Better Sleep Formula: This is a wonderful formula for anyone who is having trouble sleeping and/or cannot relax. When the Stress Response is out of balance the body will have trouble relaxing and your natural sleep patterns will be disrupted. The Better Sleep Formula allows the body and nervous system to relax naturally so you can get a deep REM sleep and wake up refreshed in the morning.
Magnesium: This is a naturally occurring mineral in the body. Magnesium is important for many systems in the body, especially for the muscles, nerves, bones and the heart.Valerian: Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least the times of ancient Greece and Rome. Its therapeutic uses were to treat nervousness, trembling, headaches and insomnia. Valerian helps the body to relax naturally.Inositol: This is a naturally occurring nutrient classified as a carbocyclic polyol. In the human body, inositol plays a major role in preventing fats in the liver. Inositol also aids in efficient processing of nutrients into the conversion of energy, which in turn helps the body maintain a healthy metabolism. A healthy metabolism is crucial for balancing the Stress Response. One of the main reasons inositol is in the Sleep Formula; it’s considered a brain food, as it is a necessary nutrient to properly nourish the brain.Melatonin: Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland, a small gland in the brain that helps regulate our body’s internal clock. Melatonin is essential to regulate our circadian rhythm (our natural cycle of sleep and waking hours). Natural melatonin levels decline gradually with age. Some adults produce very little melatonin or none at all. Without adequate melatonin the body cannot rest properly. Melatonin has also been shown to strengthen the immune system. The Better Sleep Formula should be taken 30 minutes before going to bed. It can be used by anyone who is having trouble sleeping. I recommend clients in the Third Cycle of Health and above to use it daily. You should never combine this formula with any type of sleeping medication. Talk to your doctor if you are taking any anti-depressant medication.
Cort-Lean Formula: It is a complete stress management formula that gives you adrenal support. Cortisol Control aids the body’s ability in handling and recuperating from stress. I use this formula for anyone with symptoms of an unbalanced Stress Response.Ashwaganda Root: Ashwaganda contains flavonoids and many active ingredients that aid general health. Several studies over the past few years have indicated that ashwaganda has anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, antioxidant, mind boosting and rejuvenating properties.N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Many nutrients have been studied for their potential in supporting brain health in older adults. N-Acetyl-L-Carntine is one of those nutrients. N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects neurons from oxidative stress. It also benefits mitochondrial efficiency and functions as an antioxidant within the mitochondria, helping neurons maintain optimal energy levels.Siberian Ginseng Root: Has been used for centuries in Eastern countries, including China and Russia. Siberian Ginseng is prized for its ability to restore vigor, increase longevity, enhance overall health, and stimulate memory. In Russia Siberian Ginseng has been used to help the body adapt to stressful conditions and to enhance productivity. Rhodiola: This plant has a history of medicinal use dating back to ancient Greece. Rhodiola is also known as arctic rose, it has been shown to increase the body’s resistance to a variety of stress, such as chemical, biological and physical stressors. Rhodiola has been shown to prevent a drop in critical hormones such as IGF-1, dopamine and thyroid hormones and blunts the catabolic hormone cortisol.Phosphatidylserine (PS): This is a fatty chemical (phospholipids) found in cell membranes and nervous tissue and primarily maintains cell structure and function. PS is made mainly from soybeans. Research shows PS can significantly lower levels of adrenocorticotropin hormones and cortisol, elevated during prolonged periods of stress. PS has been especially effective at improving mental function and promoting feeling of well-being. Cortisol Control Formula can benefit the health of anyone who has high stress in his or her life. For those in the Second Cycle of Health 35 years of age and above can benefit from this formula. Recommended dose 1 cap in the a.m. with breakfast and 1-2 caps p.m. with dinner.
Fat Burner and Sugar Blocker Formula: This is a specialty formula I created for glucose management, appetite control, and to help reduced food cravings. I have added chromium picolinate for insulin management to allow the body to burn fat more efficiently. I have also added two different types of fiber for glucose management and to drastically reduce the appetite while lowering cholesterol. The Fat Burner/ Sugar Blocker also has three ingredients that work together to regulate the blood sugar levels. These are the main ingredients:
Chromium Picolinate: This is important for helping the body to maintain optimal insulin performance a key hormone in the Stress Response.Glucomannan (Amorphophallus Konjac Root): This is the main ingredient in the Fat Burner/Sugar Blocker. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber that is derived from the Asian konjac root. When mixed with water, it expands up to 50 times its original volume. This aspect gives Glucomannan tremendous benefits: It curbs hunger and the appetite by filling the stomach and giving a feeling of “fullness”, causing you to consume less calories. Glucomannan also delays stomach emptying, slowing the digestion and absorption of all nutrients, including carbohydrates, which leads to more stable blood sugar levels and prevents major spikes in insulin. This all aids in keeping the Stress Response in balance. The other great affect of glucomannan is that it binds to bile acids and carries them out of the body ( through evacuation). This prompts the body to convert more cholesterol into bile acids and results in lower levels of blood cholesterol and other fats, which helps prevent weight gain.Psyllium Husk: This is one of the more popular fibers and is the main ingredient in most fiber supplements. The reason psyllium has been recognized as an excellent means of getting more dietary fiber into a persons diet is due to its high fiber count in comparison to other grains. For example Oat Bran is a good source of fiber, it has about 5 grams of fiber per third cup as supposed to psyllium husk, which has 71 grams of fiber per the same third cup.
