Aren’t all Powder Proteins the Same?

There are two elements associated with a nutritional cleansing and replenishing program.  The first element involves the cleansing of impurities from the body.  I liken it to an STP treatment for your engine.  You remove the impurities and your engine runs more efficiently.  In your body your engine running better means your metabolism is more efficient, and as an added benefit you have a tendency to lose weight.  I have found with my own nutritional cleansing and replenishing system that my body’s metabolism has a tendency to center itself.  I released pounds and found a weight that optimized my fitness level and athletic performance.

The second step to achieving a healthy lifestyle is to replenish the body with high grade nutrition.  Many athletes use a variety of vitamins and supplements to accomplish this end.  This is critical considering the poor state of health and fitness in this country and some of the junk we consider food.  One of the most common means by which athletes replenish their bodies is with a protein-based powder.  There are several different protein powders on the market at the present time that can be mixed into flavored meal replacement shakes (usually a chocolate meal replacement shake or a vanilla meal replacement shake).  The options presented below are in order from least to most effective/comprehensive in achieving total health and fitness.

Maintaining A Healthy Weight Is A Balancing Act

How to get to a Healthy Weight and Stay There:

Achieving and maintaing a healthy weight really is all about balancing highly nutritious food intake with physical activity but what else is missing? Regular Cleansing is what most diets are missing and why they don’t work for the long term.  Regular Cleansing can help tip the scales in your favor!!!

Regular Cleansing, includes fasting and drinking herbal remedies, which has been practiced throughout history and around the world.  Cleansing gives the body the chance to rest, regenerate and assist in its natural ability to remove toxins and impurities to promote long-term wellness. However, Nutritional Cleansing improves upon this ancient practice with a system that cleanses, replenishes and revitalizes the body with essential nutrients. Fasting helps to remove impurities from the body, but Nutritional Cleansing speeds up this process by infusing the body with healthy nutrients.

In simple terms, Nutritional Cleansing can be compared to changing the oil in your car. We regularly change the oil in our cars because it gets dirty and clogged by pollutants. We drain the dirty oil and replace it with clean oil, which helps our cars to run more efficiently. The same can be said for our bodies. We are regularly exposed to pollutants in our environment, impurities in our diets and stress that is often created by our hectic lifestyles. Nutritional Cleansing helps the body and organs to do what they are designed to do naturally and remove impurities.

Nutritional Cleansing is complete systems that can help to promote optimum health, help you lose weight and maintain your weight loss for life!!!  It’s a complete approach to greater health and wellness.

What is Nutritional Cleansing with Isagenix?

Cleanse Days are a period of low-calorie intake, with no meals and only suggested snacks, accompanied by our Cleanse for Life™ liquid nutritional supplement, which replenishes the body with essentials vitamins and minerals.

Shake Days are when you follow a low calorie meal routine, where one to two meals are replaced with nutrient-rich IsaLean® Shakes, Bars or Soups. The third meal is a suggested low-calorie, nutrient-dense meal.

The final component of the Nutritional Cleansing Isagenix system is an infusion of essential nutrients, which includes daily supplements taken that provide essential vitamins and minerals to optimize health along with a minimum daily 20 minute exercise routine .

The Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing system is not a “quick-fix” or a diet.  It about creating a healthy, manageable lifestyle.

The benefits of Nutritional Cleansing, combined with the convenience of a complete wellness system, has given people the ability to change their lives in remarkable ways and has created greater health and safe, lasting weight loss for hundreds of thousands of people.

Remember that small steps add up. Slow, steady weight loss is more likely to last than dramatic weight changes.  If you want to reach or maintain a healthy weight, the best path is a lifelong combination of eating smarter, moving more and cleansing regularly.

Toxin Alert: Innocuous items in the home expose us to dangerous chemicals

According to Green America Quarterly, “there are more than 80,000 chemicals used in consumer products and manufacturing in the US, and more than 2,000 new chemicals are introduced each year.  Only about 200 have been tested for safety.”  As a young mother I was concerned about chemicals even in pacifiers.  So, I did not use them with my daughter.  Nearly 25 years ago when my daughter was born I was concerned that even pacifiers contained chemicals.  I thank my intuition for making the decision to not use them. Now nearly 25 years later,  reports are becoming available to the public about  the health hazards of once accepted everyday chemicals for cleaning, and items found in the home .  Items which would  be considered innocuous such as cosmetics, household cleaners, stain resistant clothes, and furniture are all being labeled as contributing to this problem. Do your research and you will find out that more and more, there is research which links the relationship between this threat and a whole host of  chronic diseases. In time it will become more understood.

