Here’s [...]]]> How many times have our parents and our grandparents told us, “you are what you eat?” Of course none of us is *actually* a green bean, an apple or a potato. But we certainly become nourished (or not) by the foods and drinks we consume.  And apparently that can impact one’s adult behavior.

Here’s an article published at Yahoo titled Eating Candy in Childhood Linked to Adult Crime.  It references a study done by Simon Moore from Cardiff University in the UK (and a couple other studies).  I’ll try to get direct links to them if I can.  While correlation definitely does not imply causality, “Moore acknowledges that there is also some intriguing data suggesting that diet itself may have a profound effect on behavior.”

Score another one for our parents and grandparents.

He explains it well that you can’t mess up with Isagenix even if you don’t follow the schedule perfectly or even if you go on vacation without your  products for a week or even if you skip a day or two here and there for celebrations.  As long as you get back on the products when the event is over, your body will adjust quickly and get you back on track.  It’s really hard to mess up if you hold tight to this one simple rule:  Put Isagenix into your mouth!

The IsaBody Challenge for the 2010 Celebration in San Diego, CA is open for participants.  This time, participants have been given the flexibility to choose their 24-week period.  Here are the details:

“We don’t go out on a limb and put our reputations on the line for nothing,” said Technical Advisory Board [...]]]>

In the Technical Advisory Board session at the annual Isagenix Celebration in 2006, members of the board and guest doctors discussed the quality of the Isagenix products and how the products drew each to the company.

“We don’t go out on a limb and put our reputations on the line for nothing,” said Technical Advisory Board Director Dennis Harper, D.O.  He explained that after spending a quarter of a million dollars to get an education in the medical field, each doctor’s decision to join Isagenix was a major resolution backed by careful research and results the products created for their clients. “Isagenix has done more for my patients than any other thing I have ever seen in the last 20 years of my practice; when you see a product like that, you’re obligated to get behind it.”
 
Dr. Harper said the new IsaCalcium product is superior to other calcium supplements because of the rate of absorption. He explained that most calcium products have less than 10 percent absorption rates-specifically calcium carbonate, which must undergo 12 steps to be beneficial for the body. “IsaCal cium only takes one step,” said Dr. Harper. He added that IsaCal is extremely beneficial for women who are pregnant or nursing to replace calcium depleted from the mother’s bones by the fetus.

Cynthia M. Watson, M.D., who specializes on women’s health, focused on Isagenix’s Cleansing and Fat Burning System as an important way to obtain nutrition and lose weight, explaining that obesity was a common risk factor for disease. “Isagenix is a concept of overall health and wellbeing,” she said. “It’s important for women to maintain their weight, especially after menopause. Why not start cleansing now?”

Thomas McNeilis, D.O., OBGYN, spoke on the epidemic of childhood obesity and how Isagenix could help fight against it. “It’s a very frightening problem. Statistics show that more than 18 million children are now obese. That’s not counting those that are simply overweight.” He explained that soon obesity will be the No. 1 killer in the U.S., far surpassing those that die from smoking. “With Isagenix we can make a difference,” he said.

Andrew Keech, Ph.D., who developed Isagenix’s Isamune colostrum, highlighted its particular benefits. “It’s very important for adults as well as babies to receive colostrum,” he said. “Colostrum is the first food we get when we are born. It’s the most perfect food designed by nature.”

Vitamin C researchers Michael J. Gonzalez, Ph.D., and Jorge R. Miranda-Massari, Pharm. D., stressed the importance of supplementing with Isagenix’s C-Lyte. “I can summarize C-Lyte in one sentence,” said Dr. Gonzalez. “It’s the most complete formulation of vitamin C on the market.” Dr. Miranda-Massari added that health depends more on nutrients and lifestyles than on synthetic drugs, and that C-Lyte should be taken daily to aid nutritional supplementation.

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.  [...]]]> “For over a decade, I have been doing nutritional counseling and live blood microscopy – trying to help people get – and stay – on a path of improved health.”

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.”
