To get back up again when we get knocked down. When we get knocked down we might stay there for a time, but we must remind each other not to get stuck there, and to ask for help. The healing process can be a long one, but one that must be walked and it involves healing all aspects; mind, body and spirit. My experience shared here also proves how we are all a team in this world and we have the power to uplift each other. Often times when we are in a rough spot we feel disconnected and alone, like the world is against us, when that is far from the truth. We just need to reach out and then be open to receiving the healing and guidance.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The games were held in Orlando, Florida at Disney World!

It came up in my feed as all the advertisements do when the Internet knows we like related things. I saw wounded warriors, men and women who went to the war and lost limbs, arms and legs. When I read more I learned it was also about veterans who suffered internal injuries like brain damage from explosions, or even "invisible wounds" like post traumatic stress disorder and depression. Then I learned that 22 veterans commit suicide every day in USA, and that's when it hit my heart. When I was 18 I declared to myself and the world that I would contribute my time here to help reduce depression and suicide with the time I have here. It's a subject close to my heart because a family member of mine first attempted suicide when I was 17 years old, and at that time I was so confused I didn't understand or know what depression was. I traveled the world and interviewed people on depression and visited some of the countries that had high suicide rates like Latvia and Lithuania. Since then I've experienced severe depression myself and gone through thought processes where I thought I was worthless and should take my own life. I have been recovering from this the past few years and feeling much better and happy to say I do not experience those feelings or thoughts anymore. Because I overcame it I know that others can to. And others do to, but sadly many take their lives. It takes a lot of things to heal from the darkness of depression; I did a lot of healing using food, and also did a lot of mental, emotional and spiritual work.</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Happiness is not ready made, it comes from your own actions.” Dalai Lama</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">My role in this… Helping people heal with food.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Veterans, service men and women who go to war experience traumatic things and it's understandable they take their lives.

So I had the opportunity to visit his stunning office at the Fisher House in NYC on Park Avenue. Ken explained to me, "I was late for the close. They drove me in with golf cart. There were about 1,000 family & friends of the veterans who greeted me. I have to say it was the most incredible 10 minutes of my life."</div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Ken said that the games far exceeded anyone's expectations. I would have to agree. <div><br></div><div>Ken started work on Invictus Games in January 2015 and described it having so many moving pieces. "We wanted these to have an Olympic kind of feel. We decided on Disney after having dinner down there and resonated with the concept. It was a great location because everyone stayed together which gave them a chance to share their experience. The family and friends of the veterans could affirm they are not alone and be rest assured that other people are going through similar circumstances and knowing that gave them another outlet. It helped them to ask 'how did you deal with that, what did you do?' Disney knows how to do these things. Everyone took something positive out of it. I saw a lot of smiles. There were no major glitches, and the coverage was excellent. Everyone who came in walked out winning, whether they won a medal or not. Everything can take something positive from the Invictus Games 2016. </div><div><br></div><div>I asked Ken about the next Invictus Games which is being held in Canada September 2017. He isn't sure whether the Fisher House will be in or not however he is of course there for moral support. </div><div><br></div><div>The more I learned about Fisher House the more I was blown away. Fisher House plays a huge role in the healing process of a wounded veteran and their family. The family members can stay for free at Fisher House while a veteran is being treated in hospital. The financial burden is removed and they get to meet other families in the house who can support each other. </div><div><br></div><div>"If someone has already had that bad day, they can help you through it. If you have a good day someone there to share that celebrate." </div><div><br></div><div>Selfie time with Ken was fun! </div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nxD139Fh97U/V0yVigfHHkI/AAAAAAAAIBk/GjcdmT_QL34/s640/blogger-image--2012718569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nxD139Fh97U/V0yVigfHHkI/AAAAAAAAIBk/GjcdmT_QL34/s640/blogger-image--2012718569.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This was on Ken's desk, and is one of the reasons he does what he does. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OzVrknm6u2Q/V0ybPjzB_MI/AAAAAAAAICU/aEyIHGjFLqk/s640/blogger-image-816347362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OzVrknm6u2Q/V0ybPjzB_MI/AAAAAAAAICU/aEyIHGjFLqk/s640/blogger-image-816347362.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yXJbAtRlX9s/V0ybRjRygeI/AAAAAAAAICY/ubAkg8cWHjA/s640/blogger-image-59132955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yXJbAtRlX9s/V0ybRjRygeI/AAAAAAAAICY/ubAkg8cWHjA/s640/blogger-image-59132955.jpg"></a></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Ken Fisher was born in the Bronx.

