• 100% All-Natural, Whole-Grain Ingredient: Omega Smart sources only the highest quality whole-grain flaxseed, carefully selected from the cool, clean environments of the northern prairies.
• 20% Omega-3s: Omega Smarts whole-grain flaxseed represents one of nature’s richest sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids . Humans convert the omega-3s in flaxseed into the same long-chain omega-3s (EPA and DHA) otherwise obtained from fish and algae. It takes only 1.3g of flaxseed per reference serving size to claim a product to be a “high, rich, or excellent” source of omega-3s, according to the Food & Drug Administration.
• 25%-plus Dietary Fiber: Whole and ground flaxseed offer rich sources of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers in support of health and well-being. Flaxseed’s soluble fibers also contribute beneficial pre-biotic qualities to foods.
• Rich source of Antioxidants: Antioxidants play very important roles in helping to support cellular and metabolic integrity. 100% whole-grain flaxseed ingredients provide a rich source of dietary antioxidants.
• Rich in Lignans: Lignans are especially powerful polyphenolic antioxidants that also play an important role in health and nutrition.
• Good Source of Protein: Flaxseed contains 20 – 25% protein by weight, making it a rich source of protein comparable to meat, poultry or fish.
• Low-Glycemic (or Net) Carbs: Virtually all of the carbohydrate in flaxseed is dietary fiber, only 3% is in the form of digestible carbohydrates. This makes flaxseed an especially low-glycemic (or “net” carb) ingredient.
• Good Flavor, Good Taste: good nutrition is great, but you need to make a product taste good in order to make people want to eat it! Flaxseed’s good taste and good flavor make it an especially appropriate ingredient for good nutrition, health and well being.

So, Enjoy a bar…and eat to your health!

We all know that human body is complicated and consists of 90% of water content. It’s a great challenge for all of us to be in better health. Dr. Mark Hyman shares some insights on better health without having any medicine and how we can achieve these.

He strongly feels that our eating habits determine our health. It’s the root cause of all health problems. He talks about how we changed our eating habits over a period of time. Basically, he strongly condemns the food factory and medical doctors. He suggests that a simple food plan over 2-4 weeks can change your health and if you continue to follow these, you will feel better and healthy and get rid of aging.

UltraWellness is a new approach pioneered by Mark Hyman, M.D., that shows you how to work with the fundamental underlying laws by which your body operates to create optimal health. This is 21st-century medicine is finally available to everyone.

This new approach is based on the cutting edge science of systems biology and functional medicine. If put it simply, this means that UltraWellness works with your body as an integrated whole to achieve what conventional medicine cannot.

Here are the 7 keys to your UltraWellness. Try it and you will be amazed with its powers.

1. How Your Environment Affects Your Health
2. The Hidden Threat of Inflammation
3. How to Balance Your Hormones to Control Your Mood, Weight and Health
4. Why Your Digestive System is the Core of Good Health
5. How to Rid Your Body of Deadly Poisions by Optimizing Your Detoxification System
6. How to Boost Your Energy By Optimizing Your Mitochondria
7. How to Improve Your Health by Optimizing your Body-Mind Connection

The process is relatively simple:

• first, identify which of your seven key underlying systems isn’t working correctly;
• second, remove the sources that are causing problems with each one of those keys; and
• third, nourish each of these systems with what it needs to function optimally. Then, your body’s natural intelligence takes over and automatically fixes your remaining problems.

Dr. Hyman has written several books (UltraMetabolism, The Ultra Thyroid Solution, The UltraMetabolism Cookbook, The Ultra Simple Diet, UltraPrevention) and many audio video programs. You can also visit http://www.ultrawellness.com/store to know about these.

UltraMetabolism is a simple plan of 8 week program for automatic weight reduction and optimal health. It consists of mix of recipes and natural way of achieving this. You can also search more UltraMetabolism recipes or join the community for more details.

UltraPrevention is a 6-week plan that will make you Healthy for life. In this book he talks about how to eliminate the five forces, which makes us sick. Also, talking about the principles for restoring and maintaining health. He speaks about underlying causes of sickness.

Some information and facts mentioned by Dr. Hyman are written below to raise your awareness and consciousness.

According to Dr. Hyman:

“The fact is that the human body is complicated. It has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. There is no one magic bullet that will shoot down all your health issues.”

“I believe, however, that once you stop falling for the myths of modern medicine and once you begin adopting the recommendations of Ultraprevention you will be on your way to a future of better health.”

“Ultraprevention, is a new paradigm of well-being and a system of thought, evaluation, and treatment derived from the scientific study of health. This system is based on remarkable truths uncovered by researchers over the last few years. These truths provide tremendous insights into our health and give us a framework that not only explains but unites the processes of health and illness.”

The five forces of illness are:

1. Malnutrition or sludge
2. Impaired Metabolism or burnout
3. Inflammation or heat
4. Impaired detoxification or waste
5. Oxidative stress or rust

“I believe that every person who pays attention to these forces will enjoy better health. My program is not just about getting better when you feel ill – it is about staying better so you don’t have to feel ill at all.”

