The BIGGEST problems with diets
• Diet plans are not designed biochemically for
the individual
• Diet plans are not for your metabolic type
• Allopathic approaches to nutrients,
secondary concern for other organ system,
dysfunction adrenal, endocrine, enzyme
metabolism, etc.

MOST RECENT DIET PLANS MAY NOT BE
NATURAL FOR HUMANS
The U on a Diet, Abs Diet, South Beach, Atkins, etc…all
miss the problem with the way Americans view food,
which is BEIGE, OVER COOKED, PROCESSED,
PRESERVED

6 FOUNDATIONS OF HEALTH
1. Thoughts/Emotions – only ~2% of 70,000/day positive and
92% of thoughts sub conscious
2. Breathing Habits – Diaphragmatic breaths stimulate
parasympathetic nervous system
3. Hydration – 3% dehydration = 20% decrease in
performance if life and sports
4. Food – you are what you eat! Eat for your biochemistry and
metabolic type
5. Sleep – Sleep 8 hours to balance cortisol, recover physically
and mentally
6. Exercise – exercise for increase growth hormone, posture
stability, and strength

Who are you?
• Fear and Ego
▫ Fear that you might have to change and that is scary
▫ Ego says do what works and if it works a little do more
• Being healthy is taking responsibility for one’s self.
▫ Don’t sabotage your life, don’t prostitute your body for work or
anything/one!
• Your ability to choose is a mental activity that
directly influences your well-being because thoughts
have energetic properties.
▫ You need to be ‘in shape to really think’ because deep thought
requires that much energy
• What you choose to eat and how you choose to
exercise dramatically influences how you interpret
life’s events and ultimately how you live.
▫ Are you a human being or a human doing. Sometimes just being
in a place in your mind is the exact exercise you need that day.

Breath Test
Take a deep breath
8/16/2012
11
How many breaths do you take in a min?
Did you use your diaphragm?
How did you do?
Good breathing 10-12 breaths/min = 14,400/day
Stressed 14-18/min=25,920/day
Calm breathing 6-8 breaths = 10,080/day
More you breath the more transpiration of water out of your
body cause increased dehydrated.

Hydration
• Drink ½ your bodyweight in Ounces of high
quality water
• =/> 300 ppm TDS
• Hardness =/> 170 mg/L
• pH 7 or Greater
• Filter your Tap water and store in glass or
stainless steel container
• Top Brands –(Fiji, Vovic, Evian, Etc)

You Are What You Eat
Organic vs. Commercial Produce
Mineral Vegetables Fruit
Magnesium -60% -90%
Iron -80% -70%
Copper -20% -60%
Sodium -60% -90%
Potassium -90% -80%
8/16/2012

You would need to eat >3x’s as much commercial produce to
equal the Nutrients, Vitamins, and Minerals of 1 serving of
organic produce!
If organic is 2x’s as expensive has >3x’s the nutrients and zero
pollutants, chemicals, and fertilizers, then how is it not worth it?

Secondary Nutrients
• There are 5,000-10,000 secondary compounds
in plants (aka secondary metabolites or
phytonutrients) and many of them are ‘fat
soluble!’
• The four categories:
1. Phenolics
2. Terpenes
3. Alkaloids
4. Sulphur-containing compounds

Quck Review of Your Results
8/16/2012
26

So Why Do Most Diets Fail?
• We blame ourselves and not the diet - Many diets fail in the long run
because humans naturally want to blame themselves for the short-comings
of the actual diet plan. We tend to tell ourselves that, “the diet didn’t work
because that one night I cheated and had ice cream, a beer, etc,” whatever,
you fill in the blank. If the diet was truly for your unique biochemistry than
you may not have the urge to cheat and you could be living a truly healthy
lifestyle 80% of the time and the other 20% cheat without much changing
in your progression.
• Most diets are ‘Nutritionism’ or Multi-Level Nutrition Marketing
Scams – Yes, everyone needs some sort of supplementation because even
the best foods are not as nutritious as the used to be and our lifestyle may
affect the absorption and assimilation of the foods we eat.
• You MUST rely on food not supplements to thrive – Human will do
anything to survive, but this course is about thriving and ONLY high
quality foods for your type and specific for you are your primary concern.

