With Valentine’s Day being right around the corner, I
thought I’d give all of my readers an early present by sharing the experience
that a couple I am treating has experienced with our fat loss program at
Vibrant Life Health Center.
Keith and Becky Manderson decided to team up to lose weight
about a year ago. At the time, Keith had
a 52-inch waistline. He was also on high
blood pressure medication.
Keith’s Story
“A year ago, I wore the biggest pair of pants you could buy
at Walmart. Now I wear a 42. What’s even better is the way there fat loss
system treats your body. You’re not
hungry all the time. You get to eat real
food. The main thing is you get to talk
to the doctor every day. If something
isn’t looking right, he’ll tell you which way to go, and it will straighten you
out.

Happy
New Year! The beginning of a new year is a great time to start something new.
In 2017, I’ll be writing posts for Vibrant Life Health Center’s blog about once
per month. These posts will be from the perspective of the doctor’s wife. The
focus will sometimes be on issues affecting women, but it will also delve into
general purpose topics as well. Like my husband, I hope to impart information that
will be useful to readers.

Happy New
Year! If you made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight and to become more
fit, you are not alone. Making a resolution is the easy part. The big question
in January is whether you will stick with it. Waking up on New Year’s Day and
realizing that there’s a price to pay for whatever unfortunate excesses may
have happened the night before, or throughout the holiday season, is the hard
part.
Fortunately,
help is available. Joining a fitness club or signing up for a weight loss
program are relatively easy. Lots of people do it in January and it works for
some of them. However, to achieve your goals, it’s important to find the right
fit.

Overcoming
Negativity

The holiday
season is supposed to be a happy time, and for many people it is. However, for
some people, the holiday season can be a challenging time. Some people even go
into various levels of depression during the holiday season. One of the most
common coping mechanisms for dealing with sadness is to eat.
It’s easy
to over-indulge during the holiday season when food is everywhere, and
everybody seems to be eating and enjoying themselves. You really have to watch
out for negative trains of thought that seem to keep running and running. When
you get stuck in a rut mentally, it’s easy to turn to unhealthy behaviors like
over-indulging. Keep yourself around positive people as much as possible. And
don’t forget to do some of the things that are good for you, like taking a walk
or reading a book.

It’s fun during the holidays to give
gifts to loved ones. It’s also fun to be nice to yourself, especially if you do
something that will continue to pay off in some way for a long time. For many
people, NutriMost is a gift that keeps on giving. Initially, NutriMost helps
people to lose a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time.
After going through the NutriMost
program, people continue to benefit by keeping the weight off. However, there
are lots of other benefits that aren’t reflected on the scale. Many people are
able to discontinue their use of prescription medications for conditions like
high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In addition to being
a health benefit, it is an economic benefit since it saves money.

Jon Thomas, DC, Board Certified Chiropractic Physician.
“If you always do what you've always
done, you will always get what you've always got.”
That quote has been attributed to several people, including Albert Einstein,
Henry Ford, and Mark Twain. Although the origin of the saying is not known for
certain, the wisdom of it continues to ring true. The principle can be applied
widely, and it certainly applies to healthcare.
If watching TV for ten hours a day while munching on junk food
and drinking sweet carbonated beverages has contributed to you being fifty or
more pounds’ overweight, continuing the same behavior will probably increase
your weight even more. On the other hand, if exercising regularly and eating
good foods that have been minimally processed has resulted in you maintaining a
healthy weight and having good health, continuing that behavior will probably
continue to produce similar results for you.

The First Thanksgiving took place
in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in November of 1621. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoag
Indians gathered for a feast to celebrate the autumn harvest. While the meal
may have featured turkey, there was probably some other fowl as well, including ducks, geese, and swans. Yum, yum.
There may also have been seafood including lobster, clams, and oysters.
Some of the locally grown and
organic vegetables for the meal were probably onions, beans, lettuce, spinach,
cabbage, and carrots. Fruits for the meal may have been blueberries,
plums, grapes, raspberries, and cranberries. It really
sounds like a fairly healthy meal.
Thanksgiving is one of our
country’s great traditions. It’s also one of the biggest holidays of the year
for most Americans. Getting together with family and friends for a big
delicious meal is something most people enjoy. However, many people enjoy the
food so much that they tend to overdo it.
Portion Control - Eat, drink, and
be merry, within reason