“Many doctors talk about early detection as the cornerstone of prevention. But true prevention has to start long before detection can occur. Why? Patients are not an ambulatory collection of separate organs and various conditions – everything in the body is related. Imbalances or dysfunctions in one system lead to added stresses in the other systems. When these stresses and imbalances tax the organ reserve symptoms and illness result. Remember the old children’s song – the Thighbone is connected to the hipbone… No organism can exist in isolation, and neither can a body system. Most doctors don’t try to put the clues together to form a big pictures – we do!”

Consider the person who has a heart attack — The heart attack didn’t occur out of the blue. It was preceded by decades of plaque buildup caused by oxidation (rusting) of fats in the bloodstream, which became deposited in the wall of the artery, followed by activation of the immune system leading to inflammation (heat) in the wall of the artery and this was aggravated by malnutrition (sludge) and tipped over by the resulting stress on the detoxification (waste) system which finally made one of those plaques break open and rupture causing a clot to form that in turn caused your heart attack. There is a similar chain of events with all common illnesses. The beginnings of all these diseases are like the first in a long line of dominoes to fall in a reaction that may take years to complete eventually ending with the diagnosis of a preventable illness. We look for the very first domino and pick it up before it has a chance to fall. The human body can right itself, if given the chance to do so.

You can identify the illness if you conduct the test as per below parameters. Here are some answers to your queries if you have the above illness.

Test for Malnutrition:

• Homocysteine — Blood test. The Ideal level is less than 9
• Essential Fatty Acids — Blood test. Measured in the red blood cells (Test for Omega 3, 6, and other fatty acids directly)
• Red Blood cell mineral levels — Blood test. Test for the levels of Magnesium, Selenium, Iodine, Zinc and Copper.
• Methylmalonic Acid — Blood or Urine Test. High levels indicate a B12 deficiency.
• Stool analysis — determines digestion and absorption. This will identify if foods are not being broken down and digested properly, or not being absorbed.

Test for Impaired Metabolism:

• Urinary Organic Acids — By measuring acidic compounds in the urine provides a rich amount of information about nutritional aspects of cellular energy production.
• Cardiometabolic stress testing: Measuring oxygen consumption during exercise (VO2 Max) tests for your mitochondria’s metabolic capacity.
• Insulin response test: Normal insulin values at two hours are less than 25 and a normal glucose level is less than 140.
• Lipid profile: Total cholesterol (LDL, HDL, triglycerides) A triglyceride level over 150 or a triglyceride to HDL ratio greater than 4.3 are highly suggestive of insulin resistance as is an HDL level of less than 40.
• TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone — Blood Test. Normal Level is 0.3 to 3.5 with the optimal being 1.0-2.0.
• Free T3 and Free T4: Direct measurement of thyroid hormone in the blood in conjunction with the TSH level provides helpful information regarding thyroid function.
• Thyroid antibodies: This test can detect people at risk of developing hypothyroidism because these antibodies attack the thyroid gland.
• Resting metabolic rate. Clues us into the presence of an underactive thyroid gland.

Test for Inflammation:

• C-reactive protein – The high-sensitivity CRP (Normal levels 0.7 or less)
• Sedimentation rate (SED rate) High SED rates indicated inflammation (Normal values <20)
• Fibrinogen level — Blood Test: Fibrinogen is one of the chief constituents involved in clotting and is made by the liver. It rises in response to inflammation.
• Food Allergy blood tests: I measure the levels of antibodies (IgG, IgE) in the blood to a battery of different foods, potentially reactive foods.
• Gluten/Celiac disease — Blood Test: Specific tests check for gluten allergy and include the anti-gliadin antibody test and the tissue transglutaminase assay.
• Tests for Infections: Antibody tests (H. Pylori and Lyme disease), PCR tests and Cultures.

Test for Impaired Detoxification:

• Detoxification challenge test (Blood and Urine Test) Delayed or impaired detoxification in a specific area can point to nutritional deficiencies involved in detoxification or weak enzyme systems in the liver.
• Blood reduced Glutathione
• Hair analysis: A screening test for heavy metal toxicity (mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium)
• Urinary organic acids: Provides information about the body’s ability to detoxify certain solvents as well as hormones and carcinogens.

Test for Oxidative stress:

• Lipid peroxides — Blood or Urine. Measuring the level provides and index of the body’s antioxidant status.
• Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Gluathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase. These are three of the most important natural anti-oxidant enzymes.
• Glutathione — Blood Test
• Urinary hydroxyl markers: Levels of free radicals such as catechol and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate.
• Blood anti-oxidant levels. Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Co-enzyme Q10 and Beta Carotene

Why do we test for these?

Most doctors don’t pay attention to any of these forces because they operated under this method — if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The problem as I see it is that “it” may well be broken already. But most Doctors don’t realize this because they wait until something is damaged almost beyond repair before they act.