Metabolic Typing
• Protein Type – Fast Oxidizing of carbohydrates
▫ Must use protein and fats to balance blood sugar
▫ Must supplement Calcium to balance acidity
• Carbohydrate Type – Slow Oxidizing of
carbohydrates
▫ Must stay away from fatty foods because it will slow
them down more
▫ Must supplement Potassium to balance alkalinity
• Mixed Type – Mixed/Changing Oxidation
▫ Must constantly balance meals
▫ Must remain in balanced acidity/alkalinity

Proportion Sizes
1. Don’t Stress Out about the sizes, weights,
quantities, etc.
2. Concentrate on the what your body is telling
you
3. Rule of Thumb:
▫ Protein = Size of your palm without fingers
▫ Carbs = Size of your Fist
▫ Fats = the Circular Size between your index
finger and thumb
8/16/2012
37

Planning to Lose Weight
• BREAKFAST – ORGANIC EGGS, FRESH ORGANIC FRUITS AND
VEGGIES (ACCORDING TO METABOLIC TYPE)
• SNACKS – CUCUMBERS, CELERY WITH AVACADO, NUTS,
TUNA IN A LETTUCE WRAP
• LUNCH- SALAD WITH PROTEIN, SPROATED BREAD WITH
FREE-RANGE ORGANIC MEAT SANDWICHES (NOT COLD
CUTS)
• DINNER – JUST EAT PROTEIN (FISH, BEEF, PORK, LAMB,
CHICKEN, BISON, FOWL) AND VEGETABLES, THEN BRUSH
YOUR TEETH
8/16/2012
38

Proteins
• Vitamin A and D are found only in animal fat
 Beta Carotene needs bile to convert to Vitamin A
• Cholesterol is an important nutrient
▫ Mother’s milk is 55% cholesterol (how much is in formula?)
• Many Nutrients are better absorbed from or in
the presence of animal products
▫ Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu
• B6 is available mostly in animal products
• Usable B12 is available only in animal product
▫ B12 is almost completely destroyed by pasteurization
8/16/2012
39

Carbohydrates
• The only source of energy for your nervous system
• Organic Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, and Bean up to 40X
more nutrients and secondary nutrients
• Eat mostly raw or lightly cooked to preserve enzymes
and nutrients
• Ground Vegetables tend to be high-glycemic, so choose
lower-glycemic above ground plants
• Fiber, both soluble and insoluble, assists digestion,
elimination, and detoxification
• Fiber, lowers blood fats, balances blood sugar, improves
energy and immunity
• Fiber should come primarily from veggies not grains
8/16/2012
40

Fats
• Trans-fatty acid cause cancer and
heart disease (hydrogenated oils)
• LA (linoleic acid) and LNA
(linolenic acid) must be acquired
from diet
▫ From these two fatty acids, our
bodies can make all the rest
• Alpha omega -3 fatty acids balance
the 6’s
▫ eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
▫ docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
Cooking with Oils
Always use unrefined organic oil
No Heat (up to 120  F)
• Flax seed oil
• Borage oil
• Hemp seed oil
• Cod liver oil
Low Heat (up to 212  F)
• Safflower oil
• Sunflower oil
• Pumpkin oil
Medium Heat (325  F) light sautéing
• Sesame oil
• Pistachio oil
• Hazelnut oil
• Olive oil
High Heat (375  F) Frying, browning
• Coconut oil
• Ghee (clarified butter)
• Palm oil
• Lard
• Butter

Guess who ate ‘White Devils’?
8/16/2012
42

“White Devils”-Dr. Weston A. Price
• Processed Sugar is considered a poison to most
psychologists, biochemists, and endocrinologists
much like cocaine
▫ Average American has 120 lbs of sugar per year
• Processed Wheat Flour has higher glycemic index
than straight sugar
• Processed High Fructose Corn Syrup has causes
metabolic syndrome by blocking insulin
• Un-sproated Grains have Phytic acid that is present
in the bran of all grains, the coating of nuts and
seeds and inhibits the absorption of calcium,
magnesium, iron, copper and zinc
8/16/2012
43

How Sweet It Is?
• Acrylamide- browned potato sugar none carcinogen
▫ 0.5 ppb carcinogenic
▫ 400 ppb in a small French fry
• Aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful) –
excitotoxin kills brains cells, systemic lupus, MS,
Alzheimer’s
▫ Average victim had 3 diet drinks a day
• Sucurolose (Splenda)-organochlorines are same
chemical family as pesticide and nerve gas
▫ Attacks your thymus gland cause adverse side effects
• Sacharrrin (Sweet n Low)- know bladder cancer
causing sweetener
8/16/2012
45

