“Bill’s a welcome addition to our team,” says Coover. “His wealth of knowledge and experience in nutrition research, [...]]]> Dr. William E. Wheeler, Ph.D., ACSM joined Isagenix in 2006 as a special consultant, formally a staff nutritionist to Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, to coordinate scientific studies on nutrition and advise Isagenix President and CEO Jim Coover.

“Bill’s a welcome addition to our team,” says Coover. “His wealth of knowledge and experience in nutrition research, product formulation, product review and regulatory compliance all serve to broaden our resources for providing leading-edge, result-producing products and programs.” 

Dr. Wheeler is the senior author of numerous scientific publications on nutrition and has helped develop more than 6,200 nutritional products.

His research philosophy aligns well with Isagenix’s focus on using natural products in its nutritional cleansing, weight-loss and youth-restoring systems. “The company emphasizes superior quality, honesty and integrity,” he says. “Isagenix products deliver true nutrition, which works with your body naturally—without the use of stimulants.”

Dr. Wheeler fine-tuned his expertise on natural nutrition and performance with years of advising Olympic and professional athletes and teams. He says people should treat their bodies with as much care as athletes treat their bodies. “We’re all athletes. A 65-year-old grandma and Brett Favre have the same protein requirement per pound.” Dr. Wheeler adds, “Now don’t misquote me; I didn’t say Brett Favre throws like a 65-year-old grandma.”

Dr. Wheeler’s past clients include the 1996 U.S. Olympic decathlon team; 2002 U.S. Olympic snowboarding team; several NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball teams; NASCAR and the Air Force Academy college football team.

Cleansing has always been a key in my educational approach, and a great way to start any new program of nutrition, whether through food or supplementation.  Many have asked me about weight loss programs that were on the market, and if they worked or not. In most cases, unfortunately, these programs did not get to the root of the problem of weight gain, and in many cases caused more harm than good.

When I was approached to look at the Isagenix 9-Day Fat-Burning System, I took an open minded approach, which I do with all types of programs, and was very surprised to see none of the harmful ingredients I have come to expect in weight loss products. In fact, I saw it was a cleanse and fortification program that was far beyond anything I had ever seen before – and it had ALL of the ingredients I normally work with and then some.

After further investigation, I found that many of the stories of improved health and weight loss went back to basics of my philospohy of getting the body back into balance, and letting it do the healing from within. So where do I go from here, I asked myself. I have always had a rule that I would never work with a product unless I tried it myself. Although I had no weight to lose, being the same weight at 50 that I was at 20, I decided to check my body percentage and try a 9-Day program myself. My body fat was 19.9% and for my measurements and age was right at the excellent level of 19.8%. Can I improve on that, was the question I asked myself. After the first 2 days of cleansing – I dropped to 18.4% and continued to decrease until day 9 when I was at 16.4% – a total loss of 3.5% body fat!!  Now at 160 pounds, that’s a fat loss of almost 6 pounds, but on the scale I had actually gained 2 pounds.  So what happended?

To my suprise, I had gained muscles from the high quality protein in the program, and since muscle weighs more than fat, that’s why the scale showed weight gain.  This goes back to the basics – when you balance the body – it will take care of itself – and, in my case, muscle gain was needed. This is why looking at the scale for results can be deceiving when working with a total health system like Isagenix.  I have found it best – for those with a body fat analyzer – to look more at how you feel and how your clothes fit – than looking at the scale.

I have kept my body fat at 16.4% for almost a year now. I continue to take an Isagenix Shake every morning to start the day, and I use the Cleanse for Life for periodic cleansing during the month. I use the other high quality nutritional products offered by Isagenix to complete my Nutritional Support Program. I have worked with many others using this unique program and have seen amazing results in both weight loss and health gain.  I have no hesitation in sharing it with anyone  who wants to make an effort in taking control of their life. Whether you are looking to cleanse, lose weigh, gain muscle, increase your energy level – Isagenix is the perfect program to get back to the basics of what nature intended – good health!!

