I hope you are enjoying the series of articles based on the
book Body by Science. This month’s
newsletter features the third installment discussing the all important area of
the hormonal impact of exercise. Unfortunately this is one of the most
misunderstood aspects of exercise. While exercise has many benefits, improper
exercise can create hormone imbalances. Hormones determine and drive most of our
body’s functions, thus hormone imbalances can be at the root of many disturbing
symptoms. For a refresher on hormones click here: http://brwellness.com/nutrition-news/?cat=11
One of the best newsletters I receive is from Dr. Bruce
West. Each month is packed with valuable information. His February issue was
one of the best ever and I wanted to share a few of his nutritional nuggets from
that issue. This article follows below.
New stuff in the
office: Supplements for pets and water tests.
Did you know that almost 70% of pets in U.S. households are
on medications? I was shocked, but I guess not surprised when I read that in an
article about Pfizer’s pet drug division. Many of my clients have pets at home
and they are just concerned about their pet’s health as their own. Standard
Process has an excellent line of pet products, particularly for cats, dogs, and
horses. I have several clients who are aware of this and I am able to supply
them with product. If you are interested let me know.
Ever wonder if your water supply is safe. I’ve come across
some easy do it yourself home water tests from Silver Lake Research. I have in
stock the well water test kit ($25) and the city water test kit ($20). For more
information on the test kits you can click here: https://www.discovertesting.com/products/display_products_overviews.sd?iid=1&headtitle=Drinking%20Water%20Test%20Kits
If you are interested give me a call or send an email.
Exercise and Hormones: Fat Burning (Yes) and Fat Storing
(oh no!)
I have recently introduced you to the book Body by Science by Doug McDuff, MD and
John Little. This book offers a clear explanation of the actual science of
exercise, how activity relates to hormones, and how this determines what
happens in your body. In short, it answers the question I am frequently asked.
“Why am I gaining weight when I am working out every day?”
In the introductory article I summarized his key points. In
this article I will address one of those key points. The effectiveness of
exercise is all about hormones, fat metabolism and blood glucose levels.
Hormones signal the body to burn fat and to store fat. High intensity training
works the major muscle groups to exhaustion, uses up glucose, and encourages
the body to burn fat and build muscle.

Nutritional Nuggets
from Dr. Bruce West
One of my favorite nutrition publications I get is Health
Alert by Dr. Bruce West. Each month I look forward to the latest edition. The
official title is Health Alert: When All Other Treatments Fail. I think you get
the picture. Dr. West is a Chiropractor and a big fan of Standard Process
products. He is also a big fan of the truth. February’s issue was full of juicy
nuggets that I’d like to share.
Nugget #1: Almost all treatment for heart disease is
unnecessary!
Nugget #2: Artificial sweeteners cause diabetes!
Nugget #3: Heart attacks are not caused by clogged arteries!
Nugget #4: Multiple sclerosis is directly linked to poor gut
flora!