Fat Facts
• Year 1920 – heart disease becomes apparent in
USA, 1912 Dr.’s suggest hydrogenated vegetable
oils to blame, Lobbyists blame unsaturated
animal fats
▫ 1910 people ate 83% of fats from animals
▫ 1970 people ate 62% of fats from animals
▫ Yet Cholesterol only up 1%
• By 1970 Butter consumption down from 18 lbs to
just 4 lbs per person per year
• Yet presently heart disease and cholesterol
linked to 40-60% of all deaths in USA
▫ Since 1970 refine vegetable oil, processed sugar, processed
corn products, processed grains up 400%!
• One would think if unsaturated fats from
animals caused heart disease and high
cholesterol than animal fat consumption would
of gone up, but it has not.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU DRINK?
The human body is designed to drink 2 substances
1. Breast Milk
After breast fed never need milk again!
Comprised of 55% cholesterol, cow’s milk only 20%
2. Clean Water
Top Brands –(Fiji, Vovic, Evian, Etc) RECYCLE!!!
Juices
 Raises blood sugar, fructose raises cholesterol
 Lacks nutrients found in pulp
 Lack dietary fiber
 Pasteurization kills the juice and enzymes
Alcohol is directly absorbed into blood through stomach
 Raises blood sugar level
 Replaces water in blood
 Alcohol dehydrogenase enzymatic breakdown of alcohol produce
acetate (a none toxin to your liver)
 Metabolizing acetate shunts lipid digestion, or fat metabolism (1 oz
alcohol = 20 hour shunt of fat metabolism)

Stress
• Dr. Hans Selye’s Definition of Stress (1926)
“Stress is the body’s nonspecific response to a
demand placed on it.”
▫ Distress – negative stressors
▫ Eustress – positive stressors
▫ Neutrals – stressor that by themselves are neither
positive or negative
8/16/2012
55
Most stressors fall into the Neutrals when the distressors
are handled and not avoided!

Stress
• No one can live without experiencing some
degree of stress all the time. You may think that
only serious disease or intensive physical or
mental injury can cause stress. This is false.
Crossing a busy intersection, exposure to a draft,
or even sheer joy are enough to activate the
body's stress-mechanism to some extent. Stress
is not even necessarily bad for you; it is also the
spice of life, for any emotion, any activity causes
stress. (Selye 1926)

HPA Axis
•The hypothalamic-pituitary-
adrenal axis is a complex set of
interactions between the
hypothalamus (a part of the brain),
the pituitary gland (also part of the
brain) and the adrenal or
suprarenal glands (at the top of
each kidney.)
•The HPA axis helps regulate things
such as your temperature,
digestion, immune system, mood,
sexuality and energy usage.
•It's also a major part of the system
that controls your reaction to
stress, trauma and injury.

Emotion, Glands and Their Effects
• Thyroid – Hypothyroidism
▫ Negative Thoughts - feeling victimized, unfulfilled, left
out, “I never get to do what I want to do”, “when is it
going to be my turn”
• Thymus – decreased production of Thymosin
to mature killer T-lymphocytes (T-cells)
▫ Long feelings of not safe or protected, attacked by life,
fear others are out to get you
• Pancreas – Hypoglycemia and Type-II
Diabetes
▫ Feelings of rejection, anger, frustration, loss of joy
• Adrenals – Adrenal Fatigue not
Hypothyriodism
▫ Feeling pressure, 'on the go’, and never enough time
8/16/2012
67

Adrenal Fatigue
• Stage 1 – The first stage, which is called hyper-adrenalism, is characterized by
abnormally high cortisol levels and subnormal DHEA levels. With the high cortisol
levels you may still have energy, perhaps too much, and you may not be sleeping well
or restfully. You may be losing muscle mass because cortisol cannibalizes muscle for
energy resulting in weakness. It may also cause moon face and weight gain around
the trunk as well as fluid retention and glucose intolerance. Cortisol decreases
serotonin levels which may cause depression, it also decreases melatonin levels
which adds to poor sleep. It is also immunosuppressive which may result in frequent
infections and illness. High cortisol can cause hot flushes in women which is often
considered only an estrogen deficient symptom. Sugar cravings, confusion and
muscle weakness may also occur.
• Stage 2 –is where cortisol supplies have finally run low but have not run out yet. For
a year or so cortisol and DHEA will hover in the low-normal range leaving you
feeling tired and stressed, but functional.
• Stage 3- is where cortisol and DHEA levels are low for most of the day leaving you
with low energy levels. Common signs and symptoms of adrenal exhaustion include:
inability to tolerate exercise, depression, dark circles under the eyes, lack of mental
alertness, headaches, edema, salt and/or sugar cravings, feeling tired all the time,
mentally and emotionally overstressed, light headedness, heartburn, low blood
pressure, recurrent infections and trouble sleeping.