Fat Metabolizing Formula: I created this formula to give the body maximum potential of burning fat for energy without any negative side effects of stimulates. It contains the following ingredients:
Forskolin: Is the active compound in the herb coleus forskohlii, a member of the mint family, forskolin enhances fat loss by activating the enzyme adenylate cyclase. This leads to a cascade of events including activation of the hormone-sensitive lipoprotein lipase, which allows fat stored in the fat cells to be broken down so it can be used as fuel. A study from the University of Kansas (Lawrence) found that over-weight men who took forskolin for 12 weeks lost considerable more body fat than the placebo group. Forskolin has also been shown to play a major role in a variety of important cellular functions including, inhibiting histamine release, relaxing muscles, increasing thyroid function and most important increasing fat burning activity.L-Carnitine: Carnitine is derived from an amino acid and is found in nearly all cells of the body. Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports fat into the cells mitochondria so it can be burned to produce energy. It can be found in avocados, dairy products and red meats (especially lamb and beef).Green Tea: Green tea contains compounds called catechins, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the primary active ingredient responsible for the tea’s fat burning effects. Green tea does contain some caffeine, which is also great for fat burning; its major fat burning effect comes from the EGCG. EGCG has the ability to inhibit an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter involved in regulating metabolic rate and fat burning. Green tea also provides numerous other health benefits everything from relieving headaches to lowering cholesterol.Quercetin: This is the most abundant of the favanoids. Quercetin has many health promoting effects, including improvement of cardiovascular health and reducing the risk for cancer. Quercetin has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. All these activities are caused by the strong antioxidant action of quercetin.
Men’s Hormone Support Formula: This is one of the most complete formulas created for men to maintain their sexual health and youthful exuberance. This formula helps males to naturally maintain healthy testosterone levels. Testosterone is the key to maintain muscle and healthy Biomarkers. The Men’s Hormone Support Formula also contains ingredients that increase blood flow, which is the key for strong erections and cardiovascular health. The Men’s Hormone Support Formula contains ingredients to protect the prostate making it a complete male formula.
Pantothenic Acid: This is a water-soluble vitamin, B-5. Pantothenic acid is required to sustain life making it an essential nutrient. Pantothenic Acid is needed to form coenzyme-A (CoA), which is critical for the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.Zinc, Magnesium Aspartate (ZMA): Testosterone is the key hormone that keeps us males young and enthusiastic to live life. Zinc is critical for testosterone production. When you combine zinc and magnesium aspartate (ZMA) it has been shown to naturally increase anabolic hormones levels, including free testosterone and IGF-1 (a key for growth hormone). ZMA helps the body to recuperate from stress and replenish its natural hormone levels.L-Arginine: Arginine enhances the production of nitric oxide (NO), a crucial compound that helps improve blood flow. NO is key to strong erections and cardiovascular health. In clinical studies, arginine has also been found to significantly raise growth hormone levels. Research data show notable strength and muscle improvement in subjects who exercised, which improves the Biomarkers and decreases fat.Muira Puama: This is a small Brazilian tree that grows across the Amazon River basin. Muira Puama has longed been used as an aphrodisiac. It has been shown to increase sexual function and is also know as “Potency Wood”. Avena Sativa: Is a scientific name for a grass commonly known as oats. Avena Sativa extract has been shown to free up bound testosterone in the blood making it more bioavailable for use in the body. Avena Sativa has also been used as an erection enhancer to increase sexual performance.Tribulus Terrestris Extract: Tribulus enhances the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulates the testes to produce more testosterone. Tribulus, otherwise known as puncturevine, is an herb that has an active ingredient called protodiosein. Studies have shown that this ingredient prompts the brain to release more LH thus naturally increasing testosterone. Testosterone the key hormone to promote muscle gains and fat loss.
Stress Management Formula: When we get stressed out one the first symptoms we feel is that we notice ourselves getting tired. The combinations of the B vitamins are critical for producing energy as well as the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates and fat. The B complex also offers other benefits such as proper nerve and immune function. The Stress Management Formula also contains vitamin C and extra folic acid. The vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects immune system cells from damage and allows them to work more efficiently. The Folic Acid is a B vitamin also known as folate and is critical for the production and maintenance of new cells such as muscle cells. Folate also plays an important role in the conversion of arginine to nitric oxide (NO). This is so important because Nitric Oxide relaxes and dialates blood vessels to prevent heart disease and strokes. The Stress Management Formula has twice as much folate as other B supplements for this reason. I Recommend it for anyone with elevated homocysteine levels, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. I also recommend it for anyone in the second cycle of health and above. Take one tab in the morning with breakfast.
Women’s Hormone Support Formula: This formula is a great support formula for women who are postmenopausal. It can help with hot flashes and more important with bone density by slowing bone loss. This is also a great formula for woman who suffers from menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps).
Ipriflavone: This is a synthetic isoflavone, which is used to inhibit bone resorption and help the body maintain its bone density. Ipriflavone can help to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal woman. It slows down the action of osteoclasts (bone-eroding cells) allowing the osteoblasts (bone=building cells) to build up bone mass.Dong Quai Root: This is an herb that is closely related to celery. Dong Quai can help with menstrual disorders such as cessation of menstruation, pain that accompanies menstruation including headaches that are common with dysmenorreha. Dong Quai has also been shown to help postmenopausal symptoms of dryness and hot flashes.Soy Isoflavone: These are naturally present in the soybean. Research has shown that soy isoflavone can ease postmenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, while increasing bone density. Also important for menopausal woman, soy has been shown to increase cardiovascular health by inhibiting the growth of the cells that form artery-causing plaque.Black Cohosh: This is a member of the buttercup family. Black Cohosh has been shown to effectively relieve the menopausal symptoms of hot flashes. Woman Hormone Support Formula is recommended to postmenopausal woman and woman who suffer from dysmenorreha (painful menstruation). For postmenopausal take 1-2 caps in the morning with a meal. For woman with menstrual disorders take 1-2 caps as needed for the symptoms do not take daily. Avoid this supplement if you have a history of breast cancer or taking blood thinners.