Knowledge provide by these tests gives us the advantage over other Doctors — they give us lead time to prevent them from occurring.

It is up to you. One of the greatest changes taking place in our medical system is the empowerment of the patient. Everyone needs to become their own health advocate.

Here is one company called Maximized Living and a Chiropractitioner by Dr. Chris Niedzinski.  Maximized Living concept was founded by Dr. Ben Lerner and Dr. Greg Loman.   These simple tools have been practiced by many people and have been benefiting them immensely.

The main objective of Maximized Living is living fully for better health and wellness.  It is not just the concept—but also your ability to achieve that level of excellence.  The Maximized Living Health Center is a place, where people can go and receive the best care for removing the obstacles to optimal health and to achieve balance in their body and in their lives.  The goal is to demystify health and create one place you can go and not just get “better” but more importantly–get well.

In today’s world, people are more stressed or depressed due to some thing or the other.  Here are some factors that contribute stress:

• Chemical toxicity (medications, environmental, heavy metals, biotoxins, nutrition).  These all directly alter organ function and hormone production.  Most antidepressant medications significantly INCREASE depression and stress.
• Physical nerve stress will damage the nervous system directly and limits the control of organ function leading to decrease in hormones that reduce stress
• There is a deficiency of nutrition which accumulates stress on body and our internal system
• Limited exercise and movement.  This limits the oxygen ability of body, leading to cellular dysfunction and disease. It is no doubt that exercise alone can drastically reduce stress.
• Relationship and workplace stress.  Marital problems, job difficulties, etc. all create physiologic change.  Skin, heart rate, digestion, hormone, energy change with emotions.
• Improper time management skills (one of the biggest factors)—we are living in a rushed, emergency-centered world.  We are busier than we are successful.

If you look at the above causes, then it’ll only add stress and you’ll be more depressed.  So, we need to heal our brain in a systematic way to eliminate stress.  You can never eliminate stress, but can learn new techniques to build peace.

Fixing the above points one by one will not solve the problem, we require an internal biostructural changes. Maximized Living involves a unique biostructural alignment approach, and also promotes natural, drug free living and optimal nutrition for your body, allowing it to perform at optimal levels.   When your body is in this state of wellness, it becomes self-regulating. It will actually heal itself in most cases, and all you have to do is not interfere with it. That entails avoiding harmful foods and substances that will get in the way of your body’s natural processes. It also means taking care of your body, staying active and keeping fit.

Using the Five Essentials, Maximized Living helps to remove the obstacles to wellness, and restore your body to the balance it naturally seeks:

1. Minimize your exposure to toxins (Eg: medications & refined foods)
2. Maximize nerve supply.  All life and function revolves around this—all else is negligible.
3. Maximize the quality of your nutrition. Not diet, but making better choices of nontoxic fuel.
4. Maximize oxygen and lean muscle As little as 12 minutes per week! (www.12minutemakeover.com)
5. Maximize peace and relationships.  Anger Management, Peace Management, Reprogramming Perceptions (the art of overcoming, moving from pain to purpose), and Effective Time Management

Literally thousands of people across the country have transformed their lives (and stress) with these easy principles.  If you would like more information please click here.

What is the RejuvaWand™ Skincare System? How does it work?

The RejuvaWand™ Skincare System is the first home-use, light-based skincare system to use both red and infrared light to reduce the signs of aging. The restorative red and infrared light that emits from the wand penetrates the skin’s surface and stimulates new cell production and blood flow. Restorative light therapy helps to reverse the signs of aging and leads to a healthy and younger looking appearance, proponents say. The RejuvaWand also went through rigorous clinical tests and is “the nexus of skincare, healthcare and technology.”

As we age, the cells that manufacture collagen and elastin – your skin’s support system – begin to slow down. Sun exposure accelerates this process and produces a damaging chemical imbalance under the surface of your skin. The RejuvaWand^TM Skincare System from Light Dimensions uses a totally natural approach to reverse the damaging effects of aging and sun exposure. The system combines relaxing massage and light to help invigorate the body’s own natural restorative processes, and counteract the effects of aging.

Some anti-aging treatments, like chemical peels and laser resurfacing, essentially cause damage to the skin, tapping the body’s natural healing processes to produce desired results. The RejuvaWand process is healthier. It stimulates your skin’s natural healing agents and triggers revitalization through a combination of invigorating massage and unique wavelengths of light.

Light from the RejuvaWand permeates the top layers of the skin, telling your cells to produce more energy (scientifically referred to as Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP) thereby jumpstarting the fuel these cells need during the repair and rejuvenation process. ATP also helps your cells absorb nutrients faster and more effectively.

Independent laboratory studies have shown that increased ATP can help reverse the effects on aging skin. The powerful cellular energy boosts collagen levels, smoothes the skin’s appearance, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and activates key healing properties. The RejuvaWand’s addition of Rejuva^TM Vibe gentle massage increases blood circulation under your skin, which ultimately increases the flow of nutrients and carries away dead and damaged cells.