Mercury in retrograde
•Communications go awry - phone calls, letters, emails,
faxes, conversations are delayed, misinterpreted, blocked.
•Recheck everything like appointment times, spelling,
wording, the words you say.
•Anticipate detours - memory lapses, confusion, failing to
listen, failing to confirm, negotiation failures, changing of
plans.
•Avoid signing documents, contracts if possible. You can
wait 3 weeks, hopefully.
•Expect travel delays, car trouble, delayed plane
schedules, reservations that suddenly becoming
"missing", transportation difficulties of all kinds.
•Expect problems with messages, books, letters,
magazines, documents, neighbors and the near
environment.
•BACK up your computer files! This is the time the
screen goes blank and there is nothing there! Expect the
phone lines, cable lines, power lines to have problems.

Why calorie restriction never works!
Disrupts hormones
increases insulin, cortisol
which over activates
sympathetic nervous system
and adrenal exhaustion
Disrupts enzyme
activity decreases lypolytic
(fat burning) enzymes and
increases lypogenic (fat
storing) enzymes
Decreases muscle mass
decreases metabolic rate
Syndrome – X
insulin resistance
8/16/2012
82

Skipping meals
• Hormonal response to increase insulin because
body thinks it’s in famine
▫ Insulin forces your body to store energy
 If you are active you store energy in your muscles as
glycogen
 If you are inactive you store energy in your fat cells
 Inactivity makes your muscles insensitive to insulin
causing more energy to be stored as fat
• Eating too many carbohydrates has same
response
• Skipping just one meal increases the release of
lipogenic (fat storing) enzymes
8/16/2012

Digestion
• Organs
▫ Appestat and Adipostat
▫ Mouth
▫ Stomach
▫ Small Intestine
▫ Pancreas
▫ Gall Bladder
▫ Liver
▫ Colon
8/16/2012
84

Appestat and Adipostat
• Hypothalamus
8/16/2012
85
• 51 nutrients are needed to
satisfy your appestat to tell you
that you are full
•Adipostat needs enough good
fatty acids to tell you are full
•Together these sensors will tell
you that you are getting enough
nutrients and fats
Food for Thought: Processed food lack
nutrients and fat, maybe that is why we
over eat?

Mouth
• Chewing – turns food
into smaller pieces for
the stomach
• Saliva – mixes with
food to breakdown
carbs
“Drink your Food,
Eat your Water!”
8/16/2012
86

Stomach
• Hydrochloric Acid 0.2 to 0.5 pH
▫ kills fungus and bacteria
▫ Stimulated by salt (not sodium
chloride)
• Pepsinogen to Pepsin
▫ Pepsin breaks down proteins
into proteoses, peptones, and
polypeptides
• Gastric Lipase
▫ Emulsified fats (triglycerides)
broken down to fatty acids and
glycerol
• Intrinsic Factor (Vitamin B12
Absorption)
8/16/2012
87

Small Intestine
Duodenum
• Bile and Pancreatic Juice
alkaline the acid with sodium
bicarbonate
• 3 Proteases breakdown
proteins further
• Lipase (steapsin) splits fats
• Amylase breaks down
starches, dextrins, and
glycogen
• Nucleinases and Nucleotidases
finish the protein breakdown
to polypeptides
Jejunum
• 21+ feet long where all food is
absorbed into the body
• Final digestion of
carbohydrates occurs in
mucosa of villi
• Free fatty acids are combined
with lymph fluid to form Chyle
which circulates to veins
8/16/2012
88

Small Intestine
Vitamin and Mineral
Absorption
NEEDS:
• Good Hydrochloric Acid in
stomach for ionization
• Sufficient Protein for amino
acids in duodenum
▫ Charged ions of vitamins and
minerals bond with amino
acids and are absorbed with
amino acids.

IF YOU DON’T GET ALL YOUR AMINO ACIDS
IN THEN YOU DON’T ABSORB YOUR
EXPENSIVE VITAMINS!