Fortunately there are precautions we can take to help minimize the risk of these invisible threats. This video exposes some everyday household items and how despite doing our best to eat healthy we can do more.

I encourage you to eat organic when possible, to help support a cleaner environment and at the same time you will be bringing home healthier food for you and the people you care about.

I hope this information has peaked your interest in taking a look at everyday products in your home as possibly contributing to unnecessary stress on your body.

If you would like information on how to purchase the cellular cleansing system we use. or if you would like more information I have gathered  on the burden these toxins can play on our newborns please contact me.

Undenatured Whey Protein Shakes important part of cleansing and weight loss

“Cleansing” is a hot topic now in the U.S.  especially where I live in Colorado.  So in vogue now,  that it can cause one to just do nothing because of the daunting task to find a safe, reliable, and affordable system.

There are many products and companies touting that they have the magic juice or ingredient to “cleanse” our body. However, data supports the importance of having a full spectrum nutritional intake to support the body in cleansing using both phase one and phase two pathways.

The body has 2 main pathways of detoxification called phase one and phase two. Thus, it is important to  support our bodies with a mulititude of ingredients so it utilizes both pathways and not over burden any of our bodies natural cleansing abilities.  No single ingredient or process can achieve this goal.

One very important component of cleansing to look for is the quality of protein one takes.  Because  Amino acids in protein shakes support the phase two process it is vital to purchase a high quality protein shake that is has a complete amino acid profile and is highly bioavailable.

Independent testing shows that  bioactive ingredients other than whey proteins are important components in a meal replacement shake.  Some are  Cysteine, and amino peptide factors and growth factors.   When whey is heated the bioavailability of the food is compromised. Having a large array of  ingredients in one system is also economical.

Look for a source of whey that is not the by product of cheese production, as this can harm the whey because of the heating that is needed.

As quoted from an article written by Robert Harrison:

“When the milk goes through a heating process (approx. 163 F), chemical modification and pH regulation to produce cheese. Each of these steps denatures (damages) the whey proteins.”

Let’s look at one amino acid in particular:  Cysteine vs. Cystine

“Biologically active whey protein that contains naturally occurring Cysteine is optimal for the intracellular production of Glutathione. If Cysteine undergoes any heating or processing, as all conventional dairy and dairy by-products do, it is denatured and converted to Cystine.”

Glutathione is produced within our bodies and is vital for supporting phase 2 of detoxification. It is imperative that the protein profile offers our bodies this nutrition for safe cleansing.

The Isalean shakes are undenatured whey protein from grass fed cows in New Zealand and are processed using a low temperature process.  They have the full amino acid profile needed to support phase 2 of the detoxification pathway.  This makes it the perfect compliment to the “cleanse for life” juice drink which supports the “phase one” pathway.

Preventative health is more than just eating well and exercising.  It is finding a safe way to help rid the body ofharmful impurties that we encounter everyday. I have found that incorporating a comprehensive cleansing program that is easy to follow into my daily life has taken my health to a new level and has helped me reach my ideal weight and keep me there!

Did You Miss This INDULGE WHILE YOU CLEANSE

“I lost seven pounds in, like, one week” isn’t the kind of statement you expect to hear from someone who’s had to cut back on her exercise regimen – but that’s just what Nancy O’Dell experienced after she turned from cardio to cleanses after being sidelined by a knee injury on Dancing with the Stars. The former daily runner tells PEOPLE that she turned to Isagenix, a cleansing and fat burning nutritional system, to maintain her physique. “You can eat as much as you want as long as you eat organic fruits and vegetables, and it has all the juices and stuff you drink with it,” she explains.

What is Isagenix? What is in the Isagenix 9 Day and 30 Day Program?

What do you know about Isagenix?

For most people, the Isagenix 9 Day or 30 Day Program is something their friend did and she lost a lot of weight and feels great.

And that’s about it. Most of us have no idea what’s in it or how it works.

Well, that was me last week…

My good friend is always talking about Isagenix, but I never really listened.  Actually, I was a skeptic.  I am by nature, but who isn’t when it comes to dieting advice?

So,it took a long time, but I finally listened and I learned that the Isagenix 9 Day and 30 Day programs really aren’t about dieting at all.  Isagenix is really about getting healthy on the cellular level and weight loss is just a side effect.

No more yo-yo dieting or taking dangerous diet pills. Finally – shed those stubborn unwanted pounds and extra inches easily without going hungry or starving yourself. Here are the four low-calorie, fat-burning steps to a slimmer, healthier you.

Step One – Nutritional Cleansing with Cleanse-for-Life®
You start by giving your body the right nutrition for a thorough cellular detox is called “Nutritional Cleansing.” Nutritional Cleansing is not one of those fad juice fasts or crazy colon cleanses.

