune and harmony. These short circuits on the surface of the skin (meridians) or blockages of the actual nervous system (brain/spinal cord/nerves) can be helped with home treatment or if necessary, chiropractic care, or acupressure. This movement, song or dance, if you will, of your body through the nerves of the body and the meridians can be short circuited and cause your colon to be constipated.

  Testimony:

  One of my most recent patients was referred to by another patient. He was pretty much at death's door. After starting with me, the doctors said it was a miracle that he was still alive. He had been admitted to the hospital for a ruptured aortic aneurysm. He was in a coma for one month and by the time he got here he was at 30% heart function, severely constipated and on narcotic drugs for pain, he wasn't getting any sleep, he had lost 30 lbs, and diagnosed with cancer and liver failure. To say the least, his life was miserable!

  We did the foundational lab tests on him, analyzed what he needed from the lab tests and started creating a new story for him! After he started my program, here is what happened in 1 month:

• Heart function improved from 30% to 50%

• Gained 20 lbs

• Pain gone

• Constipation gone

• Thankful to me because he was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas

• Sleep improved 20%

  Not everybody is is at death's door when they come in. I'm hoping that you'll talk to me much sooner than that! It'll be easier for me and especially for you so that you don’t needlessly suffer.
  
  So those are the top things associated with constipation I hope you got benefit from this.
  

Diabetes and Obesity Busting Yummy Smoothies.

We all live crazy, hectic lifestyles, and I always encourage to take some time to plan so that you can be more productive. But part of that planning involves some alone time.  I think this is foundational to life. Especially in busy Southern California. So how do you eat on a busy lifestyle? Recently, we have just re-done our kitchen and moved a washer and dryer to the garage and it's been crazy. One project after another with a non-functional kitchen, our master bedroom was leaking so we have to sleep in the next bedroom so there's a project there. So we all know what it feels like to be busy. So how do I eat when I'm busy and still beat things like diabetes and cancer. My famous saying:

“We spend all our life building wealth and then at the end of our life we lose our wealth due to lack of Health”

One of the tactics that I use when I'm busy is I have a nice high powered blender like Vitamix or Blendtec. I make a smoothie for breakfast and lunch. For those of you that like to chew, you will have to be a bit more imaginative. Chew your smoothies! This helps stimulate digestive juices. I mix these ingredients into a shake and it takes me less than 10 minutes including cleanup.

Weight Busting, Muscle maintaining, Yummy Chocolate Creamy Smoothie

 See List of ingredients at end:
Organic Costco Spinach Filled to the top of blender with spinach.

Liquid - 3 to 4 cups, it could be pure filtered water with reverse osmosis or a Berkey filter, or unsweetened almond, coconut or cashew nut milk. If you are the Ideal Protein program, use water.

A healthy protein powder that has a complete eight amino acid profile which rebuilds muscle. Because if you're trying to lose weight you will lose muscle and you need a complete protein to rebuild that muscle. Otherwise, at the end of the program you will lose muscle pounds and therefore your metabolism will slow down—>  yo yo dieting.

I called a company that sold protein foods and had a few questions for them, they answered all my questions except the last one, does your protein have the full 8 amino acids in it….still waiting for a response…close to year waiting. Please don’t use cheap quality protein where your muscles can deteriorate.

I use Pure paleo protein Chocolate or Vanilla powder that is from bone broth extract of organic grass-fed New Zealand grass fed beef which tastes great in vanilla or chocolate.

You can also use Ideal Protein packets for extra flavor. But I want you to limit the amount of Splenda that you use. 

So now we've got the vegetables and the protein covered now you need the carbs covered if you're not trying to lose weight. You can add frozen organic blueberries, frozen organic strawberries, or other low glycemic fruits to your liking.  Google low glycemic foods and see what is best.  These foods have minimal havoc on your blood sugar levels. That's the carbs.

Now you have to add the good healthy fats and I think this is where most people fall short. Because they're scared of fat. If you take a look at all the ketogenic diets out there, there's a lot of research to back up healthy ketogenic diets for many diseases including epilepsy, seizures, Alzheimer's, and cancer. If you are on the Ideal protein program, fats are limited to 2 tsp a day of oil or 9 grams of fat daily.

I find our society falls short in the use of the oils. Either they fry vegetable oils that are not meant to be fried like vegetable oil or eat processed foods or they do home cooking with it. Anything that's in clear containers in the market with vegetable oil is already oxidized due to light and the way they process that oil with heat —> oxidizes oil (like rust to metal) and damages your arteries —> heart attacks, strokes, embolisms

I use “cold processed”, ultra high quality oils like Mixed Efas (anti-inflammatory) that tastes great and makes a creamy consistency.  Additionally, I only cook with oils and have high “smoke” points like, butter, ghee, tallow, duck fat, and coconut oil. Basically, almost all animal fats.  As long as you don’t combine a meal with high fats and high carbs you won’t get fat and get all the diseases of modern culture. Think of foods that plug up your arteries like donuts, french fries, pasta loaded with oil etc. Those are “artery clogging bombs”

Summary of anti-Stroke and Heart Attack smoothie

 *Strong blender like Vita-mix or Blendtec

 1. Spinach (organic from Costco) (fill to top of blender)

2. 2 to 4 cups liquid (water etc… see above). 2 cups per meal. 4 cups if making Breakfast and Lunch.

3. High quality, 8 amino acid, GMO free, organic, antibiotic free protein (20 grams/scoop). Ex. Pure paleo protein Chocolate or Vanilla powder $2.93/serving. I like chocolate better with the spinach. 1 scoop is 1 meal. Use 2 if preparing both Breakfast and Lunch

4. High quality oil (1 tbl).  Ex Mixed Efas, ($1.56 per serving) coconut oil (if you like the taste), even Kerry gold butter.  Avocados ($1.53/per small avocado at Costco -1/2 to 1, Use more oil if you are hungry before lunch time.

5. Enjoy!

The Top Two Things That I Do To Stay Healthy

Everything in life seems to be pushing you downward in terms of health. Our environment, our friends, family are eating junk foods and are pressuring us to eat junk foods regularly. Hopefully you have good support at home and work where there's one person that's encouraging you to eat healthy and take your supplements. Here's how I do it.