Large Intestine (Colon)
• 5-6 feet long x 3 inches
diameter
• Houses trillions of bacteria
both good and bad 85% good
and 15 % bad in a healthy
person
• Feces timing, size, consistency,
and color can elude overall
health

POOP!!!
• You should poop 12 inches a
day
▫ Can be all at once or a few
times a day
• You should poop at the same
time everyday
• Your poop should pass easily
• Your poop shouldn’t stink
• Your poop should be light
brown and fluffy

Poopie Line-up and Poopie Policeman
1. Mr. Sinker & Stinker – toxic bowel, meds, processed foods
2. Olympic Swimmer – Too much fat, HCL or bile deficiency
3. Bodybuilder – dehydrated foods, powder, shakes
4. Pellet Man – Dehydration of body
5. Diarrhella – detoxify your diet
6. Flasher – food intolerance or inflammation disorder

Bacteria in you Gut!
Facts
• Good Bacteria produce B1, B2,
B3, B5, B6, Vitamins A and K
(potassium)
• They also produce lactic acid
as a byproduct that helps
contract the muscles of the
colon for peristalsis
• Too much unfriendly bacteria
disrupt peristalsis and back up
your colon, which becomes
toxic
Probiotics
• Eli Metchnikoff Nobel prize
winner discovered the
microfauna
• Prevention of
▫ Colon cancer -amines
▫ Lower cholesterol -bile
▫ Lower blood pressure- ACE
inhibitor
▫ Increases Immune System –
increase IgA, lowers IgE,
IgG, IgM and others
▫ Decrease Dental Caries
▫ Increase mineral absorption
▫ Decrease inflammation

If you have experienced any of the following situations in
the last 6 months, you may benefit from a probiotic
replenishment course:
▫ Being sick (cold, flu, strep throat, etc.)
▫ Being under stress (this can be either positive OR
negative stress, such as getting married or losing your job)
▫ Taking certain antibiotics
▫ Other immune compromising factors

Problems with Digestion
Other Problems
include:
• Acid Reflux – too LITTLE HCl is
being produced
• Flatulence – Too little HCl, food
combining, legumes
• Celiac Disease – chronic
inflammation of the gut, stop eating
gluten forever!
• Ulcers – high fiber diet, test for H.
pylori bacteria
• Gallbladder – find fats/oils in feces,
may supplement bile salts, wrong
MT
Digestive healing may
include:
▫ Enzyme therapy
▫ Gallbladder/liver cleanse
▫ Colon cleanse
▫ Re-population of
probiotics
▫ Eating right for your MT
for 120+ days
8/16/2012
96

Digestive Health Actions
• Drink 1-2 Glasses of water 15
minutes prior to each meal
• Avoid processed foods and foods
that are enzyme/nutrient deficient
• If Digestion is poor, test for food
allergy/intolerance
• Use digestive enzymes as needed
(HCL deficient)
• Beware of Phytic Acids and Enzyme
inhibitors in seeds and grains
• Chew your foods until liquefied
• If digestion is challenged, eat
smaller meal more frequently
• Whenever possible, start meals with
live foods for enzyme support
(salad, papaya, and pineapples first)
• Avoid consuming more liquid than
needed to wash foods down while
eating
• Avoid all stressful situations while
eating
▫ Don’t watch the news
▫ Play relaxing music
• Those with digestive troubles should
NOT read while eating, vision is
very energy demanding. Eyes are
reflexively linked to digestion.
• Good digestion depends on good
bowel habits
• Use unprocessed sea salt as needed,
this supports HCL production
• Exercise stimulates digestion and
metabolism
▫ People who don’t move enough
tend to get constipated
• Avoid dehydrated food unless fully
rehydrated

▫ Alcohol, caffeine, artificial
preservatives, colorings, and
flavorings
▫ Medications, hormones, antibiotics
▫ Chemicals from fertilizers,
pesticides, herbicides, etc

chemicals dumped in public
sewage
▫ Over 1,000,000,000 lbs of
chemicals released into the ground,
threatening ground water
▫ Over 188,000,000 lbs of chemicals
discharged into surface water
▫ Over 2,400,000,000 lbs of air
emissions pumped into
atmosphere
▫ Total of 5,705,670,380 lbs of
pollutants released into our
environment in 1998
▫ The half-life of these chemicals are
far longer than we think!