Medical Grade Light Therapy

RejuvaWand technology is based on unique high power light emitting diodes (LEDs), which have been proven in independent research to safely deliver powerful cosmetic, hygienic and therapeutic benefits. Even the NASA space program has shown that LED light therapy promotes wound healing and human tissue growth. In addition, the RejuvaWand Skincare System is painless with absolutely no downtime due to redness or swelling of skin.

Rejuva Vibe Restorative Massage

Therapeutic massage helps to relieve muscle pain, increase circulation and has been a cornerstone of physical therapy for centuries. The RejuvaWand harnesses this traditional healing process by using a type of massage called selective harmonic vibration (SHV), or Rejuva Vibe, which promotes increased blood circulation and healing, and increases the formation of new capillaries. Healthy blood vessels replace damaged ones and speed your skin’s rejuvenation process.

Does the treatment hurt? Will the LED lights burn or cut my skin?

No. The RejuvaWand™ Skincare System is non-invasive, which means it works without cutting into the skin.The LED lights are approved for home use and will not burn or damage your skin. RejuvaWand Treatments are extremely comfortable, safe and also relaxing.

What is the difference between The RejuvaWand Skincare System and a laser or Intense Pulsed Light treatment at the doctor’s office?

The RejuvaWand Skincare System uses low-level light energy to stimulate your body’s own natural rejuvenation process, which improves your skin’s condition in a non-irritating and non-invasive way. There is no redness, swelling or downtime with the RejuvaWand Skincare System. Office-based treatments, such as Lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems, achieve their effects by causing damage to the skin, which in turn promotes a healing process. These treatments are also very expensive and often require multiple visits. The RejuvaWand can be used in the privacy of your own home and costs much less than office-based laser and IPL treatments.

How is the RejuvaWand Skincare System different from other light-based skin therapy products?The RejuvaWand personal care appliance offers a number of important advantages over other light-based therapy products.

• Light Sources -Unlike competing products, you can choose from two restorative light sources that emit from the RejuvaWand. The visible red light penetrates directly below the skin’s surface, which jumpstarts cell rejuvenation and makes the skin healthier and younger looking. Infrared light penetrates more deeply to further the rejuvenation process. The light sources are used on alternating days to deliver optimal results.

• Power Output -Other home-based light therapy skin treatment systems emit light at a much lower output level than the RejuvaWand. In fact, the RejuvaWand emits its two therapeutic lights at a level that is more than 20 times other products’ on the market. This ensures the deepest light penetration into the skin and optimal results.

• Emitting Area -The light emission area on the RejuvaWand is over 10 times larger than other products. This design was incorporated for more effective treatment of larger surface areas. and targeted delivery of more light into the skin.

• Rejuva Vibe -The RejuvaWand is the only restorative light therapy product to incorporate Rejuva™ Vibe relaxing and healing massage as a key element in the skin rejuvenation process. Rejuva Vibe relaxes uneven surface areas in the skin to help flatten wrinkles and better target restorative light penetration. This relaxing massage also helps to promote the development of new capillaries, which increases blood circulation and the removal of dead and damaged cells, leaving the skin younger and healthier looking.

• Light Diffuser -The RejuvaWand diffuses and randomly distributes the red and infrared lights into the skin. This helps to ensure that the restorative light covers the entire treatment area.

Is The RejuvaWand dangerous to use around my eyes?

No. The RejuvaWand Skincare System was designed so that its treatment light will not harm your eyes and is only emitted when in contact with or in close proximity to your skin. Even if you accidentally look directly into the light being emitted during the treatment, your eyes will not be harmed. Regardless of the inherent safety features, directions should always be followed and warning labels should always be read.

Are there any negative side effects from using The RejuvaWand skincare system?

The RejuvaWand has been clinically tested by Dermatologists and negative side effects from its use were not reported. In more than 30 years of ongoing clinical tests, trials and studies, there have been no reported short- or long-term negative side effects from similar light treatments.

How long does the RejuvaWand need to be used before I see results?

Results depend on many variables including your age, amount of photo-damage from sun exposure, adherence to instructions, proper and consistent use of the recommended Rejuva three step skincare program, etc. With consistent and proper treatment visible changes in your skin’s appearance should be noticeable in 30 days or less. The changes are gradual so it is always advisable to take close up photographs of the area being treated before treatment and then compare them to photos taken after 30 days of using the RejuvaWand Skincare System.
How often do I need to use the RejuvaWand Skincare System?

For best results, the RejuvaWand Skincare System should be used once a day, in the morning or at nighttime, on each area that is being treated for the preprogrammed amount of time.

Can I use the RejuvaWand Skincare System in conjunction with other treatments like dermabrasion?
Yes. In fact, the combined treatment with dermabrasion or other forms of exfoliation may have very positive effects. Dermatologists have commented on the benefits of using the RejuvaWand on a daily basis between office-based treatments. Consult with your treatment dermatologist or aesthetician about the nature of a specific treatment and the possible effects of combining them with daily RejuvaWand usage.

