TWO WEEK SUGAR DETOX DIET

Then try my brand new two week sugar detox diet. Two weeks of wonderful meals from real foods! You get a day by day plan of what to eat and when to eat along with weekly shopping lists and recipes. Nice and easy!

Here's what a sample day of eating looks like:
======================================
Before Breakfast
- 8 oz water with juice of ½ of a lemon
-8 oz water

Breakfast
-2 eggs scrambled with mushrooms and peppers
-8 oz water

Snack Around 10:00
-1 apple

Before Lunch
-8 oz water

Dinner
-Grilled sirloin steaks with sautéed garlic, onions, and peppers with a small baked sweet potato with real butter and a salad with vinaigrette dressing.

NOTES: For breakfast, sauté the veggies first in a little olive oil, set them aside. Then scramble your eggs. When your eggs are done, add the veggies back in. Use sea salt and pepper if you want.

A serving of sirloin steak for you is 4 oz. (about the size of the palm of your hand).

Feel free to top your potato with butter. DO not use margarine.

When Healing Becomes a Crime

One of the first books I read during my holistic nutrition training and a real eye opener.  This book tells the story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and how many people were cured from cancer through alternative therapies.  What becomes equally intriguing to the cancer cure is the surrounding politics and the detailed story of the rise of the American Medical Association and the subsequent politics of that.  There is also a DVD that tells the story as well.  If you are interested in cures for cancer and medical politics this is the book for you!

Herbal Supplement and Heart Drug Interactions to Beware Of

Beware of the following heart-disease and herbal supplement interactions according to the Mayo Clinic:

Ginseng with Warfarin (decreases the drug's effectiveness), Antidiabetes meds (increases chances of having dangerously low blood sugar levels), and Digoxin (interfers with Digoxin test results by leading to false, increased levels)

Hawthorn with Digoxin (increases the drug's effect)

Ginkgo Biloba with Aspirin (increases risk of bleeding), Warfarin (decreases the drug's effectiveness), and Antidiabetes meds (increases chances of having dangerously low blood sugar levels)

Saw Palmetto with Warfarin (increases risk of bleeding)

Echinacea with Statins (increases risk of liver damage)

Garlic with Aspirin and Warfarin (increases risk of bleeding)

Primal Body - Primal Mind

I just finished this book a couple of months ago and it is one of my favorites.  It is consistent with how I l have come to look at the subject of health and wellness.  The subtitle says it all "Empower your total health the way evolution intended (and didn't)."  Quite simply - how was the human being designed?  What did we do?  What was there for us to eat?  Some pretty simple questions with simple answers - no processed foods, no added sugars, exercise was a way of life and for life, not for competitions.  It is a fast and interesting read - highly recommended.

The Gut Flush

Ever wonder why your digestion never seems just quite right?  Well, as much as we don't like to admit it - we are exposed to and host all sorts of critter within our own bodies.  Lots of times when your doctor can't figure out what is wrong with you or they tell you it is in your head, it may likely be something else - namely parasites, yeast, or other bacteria that are taking over your body and causing you a variety of symptoms.  Here's a list of some of the typical symptoms associated:

Constipation, Diarrhea, Gas and bloating, Irritable bowel syndrome, Joint and muscle aches and pains, Anemia, Allergy, Skin conditions, Granulomas, Nervousness, Sleep disturbances, Teeth grinding, Chronic fatigue, Immune dysfunction.  I've even had clients diagnosed with Crohn's and we discovered parasites and now they are healing their digestive tracts and getting healthier.


In the Gut Flush Plan, Ann Louise Gittleman tells you how to get rid of them!  I've used it with several clients, and all with great success. 

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

The classic book by Dr. Weston A. Price, the first book I read as I started to study nutrition, which brought on my observation: "They knew this in the 1930's!"  What did they know?  That our modern Western diet was causing increases in all forms of disease and ultimately killing us.  This book details Dr. Price's world travels where he visited "primitive" people who for some strange reason were perfectly healthy and had perfect teeth.  You see, Dr. Price was a dentist, and he was wondering why he was seeing a big increase in cavities (the most basic disease) along with crooked teeth and not enough space for teeth to come in (perhaps why Orthodontics is so prevalent today).  Dr. Price tells us what they were eating, why it is healthy, and surpirse - that it is quite different than the modern diet.

Sample Day of Healthy Eating

Here's a sample day of healthy eating from my new meal plans.  Note - you can even have meat and potatoes! (Well, at least on this day!) All the meal plans come with a complete shopping list for the week and contain recipes.  I have a variety of special plans available including: a two week sugar detox/weight loss diet, a gluten free diet, a dairy free diet, and a gluten and dairy free diet.  All plans are customizeable as well. For more information give me a call at 262-389-9907 or send an e-mail to bernie@brwellness.com.
