Wellness Tip of the Day: Attack Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels More Naturally!

I can't stand prescriptions that have major side-effects.  Can't stand em!  I was THISCLOSE to working for pharmaceutical giant Lilly after college, but couldn't stand the idea that I was tapping into a realm of science where side effects were a given...as if we should just accept the idea that making an improvement in one area in health was bound to cause a decrease in health in another area.  I found the idea unacceptable!

When I work with clients with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or high triglyceride levels, I'm glad I know about Melaleuca.  In addition to making the most outstanding vitamins I've ever seen, they also make supplements for heart/blood issues that are nothing short of amazing.  Meet Phytomega.  It is a proprietary blend of heart-healthy phytosterols and omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce cholesterol levels and maintain healthy triglyceride levels.  Meet Provex CV.  It is a patented blend of grape skin, grape seed, and other antioxidants to help prevent LDL oxidation and maintain healthy blood platelet activity.  These two supplements are in the Vitality 6 vitapack from Melaleuca.  When I have a client with high cholesterol or triglyceride levels who wants to avoid taking cholesterol medication, these are what I recommend.

Meet ProStolic. It is the first and only heart supplement to maintain healthy blood pressure using a proprietary blend of tripeptides, potassium, pomegranate, and passionflower to protect your heart—naturally.  When I have a client that wants to look at avoiding blood pressure medication or getting off their medication, this is what I recommend.

If you know a family member who is looking to attack their cholesterol, triglyceride levels, or blood pressure and is tired of the idea of taking a prescription for life to do it, I'd love to talk with them about the food, fitness, and supplements that could help improve their blood work!

Minneapolis Personal Trainer Tells How to Succeed with New Year's Resolution of Weight Loss

Happy New Year!  I'll bet that you found this blog because you are looking to lose weight in 2009.  Most people do not succeed with their weight loss resolutions, but if your search for answersand ideas brought you here, you most be serious about looking and feeling your best in 2009!  I'm here to help!

Reading today's blog provides you with three specific benefits: 1) get 3 ideas that will help you with your weight loss resolution, 2) learn how to get my $100 virtual boot camp for free, 3) learn how to get "The 27 Factors Affecting Fat Loss and Weight Loss" for free!

If you are serious about losing weight in 2009, here are the three most important things I can tell you about successfully losing weight...

New Year's Resolution Weight Loss Tip #1: Don't Lose Weight

Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, LA Weight Loss, and most other programs try to convince you that weight loss is the ticket.  If weight loss is the ticket, how come the weight keeps coming back?  Because weight loss is not the ticket.  When people focus on weight loss, they end up burning up their body's ability to burn calories and kill their metabolism as a result! 

Fat loss is the answer.  By focusing on losing fat (which is what I help all my clients to do, and can help you to do for $100 or free.....email me at adam@keepyourbetterhalf.com to find out how to do it for free!), I help clients lose fat weight instead of muscle weight, help them increase their metabolism instead of slow it down, and help them keep their new body instead of watching it slip away.

It is not about how much we weigh, it's about how much fat weight we have.  Don't lose weight in 2009, lose fat weight!

New Year's Resolution Weight Loss Tip #2: Start it the Right Way!

Are you tired and sluggish as you go through your day?  Are you stressed out and irritable?  Are you locked into cravings that help make you fat?  If so, you are like most of us in the United States!

Most of us have a severely damaged body.  We are filled with fat cells that don't burn calories!  We are filled with toxins and organisms that make progress more difficult for our body.  We have stressed our organ, digestive, and nervous systems so much that they are worn down and not functioning the way they were designed to function.

The first step for anyone wanting to lose weight is to clean the body out and get it ready to live again.  Doing a cleanse helps the body function correctly, makes fat loss (and weight loss!) progress happen more quickly, and helps us to have abundant energy!  If you want to lose weight and do it the right way, the first step is to do a cleanse.  And there are thousands of cleanses you could do by yourself, or....

