Good Bye Chronic Disease! Hello Amazing Health and Fitness!

THINGS TO CONSUME!
1) Eat 70% of your diet as raw vegetables (mostly greens)! – Smoothies or salads.
2) Consume 1/4-1/2 cup of flax seeds (or chia) per day (NOT FLAX OIL) can be blended in
your smoothie or chewed up in your salad. You are welcome to grind it fresh and throw it in your smoothie but it isn’t necessary with a high speed blender like a Vitamix. I was skeptical – I always recommended grinding it first but I have drank enough smoothies over the last two months that I am convinced with a Vitamix, or equivalent power blender, that you are not going to have whole flax seed go right through you!
3) Increase your water intake to a total of 96 oz per day (that includes your smoothie
water).

EXERCISE
In short, if you want to lose weight and get fit quicker do interval training – example
do any aerobic exercise that doesn’t hurt you for 15 seconds as hard as you can, then
go at a slower resting pace for 45 seconds (there are other time variations but this
basic one works) then repeat cycles for 15-30 minutes daily if you want fast results. Do
resistance training daily if your body allows you using 3 major muscle groups – 1) squat
type exercise2) pulling exercise and 3) pushing exercise with your arms. There is more
but that’s a start.

Why this program works so well and quickly is that all at once….
1) Your are starving the pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA) pathway that is fueled by the fatty acid arachidonic acid found preformed in meat, egg and dairy fat, and made by vegetable oils (linoleic acid – LA), and trans fats found in processed foods and vegetable oils; 2) at the same time you are enhancing the “anti-inflammatory” pathway, the omega 3 side, that leads to anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce inflammation; 3) enhancing the conversion, via the enzyme delta 6 desaturase, of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from flax seed (and chia) to EPA and DHA which go onto to make these anti-inflammatory compounds (eicosanoids). 4) In addition, you are hyper-nourishing your body with the most nutrient dense foods, green leafy vegetables, at the same time providing your body with copious amounts of water to make all the chemical reactions work in your favor to enhance metabolism, reduce inflammation and support healing.

Now most of you know me know and I don’t BS and I don’t make a nickel by telling you to follow
Thomas’s and Brooke’s program. I just want my patients, and whoever the heck is listening, to get well, and we, as a society, get rid of these stupid, preventable chronic diseases that account for 86% of our enormous health care budget (about $15 out of every $100 our country produces goes to chronic diseases)….Furthermore, I wouldn’t be sitting in a Starbucks typing my brains out on a Sunday afternoon with the work-week looming if I didn’t think sharing this information wasn’t very important and potentially life changing for people (i.e. I’d be in the gym, salsa dancing, stretching in sun, driving to the city to see my grand children, or hell maybe take a nap!).

HERE IS WHAT I SUGGEST…
1) Sign-up for Brooke’s and Thomas’s next 28 Day SmoothieShred challenge at
SmoothieShred.com (and/or do this – have 64 oz of smoothie 75% PACKED greens/25% fruit, at least 1/4 cup of flax seed, water up to the fruit line and blend for 28 days). Get that 64 oz done throughout the day. You don’t have to do it all at once. You will learn a lot from the videos that are for free at SmoothieShred.com after you sign-up and you join their facebook group.
2) Go to http://www.veganmedicaldoctor.com/ and go to http://www.thomastadlock.com/
and if there is a program or product that resonates with you get it and DO IT!