“My doctor says my LDL cholesterol is really high and he’s concerned,” is a recent question I received from a reader. “Now you’re saying that I should <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2015/12/27/separating-fat-from-fiction-10-fat-facts-you-need-to-know/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">eat more fat</a>, which should improve my cholesterol. I thought fat was the last thing I should be eating with high cholesterol.”</div>

I know how confusing cholesterol and dietary fat has become. The media, many scientists, and even doctors still disseminate outdated research on nutrition.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The reality is, most of us have little understanding about our cholesterol levels in our blood and the whole topic is much more complicated than we thought.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2014/09/08/saturated-fat-get-bad-rep/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">saturated fat</a>, causes heart attacks and that taking statin drugs provide a powerful way to reduce your risk of heart attacks. But is this really true?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the biggest refuse-to-die myths is that dietary and cholesterol levels are the enemy and a high-fat diet causes heart attacks.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Your doctor, the media, and traditional health professionals advise that you shouldn’t eat too much fat or cholesterol; yet, study after study shows no link between total fat, saturated fat, or dietary cholesterol and heart disease.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

One <a href="http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-evidence-raises-questions-about-the-link-between-fatty-acids-and-heart-disease" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">review </a>of 72 studies comprising almost 600,000 people found no link between total or saturated fat and heart disease, but they did find that <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2013/12/05/never-eat-frankenfats/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">trans-fats</a> were clearly harmful and <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2012/03/01/time-for-an-oil-change/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">omega 3 fats </a>were beneficial.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What most doctors and drug company commercials don’t talk about are the studies that show that most people who have heart attacks actually have normal cholesterol levels. Because we have statins and other drugs that lower cholesterol, the belief is that these drugs are preventing the heart attacks. What we need to focus on, is what we can do to reduce our risk for heart attack.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One large <a href="http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/majority-of-hospitalized-heart-75668" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">study </a>looked at 541 hospitals with 136,905 admissions for heart attacks. Altogether, researchers accounted for 59 percent of all heart attacks in America that year.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Interestingly, all of these patients who had heart attacks did not have high LDL or elevated total cholesterol. In fact, 75 percent of those people had “normal” LDL cholesterol, with 50 percent having optimal LDL levels. So much for the high LDL contributing to heart attacks.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here’s where it gets interesting. Only 10 percent of the participants had levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol over 60. This means that 90 percent of these patients who suffered a heart attack had HDL levels under 60. Low HDL is a big red flag for <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2012/01/15/dr-marks-minute-pre-diabetes-it-is-deadly/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">pre-diabetes</a>, or what I call diabesity. And we now know that low HDL is the real driver of most heart attacks and heart disease.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Indeed, researchers in this study found most of these patients had metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes or <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2011/11/17/8-steps-to-reversing-diabesity/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">diabesity</a>.</div>

I have seen this over and over in my practice over several decades. Fat and dietary cholesterol are not the culprits. It’s sugar and refined carbs that contribute to diabesity, heart disease, and so many other problems.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The End of Low-Fat Diet Recommendations</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reviewed all the research over 40 years and told us to stop worrying about dietary cholesterol, arguing it is “not a nutrient of concern.” They also finally lifted any recommendations to restrict dietary fat after 35 years of a steady diet of low-fat recommendations! This was buried in the report but is huge news.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I recently interviewed one of the world’s leading cholesterol experts, Dr. Ronald Krauss. He told me in the 1980s, when low-fat recommendations were in their heyday, he performed a study taking people with normal cholesterol and feeding them a low-fat, high-carb diet, which experts considered healthy at the time.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Krauss was shocked at what happened. This supposedly healthy low-fat diet changed healthy cholesterol profiles into heart attack-prone profiles, with high triglycerides, low HDL, and small LDL particles. Researchers were shocked.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What we now know matters most is the type of <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2013/11/26/fat-make-fat/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">fat </a>you eat, not the amount. Trans-fats and refined vegetable oils promote abnormal cholesterol profiles; whereas, omega 3 oils from fish and monounsaturated fats found in nuts and olive oil can actually improve the type and quantity of your cholesterol.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Trans and damaged fats are unhealthy, but the biggest culprit of abnormal cholesterol levels is not fat at all. It is <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2015/03/21/dr-hyman-on-the-3-crucial-phases-of-the-blood-sugar-detox-plan/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">sugar </a>in all its many forms.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The sugar you consume converts to abnormal blood cholesterol and belly fat. The biggest culprit of all is <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2011/05/13/5-reasons-high-fructose-corn-syrup-will-kill-you/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) </a>found in soda, juices, and in most processed foods. That’s what causes cholesterol issues in most people, not saturated or total fat.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When you ingest fructose in high amounts without the associated <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/06/28/the-super-fiber-that-controls-your-appetite-and-blood-sugar-2/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">fiber </a>found in whole fruit, it turns on the cholesterol-producing factory in your liver called lipogenesis which makes super dangerous small LDL particles, jacks up your triglycerides, and lowers the HDL (or good) cholesterol. So does sugar in any form, including flour and <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2014/02/07/eggs-dont-cause-heart-attacks-sugar/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">refined carbs</a>.</div>