What’s appropriate for any age and what’s not

Eve Shares her 7 tips with us:

LIVE LIFE WITH THE ENTHUSIASM OF A CHILD

• What happened to your excitement and sense of wonder? When did life become so dreary?
• Did growing up have to mean growing old in attitude?
• How did this sneak up on us without our even noticing? As we became more sophisticated so did our toys. But even the toys stopped delighting us.
• What good is a new dress with an old attitude? If you want to look young you have got to feel young. Young at heart. Find the child inside of you. You will be delighted with the adventure of life.

CHANGE HOW YOU THINK ABOUT AGING

• The most important thing you can do to start getting your “WOW” back is to change the way you think about aging. Healthy and positive aging is possible.
• Most women were raised to believe that certain depressing things would happen to our bodies as we age, especially after having children. Even worse, we were taught that our personal worth would diminish with each year we live.
• Nowadays, 50 is the new 30. I know. I am 53 years old and loving it.
• At least twice a day affirm from the heart saying “I am growing younger, better, happier, healthier, wealthier and more full of life.”
• Say it with feeling and total faith. Say it out loud during your daily prayers.
• Think it as you drive, do chores, whenever. Remember that what you think about is what you’ll become. Please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You’ll be a happier woman believing that you are getting better all of the time.

FIND YOUR INNER SELF AND INDULGE DAILY WITH JOY

• Whatever it is that really regenerates you, do it. Balance is the key.
• It is vital to take some time for yourself so you remain a whole and balanced person. When you live only for others it’s not possible to have WOW!

FIND YOUR INNER SELF AND INDULGE DAILY WITH JOY

• Whatever it is that really regenerates you, do it. Balance is the key.
• It is vital to take some time for yourself so you remain a whole and balanced person. When you live only for others it’s not possible to have WOW!
• Someone who has WOW! has a fountain of personal energy and vitality. They’re interesting. They have an endless source of love to tap into.
• Everything can’t be about the kids. If it’s all about others you lose your self. And your children don’t need the guilt of being the entire universe to you. They respect your having your own needs and filling them.
• You have to be a complete person in order to have a great relationship with someone else and that includes your kids.
• You started off by being yourself and then attracting another. Then you had children and may have lost who you are and forgot about your marriage.
• If this happens to you, what kind of life will you be offering your children?
• Your spouse and your children will appreciate a mom who nurtures all sides of herself and teaches them to do the same.
• Mom is a person first and foremost, then a mate and a mom. All three sides must be tended to.
• Indulge yourself each day � even if it’s only for a few minutes. Nurture your spirit and individuality. Enhance your mind. This is an important source of your WOW!

REVEL IN YOUR SENSUALITY

• When you are young, you have a strong sex drive which motivates much of your behavior. It also is responsible for attracting your significant other. In fact, chances are that you would not be a mom at all if you were not a sexual person.
• We are all sensual beings. We can’t deny that part of ourselves. Sexual energy is the driving force behind all of creation. In Eastern philosophies, it is a well-accepted fact that the creative chakra (center) of our bodies is also the sex chakra.
• As moms, we can’t go through life doing one task after another without any time to nurture our own physical needs. Your significant other wants the person they fell in love with. When you were dating, didn’t you make him a priority? Make him feel important? Loved being intimate with him? Well, just because you had children doesn’t mean that all that must stop.
• The parents’ love for one another is the foundation of the home.

FOSTER AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

• It is only from a sense of gratitude and joy that we create more good things in our life. That is because positive attracts positive. So if you want more goodness, focus on goodness.
• Nothing fades anger and sadness quicker than shifting our attitude to thoughts of gratitude.
• When you are feeling good, remember to tell your face. It shows what you think.
• No amount of makeup or surgery will make your face look joyous and stress free. Only you can do that.
• Renowned facialist Vera Brown always said, “By 30 you have the face you’ve earned and by 50 you have the face you deserve”
• Change your attitude and do an about face! All puns intended.

UPDATE YOUR LOOK WITH AN IMAGE MAKEOVER

• If your computer software is more current than your hairdo, you might be in a rut. You’re ready for an image makeover.
• REJUVENATE YOUR BODY – LOOKING YOUNGER
• The physical is an affirmation of the mental and spiritual. You live in a physical world. So take good care of the vehicle that carries you around this planet.
• We do not need to grow old, weak, flabby, and ill. Wellness, strength, stamina, good energy is our natural state. Do what it takes daily to nurture your body. Be good to it and it will be good to you.
• Don’t get caught in your own time warp. You wouldn’t expect a 10 year-old computer program to serve your needs, so why expect that an outdated style will.
• You need to learn what flatters your best features and accentuate them. Make the trends work for your body, shape and coloring.
• Part of being modern is accurately communicating who you are. You don’t have to try to look twenty. But you must keep up with the trends. Your children will love it.
• Your makeup should be updated every spring and fall. Your hairstyle needs to change at least every 2 years. Update your clothing on a seasonal basis.
• On a budget? Just add a couple of key pieces, change the way you wear what you have, and keep your hair and makeup current.
• We have a responsibility to stay in the fashion groove. If we look like a dinosaur, people will treat us like one.
• People are not born “out of style”. They get that way when they stop putting effort into their appearance.
• It’s often fear that stops us from changing. Fear of looking silly. Fear of not wearing the new trend correctly.

