Special Promotion on Appetite Suppressant

In case Easter Holiday chocolates triggered your sweet tooth, here is some help. Improve the way your body handles carbs and sugar to reduce sugar cravings, balance blood sugar and help with weight loss.

Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit extract and is safe to use, and effective, according to studies. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22530711   According to Web MD,

Garcinia cambogia may make it easier for your body to use glucose, the sugar your cells need for energy. Mice that got garcinia cambogia in one study had lower insulin levels than mice that didn't. That's another reason, besides weight loss, that people with Diabetes are interested in it. However, if you're taking garcinia cambogia along with a medication to control your blood sugar, your glucose could get dangerously low.

Some research has found that garcinia cambogia can also improve cholesterol levels, lowering triglycerides and LDL(the "bad"cholesterol) and raising HDL (the "good"cholesterol).

Garcinia Cambogia is an aid, but not a magic pill for weight loss. I have seen Garcinia used most effectively as an appetite control. Take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Eat a low carb diet with plenty of vegetables, protein and healthy fats. Eat every 3-4 hours and do not skip meals. Get daily moderate exercise or intense short-burst exercise. Let Garcinia help you to avoid the urge to snack.

The Garcinia Cambogia we carry is 65% HCA, the active ingredient and contains Chromium, Calcium and Potassium to further enhance stable blood sugar levels. The supplement is made in an American lab.  

For the month of April Garcinia is on sale for $20 per bottle, half the usual price.  You can use it alone, or as part of a detoxification program, weight loss program or hormone balancing program. We can mail Garcinia to you, along with any other supplements you need. Call or email to order. 818-562-1400. Lucas.wellbodyclinic@gmail.com  Let me know if you have any questions.

If you are taking prescription medication, check with your MD before using Garcinia Cambogia. However, it is generally safe and has long been known in the herbal world.

 

 

How To Know if You Have a Food Intolerance

You can probably recognize an actual food allergy.  Classic symptoms would be hives or difficulty breathing.

But food intolerances are harder to spot. They may not appear immediately and you may mistake the symptoms for a variety of other issues.

More and more people have food intolerances these days, even kids. As our food supply is more chemical, and the “natural foods” have more pesticides and are genetically modified, the human body is faced with trying to break down and metabolize an entire new type of ingestibles.

You can’t really call some of this “food” anymore, since lab-created chemicals or chemical/food hybrids won’t actually support human life.  These pseudo-foods will kill slowly, and they won’t support healthy physiology and function of organs and glands, so the quality of life suffers. This is why many obese people are actually starving at a cellular level.

The benefits of addressing food intolerances include:

1) Easier weight loss   2) better, deeper sleep   3) reduction of cravings  4) less PMS 5) mood stability  6) less bloating  7) improved immunity.

Even if you don’t suspect that a food you are eating is bothering you, check out this list. You may be surprised.

A short list of symptoms that could point to food intolerance includes stomach pain, reflux, ear infections, frequent illnesses, red cheeks, eczema, joint pain, frequent diarrhea/constipation, asthma, temper tantrums, fuzzy thinking, fatigue, headaches, failure to thrive, excessive gas, and sleep disturbances.

On one hand, eliminating foods that your body can’t handle will help. On the other hand, improving digestion, from stomach to gut, is also vital. Food intolerances are an indication of “leaky gut” which means that the gut wall is compromised and toxins or undigested foods are able to pass through to the blood. Normally the body is very protective of what goes into the blood, and anything that slips by the protective mechanism is going to trigger an immune response, and may lead to chronic inflammation-one of the main risks for heart disease.

Probiotics and digestive enzymes can be used by most people to support healthy digestion and replace the protective gut “bugs” that guard the intestinal walls. Fermented and cultured foods also help. We now know that food is not just a matter of putting gas in your tank. It is also a means of maintaining a strong fortress against disease.

So, if you have some puzzling symptoms, consider that something you are eating may be causing you digestive distress and compromising your immune system. It is far more likely that you are suffering from inflammation than a serious disease. But chronic inflammation from a gut and stomach that are not working correctly leaves you susceptible to disease. So, catch it early. You will feel so much better for it.