So, why are we all obsessed with total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol when we know they aren’t the primary culprits for heart attacks? Because a multi-billion dollar drug industry exists behind the number-one best-selling class of drugs on the market: <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2013/10/09/6-steps-healthy-cholesterol-stop-statins-now/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Statins.</a></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Believing that having a low LDL is the best way to prevent heart disease, doctors often prescribe medications like statins to keep those levels low.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yet these drugs can introduce a whole host of problems including <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24061077" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">muscle damage</a>, memory issues, Parkinson’s-like symptoms, and muscle aches and pains. We now know that statins can <a href="http://consumer.healthday.com/diabetes-information-10/misc-diabetes-news-181/statins-linked-to-raised-risk-of-type-2-diabetes-697126.html" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">increase risk of diabetes by about 50 percent</a>.</div>

They also prevent your muscles from working properly so when you exercise, you can’t get as fit. One 12-week <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3463373/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">study </a>found that people who took statins showed a 13 percent reduction in fitness after a vigorous exercise program. The statins blocked the benefits of exercise.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Even more concerning is that statins don’t even work that well for preventing heart attacks, despite all the media hype and your doctor’s advice. You have to treat 50 people with statins to prevent 1 heart attack or treat 890 people to prevent 1 death. That means 889 people are taking statins with no benefit.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When the statins do work, it often has nothing to do with their effect on cholesterol. Some of the touted benefits of statins are that they <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2012/01/27/inflammation-how-to-cool-the-fire-inside-you-thats-making-you-fat-and-diseased/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">lower inflammation </a>and perform like antioxidants in the body.Overall, however, the drawbacks outweigh these and other potential benefits for most people. They may have a little more benefit for those who already have had a heart attack but not much for those who have never had one (which is when most statins are prescribed – before an incident has occurred).</div>

If your doctor is concerned about your cholesterol, you will want to use these seven strategies to optimize lipid levels and your overall health:</div>

Other cholesterol tests are outdated. A regular cholesterol test won’t reveal particle size. The tests to get are either an NMR Lipid Panel from LabCorp or the Cardio IQ Test from Quest Diagnostics. Insist on one of these tests. They are the only way to know what’s really going on with your cholesterol. You want to see results that show lots of safe, light, fluffy, big cholesterol particles. You do not want to see small, dense, artery-damaging cholesterol particles.</li>

If your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio is over 2 you also likely have diabesity. Ask for a glucose-insulin challenge test or an insulin-response test. Most doctors don’t do this test for insulin; they only check glucose. It is performed by checking your glucose and insulin after fasting. Then you drink a 75-gram glucose drink and your insulin and blood sugar are measured again at 1- and 2-hour intervals. You should also ask your doctor to check your hemoglobin A1C, which is a measurement of your blood sugar control over the last six weeks.

“Everyone seems to be talking about fat these days. That fat somehow is good now and can help with weight loss and disease prevention. How can that be true when for decades we all were told that fat was the bad guy? What are its benefits? Are there any downsides to eating more fat?”</div>

Is a recent question I received and it comes at the perfect time. I have just finished writing my new book <a href="http://www.eatfatgetthin.com/affiliate-center.html#" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Eat Fat, Get Thin, </em></a>hitting the bookstores on February 23, 2016. I wrote this book because almost everyone I know – doctors and patients and eaters alike are all confused about fat and still hold on to myths and misinformation that prevents them from taking advantage of the latest science to lose weight and get healthy.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: avenir-regular, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

None of these beliefs about fat are true. In my latest book, I combined the latest research with my several decades of empirical evidence working with patients to prove what I’ve long discovered: The right fats can help you become lean, healthy, and vibrant.</div>

Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks. The average person is made up of between 15 and 30 percent fat! Yet for decades, we’ve unfairly demonized dietary fat, diligently followed a low-fat diet that almost always equates into a <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">high-sugar </em>and <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">high-refined </em>carb diet that contributes to <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/05/20/5-steps-to-reversing-type-2-diabetes-and-insulin-resistance/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">insulin resistance,</a>obesity, <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/05/20/lower-your-risk-of-heart-disease-without-drugs/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">heart disease</a>, type 2 diabetes, and numerous other problems.</div>

Eating lots of the right fat will make you thin.

For now, let’s look at 10 take-home fat facts.</div>

That’s nearly a pound of sugar and flour combined every day! More sugar means your cells become numb to insulin’s “call.” Your body pumps out more and more insulin to pull your blood sugar levels back down. You can’t burn all the sugar you eat. Inevitably, your body stores it as fat, creating <a href="http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/05/20/5-steps-to-reversing-type-2-diabetes-and-insulin-resistance/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">insulin resistance </a>and overall metabolic havoc among other mayhem.</li>

In other words, sugar is sugar is sugar; it all wreaks havoc on your health. Fat is more complex. We have saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and even trans fats, not to mention subcategories within each group. Some fats are good; others neutral; and yes, a few are bad.</li>

As with all fats, quality becomes key here. The fats in a fast-food bacon feedlot cheeseburger will have an entirely different effect than saturated fat in coconut oil. Let’s stop classifying it all as the same.</li>

Ideal ways to get them include eating wild or sustainably raised cold-water fish (at least two servings weekly), buying omega-3 rich eggs, and taking an omega-3 supplement twice a day with breakfast and dinner that contains 500 – 1,000 milligrams of omega-3 fats (a ratio of roughly 300 EPA to 200 DHA is ideal). You’ll find several quality professional omega 3 supplements in <a href="http://store.drhyman.com/Store/Search?Terms=omega+3" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #365e85; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">my store.</a></li>

Without proper blood sugar control, the body socks away fat for a rainy day. The right fats also increase fat burning, cut your hunger, and reduce fat storage. Eating the right fats makes you lose weight, while eating excess sugar and the WRONG types of fat make you fat.</li>

I had one patient with high cholesterol who could not lose weight, so I bumped up her healthy fat content to 70 percent. (I don’t recommend this for most patients; hers was an extreme case.) Her cholesterol plummeting from 300 to 190, her triglycerides dropped 200 points, and she lost 20 stubborn pounds that she couldn’t ever lose before!</li>

That’s because the body uses the fat you eat to build cell walls. You have more than 10 trillion cells in your body, and every single one of them needs high-quality fat. How do you know if your cells are getting the fats they need? Your body sends signals when it’s not getting enough good fats.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman";">You know I love
visiting farms and being close to nature as much as possible. It’s a great way
to ground ourselves and balance ourselves from the technology overload. A lot of people think farms are boring and so you will see from this blog that <a href="http://www.MarisFarms.com/">Maris Farms</a> have captured a vibe of being one of the most fun filled, exciting and entertaining packed farms in the world!!! I was recently visiting Washington State USA and during a Halloween themed weekend I had the opportunity
to visit Maris Farms! It is the Halloween month and so some willing friends gathered and decided we would go get frightened for the night at a Haunted Woods! Here we are, us willing participants with a sense of frightful anticipation for the unknown...</span></div>

get a chance to visit this farm – DO! Right now during this Halloween season
they have an epically fun adventurous “Haunted Woods” which is now a famous
attraction, so known in fact that when we arrived people were lining up for 3
hours!! But it is well worth the wait for a Halloween fright treat! </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Entertainment value included b</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman";">rightly colored lights, dense heavy fogs, and wrenching screams from all angles. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times new roman";">My first
experience of actual live people jumping out and scaring you during a walk through was at Dream World
on the Gold Coast in Australia, about 10 years ago and I remember thinking surely only people with strong hearts and good sense of humor could handle this type of attraction. Maris farms added theirs in 2003 which took the
farm to “legendary status” claims the locals!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are more than 35 sets and 50+ actor types inhabiting a 35-45
minute walk though trail. If you practice meditation you know how challenging
it can be at times to focus and be in the present moment, well this trip
through the haunted woods certainly forces you to be in-the-now! It is an extremely refreshing way to put yourself in the present moment. </span></div>