“I have been asked a couple of times recently, “What is the difference between the Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and the Herbal Colon Cleansing?” Many people seem to [...]]]> Jeff Gadley is a former Registered Nurse, Olympic Athlete, and Fitness, Health & Exercise Expert.  He compares the difference between the Isagenix Nutritional Cleanse and Herbal Colon Cleanse below:

“I have been asked a couple of times recently, “What is the difference between the Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and the Herbal Colon Cleansing?” Many people seem to think that they are the same, operate by the same exact process and that the products end results are similar. That’s totally incorrect!

Truth be told, comparatively speaking, these products are like talking apples to oranges.

Let me explain… The Herbal Colon Cleansing product was developed to help you to get rid of what is termed fecal matter. This fecal matter is like spackle or paste stuck to the lining of your lower or large intestines. The idea is that this paste like substance is a breeding ground for parasites, bacteria and harmful pathogenic agents.

The reality of the matter is it that science has proven that this fecal matter problem does exist! According to the program general recommendation information, an Herbal Colon Cleansing procedure is suggested at least 2 times per year. With the paste-like substance removed from your lower gut, you feel better and your body will start to absorb nutrients better from the food that you eat.

Now, let’s get a base understanding of Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing.  As the company explains in corporate marketing materials, cleansing is not new.  However, what they have done is brought it from an ancient approach to modern day and thus, created a scientifically advanced product that is designed to infuse a nutrition dense formulation of minerals, herbs and botanicals into your body for the purpose of eliminating toxins and impurities.

Now, follow this closely… These toxins and impurities are embedded in tissues and body fat, so one of the main objectives of their process is to help you get these dangerous substances out of your body.

Research has shown that these toxins and impurities have been linked to your body adding fat stores and making it difficult to lose weight and keep it off! This is because the extra body fat is produced as a defense mechanism to protect the body from the dangerous substances being introduced to it daily.

When comparing the different process of a Colon Cleanse versus the Isagenix Nutritional Cleanse we can start to see that one is dealing with the physical mechanics of the body’s elimination system, while the Isagenix product is for optimizing the physiology of cell and chemical functions in the entire human body.

What that means is that it gets to the root of all problems that arise in the human body.

Recent research has discovered that our bodies are loaded with 200+ toxins, chemicals and impurities and that these nasty particles of destruction come from the food that we eat, the fluids that we drink and the air that we breathe.

There is no way to avoid these hazardous chemicals and pollutants from getting inside of you.  Their product was specifically designed to reduce life-long accumulated levels of toxins and impurities.

In conclusion, both are good products that your body would greatly benefit from. However, the Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing product dominates Herbal Colon Cleansing in terms of providing your body with excellent nutritive substances and the critical nutrition needed for the body to begin the process of healing.

I strongly encourage you to do your own research in order to verify the information contained in this article and draw your own conclusions about what is best for you.”

The Isagenix shakes are a superior product for such a task and the athletes representing the NFL, Olympics, Triathalons, Iron Man, Bike Tours (and more) were evidence of this fact as well as the many trainers and gym rats who participated in the annual [...]]]> Whether you’re an athlete or not, building or maintaining lean muscle mass is very important. 

The Isagenix shakes are a superior product for such a task and the athletes representing the NFL, Olympics, Triathalons, Iron Man, Bike Tours (and more) were evidence of this fact as well as the many trainers and gym rats who participated in the annual Isagenix Celebration in Anaheim, CA.

The rest of the folks in attendance at Celebration were folks like you and me who came to Isagenix because we are healthy-minded individuals or just desparately wanted to lose weight.  They were also proof of the greatness of the Isagenix system!

So what makes the Isagenix shake so great? 

First of all, the whey protein of the shakes is the highest grade available and it’s not produced in the U.S.A.  The whey protein is produced in New Zealand under much stricter dairy standards than we have in the states.  The whey proteins sold in U.S health stores are of significantly lower quality.  To give you an understanding of Isagenix’s superior quality, you must know that the whey protein is undenatured, has a superior amino acid profile, is easily bioavailable/digestibility and contains active enzymes because the protein is processed under low heat.