Eve Michaels – Biography

As a working Mom with kids, husband and the whole nine yards, Eve really understands the challenges of being a Mom. Eve’s life was not always as perfect as it seems today. She experienced makeover magic herself.

At 53 years old she looks a glamorous 35. She lives a life many would envy – with a home in Beverly Hills, a wonderful relationship with her husband, great kids and a successful career she loves.

But it has taken her many years of deep introspection and study to find the unique blend of body, mind and spirit makeover magic insights she applies to her life everyday. She has gone through a divorce and many ups and down in her life.

Now Eve knows it is possible to have it all – and that we deserve to have it all. She turned her own life around and now has the life she always dreamed of.

Eve’s philosophy is that when you get your body, mind and spirit in sync, you’ll get your WOW! back. “How to grow young is the passion of my life,” says Eve, who has worked as a celebrity image designer with the rich and famous.

Eve is dedicating her life to helping people from all walks of life look and feel vibrant, beautiful and modern.

“I’ve built up my expertise over the last 30 years by working in all aspects of the fashion and makeover industry,” says Michaels.

“I had an intense interest in natural healing, spirituality, and metaphysics. That’s how I’ve been able to develop a holistic approach.”

Eve brings her unique journey and her holistic approach to people everywhere through her makeover magic programs.

Unlike other makeovers, Eve’s program goes way beyond hair, make up and dress – it offers you a real opportunity to walk the path she has prepared and to experience personal enhancement – in body, mind and spirit.

Carole Maggio, CEO of Facercise joins Craig to discuss her synergistic series of facial exercises and how they can keep you looking young longer without surgery.

“I call it the anti-Botox boom,” says Carole Maggio, creator of the facercise program and a internationally known skin and facial consultant who runs the Carole Maggio Spa in Redondo Beach, California. “Botox deadens the muscles to relax them and erase wrinkles but Facercise does the opposite. It strengthens muscles to shape fuller lips, lifted eyebrows, wide open and vibrant eyes, a shorter nose as well as a chiseled chin, neck and jaw line.” And they do it in their cars as well. “It’s a great way improve your appearance and feel like your commute was productive.”

Maggio says “facercising” is more effective than cosmetic surgery and many facial problem areas can be toned with simple movements.

For example, raising your eyebrows up and down at least five times is actually an “eye enhancing exercise” that strains your muscles and makes your eyes bigger in no time.

For a plump pout, Maggio suggests flexing the corners of your mouth, “like you’re sucking on a lemon” and pushing on the corners with your thumb and index finger until you “feel the burn.”

For a perky schnoz, “nose pumps,” where you pinch your nose with one hand and pull your upper lip with the other hand should do the trick.

Although driving while facercising seems odd, Maggio argues, “You exercise your nose while most people are picking theirs. At least you can be constructive during your drive.”

The Facercise trend is not just in California. Maggio says that the largest customers of her DVD and CD are in Japan. “Japanese women are real believers in using non-invasive means to look better,” she said. “There is no down
side to trying the exercises before you consider other more drastic measures to look and feel better. It also costs a fraction of what more invasive measures would.”

“Just as a body builder can use weight training to isolate and develop certain muscles in his or her body, a particular facial feature can be developed and accentuated by performing a specific facial exercise. After five days of Facercise, men and women see a younger face smiling back at them in the mirror.”

Just as Botox and other injectibles are becoming a growing choice for many women, many others cannot afford the treatments let alone a full face lift. But they can spend time in their cars, trying to look younger one mile at a time.

Do you want to try it for yourself? Maggio offers instructional CD’s and DVD’s at www.facercise.com.

About Carole:

Carole Maggio, considered “the world’s foremost authority on facial exercises” has devised a series of synergistic exercises which she has successfully taught to hundreds of thousands of clients world wide. In 1995, as an answer to thousands of questions regarding her techniques, she authored the best selling book, FACERCISE®. This book continues to be a top selling item in bookstores worldwide. She has also produced two DVDs and two CDs to demonstrate her FACERCISE® techniques.

Ms. Maggio has a legion of supporters among the medical professionals worldwide. She has had numerous testimonials from many plastic surgeons who support her belief that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Her credo is to address the causes of facial aging, not to just treat the symptoms.

Ms. Maggio long ago discovered that through proper exercises, one can strengthen and develop the 57 face and neck muscles so that the face can actually be restructured to achieve an improved, younger look. Just as a body builder can develop particular muscles in his or her body, a particular facial feature can be developed and accentuated by performing a specific facial exercise. In just a short period of time there will be a noticeable difference in the contour and tone of the face.