Earth diet-er Liana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02774126413652752908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957991602586223671.post-70991552459016873972015-09-18T22:45:00.001-04:002015-09-25T17:02:18.146-04:00Shoot for Your Best Health or be UnfulfilledIn this life we should shoot for our best health achievable to each individual - otherwise we will never be satisfied and will live with guilt, shame and regret. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">That sounds terrible I know but that is the reality of many people who live unsatisfied stuck in a rut of eating unfulfilling foods that provide no nutrition to the body at all. We know at a deeper level when we eat foods that are processed and devoid of proper nourishment that something isn't quite right. Junk foods rarely give us lasting fulfillment. The only time when junk foods give us fulfillment is if you live with a great balance of health being immaculate majority of the time and letting junk food pass right through you. However most people when they eat junk food know deep down that they are not doing enough on a daily basis to take care of their health, and hence guilt attaches itself to every junk food binge. I am grateful that I broke a strong addiction to junk foods - a vicious cycle that I was stuck in for 5 years. It ruled my life and now I am completely free of it. I may have other stressors in my life, but health, food and eating is not one of them. When the body is nourished & energized it makes every other issue in life much easier to get through and handled. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I had lots of space to reflect during the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle.</span><br />

<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vLPAQJzvok8/VgHBQusg8kI/AAAAAAAAH4k/slzhXDlF6jg/s640/blogger-image-1888718504.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vLPAQJzvok8/VgHBQusg8kI/AAAAAAAAH4k/slzhXDlF6jg/s400/blogger-image-1888718504.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Ever wondered why it's so easy to over eat on candy, chocolate, chips, breads etc? When those foods hit the stomach and digestive system, they send a signal to the brain 'didn't get nutrition, still hungry, send more food please.' Hence we can overeat on junk foods wondering how on earth did I manage to consume all that? And see its impossible to binge on a bowl full of carrots or broccoli pieces - because our body stops eating when it gets all the nutrition we need. </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many of us have accepted a certain level of suffering and live with it until it gets worse and worse, until it blows up in our face one day. Which is what happened to me after binge eating on junk foods everyday for 5 years and I landed in hospital when my lymphatic system exploded with a tumor. My body forced me to break down and surrender to change. I was once obsessed with being "skinny" and as I sat in hospital hearing these depressing results at age 21 my entire world shifted and my priority became - I would achieve consistent health. Forget wanting to lose weight, I just want to FEEL good. And I wanted to not just feel good a little bit, I wanted to feel good majority of my time. Someway some how I would break the addiction to junk food and over eating and I would achieve a harmony of health, so that I felt healthy from moment to moment to moment. At this point I didn't care what weight I was - my health was taken away from me and all I wanted was to feel good in my body again. My goal changed, and I realized that for the rest of my life I would shoot for the best health I could possibly achieve.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was sick and tired of being unfulfilled and sick of suffering so much which is why I declared to myself that I would eat only foods from the earth for 365 days and call it a blog "The Earth Diet" and here we are. I knew I would travel, study, work and go here and there - yet I was committed that wherever I was in the world I would stick to it - I would stay on course and eat only natural foods, and focus on what nature provided me. That one year did me good, it detoxed my body, cleaned my system of excess toxins, boosted my immune system and healed my body; the tumor dissolved. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Years later I am still traveling the world sharing my story of transformation and assisting others in achieving the same. Last weekend I had the opportunity of attending Bumbershoot music festival at the Seattle space needle! When I heard on the radio what bands were playing I got so excited... The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding, Zedd, Hozier, Flying Lotus, Ben Harper, Bassnectar, Cake... Just to name a few. In fact I since learned that 89 bands played over the 3 days during Labor Day Weekend. Aside from music there was also comedy, film, performing arts, dance, spectacles theatre, visual art, a youngershoot playground, a laser dome, I words & ideas! They also had a silent disco - one of my favorites! A main sponsor for the event was the Center for Infectcious Disease Research "Spreading HOPE to find s CURE." I wrote an article years ago on the possibilities of curing cancer, and received some negative attacks of people saying I was giving people false hope. The thing is hope is a positive emotion that moves people towards healing, whereas a negative emotion felt over a long period of time will lead to dis-ease. </div>

I <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">just love his song "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it."

