3 Stages of Stress: Where Are You?





STRESS.  Most people know that stress is very harmful to our health.  But did you know that stress has 3 stages?

1.  Flight or Fight: the stage of stress that can save your life.  The body immediately transfers large amounts of oxygen and glucose to the brain, muscles, and heart which are the most responsible for the bodies response to stress.

2.  Resistance:  this stage helps the body recover from the heart pounding response to the flight or fight stage.  Cortisol and adrenaline, hormone energy sources,  are made available to the body to help reduce inflammation, and repair cell damage. This stage usually helps us get through most of life's stressful situations.

3.  Exhaustion:  if the body can not control the stress during the resistance stage, the body enters the exhaustion stage.  In our crazy, stressful society, this is where a lot of people continually find themselves.  During this stage, chronic stress can be extremely harmful as the extended exposure to stress keeps the cortisol and adrenaline levels elevated builds to harmful levels in the body. and has harmful effects on muscles, the immune system, the digestive system, and overall metabolism.

Do your body a favor, and combat stress by consuming Ionix Supreme daily.  Ionix Supreme provides protection from the consequences of chronic stress, promotes energy balance and stamina, and supports the immune system.  A shot of Ionix Supreme daily is designed to balance your body by combating the negative effects of physical, environmental, and life stress while energizing cells to support faster recovery.  A shot a day keeps the stress away!

Is Our Food Nutritionally Bankrupt?


Is our food nutritionally bankrupt?  In a word...YES!

Most people know that farming uses herbicides and pesticides to eliminate bugs that may attack crops in the field.  But did you know that due to the heavy use of those chemicals in factory farming, the top soil has been sterilized, and many naturally occurring minerals have been neutralized.  So if the soil is depleted of minerals, those minerals are then absent in the food grown in that soil.

What are the repercussions of consuming food grown in mineral depleted soils?  Did you know that the soil requires 52 minerals?  And do you know how many of those required minerals are added to the soil during the planting season?  THREE...yes that is 3 minerals out of 52 that the soil requires.  Is it any wonder that so many people are in poor health? We are not getting anything close to what our body requires for optimal health.

What is the solution?  Of course the best solution would be to grow your own vegetables, which would allow you to grow organic and eliminate the chemical, as well as being able to supplement the soil.  Another solution is to reduce the amount of processed food, and fast food you consume.  The next best thing would be to add IsaFruits and IsaGreens to your daily diet.  IsaFruits and IsaGreens are revolutionary superfoods that contain the healthiest fruits and green on the planet, that are cold-pressed to boost your body's natural ability to defend against toxins.

Breakfast On The Go!


Smoothies to Go!

Prepare pre-packaged smoothie bags on the weekend for a quick easy to make breakfast on the go.  Smoothies are a simple way to fill up on good nutrients with minimal effort.  Put bags together on the weekend with berries, spinach, protein powder, and any other fruits or vegetables you like.  It only takes a couple minutes to dump the contents of your bag into the blender with a little water, or almond milk and a couple of ice cubes.  

To boost your smoothie add a couple of scoops of IsaPro, which contains 18 grams of high quality, undenatured whey protein.  Whey protein is the most effective for building and maintaining lean muscle and burning fat. IsaPro contains a complete branched-chain amino acid profile, all with low carbohydrates and fat and only 90 calories per serving. Blend it and Go, and know you are doing something good for your body!

Diet Tip of the Day: Remember to Eat!


Most people know that to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. But studies show that skipping out on snack time won’t necessarily lead to weight loss, since low calorie consumption can actually slow metabolism.  When you eat less than three times a day it may benefit those who are obese, but research shows skipping meals throughout the day and eating one large meal at night can lead to some undesirable outcomes, like delayed insulin response, which may increase your risk of diabetes. So instead of skipping breakfast or lunch, schedule a few meals a day with healthy snacks in between for weight loss.

My favorite snack between meals is a FiberSnack bar. The FiberSnack bar, with 6 grams of undenatured whey and milk protein and 24% of the RDA of fiber, will satisfy your hunger so you stay fuller longer.  Enjoy...they are delicious!

The 5 Life Changing Benefits of Vitamin C


Most people know that Vitamin C is important, but still don't make it an essential part of their daily supplement consumption.   Here are 5 reasons why you should make sure this is one supplement that you add to your daily routine.

1.  Helps treat common cold symptoms.  
One of the best tips I ever received regarding Vitamin C came from my nutritionist. My doctor told me that if you feel like you are getting a cold, take 2000 mg of Vitamin C, then take 1000 mg every hour.  A cold should not last more than 24-48 hours. Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine, and can help control allergy symptoms by reducing the histamine levels in the body.

