Health complaints, including stubborn weight gain are not really separate problems. They are all related and driven by a few common root causes:
- What you eat and drink
- How you think
- How much you Move, Rest, Connect
- How toxic you are

Free Your Body of Pollutants
- The pollutants in our environment continue to grow at an alarming rate. We need to be aware of these and minimise our exposure. To a large extent we have little control over many of these, so we can’t eliminate them entirely
- But there are some pollutants we have more control over because we can choose whether to consume them or not
- Sugar for example has now been scientifically proven to be more powerfully addictive than alcohol, cocaine and even heroin. Artificial sweeteners may be more powerfully addictive still.
You Can Break Your Self-Destructive Food Habits!
- Addictive foods are the root cause of why so many are overweight and sick
- Food scientists focus on creating foods that maximally trigger the” bliss point” that addictive “feel good” pathway that keeps you coming back for more.
- We need to detoxify in order to break the cycle of very real food addictions
Feed Your Body Nourishing Real Foods
- The key to that process is to stop the addictive foods substances we take in all at once and at the same time replace them with specific hormone-balancing, brain healing foods, lifestyle habits and supplement containing key nutrients to further enhance our bodies capacity to detoxify
- Changing the way we think about food so that we get our minds working with our bodies not against them is critical to weight loss and healing
- We need to understand that:
- Not all calories are created equal
- You can fight genetics
- You can’t use will power to control cravings
- You can’t be healthy if you are still overweight
Exercise + Real Food = A New Energised You!
- Exercise alone is not the key to lose weight; exercise is critical to your detoxification efforts, but not for the reasons you think. Here is why exercise helps and why we need it
- It makes your cells more sensitive to insulin. So you don’t need as much, and less insulin= less belly fat
- It lowers your stress hormone Cortisol. Too much Cortisol = insulin resistance = more belly fat
- If you interval train (going fast then slow as in wind sprints) you speed up your metabolism and burn more calories all day long and even while you sleep
- Strength training builds muscle and muscle burns seven times more calories from fat stores than typical steady-as-she-goes cardio workouts do.
- Even if you are slim strength training prevents “ skinny fat” syndrome
- Exercise improves memory, learning and concentration
- Vigorous exercise is a better antidepressant than Prozac
- Exercise protects your heart
- It reduces inflammation the root cause of every disease of aging
- It boosts detoxification of environmental chemicals
- It supports hormonal balance and reduces the risk of breast and other common cancers
- Exercise improves sexual function
It’s Never The ‘Right’ Time To Lose Weight – It’s Always The ‘Right’ Time!
- You don’t have to be “ready” to succeed at weight loss
- Small changes in lifestyle may not reward you with the weight loss you are seeking
- Rapid weight loss does not have to result in rebound weight gain, if done correctly.