I happened to be in Seattle during this time for assisting the launch of TigerNuts (Organic Gemini) into Washington State! This is the first year I've visited Washington State and it is really booming with life, nature, organic and greenery. It is known as the Evergreen State! It's an honor to travel around the state and educate people on the newest superfood on the market: TIGERNUTS!! My favorite fact about them is they have the same amount of iron as red meat! Which makes TigerNuts an excellent festival superfood snack! </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Monday I also got to check out the booths! So many incredible options for us to spend our energy (money) on services and people who are creating positive life giving products. A highlight booth for me was Lauren Harkness...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I was drawn to the soothing, empowering and beautiful energy of the handmade pieces by Lauren Harkness. This neck piece in particular! I was so excited to meet the founders, and Lauren and I even named this piece "I AM HEALED" which is a significant affirmation behind a neck piece as much of our communication and empowerment comes from our neck/throat/voice. When I healed the tumor in my neck I approached it from all angles of mind, body and spirit. Every time I wear this piece I will remember the affirmation "I am healed" and be grateful for where I am at with my health. I never want to take my health for granted again. Each one of their pieces represents an affirmation which has power when you wear them. </span></div>

The creator Lauren Harkness says... <i>“For me, making jewelry feels like a dialogue about beauty with women. I love adorning women and seeing their face light up when they put a stunning piece of jewelry on their body. Making things with my hands, creating forms of beauty is a compulsion. It feeds my soul.”</i></div>

Lauren Harkness-Hand Made Luxury is about jewelry as power symbols. A great piece of jewelry can make an outfit, and it will also do MORE than that. You can look at your “Desire Ring” at a party and tap into your feminine power. You can put on a “Dahlia Necklace” and know that you are safe, protected, and sensual.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 1px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Great jewelry ties you to a memory and a place. It will remind you of health, wealth, attraction, and the best that life has to offer.</div>

What does excellent health mean to you? To me it means achieving and then maintaing <b>consistent</b> health. Not the yo-yo binge cycle. I was trapped in a vicious cycle of addiction to junk foods for 5 years and it sucked; suffering is not fun. The best thing is we can end that destructive cycle in every moment, it may take 1,000 recommitment's but it's important to know it's possible. It starts with the awareness of focusing on what Earth provides naturally. </span></span></div>

It's important people nourish their bodies while on the road, especially musicians who are using a lot of energy and brain power. So Nutiva sent them coconut oil, hemp seeds and chia seeds. These are excellent healthy "fast foods" and I literally eat chia and hemp seeds by the spoonful! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">I wasn't sure of the healthy options at the festival, so googled to find out that Chipotle and Wholefoods were close by! I took my friend to them for the first time - it's always exciting to be in the presence of someone who is exploring these places for the first time. We had an epic wrap from Chipotle, and then visited Wholefoods for some goodies. I am so happy that <a href="http://www.organicgemini.com/">TigerNuts</a> have launched into all the Wholefood markets in WA! I got myself a Horchata - strawberry flavor! So delicious and refreshing. Many health benefits too including pre-biotic; great for gut health, and same amount of iron as red meat! </span></div>

I love being able to enjoy great music, while being immersed in the great outdoors, especially being able to pick a cosy spot on the ground - which is well quite grounding! Grounding is especially good for those of us who spend a lot of time inside, on the phone, computer or surrounded by 4 walls. Being in nature more has many benefits. </div>

<br>
1. We breathe in fresh new oxygen. <br>
2. Nature is so vibrant we can't help but feel energized.<br>
3. It is extremely relaxing.<br>
4. We get grounded which rejuvenates.<br>
5. Stress melts away...<br>
<br>
This past weekend I got to attend the Summer Meltdown Festival in Darrington, Washington State! This gathering appealed to me for many reasons including that it's a 4 night outdoor concert with a camping opportunity!<br>
<br>
My weekend started with breakfast in bed, and this particular Saturday was...ice cream! But of course not just any ice cream, this Chocolate coconut milk ice cream by "So Delicious". I write in my book The Earth Diet "Don't get out of bed in the morning unless you are excited about what you get to eat during the day." Plus I include a guide on How-To-Eat-Desserts-Everyday. When we can enjoy both pleasure and nourishment at the same time we are having our cake and eating it too! Poisoning the body with junk food for pleasure is so last century!<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zzqPSYU5vEs/Vc4Ob7YzTlI/AAAAAAAAHyE/t2aQkK8XcOc/s640/blogger-image--1025003661.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zzqPSYU5vEs/Vc4Ob7YzTlI/AAAAAAAAHyE/t2aQkK8XcOc/s640/blogger-image--1025003661.jpg"></a></div><br>My festival makeup consisted of minerals (Ann Marie) that you mix with organic oil for a nice foundation that includes some sun protection.

