A common complaint: Feel Lethargic,Mood Swings,Uncontrolled blood sugar levels

Gain a bit of weight, feel lethargic and have trouble sleeping.

Another name that you are probably familiar with after reading my blogs is Brigitte Mars. She is the author of Love, Sex & Health and in an interview that I had with her last year she shares some of her thoughts on how we should use food, our minds and our hearts to ensure our sexual vitality. Many of us have experienced the changes in our sexual desire and function as we age.

Some of the changes can be great and some of them can be a little less than great. I loved this interview that I had with Brigitte. I learned so much and couldn’t wait to share some important points that came out of it. Brigitte is also one of my favorite herbalist authors to date!

Nancy: A common complaint I hear from women is that they gain a bit of weight, feel lethargic and have trouble sleeping. They suffer mood swings because of uncontrolled blood sugar levels and if that's not bad enough, their sexual vitality flies out the window. Since most of our problems can be traced to the foods we eat, what  Super Foods would you recommend to change all that? READ MORE

Menopausal Weight Gain

Fat stores estrogen. The more weight you gain, the more estrogen you will retain.

Understanding the Role of Estrogen in the Body:

Estrogen dominance is a term coined by Dr. Lee in his first book on natural progesterone. It describes a condition in which a woman can have deficient, normal or excessive amounts of estrogen, but little or no progesterone to balance its effects in the body. Even a woman with low estrogen levels can have estrogen dominance symptoms if she doesn't have any progesterone.

Here are a few things to remember about estrogen dominance:

• Fat stores estrogen. The more weight you gain, the more estrogen you will retain.
• Stress — that word we’re all too familiar with — produces cortisol, boosting estrogen levels and contributing to weight gain.
• A toxic liver won’t filter estrogen from the body
• So many of the foods we eat are fed estrogen to make them grow and produce more food. Eating meat and dairy products that have been fed estrogen will increase your own estrogen levels.
• Plastic containers, pesticides and cleaning chemicals produce "xeno-estrogens", which are chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body.

So, what can we do about it? Read More

Interview with Raymond Francis Never Be Fat Again

Interview with Raymond Francis

REPLAY WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE MEMBERS AREA (MARCH 2009)

Fight Fat at Its True Source... Your Cells. An M.I.T.-Trained Scientist explains the ONE Secret You Need to Know to Lose Weight and Keep It Off.

Your will learn:
Which low-fat and no-fat products actually make you fatter.
How one missing nutrient can signal your body to store fat.
Which food additives are most toxic--and how to spot them on a label.
The 'Big 4' worst foods to eat--with delicious and nutritious alternatives
How to sneak more fiber- and nutrient-rich foods into your day. 

Raymond Francis is the scientist people turn to when diets don't work. His groundbreaking approach treats excess weight for what it really is--a disease caused by malfunctioning cells. As Francis explains, many of the foods we eat every day, especially the 'health' and 'diet' ones we dutifully buy to lose weight, have the opposite effect. Full of hidden toxins and lacking nutrients, they actually poison your cells and alter your weight-control genes, causing your body to put on the pounds.

Never Be Fat Again

Never Be Fat Again has been called the “first diet book worth reading.” What makes it so different?

What makes Never Be Fat Again fundamentally different is that, unlike most weight-loss books, it actually promotes permanent weight loss. It is an established fact that weight-loss diets don’t work. This is because most weight-loss books are scientifically and nutritionally unsound, and many are so unsound, they are dangerous.

This book provides a revolutionary understanding of overweight.  Never Be Fat Again identifies overweight as a serious chronic disease—a disease caused by massive cellular malfunction—resulting from nutrient deficiency and exposure to environmental toxins.

By addressing the true causes of this disease, permanent weight loss can be achieved—without counting calories or feeling hungry or deprived. Best of all, overall health dramatically improves while the pounds are being lost.    We must also apply our minds and our bodies to effectively achieve permanent weight-loss and it’s all in the book.  Other important factors include genetics and medicine and what role they play in being overweight.  You can get your copy right here:

Deadly toxin in the Body

Here’s a small insert of the part about toxicity that Raymond Francis talked about last month: Teleclass

Identifying toxicity as a major cause of overweight is in itself a breakthrough
We’re all in toxic overload. That’s the bad news. Here is the good news – 80% of that toxic load that you’re exposed to is under your personal control. So anybody can learn how to take personal control and reduce their toxic load by 80%.  That’s exactly what I’ve done in my life and that’s why I’m getting younger, and that’s why I’m so healthy, because I’ve reduced my toxic load. Anybody can learn how to do this.