Each 25-calorie serving contains a proprietary blend of 11 gentle detox-promoting natural botanicals with organic agents and Ionic Alfalfa™ minerals.

When you perform regular Nutritional Cleansing with Cleanse for Life, you give your body a fat-burning start to ideal weight and optimal health.

Step Two – Replenish Your Body with Satisfying IsaLean® Shakes
The IsaLean® Shake is a high-protein, nutrient-dense, low 240-calorie complete beverage that satisfies you while helping burn unwanted body fat.

The filling, proprietary replenishing formula combines in one tasty shake:

• 23 grams of the highest-quality grade 7 undenatured whey and casein protein from the world’s pure source: New Zealand grass-fed cows raised without antibiotics, growth hormone or steroids

I can drink one or two complete, nutritionally-packed, low-calorie IsaLean Shakes daily for healthy weight and optimal health.

Step Three – Relax and Rejuvenate with Ionix® Supreme
Try Ionix Supreme!  It offers a unique blend of stress-coping, performance-supporting adaptogenic herbs that includes: Eleutherococcus , Golden Root and Nepali Shilajit, plus antioxidants like Wolfberry and Ionic Alfalfa.

Why wouldn’t you want to cleanse your body on a cellular level with Isagenix?

The information about harmful chemicals all around us is becoming more mainstream. Everyday there are articles, and news reports about how every day chemicals that we don’t even give a second thought about are being found to negatively impact our health.  In a recent letter from the Environmental Defense Fund they state “many of these chemicals have never been safety tested”.  So you ask might yourself, “what does this mean to me”?  Consider that one of the key issues the EDF is alerting us to is the fact that these chemicals have not been tested for their cumulative effects on our bodies, and they have not been tested on how they interact with each other in our bodies.  The National Geographic magazine in an article in the fall of 2006  addressed this very scary fact. So what do we do to help protect ourselves?

Being in the medical field I was quite leery of, and continue to be leery of herbs for cleansing. So when I came across a proven system that was clinically tested, and had a proven track record of over several years, I became interested in learning more.  I had many questions and all were graciously answered by the associate who worked with me. I decided to use the system and within a few days had noticable results.  My weight loss and health improvement results were better than I ever dreamed they would be.

Cleansing our internal bodies can be a simple and effective way to assist the body in releasing harmful impurities.  Isagenix offered me a way to “cleanse” my internal body while offering me a system with a proven track record, that has been clinically tested.

Common Household Items linked to serious health risks and obesity

Information about how our modern word convenience and products are contributing to serious health risks and obesity is becoming more well-known.  The Environmental Defense Fund is one organization that has been a leader in providing facts to the pubic about this threat to our health.  In an article this month the EDF warns us about invisible toxins inside our homes.  They helped write a report in collaboration with the coalition Safer Chemicals Healthy Families.  This report “connects the dots between chemical exposures and chronic disease”.  The following are a few common household items that contain chemicals linked to serious health risks:   flooring and windows, plastics, fragrances,  food can linings, nonstick cookware, cleaners, hardwood floor protectant, carpeting, nonstick cookware, stain resistant fabrics, microwaves, adhesives, pizza boxes, fast food containers, batteries, old paint, lightbulbs.  This list contains items we can avoid and many that would be very difficult to avoid in our modern world.

As a Physical Therapist in Northern Colorado where health is on the minds of many people,  I am seeing more and more chronic illnesses,  more illnesses affecting people at younger ages, and people desperately wanting to lose weight.  We owe it to ourselves to be diligent about what we eat, what we purchase, what we bring into our homes, and how our actions are affecting our environment.  And we owe it to ourselves to find safe ways to rid our bodies of harmful impurities.

To  help protect us from things in our environment that we are unable to control I have embraced a safe and effective lifestyle using the Isagenix system.  I feel it is the best way to help my families immune system. We are very thankful for having been introduced to the system that Isagenix has so brilliantly designed.

Fort Collins, CO Isagenix Cleansing business building dreams

I never would have thought that stopping by a kiosk at a mall in Fort Collins, CO to win a bottle of an Aloe based body cleanse would change my life.  My results on the cleanse were so surprising that I had to look further into who else was having such wonderful results.

I wanted to know more about the people who make up this company and product  line.  It has taken me on a journey and  opened my eyes to what true wellness is and what residual income is.  As a Physical Therapist I thought I was doing all the right things to stay healthy and to plan for retirement.

What I have learned was that I was missing a key component to preventative health, and that I can share good health, build income with a global business, and help others do the same, right from my home in Fort Collins, CO.!

I love helping others to be happy and Isagenix is the perfect vehicle for me.