<br />
The conventional way of taking care of our hair is by washing it with shampoo and conditioners (which are full of a lot of chemicals including preservatives and fragrances), treatments (also full of chemicals), and some people dye it at home or the salon using more chemicals. Plus we often wash our hair in water that is chemically treated with fluoride. Our hair rarely has time to breathe and be incredible. Some people report that their head is itchy and painful after visiting a salon or using hair care - and it doesn't have to be like that. Remember that whatever we put on our skin and hair gets absorbed into our blood stream, our cells and builds our body. Too many chemicals in our cells can cause acidity, inflammation, anxiety, nervous system issues, weakened immune system, burn out, adrenal burn out, depression and weight gain. Remember we are what we eat and we don't need science to know that too many chemicals in our system is not good.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here are some tips for taking care of your hair naturally:</span></b><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>1.</b></span> Buy organic shampoos and conditioners. You may have to test out a few to make sure they work with your hair.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>2.</b></span> If you do dye your hair, check out organic and more natural colors - they actually do work.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>3.</b></span> Get a shower filter for your shower so your hair is absorbing beautiful clean water.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>4.</b></span> Do a bentonite clay hair treatment once per month. Make up a mud mixture and massage it through your hair, leave for 1 hour, it will set hard and then wash out in the shower. This will remove toxins and heavy metals from your hair and scalp. My hair has more volume since I started to do this.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>5.</b></span> Go to a salon that is natural & organic, meaning using organic products. Google "natural salon ..." and your city.<br />
<br />
I have been in Brisbane Australia for the past few weeks launching The Earth Diet book. I googled and found "Naturally Organic Hair Salons". What a relief and how exciting to see a salon like this! They have 3 locations; Chermside, Carindale and Indropilly. I booked in Monday morning - which is a great way to start the week btw especially if you don't particularly enjoy Monday's! They have a stunning modern location in Carindale:<br />

<br />
The thing with organic and natural salons are the prices aren't a huge difference, you might be surprised on how similar the prices are!<br />

<b><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">1. What made you decide to start a business in a natural organic
hair company? </span></b><span style="color: #1e3a68; font-family: Calibri;">I worked in a male dominated industry
in corporate roles for 20 years. Although I wouldn’t consider myself a
girly girl, ie don’t wear nail polish (actually I can’t even file my nails), or
fake tan etc etc, I have only just started cleansing and moisturising my
face. BUT I love hair. I think with great hair you look and feel
incredible. I would get my hair done often but struggled with the way
hair salons worked. So I created the salon I wanted to go to.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">2. What are the worst 3 chemicals people put on their hair
without even knowing, and why1.</span></b><span style="color: #1e3a68; font-family: Calibri;"> 1.The holy
grail in hair colour is the synthetic colour pigment, often known as PPD or
PTD. Some colours are better than others. With the use of ammonia
you need more colour pigment hence why it is not necessarily the ammonia itself
is the problem but the need for more colour pigment. I look all around
the world for leaders in the technology to eliminate the need for a synthetic
colour colour pigment but have only found a couple that are not what you would
be able to use professionally. We choose OCS as it has the smallest amount of
colour pigment I can find on the market and in Australia is distributed by a
health company.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1e3a68; font-family: Calibri;">2. The next I would say is
silicones, they are in most cheap shampoos and conditioners and coat the
hair. We see it all the time. It is the grippy feeling you feel
when running your hand through your hair after you have shampooed and prior to
conditioning. It creates dry nottey hair. 3. The usual
cosmetic concern would be parabens. They are great for shelf life but
there is too much documentation to support parabens role in our not to ignore
that it is one we should be staying away from.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">3. What is the best thing about getting hair done at Naturally
Organic?</span></b><span style="color: #1e3a68; font-family: Calibri;"> Total relaxation, and knowing we
will care for your hair as much as we care for the individual we are
servicing. The staff are genuine caring people not fashionistas.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">4. Can you explain how natural coloring works as a lot of people
don't think it can work! </span></b><span style="color: #1e3a68; font-family: Calibri;">Still works
like a traditional colour just an ammonia replacement that enables us to use
less colour pigments and helps reduce the airborn colour pigments. Then
the things like the preservatives and moisturisers are replaced with gentle
natural ingredients like comfrey and aloe. No real smell, less damage,
less allergies and gentler on the scalp</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<b>7 Reasons why I loved my experience at Naturally Organic Hair Salons:</b><br />
1. They use filtered water!<br />
2. They use re-foil which is recyclable foil. If your salon is NOT using re-foil they are contributing to creating a lot of rubbish on earth - and foil does not easily breakdown.<br />
3. If you cannot afford to go to a salon, but still want to use natural and organic products they sell them at their salons, including selling natural permanent color.<br />
4. When you are getting your hair done they have an incredible variety of herbal teas.<br />
5. They use timber bristle brushes that does not snag on the hair, massages the scalp, you can brush the hair when wet plus is a more sustainably made brush and decomposes better.<br />
6. They used Essence shampoo and conditioner on my hair which was designed by Kevin Murphy who also makes natural styling products.<br />
7. They are a fume free salon!<br />