So that’s number one - learn where the toxins are and stop exposing yourself to them. It’s simple things like toothpaste and shampoo that will poison you. So use healthy toothpaste, use healthy shampoo, and make simple choices. 
Get the toxins out of your life. In Never Be Sick Again, there’s a whole chapter on toxins as to where they are and how to avoid them. So stop putting them in your body. I mean, that makes sense, right? Stop exposing yourself to them. 

The next thing you need to do is detoxify. The body is able to detoxify things. It has a very good detoxification system, but for every molecule you present to the body’s detoxification system, it requires many molecules to detoxify that one. So where do the many molecules come from? From your diet. READ MORE

Setting Goals

It's February. How are you doing with the goals you set at the start of this year? Or more importantly, what have you learned?

Here’s what I got in my inbox this week from:  seeds@success.com

"The real value in setting goals is not in their achievement. The acquisition of the things you want is strictly secondary. The major reason for setting goals is to compel you to become the person it takes to achieve them," says renowned personal-development expert Jim Rohn.

Here's what Rohn says you should do. Answer this question:

• What kind of person will you have to become to get all you want?
• Write down the kinds of skills you'll need to develop and the knowledge you'll need to gain. Your answers might give you some new goals for your personal development.
• Work on your goals. Your ability will grow to match your dreams. "This is the magic of goal-setting. The more you work on your goals, the more new opportunities will present themselves to you," Rohn says.
• You can make big changes in your life. "You can make startling changes you can't even conceive of right now, if you just give yourself half a chance."

The liver and Gallbladder Cleanse

Interview with Andreas Moritz:

REPLAY WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE MEMBERS AREA (MARCH 2009)

Take charge of your health with The liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse with Andreas Moritz

Shed Winter weight
Boost your energy
Detoxify your Liver and Gallbladder

Most people unknowingly suffer from a dangerous buildup of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. These stones clog up the body's cleansing organs, creating a toxic environment incapable of maintaining good health. You become fatigue, your tissue inflamed; you gain weight, and your immune system stops fighting off illness and disease.

In this teleclass Will discuss:

• The origins of health
• Methods of clearing the causes of disease and preventing illness from arising.
• Methods of cleansing the body from accumulated toxins and waste matter.
• Ideal daily and seasonal living routine to promote health and rejuvenation

Your liver could be in trouble

If you suffer from indigestion, constipation, moodiness, depression, cravings, poor memory, and hormonal imbalance, menopausal symptoms weight gain and always feeling angry.

Here’s what you can do about it! 

The first thing you need to do is to listen to your body, because your liver, throughout the regeneration process, sends out signals when all is not well.

Like the colon, the liver is begging for a cleanse. Don't worry; it's easy to do.

First, start your morning with a glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice in hot water. This helps to cleanse the liver and promote detoxification. It also stimulates bile production, cleanses the stomach and stimulates bowel motion. Read more

Remember, unlike the stomach for example, the liver rarely tells you directly when it’s upset or if it needs your attention. It does tell you indirectly, though and you’ll notice, when it starts to function or perform poorly.

How will you know it’s functioning poorly~ For starters, your skin will look older then it should be, you’ll see more blemishes, more pimples, more marks, and more rashes than normal.

The 21-day "No Complaining and Worrying" Fast

 Last week’s TeleClass with Laura Fenamore: WHY DIETS ARE OUT AND HEALTHY BODY IMAGE is in!

We talked about what power tools each of us have to help us take control of our life. We also discussed tools and methods that can help us create permanent change regarding weight. One of them was to Stop Complaining.

Laura mentioned that we’re close to Valentine’s Day. If you choose to celebrate this holiday of love, why not also devote the next 21 days to self-love as well~ Practice the art of self-love… let’s call this your 21-day ~No Complaining and Worrying~ Fast

Try to spend the rest of the month in gratitude, and offer thanks for the pluses in your life rather than bemoaning pain and regrets. As a matter fact, make it a point to write down 5 things to be grateful for every single day. There are so many things in life to be grateful for, if we just stop to think about it!

Imagine how much time we would have, and how much space there would be in our minds, if we put all our complaining and worrying aside.

The replay of the interview will soon be available in the Member’s Area. I’m working on that now, and will fill you in on the details later. 

And to get you started on the no complain fast, here’s a great quote from Tina Turner: 
“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go. Purge yourself if you are unhappy with anything. Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it, because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”
