04/15/2018

Every since I was in college in the 70s there has been this debate about whether exercise can lower your risk for Lower Your Risk For Heart Disease heart disease. Well the journal Circulation just published a new study that showed

Strength and cardiorespiratory fitness lowers the risk for heart disease across the board for all people!

And it didn’t matter your genetic risk and/or family history of heart disease.

The study followed approximately 500,000 middle-aged people over a 10 year period.

These participants were categorized according to their genetic risk for coronary heart disease.

The results of the study showed that physical activity reduced EVERYONE’S risk for cardiovascular disease.

And for those that were in the highest risk category, but had high levels of fitness, their risk was cut by 49 percent!

Our goal is to help a million people or more understand how they could naturally reset their gut microbiome to effectively address abdominal distress, autoimmune diseases, lack of energy, and weight management concerns.

Emerging science is clearly showing that almost every disease and illness today is also associated with your gut health.

The New Secret to Weight Loss

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/08/2017

The New Secret to Weight Loss centers on your microbiome. Two weeks ago I gave you the old secret to weight loss based on calorie consumption versus calorie expenditure. And while this application is still valid, for many it still presented a problem. Especially with long term weight loss.

Why?

Because they never reset their gut health. Which means the microbial communities of your gut continue to drive your eating habits. It is one of the reasons why people have cravings and are constantly hungry.

Current research clearly indicts that your microbiome significantly, if not entirely, impacts your health and wellness.

Even to your body composition of being lean or fat.

People used to blame their human genes for being overweight. And because of this, they felt powerless to change their physical appearance.

But science in the area of the microbiome, especially looking at your gut microbial communities, clearly shows this plays a far greater role in determining whether you are lean or fat.

This means that if you change your internal gut microbiome, you can significantly improve your ability to process food so that you use food for energy instead of storing it as fat. Read More →

Fat Burning Exercises – Part One

Posted by Dan Hammer //

09/01/2016

There is a lot of information about fat burning exercises on the internet. Unfortunately, most of the information is a bit misleading. Typically, the information centers on whether you should be doing aerobic exercise to effectively burn your fat stores or whether you should be building muscle tissue to increase your metabolism to burn your extra fat! The following quote from Adam Zickerman, author of Power of 10: The Once-a-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution provides a good example of this:

“Three extra pounds of lean muscle burns about 10,000 extra calories a month. (It) burns as many calories as running 25 miles a week, or doing 25 aerobic workouts a month without leaving your couch.”

This information, if accurate, would lead you to believe that all you have to do to lose body fat is put on an extra three pounds of lean muscle. No need to pound the pavement or treadmill or go to your aerobic class. Just workout with weights until you have gained those three pounds of muscle and you are set for life!

The Acid Alkaline Balance – Part 2

In part 1 of The Acid Alkaline Balance we discussed the health crisis in America. To put this in perspective America is first in having access to clean water and sanitation facilities. We spend more money per person on health care and a greater percentage of our GDP that any other country.

Yet, we are 34th in infant death rate, 29th in maternal death rate, and 48th overall in life expectancy. Where we used to be #1 in life expectancy for women age 65 we are now 20th.

Many feel the source of the problem lies in our calorie consumption. Americans consume more calories per capita than any other nation and we show it by the prevalence of overweight and obesity health issues.

What Does This Have To Do With The Acid Alkaline Balance?

Everything! The vast majority of the American diet centers on foods that create an acidic environment in your body. This then allows other acid producing pathways to take hold having a negative impact on your health and wellness. The body’s acid alkaline balance moves to the acidic range as a result of the following three things:

The Acid Alkaline Balance – Part 1

Your acid alkaline balance is a critical factor for both disease prevention and how well you age. This means understanding your body’s pH and its effect on your health is a critical component for a successful health strategy.

Some would even consider your body’s pH the single most important item to pay attention to for both optimal health and disease prevention.

Because of the scope of this issue, I have divided the acid alkaline balance into two parts. To set the stage for Part 1 we need to discuss the following topic.

Life Expectancy!

In the early 1900s the life expectancy in the United States was under 50 years of age. Over the last 100 years our life expectancy has increased to approximately 80 years of age, a 60% increase. Most experts in this area would attribute this increase to lower infant mortality, better diet, and improved hygiene. However, an interesting trend is occurring. With all the medicine and prescription drugs available to us today, especially here in the United States, we are continuing to move down on the life expectancy charts when compared to other countries. We are currently 48th in life expectancy.

In today’s post I want to share some observations about our Whole30 Journey. We completed this journey about 3 weeks ago. My wife and I have continued to apply most of the Whole30 parameters since officially ending this lifestyle.

I asked my wife Sherry to write down the three most significant benefits that she enjoyed while being on the Whole 30 Journey. They are:

Weight Loss

Significantly Reduced Joint Pain and Inflammation

Eliminated Bloating and Abdominal Cramping