A few days ago my manager looked at the Earth Diet ranking on Amazon and it was 33,000! Then he looked at it Friday and said you better look at Amazon! When I looked I was really surprised and shocked and so so happy! I cried a bit with so much joy! The Earth Diet was ranked #13 for Health, Diets, Nutrition and Fitness! It made it to #10 for the day and also #3 for new releases! I am so grateful. And this makes me so happy because its so great to see a natural lifestyle book get some momentum!

Really cool. She writes a daily blog www.theearthdietblogs.com/debbieSavesHerLife <div><br></div><div>When we are deficient with magnesium we can find it hard to relax and lose weight. We are often stressed and anxious. Magnesium relaxes our body and makes us feel so so good. When we are nourished with magnesium we can sleep like a baby! Foods that include magnesium are cacao powder (raw chocolate), Brazil nuts, dark leafy greens like kale, pumpkin seeds, cashews, flaxseeds, fish for meat eaters, bananas and strawberries. If you wonder why you crave chocolate so much - you could be craving the magnesium and that feel good sensation. </div><div><br></div><div>I had a huge glass of alkaline water - I said thank you and appreciated clean beautiful water. <br><div><br></div><div>Then had back to back coaching another client who is treating her MS. When treating MS eat a lot of foods with amino acids like quinoa, peanuts, Brazil nuts and eggs and fish for meat eaters. And lots of water! My client is on a total health plan for it that incorporates much more. </div><div><br></div><div>Then I made my usual superfood smoothie! </div><div><br></div><div>After that I had a couple tablespoons of hemps seeds for some protein. </div><div><br></div><div>Then I had some meetings and later went to NY Hair Co to get my hair done organically ;) event tomorrow - the Navel Walk in Huntington. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q7shaLTVMfQ/VDiow17hqDI/AAAAAAAAHYM/YumG36t0iU4/s640/blogger-image-704982768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q7shaLTVMfQ/VDiow17hqDI/AAAAAAAAHYM/YumG36t0iU4/s640/blogger-image-704982768.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">NY Hair Co always have fresh flowers - and a little note about how they are green and sustainable! </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-b9FsjKSqUVA/VDirFrdjVMI/AAAAAAAAHZA/BiefH4rB73M/s640/blogger-image--727623291.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-b9FsjKSqUVA/VDirFrdjVMI/AAAAAAAAHZA/BiefH4rB73M/s640/blogger-image--727623291.jpg"></a></div></div><div><br></div><div>It's amazing how we can live in a modern world and be able to live a natural lifestyle. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--t75RQ8TAmk/VDirAB0JWaI/AAAAAAAAHYo/3PfCZmJM7lg/s640/blogger-image-1695956305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--t75RQ8TAmk/VDirAB0JWaI/AAAAAAAAHYo/3PfCZmJM7lg/s640/blogger-image-1695956305.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I was so happy to spot this sunflower in NYC!

A common thing showing up in all the sessions are "You want to affirm before eating or drinking anything - that you are doing it to nourish your body." There is no other reason for eating or drinking, not for sabotaging. And if a client does eat junk food and it's done - here is what I recommend - Before or after eating junk food affirm that your intention is to nourish your body so anything you put into it is to do just that! This will help the digestion process. And then have a lemon water and fresh vegetable juice to get rid of those toxins. <div><br></div><div>When we always keep in mind that we are eating for nourishment - it changes all our choices.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is what I nourished myself with the past few days!</div><div><br></div><div>Tuesday morning started with these 3 power drinks!