Some people like to get a serving
of every food presented. Sweet potatoes, mashed
potatoes, potatoes au gratin, green beans, baked beans, peas, carrots, a
biscuit, a piece of cornbread, a piece of garlic bread, a little dark meat, a
little white meat, stuffing, apple pie, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, Boston cream
pie, etc. With the wide variety of foods available at many Thanksgiving
dinners, all those servings can add up to double or triple the calories of a
normal meal.
Here’s a tip: You don’t have to try
everything. Also, eating and eating and eating till you can barely move isn’t
all that enjoyable. Just because it’s Thanksgiving doesn’t mean you should
forget your health objectives, especially if one of those is to control your
weight. So, at some point, you just have to put down the fork down and step
away from the table.
Trigger Foods
Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
One of the things NutriMost patients
learn about is trigger foods. Trigger foods are the foods that cause people to
pack on the pounds quickly. They’re not all the same for everybody either. For
one person, peanut butter may be a problem. For someone else, pizza might be a
problem. With some trigger foods, once you get started it’s hard to stop. For
example, Oreo cookies can be a problem for some people, especially if there’s
some milk to go with them. In order to
avoid your trigger foods, you must first become aware of what they are.
One way to develop an awareness
about trigger foods and how they affect you is to keep a close eye on the
scale. If your weight is up two pounds one morning, whatever you had for dinner, the night before might be a problem. If
you know what your trigger foods are before Thanksgiving, you’ll know what to
avoid. It could be the bread, or the
potatoes, or the apple pie. For most people, green beans are probably OK. In
any case, if you want to wake up raring to go for a full day of extreme
shopping on Black Friday, you might consider avoiding your trigger foods.

are delicious, and that won’t put you off
course in terms of your weight. In fact,

Some people say that what you don’t know
won’t hurt you. In fact, when it comes to toxins in the body, what you don’t
know can make you sick or kill you. Radon gas, drinking water contaminated with
lead, car exhaust, and chemicals seeping into the water supply from landfills
are a few examples of toxic substances that will hurt you.
Surprisingly, people also consume toxins
in a variety of foods if they’re not paying attention. An apple a day may keep
the doctor away, but not if the daily apple is coated with pesticides! Our bodies have been designed to
naturally remove toxins. However, if we are not carefully avoiding or
limiting our exposure to toxic substances (medicines, processed foods,
cleaners, air pollution, etc.), our bodies can become overloaded with
toxins.
Our world is becoming more and more toxic with the level of
synthetic chemicals, preservatives, and man made ingredients creating toxic
load our bodies sometimes can’t remove.Toxins accumulate over time. A toxic
body is an unhealthy body. Toxins affect how the body operates. Among other
things, toxins can have a significant impact on a person’s ability or inability
to lose weight. The good news is that you can reduce your exposure to chemicals
and take positive steps to detoxify.
What is a toxic substance?
Substances that cause health problems
are considered toxic. People don’t generally drink ammonia or eat rat poison
because they know that it’s harmful to consume those items. Products that
people use every day, like household cleaners, prescription drugs, gasoline,
alcohol, and even artificial sweetners can also be harmful. It’s not as easy to
avoid all of those as it is to avoid the most obvious toxins.
People take in toxins by breathing
gasses, vapors, or dust. As I’ve mentioned, people also take in toxins by
drinking or eating them. Substances can be ingested, absorbed into the blood,
and then transported throughout the body. The more you do to avoid taking in
toxins in the first place, the healthier you will be.
How can you detoxify your body?
Courtesy of Vibrant Life
At Vibrant Life Health Center, we teach
patients how to detox their systems. Using fresh and locally grown produce in
your diet is a great way to avoid many toxins. Since produce that is grown
nearby doesn’t have to be shipped very far, no preservatives are required.
Also, if you shop at a farmers’ market, you can actually talk to a farmer about
how he or she grows produce, what kind of fertilizer is used, etc. That
information can really help people to make wise decisions about what they are
putting into their bodies.
Food supplements can also be helpful for
detoxifying. The key is to get the highest quality supplements from someone you
trust. There are lots of supplements on the market, and they vary in quality.
The way they are made can make a tremendous difference. Members of my own
family and I use many of the supplements offered at Vibrant Life Health Center.
I wouldn’t offer anything that I would not use for my own family.
Chiropractic care is also very effective
for removing toxins. When the vertebrae of the spine are in their proper
alignment, the central nervous system can function properly. Along with
everything else the nervous system does, it also sends messages throughout the
body to get rid of any toxins. Chiropractic adjustments release toxins that
have built up. Releasing those toxins improves energy levels.
Can toxins affect weight?
Courtesy of Vibrant Life
Carrying excess fat around the abdomen,
hips, and thighs is usually a sign of a hormonal imbalance. No amount of
dieting or exercise can correct this problem. Hormonal balance is one of the
keys to weight gain and weight loss. Hormones control the metabolism, food cravings,
fat burning, and more. Hormone imbalances are caused by disrupting chemicals.
The World Health Organization refers to
these disrupting chemicals as “obesogens.” Nearly 800 different chemicals are
obesogens. They alter components of the hormonal system that control weight
gain. They also interfere with the functionality of the metabolism, fat
storage, bone development, and the immune system.
Over 60% of Americans are overweight.
Obesity can be a result of genetics and/or behavior. However, it is ultimately
controlled by the endocrine system. Shampoos, toothpaste, lotions, soaps,
cleaning products, and many other common household items can contain chemicals
that disrupt the endocrine system.
Most weight loss programs focus
primarily on the diet. Diet is very important, but another key to weight loss
is getting the body operating properly. NutriMost is a program which focuses
not only on diet and losing weight. NutriMost also addresses how the body is
working so that patients can keep the weight off after they have lost it.
Some people have chemicals in their
bodies that disrupt hormones and neurotransmitters. When that happens, the body
becomes resistant to shedding pounds. NutriMost identifies the chemicals in
patients’ bodies that are causing them to store fat instead of burning it.
An assessment measures vitamins,
minerals, toxins, and many other components. Once any chemical imbalances have
been identified, we put together a personalized plan for getting the body back
into balance. Removing toxins from the body is one of the things that sets
NutriMost apart from other weight loss programs. Detoxification enables a
person to burn fat naturally.