Environmental Endocrine Disruption
• October 21, 1998 an EPA advisory group suggested to screen 87,000
chemicals that cause disruption to human endocrine systems, but
that was too expensive and they only tested 25,000.
• (EPA/630/R-96/012 )February 1997 Special Report
▫ “A hypothesis has been proposed that certain chemicals may
disrupt the endocrine system.” “Possible human health endpoints
(ways to die) affected by these agents include breast cancers and
endometriosis in women, testicular and prostate cancers in men,
abnormal sexual development, reduced male fertility, alteration
in pituitary and thyroid gland functions, immune suppression,
and nuero behavioral effects.” (page 7)
8/16/2012
103

Environmental Endocrine Disruption
• Estrogen-like pesticides PCB, DDE, DDT linked to Breast Cancer
▫ “…women whose breasted sequestered the highest levels pesticides were 10 to
100x’s more likely to develop breast cancer than women with lower levels.”
(Living Downstream, Steingraber page 10-11)
▫ We believe it would represent a serious error in judgment to ignore the clear
message from these combined studies published in the Journal of the National
Cancer Institute and AMA that estrogen/progestin therapy increases risk of breast
cancer.” (Kuller J. Natl Cancer Inst 92(4):328-332)
▫ These cases of occupational exposure to pesticides provided evidence that these
chemicals may be estrogenic. Subsequent experiments on lab animals
unambiguously confirmed their estrogenic activity. Recent findings, in the
observation of specific wildlife populations exposed to combinations of
environmental chemicals, provide sufficient evidence that many of these
compounds have hormone-like activity and may be causing serious reproductive
effects.” (J. of Steroid Biochemistry. Molecular biology Vol. 65 (1-6) pp. 143-150
1998).

Toxins in our Food
• We allow over 10,000 food
and chemical additives into
our food supply
• Average American consumes
~14 lbs. of additives a year
• In addition to colorings,
preservatives, flavorings,
emulsifiers, humectants, and
antimicrobials, we consume on
average 120 lbs of processed
sugar and 8 pounds of process
salt (Do you know what your
patients eat, Cheraskin 1976)

Murders Combined each year (Surviving the toxic Crises, Keller & Dworkin)
▫ Cigarette Smoke (with Cadmium and Nickel) destroys the conductivity of the
electronic schematics of the body and the cells (Electrogenetics Biological Liquid
Crystal Theory, Garnett)
▫ Cured Tobacco ( a proprietary process of adding yeast and sugars to tobacco) induces
lung cancer (The Fungus Link, Kaufmann
2. Heavy Metals – Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Nickel, and Aluminum
▫ Collect inside cells and disrupts their ability to carry out their functions
▫ Worse yet, it can cause the cells to act abnormally, increasing risk of cancer
▫ Cadmium, lead, and mercury impair 5’deiodinase causing thyroid dysfunction
▫ 1000x the amount of lead in our bones then 100 years ago
3. Chlorine and Fluoride
▫ Eliminate chlorine from ALL household items
▫ Most chlorine and fluoride found at bathroom sink, showering cleansers, shampoo,
and the water!

Exercise
Anabolic-accumulating:
• Tissue building
• Facilitates
digestion/elimination
• Energy accumulating
• Learning/growth optimized
• Resistance training facilitates
when rest is adequate
• Facilitates growth and repair
after exercise or physical
stress
Catabolic-spending:
• Tissue destructive
• Retards
digestion/elimination
• Debilitates learning!
• Injury repair:
• Removing the old to make
room
• for the new!
• Energy spending
• Aerobic training facilitates

Resistance
Training = Anabolic
Aerobic Cardio =
Catabolic

IF You are trying to lose weight, what
is the first thing people want to do?
• For some reason everyone wants to start with
the easy aerobic cardio
▫ Average overweight person is losing 1 lb. of muscle
each year
▫ Average obese person is losing 2 lbs. of muscle
each year
8/16/2012
117
• These people may actually train their bodies to
store more fat, turn protein into fat, and gain
weight after initial loses.
No wonder some many people fail!

Why does this happen?