Ms. Maggio has appeared on numerous television shows including Dateline, Geraldo, New York Today, CNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, BBC, HSN, QVC, The Learning Channel, Discovery, Good Morning Arizona and The Food Network among others.

Ms. Maggio’s techniques have been voted as one of the top 100 beauty products in the world by Harpers & Queen magazine. As quoted in the New York Times, Ms. Maggio has succeeded “in bending time’s arrow the other way.”

About Carole Maggio Day Spa:

Carole Maggio Day Spa is a cosmetic treatment spa specializing in non-invasive alternatives to plastic surgery. Ms. Maggio is an experienced facial therapist and esthetician whose renowned facial exercise techniques for men and women have earned popularity in 17 countries. These methods, which Ms. Maggio has dubbed Facercise, focus on strengthening facial muscles for a lasting improvement in appearance. The spa also offers body sculpting/cellulite reduction, microdermabrasion, and advanced facials.

Facercise works to lift and tone the 57 muscles in the face and neck. As a result of frequent and intensive yet brief (approximately ten minutes a session) facial workouts, signs of aging such as skin slackness and drooping mouth can be visibly reduced within five days and prevented from returning as long as exercises are kept up. Clients unhappy with an individual facial feature can work with professionals to develop individualized Facercise regimens aimed at restructuring the problem from the underlying muscles outward.

Carole Maggio’s signature CM Body Sculpting involves sweeping massage-like strokes designed to increase circulation and break up fat deposits. The treatment is applicable to the buttocks, lower back, arms, and legs for firming and toning effects. On average, recipients lose eight to 14 inches after ten 30-minute, twice-weekly treatments. Results are thoroughly documented during the regimen.

Licensed estheticians are also on hand to perform results-oriented skincare services. Guests can take advantage of a series of DiamondTone Microdermabrasion treatments in order to smooth skin tone and address irregularities, e.g. acne scarring and sun damage. Other available skin-rejuvenating treatments include anti-aging facial massage, antioxidant facial, and results-oriented tightening and toning facials.

Dr. Paul Nassif, MD of Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology say’s SPRINGTIME IS THE BEST TIME FOR WOMEN AND MEN TO REJUVENATE THEIR LOOK. He joins Craig to discuss how we can put your best face forward this spring with help from renowned facial and reconstructive surgeon.

“Many patients are simply looking for small changes, maybe they are tired of the crows’ feet around their eyes or they would like fuller, plumper lips. For these, injectable fillers are a great answer. But, there are options to great looking skin at every age,” said Dr. Nassif.

Here is Dr. Nassif’s guide for great skin at any age:

Twenties — For 20-year-olds, their skin looks great, but sunscreen is essential. To protect their skin from premature aging moisturize with at least spf 15 daily. Injectables like Restylane offer younger patients a way to plump up lips and add volume to checks and chins.

Thirties – In the 30s, the skin can look drier, thinner and wrinkles may start to appear around the eyes and mouth. Plenty of water and moisturizing twice a day keeps the skin hydrated. Another tool, injectables and fillers such as BOTOX, Juvederm, Sculptra and Radiesse combat the early signs of aging by filling in wrinkles, or plumping up lips and cheeks.

Forties – During the forties, the skin’s cell renewal and collagen production begins to slow down leaving the skin looking dull. Age spots, freckles, and pores become more noticeable. Exfoliation and chemical peels help get rid of dead skin cells and reveal smoother skin. A blepharoplasty can be a good option for those with sagging skin around the eyes.

Fifties — Dry skin and wrinkles are common in the 50s, as well as sagging skin around the neck and chin so good skin care is essential. Other ways to fight aging include dermal fillers to add fullness and facelifts, like the Anti-Gravity Lift, to address saggy cheeks, chins and jowls

Sixties — Moisturizer is critical in the 60s. Decreased circulation to the skin makes it look lighter and dryer. Laser resurfacing and microdermadrasion help address skin issues. While an upper and lower facelift or facial implants correct heavy jowls and deep facial lines.

Cosmetic surgery should strive to create a natural look that is in harmony with your features and appearance.

CustomVue™ Laser Vision Correction:
FDA approved to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism

You may have heard CustomVue treatments referred to as “custom” or “wavefront” LASIK. This breakthrough treatment establishes a new standard in laser vision correction.

CustomVue treatments use WaveScan™ technology, originally developed to reduce distortions in high-powered telescopes, to measure imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods.

In a clinical study for treatment of low to moderate myopia (nearsightedness), one year after treatment 98 percent of patients receiving CustomVue treatment could see 20/20 or better.

CustomVue treatment can free you from the full-time use of eyeglasses or contact lenses, while offering the potential for better vision than you could achieve with either.

Are you a candidate for the CustomVue procedure? Since CustomVue treatment is approved for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, 94 percent* of all laser vision correction candidates are potentially eligible for a CustomVue procedure.

How the CustomVue™ Procedure Works

CustomVue treatments use WaveScan™ technology created by VISX, Incorporated, originally developed to reduce distortions in high-powered telescopes when viewing distant objects in space.