When it comes to health and
fitness, everybody has a different set of challenges. At Vibrant Life we meet
people where they are at with programs that address their specific needs. We
assess all of the issues patients are facing and then put together our programs
for them.
We help people to attain the levels
of health that they’ve been dreaming of. Bob lost a lot of weight and he’s
continuing to work toward his fitness goals. He recently appeared on a Life in
Balance segment with me on First Coast Living.
“I had a co-worker who told me that
NutriMost really worked for him,” Bob said. “I was an electronics technician in
the Navy. When I checked into NutriMost and I heard about the resonant
frequencies used in the program, that appealed to my technical background. The
personal contact in the program is one of the keys. Checking in every day helped me to stay accountable.
“Dr. Thomas is an amazing
encourager. His responses always encouraged me to stick with it. I’m trying to
get back to the same weight I was when I retired from the Navy over 20 years
ago. I lost 40 pounds in 40 days while I was on NutriMost. My total weight loss
so far is 56 pounds, and my goal is to lose a total of 80 pounds. My wife is
very happy, and several of my co-workers are now looking to start on the
program.”
15 patients have lost 580 pounds in
20 to 40 days on NutriMost in the past few months.
The NutriMost program shows people
why they’ve been having trouble transforming their bodies the way they want to.
As people go through the program they realize that wellness is so much more
than a number on a scale.
Obesity is a very serious problem
and health experts are now predicting that we’re going to see shorter life
spans because of it. We’ve got to make changes. NutriMost educates patients
about the changes they need to make and then enables and empowers them to make
those changes.
We partner with our patients and
walk through this process with them. At the end of 20 days or 40 days, people
are lighter and many are off some, or all, of their medications. Just as
importantly, they have the strategies and the tools they need to continue
toward their wellness objectives.
One thing I hear over and over from
patients like Bob is that the personal contact has an enormous impact on how
they do with the program. They know that when they face a particular challenge,
they can get an answer very quickly. Not in a day, or two, or in four hours.
They can frequently get an answer to their questions in less than an hour.
I believe that keeping in close
touch with patients communicates to them that I care about how they’re doing.
Patients find that highly motivating. I’m very motivated by seeing patients
succeed. That’s truly a win-win!
By the time people finish a cycle
on NutriMost, they have the knowledge and the tools they need moving forward.
They also know that there’s a place they can always go back to for answers to
any questions they may have.
Life in Balance Tip: Do the right
types of diet and exercise for your body type.
Wondering what kind of exercise to
do? Although many people don’t realize it, different activities work better for
different body types. Think about that. An exercise program that works well for
one person might not work for someone with a different body type. There are
mainly three body types: Ectomorph, Endomorph, and Mesomorph.
Ectomorphs usually
have a fast metabolism and they have trouble gaining muscle mass. Since one of
the goals of an ectomorph should be to gain weight, bodybuilding for
ectomorphs should address that need. Cardio exercises which burn calories
should be kept to a minimum. Ectomorph should consume lots of calories from
complex carbohydrates. This will help them with anabolic weight gain.
Endomorphs are the
opposite of ectomorphs. Endomorphs have slower metabolisms which store extra
calories. Endomorphs gain weight easily and they struggle to lose body fat. The
main goal for endomorphs is to burn body fat. Exercises for endomorphs should
include several cardio sessions each week. Weight training should be done at a
fast pace with lots of repetitions. Diet is especially important for
endomorphs. In order to lose weight, they must burn more calories each day than
they consume. The best diets for endomorphs are high in protein and moderate in
fat and complex carbohydrates. They should avoid snacks.
Mesomorphs usually
have a genetic advantage which helps them to build lean muscle mass. Mesomorphs
frequently look athletic without really training. They benefit from nearly any
training regimen. Mesomorphs do well with alternating exercise programs.
Three keys to exercise that
produces positive results.

Never lose sight of your goals. The brain
works best when it is focused on a specific target. The more focused a person
is, the more likely he or she is to succeed. Take time to identify exactly what
your objectives are. Do you want to gain muscle, to lose body fat or both? Identifying your fitness
destination is a big step toward getting there.
Balance diet with exercise. Whether
your goal is to add muscle or burn fat, exercise and diet work best together. A
low-calorie diet will help you to lose body fat, but it won’t help you to build
muscle mass. To achieve your goals, you need a diet which complements your
exercise regimen.
Customize your exercise program. Whether
your wellness goals include burning fat or building muscle, make adjustments to
your diet and exercise program. As you find what works for you and what
doesn’t, make adjustments to your diet and exercise. Tweaking things once in a
while will help you to develop an integrated program which will help you to
achieve your objectives.

and exercise, check out these related articles.
This article features a weight
loss testimony from Bob, who lost 40 pounds in 40 days. I’ve also discussed how
exercise and diet work together for the three main body types.
