4 Influential Hormones:

·       Leptin- discovered in 1994, it was found that our fat cells actually produce a hormone, this tells us we are full and we don’t need to eat anything else.

·       Cortisol- ramps you up, prepares you for fight or flight, run from it or kill it response, provide glucose/blood sugar for response.

·       Insulin- beta cells, push glucose/blood sugar into cells if the cells don’t need it glucose is stored as fat, the key is storage as fat.

·       Glucagon- alpha cells, converts fat for energy, when insulin is low glucagon is high, the key is usage of fat.

1 Solution: Detoxification

1) A good detoxification program obviously needs to be developed around the cleansing of the whole body and in particular the main detoxification systems and organs. These systems and organs include the hepatic (liver), lymph, skin, kidneys and blood.

2) A whole food product containing our daily requirement of vegetables is important to a good detoxification program. A green food product will provide the nutritional needs that are necessary on a daily basis and most green foods are natural detoxifiers so they will support the above cleansing and detoxification.

3) A good whole food fiber will be very beneficial to your cleansing and weight loss program. It will help move the bowels for elimination and maintain a toned and healthy lining of the gastrointestinal tract.

4) Last but not least is the much needed whole food supplement. It should offer a balance of essential nutrients in a highly bio-available form supplying the body with the needed vitamins and minerals.