2.  Collagen, is a protein found in the connective tissues of the body, like skin, tendons, muscles, and ligaments, and requires Vitamin C for production.  Vitamin C is extremely helpful in speeding up the healing of wounds from minor cuts to deep wounds, burns and broken bones.


3.  Vitamin C has an excellent antioxidant property, and helps reduce free radicals that may cause heart disease and strokes.  Vitamin C also helps lower cholesterol and improve blood flow which also helps in preventing heart disease.

4.  Vitamin C helps to regulate the sugar levels in people with diabetes.  

5.  Vitamin C can help prevent against the ill effects of stress, by protecting the nervous system and brain. Optimum levels of Vitamin C are required for the synthesis of adrenaline and nor-adrenaline, both of which play a role in the fight or flight mechanism of combating stress.

The daily recommendation of Vitamin C is different for all age groups (Adult men: 90 mg, Adult women: 75 mg, children between 9-13 years: 45 mg). 

There are several sources like oranges, chilly peppers, papaya, strawberries, cauliflower, and pineapple to add Vitamin C to your daily diet.  A medium sized orange contains about 75 mg of vitamin C, with larger oranges containing as much as 100 mg.

For a Vitamin C supplement that provides 24 hour support, protects your stomach by utilizing 3 forms of Vitamin C, and provides the equivalent of 5 cups of orange juice, try C-Lyte today.

Why Cleansing Is Vital for Your Health!


A lot of people know that cleansing is good for you. But cleansing actually provides multiple benefits for your body.  My favorite cleanse, called Cleanse For Life, is a synergistic blend of natural cleansing herbs & antioxidant-rich botanicals to help support detoxification, also contains powerful antioxidants like bilberry, blueberry and raspberry that nourish and protect your body from free radicals. Cleansing also helps eliminate stubborn fat and supports your metabolism while supporting your body’s ability to eliminate toxins and impurities.  Cleanse for Life is a perfect daily addition, and a great foundation to 1-day/week or 2-day biweekly Deep Cleansing programs.

HIIT It!


High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) combines periods of intense effort with periods of moderate-to-low effort. Why is it so popular? Interval training burns more calories and boosts metabolism significantly longer than a steady workout of even longer length.  The added bonus: Interval training gets more done in less time. Can we get a high five for HIIT?


To jump start your workout consume AMPED Power 30-40 minutes prior to exercising. AMPED Power contains Nitrosigine and Citrulline to support blood flow to maximize oxygen delivery while creatine increases the availability of cellular energy necessary for working muscles.

Why Chocolate is Good for Managing Your Weight!


You should never have to fully abstain from the foods that bring you the most joy. The good news: A little chocolate daily can actually support you in achieving your weight-loss goals.
The reason chocolate can be helpful has to do with indulgence, satisfaction, and balanced eating. When individuals take on the approach of complete restriction of certain foods like chocolate, they often end up with just the opposite: temptation, mental exhaustion, self-sabotage, and weight gain (1, 2).
Balanced eating, on the other hand, is not about complete restriction. It allows for controlled, portioned, and moderate indulgences, such as indulging in a small amount of chocolate. Balance is what makes weight loss sustainable. You can maintain balanced eating, believe it or not, by having a little chocolate daily.
Small, regular indulgences keep you enjoying life without guilt and without compromising your weight-loss goals – as long as you also make your daily consumption something to look forward to as a reward for a job well done in healthy eating.
Don’t Deny Yourself
The key is to avoid feelings of guilt, which can have the potential to lead to additional feelings of helplessness or loss of control (3). Instead, research into the psychology of dieting suggests that those who associate sweet indulgences like chocolate with “celebration” have a better time losing weight (3).
Consider adopting a balanced eating plan for weight loss – one that’s higher in protein, higher in nutrients, and lower in unhealthy fats and refined carbohydrates – but then leave some room in your plan for chocolate daily. By treating small indulgences of chocolate as a “celebration,” you will be more successful in losing weight because you will maintain a feeling of being in control of your nutrition.
Much like managing money, when you pay close attention to your budget, you can feel comfortable buying something special once in a while. This rule applies to dieting as well, as it is sometimes acceptable to have a little treat after a day of hard work.
Chocolate on Cleanse Days

 If you’re a regular chocoholic seeking out a way to best satisfy your cravings, then look to  IsaDelight® chocolates – now available in Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate with Mint. Each 60-calorie IsaDelight is individually wrapped for convenience and to help with self-control.  Open an IsaDelight and enjoy...knowing you are doing something good for  you!