• WaveScan technology measures imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods for glasses and contact lenses.
• The WaveScan WaveFront™ System produces a detailed map of your eye. Much like a fingerprint, no two eyes are exactly alike.
• The digital information is transferred to the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System, which performs the CustomVue procedure.
• Your CustomVue treatment is designed to correct the unique imperfections of your eyes.

In addition, the CustomVue procedure uses Iris Registration Technology — the first fully automated method of aligning and registering wavefront corrections for CustomVue treatments. Accurate alignment is essential to optimizing customized wavefront-guided ablations.

Iris Registration Technology:

• replaces manual methods of treatment alignment.
• aligns treatment to the cornea and provides greater alignment accuracy.
• centers the treatment correctly.

We brought the first small-incision foldable intraocular lens through the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory process and began marketing it in 1989. Foldable lenses were a major advance in cataract surgery because they made it possible for surgeons to insert the lens through a small incision. This meant less trauma to the eye and faster visual recovery from cataract surgery, from months to days.

AMO developed the Array® intraocular lens, the first multifocal intraocular lens to be approved for commercial distribution by the U.S. FDA. Multifocal implants provide patients with distance, intermediate, and near vision. Traditional monofocal lenses generally provide good distance vision only.

AMO designed and developed new equipment for removing cataracts. We have an outstanding phacoemulsification system, called the Sovereign® System. The Sovereign® System is equipped with WhiteStar™ software, an advanced technology that uses very low levels of ultrasound power to dissolve the full range of dense cataracts that can develop in the eye. The Sovereign® System won the prestigious Medical Design Excellence Silver Award from the Industrial Designers Society of America in 1999 for “excellence in medical product design engineering.”

AMO entered the refractive surgery market with the Amadeus™ Microkeratome, a device used during LASIK procedures. The Amadeus™ microkeratome produces the corneal flap that protects the eye after the laser procedure.

In 2004, AMO introduced the Verisyse™ phakic IOL for treatment of moderate to severe myopia, the first lens of its kind to receive FDA approval. The company also acquired the Tecnis® and CeeOn® IOLs, the Healon® line of viscoelastics and the Baerveldt® glaucoma device, marking the company’s entrance into the glaucoma market. The Tecnis® IOL is the first IOL with a modified prolate optic to have a claim for improved functional vision.

Science tells us that we’re already hard-wired to live to 100 and beyond.

There is no reason to fear living to 100 years of age or beyond.

There is no reason to think that you will be a burden to your children as you age.

You can set longevity goals for yourself and achieve them — How long do you want to live a happy and productive life — 75, 85, 95 or beyond.

Keeping your weight in check helps you age correctly — There aren’t obese centenarians!

Will their be enough — Yes their is always enough of whatever you need — it all depends on your mindset!

Increased life expectancy is affecting the U.S. economy every day as older entrepreneurs enter the global marketplace

Retirement is for the lazy and an outdated concept that has no place in todays society – Today many senior citizens are delaying retirement, going back to college, and starting new businesses.

If you knew you were going to live to be 100, how would you change your life this year? The bottom line is, today’s centenarians make up one of the world’s fastest growing segments of the population-but they got there by accident. Blindsided by their unanticipated longevity, they suffer a myriad physical, financial, emotional and spiritual ills. Luckily, the rest of us are getting advance notice that our parents and grandparents never received.

About Dr. Plasker

Dr. Eric Plasker is a native of New York where at the age of 15 he had his first life-changing chiropractic experience. The chiropractic care and education he received from his “family chiropractor”, Dr. Ernie Landi, not only inspired him to enroll in Life Chiropractic College, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1985, but helped shape his personal and company visions of making chiropractic family practice and LCFE (Lifetime Care for Everyone) a reality in communities across the world.

Dr. Eric Plasker – ran two highly successful practices in Georgia for 16 years before launching The Family Practice, Inc., a mission-driven training, coaching and turnkey implementation program that is helping chiropractors around the world unite to lead family healthcare.

During the years before founding The Family Practice,Inc., Dr. Plasker served as an active team teacher for Quest Alliance and the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance. He was a frequent instructor and teacher in patient management at his alma mater and served as the Vice President and President of the Life College Gonstead Club where he taught chiropractic techniques and practice management.

Dr. Plasker currently travels all over the world with The Family Practice Seminars where he provides all the tools and training (office, communication, referral, marketing, and financial systems) to help chiropractors build the family practices of their dreams.

He created and designed the best-selling patient education programs: Chiropractic Mother’s Morning Out™, the Human Potential Program™, and the Lifetime Care Referral System. He is also a team teacher for The Parker Seminars on family practice excellence.

Dr. Plasker and the LCfE grass roots movement are making a major impact on the world and with chiropractors of every technique and political persuasion. His unique style of instruction and promotion of contemporary chiropractic principles (in conjunction with the family practice and LCfE visions) speaks volumes to both patients and chiropractors in a way that touches the heart and inspires people to action.