More Physiological Stress = Easier
Modes of Working Out
• High level physiological loads (as determined from questionnaires) needs
only low level intensity work outs, or working in!
▫ Zone Exercises
▫ Tai Chi
▫ Qigong
▫ Yoga
• Moderate level physiological loads can do general strengthening resistance
training
▫ Posture correction
▫ Core activation training
▫ Hypertrophy weaken muscle training
▫ Moderate interval cardiovascular training
• Low level physiological loads can benefit from high intensity training
▫ Total body strength training
▫ Supersets
▫ High intensity circuits
▫ High intensity interval cardiovascular training

Parasympathetic Nervous System
Exercises
• Breathing – correct breathing requires mental
control when moving, so learn to breath then
learn to move
▫ Meditation
▫ Qigong
▫ Tai Chi
▫ Yoga
• Strength Training
▫ Pilates
▫ Resistance Training

Resistance Training
• REPS, SETS, WEIGHT, INTENSITY, AND
RECOVERY
▫ The number of reps of a weight and the intensity
of the each rep will dictate the muscle fibers used
▫ The number of sets and recovery time between
sets will determine the muscle fibers used
▫ 2 types of muscle fiber types
 Fast twitch-strong, powerful
 Slow twitch-endure
▫ You will go from one muscle fiber type to the other
depending on the variables of your workout

Lactic Acid Training
• Resistance Training performed at moderate weights,
higher intensities (faster), and little rest will cause a
release of lactic acid
• Lactic Acid production is linked to growth hormone
release, increases metabolism, and huge increases in
fat burn
• VO2 max can be increased through challenging
circuits faster than endurance training
▫ Imagine training for a marathon with minimum
running? People are doing it!

Balancing Act
• When you are doing appropriate resistance
training and interval cardio what else should you
do?
• Probably need a low intensity de-stressing yoga class
or do some zone exercises to get mind/body
connection.
• Yogis love doing cardio, but lack resistance
training, is this appropriate?
 Everyone is different, but most would benefit greatly
from building muscle tissue and stimulating more
growth hormone release

Adrenal
• The adrenal type has fat
that sags from the abdomen. This type craves
salt or chocolate, has anxiety, feels the need for
coffee or stimulants, suffers from chronic
inflammation and tends to wake up in the middle
of the night. This person needs foods high in
potassium, calcium and vitamin C, like leafy
greens, mushrooms, oranges, grapefruit and
apples. He should also consume adequate amounts
of protein (50-75 grams) to replace loss of body
protein (muscles). Light and slow exercise is ideal
for this body type. An adrenal body type is already
in a state of “burnout,” and adding more stress
through intense exercise will stress the adrenal
glands even more.

Ovary
• Obviously, this type is exclusively found in women.
Someone with an ovary type carries excess fat accumulated
around hips and thighs (“saddlebags”),with a lower
stomach bulge just beneath the navel. This type craves ice
cream, cream cheese, sour cream or milk, often has pain in
the lower back/hip area, suffers from hot flashes and
lowered sex drive, and has problems surrounding
menstruation. Ovary types need to consume lots of
cruciferous vegetables, since they are antiestrogenic. They
should also consume adequate amounts of protein (50-75
grams) to help trigger fat-burning hormones. Meats and
fats consumed should be hormone-free, since
environmental hormones can affect ovaries. Ideally, this
type should combine light and intense exercise for
maximum benefit.

Thyroid
• Those in this category will show weight
gain all over the body rather than just in
one particular place. This person craves
sweets, breads and pasta, can suffer from
depression, often has brittle nails, dry
hair and hair loss, becomes tired in the
early evening and has dry skin especially
on the hands and elbows. The thyroid
body type needs iodine and should
consume lots of non-cruciferous
vegetables. In addition, the metabolic
rate is slow and cannot tolerate excessive
protein. Going light on fats is advised.
High-intensity, short-duration exercise is
recommended for this body type.

• Someone with a malfunctioning liver has fluid that
leaks into the sac around the abdomen, giving a
“potbelly” appearance. This type craves deep-friend
foods or potato chips, has pain or tightness in the
right shoulder area, often suffers from flaky skin or
dandruff in eyebrows and scalp, has hot or swollen
feet, shows a yellow tint in the whites of the yes, is
irritable in the morning, and often has a tight feeling
over the right lower stomach area or ribcage. Liver
types need foods high in potassium such as
cruciferous vegetables, and should also consume
easily digestible protein sources (i.e., fish and eggs).
High-intensity, short-duration exercise is
recommended. Berg’s plan teaches readers how to
attack the true cause of their weight problems:
Unbalanced hormones. As he so aptly explains, you
can achieve weight loss and better health after you
help your glandular system operate in a balanced
way.