The shakes have a very specific protein breakdown consisting of fast and slow proteins.  Fast proteins assist the body in building lean muscle mass while the slow proteins slow down the breakdown of lean muscle mass.

This composition of proteins are essential for all individuals as they assist with muscle endurance, muscle fatigue and muscle recovery in addition to building lean muscle.  Athletes benefit greatly from consuming it before and after competitions or vigorous exercises.  

For weight lose, the shakes are essential to the body gaining lean muscle mass and muscle is essential to burning fat.  This is the key difference between the Isagenix system and other weight loss programs like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc.  Unless you are working out, you’re likely losing muscle mass instead of fat and that is why so many people bounce back to their original weight.  But not with Isagenix.  Isagenix rids your body of real fat during the weightloss program while building lean muscle and that’s why you’re more likely to keep the weight off.

Recent studies have found Colostrum to be three times more effective against flu than the flu vaccine. A trial was conducted comparing colostrum to flu vaccine. The paper titled “Prevention of Influenza Episodes With Colostrum Compared With Vaccination in Healthy and High-Risk Cardiovascular Subjects” evaluated the efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral colostrum in the prevention of flu episodes compared with anti influenza vaccination. Groups included healthy subjects without prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and colostrum. After 3 months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in the non-colostrum subjects.  There were 4 groups studied:

• The colostrum group had 13 flu episodes with duration of illness up to 4.3 days, no hospital admissions.
• The colostrum + vaccination group had 14 flu episodes with duration of illness up to 4.6 days, no hospital admissions.
• The group with no prophylaxis had 41 flu episodes with duration of illness up to 13.2 days, 2 subjects required hospital admission.
• The vaccination only group had 57 flu episodes with duration of illness up to 11.3 days, 1 subject required hospital admission.

Part 2 of the study had a similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital admission was higher in the group that received ONLY a vaccination compared with the colostrum groups.

Colostrum, both in healthy subjects and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective.

I contacted Dr. Keech and he explains this about Swine Flu:

“Like many of the other animal flu diseases it is not the virus that causes sickness and possibly death, but the “Cytokine Storm” that the presence of this type of virus causes. The pro-inflammatory cytokine response cause respiratory distress by “drowning the patient”, thus depriving the patient of oxygen, which can led to death.

The way to prevent and reverse this affect is to rebalance the activated T-cell production of cytokines. This is done via cytokine modulation. Peptides for colostrum have a immunomodulatory effect on the human cytokine system. This normalisation or balancing of the cytokine system take only a few minutes, because the cytokine half-lifes are short in human plasma. There is a product called “IsaMune”, which is a sublingal cytokine modulator.”

Some news networks decided to take a closer look at the Isagenix system.  Here are those episodes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EZpwXOIdzQ&NR=1 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc_9RTU9ZWk&feature=related.  The results of the man and woman in the first link are [...]]]> There is a lot you could learn about the benefits of Isagenix.  Instead of re-inventing the wheel, let me direct you to www.isamovie.com for starters.

Some news networks decided to take a closer look at the Isagenix system.  Here are those episodes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EZpwXOIdzQ&NR=1 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc_9RTU9ZWk&feature=related.  The results of the man and woman in the first link are typical for their size and like mentioned in the second review, the weight stays off.  The reason is because you’re losing real fat vs. water weight like in other programs.  Folks are able to manage cleanse days because the brain is getting all the nutrients that it needs.  If my hypoglycemic mom and diabetic mother-in-law can easily do a cleanse day, then anyone can (under a doctor’s supervision, of course).

At the 2009 Isagenix convention in early August, there were countless people who had lost between 50 and 100 pounds and at least 40 people recongnized for losing over 100 and and over 200 pounds.  The biggest loser was a guy who had lost 358 pounds. WHAT?!  Yes, it was jaw dropping and very exciting!  These are real people with real weight loss success and a better life thanks to Isagenix.