Join me for the 2009 Total Body Makeover Virtual Boot Camp (www.keepyourbetterhalf.com).  We start January 15th.  We walk you through a gentle and body-changing cleanse.  You can join me as I help you and others around the world for $100 or do it for free (again, send an email to adam@keepyourbetterhalf.com to find out how to do it for free!)

New Year's Resolution Weight Loss Tip #3: Focus Some on Exercise, Focus Mostly on Foods and Life Changes!

For most people, exercise makes up less that 5% of our day.  Mastering exercise is a nice step for fat loss and weight loss, but taking care of the other 95% of our day is going to impact weight loss a lot more than the 5% of our day spent on exercising.  Mastering our daily intake of food is more important than anything else we can do to change your body.  Eating the right foods at the right times will do more for us than exercise ever could (exercise is tremendously important, don't get me wrong, but it's just 5% of our day).

For this reason, the 2009 Total Body Makeover Virutal Boot Camp (www.keepyourbetterhalf.com) has a food focus.  In fact, for 28 days you will know exactly what you need to eat.  No guessing, just a concrete plan full of foods you probably already enjoy...just put in the right order and in the right amounts!

Minneapolis Personal Trainer Wants to Train Athletes, Overweight, and Health-Deprived in '09

As Christmas nears, I think about all the things I would like to see under the tree.  Perhaps you have some special items that you desire as well (NOTE: if you want me to write a blog about something in particular for you...kettlebells, cardio, alkaline foods, burning more calories in less time, etc....please send an email to adam@keepyourbetterhalf.com and I will try to accomodate you).

I'll promise to leave Santa some low-glycemid index cookies with goat milk or almond milk if he promises to leave these things under the tree...

Personal Trainer Christmas Wish #1: A 250+ lbs. Entrepreneur

I would love to work with a person in 2009 that has put everything into their business at the cost of their body.  I would love to tackle their lifestyle one piece at a time and build it in a way that makes sense for their line of work and for their health.  I would like to help them lose 30 lbs. quickly, lower cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, and get their body on track to becoming a lean 200 lbs.

Personal Trainer Christmas Wish #2: An Athlete with College Sports Aspirations

I want to help an athlete crack the college ranks in 2009.  By training explosive movements, implementing the right foods and supplements (and helping them stay clear of things that will harm their body forever like steroids), and addressing neglected essentials like hips and stabilizing muscles/tendons, I would really enjoy taking an athlete from a college long-shot to a first-team player.

Personal Trainer Christmas Wish #3: A Mom Who Can't Keep Up with Her Kids

I want to work with a mom who gets tired after walking up a flight of stairs.  I want to work with a mom who wants to chase her young children around but just can't keep up.  I want to help that mom rebuild her day so that she gets the time she needs so others can get her best as well.  I want to help her transform from overwhelmed to in control, from over-eating to focused and nourished, and from self-conscious to clearly confident. 

Personal Trainer Christmas Wish #4: Someone Whose Health is on the Rocks

There is someone out there who is facing serious challenges with diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, joint problems, sleep problems, food addictions, and bone problems.  THAT is the person I want to help save in 2009!  I want to work with them and bring them along in their health journey.  I want to help them lose 100 lbs!  I want their progress to be so significant that they feel empowered and encourage others by their progress.  I want to bring their health insurance costs down.  I want to help someone add years to their life AND life to their years. 

Personal Trainer Christmas Wish #5:  Expanded Influence in 2009

Last year I wanted to help more people in Minneapolis get their health back.  2008 was a very successful year.  In 2009, I want my upcoming ebook "The Little Ebook on Fat Loss and Weight Loss" to work its way into the lives of 50,000 people (not just 50,000 readers, but 50,000 successful implementers!), I want to work with leaders who can set an example of health and body change that inspires their team!  I want to reach people who will reach others!  I want my circle of influence to be expanded.  If you have a following (a pastor, a radio talk show host, a company with employees), I want to start with you and then work in your organization to help improve the lives of those around you.  I want health insurance costs to go do, energy and production to go up, and lives to be improved!
