Dr. Jose in Darien is ALL ABOUT IMPROVING Health, Weight and Appearance and Is Performing Miracles!

Dr. Jose, taking Beauty to the Next Level!

Dr. Jose, taking Beauty to the Next Level!

This weekend, one particular customer came into my craft booth at SONO Arts and told me a story that I couldn’t ignore! She told me she just lost about 30 lbs, and is steadily losing one pound a day HEALTHFULLY! She then said she was over 200 lbs and was happy to be buying a size medium belt- and soon would need an even smaller size! She also asked me to guess her age because the diet she was on was also eradicating crow’s feet around her eyes and diminishing greatly her frown lines! I guessed that she was 32. She is 40. Her skin was impeccable, and glowing- her hair hair texture has improved as well AND every bit of her cellulite has disappeared and she still has about 75 lbs to lose!

I asked what her secret was, she said the HCG Diet! I said, “What is that?” Raven then proceeded to tell me about Dr. Jose in Darien, who I am now dying to interview! I have looked up Dr. Jose today and am completely impressed with her ability to translate internal medicine to also incorporate dietary, and beauty procedures! How cool is that. She is making being a Dr. glamorous. Oh, and one more thing, Raven explained to me that this diet targets all fat areas and literally removes the fat from your body… WOW.. HOW EXCITING IS THAT? When I hear about doctors, procedures, and programs to assist people in helping them to feel better, look better and improve I cannot contain my excitement and immediately want to share it with all of you.

The HCG Diet
Ultimate Solutions is excited to introduce The HCG Diet, the latest, natural weight loss program of the rich and famous under the direct supervision of Dr. Jen Jose, a renowned physician and expert in diet and nutrition.

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is a natural hormone present in both males and females. At birth, everyone has a certain amount of HCG. This hormone works in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland to regulate body fat, control emotions, and help to develop reproductive organs.

The HCG Diet was built on the principle that when this natural hormone is circulating throughout the body, it utilizes unnecessary fat storage to keep the body functioning normally while maintaining a low calorie diet. As long as HCG is flowing through the body, lean muscle mass can be maintained, which allows weight loss to occur in the abdomen and hips where body fat is typically harder to get rid of.

The HCG Diet is the latest and most sophisticated weight loss program available on the market today and Dr. Jen Jose is proud to introduce this amazing weight loss program to her patients.

WHY THIS DIET REALLY WORKS?

  • Rapid weight loss
  • Enhances hunger suppression
  • Heightens metabolism
  • Targets abdominal fat that cannot be lost by diet & exercise
  • Shrinks stomach & hips
  • Controls type II diabetes & high cholesterol
  • Retracts skin
  • Stimulates healthy living

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:

  • Reduces dark circles under the eyes
  • Produces stronger nails
  • Increases levels in testosterone for men
  • Diminishes irritability
  • Develops better sleep patterns

Make your appointment today and learn more about this convenient, easy and cost-effective weight loss miracle!

My Personal Cleanse– cellular– a journey I am liking A LOT! ISAGENIX is DELICIOUS..

This is a love letter to ISAGENIX straight-up GANGSTER STYLE!

So, my parents finally got me on Isagenix and I am on day 5, have lost 4 pounds, and feel distinctly clean.  I feel my body alkalizing and my mind growing clearer and me growing more patient and calm.  The first day on the shakes and one meal was a little tough as I obsessed about food all day because I knew I could only incorporate 600 calories with the two shakes.  The second day, much easier, and the third CAKE! The fourth, I did the CLEANSE liquid only and survived it! I think If my mom can do it, I can do it! I did it, and even went to the gym! I feel my body changing, adapting to health.  I feel quieter, more serene and pleased.

I listened to a conference call today with doctors who answered questions on how best to use the products and heard a lot of success stories from people who now incorporate total health and wellness everyday with ISAGENIX. To me, it is no different than a decision to buy something weekly at the supermarket.  Only this time, my money is well spent, on a SUPERFOOD, nutritionally perfect, a cleansing agent that also nourishes my body, and some great snacks to get me through those total Cleanse Days.  I honestly cannot imagine NOT FEELING this good ever again.  I cannot imagine not getting every essential mineral, vitamin, and the necessary herbal supplements that promote health and well being.  I cannot believe EVERYONE is NOT taking this.  I cannot believe how depleted our foods are of minerals and vitamins needed to assimilate nutrition in our bodies.  I cannot believe that people would have to think twice about caring for their body, their temple, their one and only.  I cannot believe that my hands and feet are now warm all the time, due to enhanced circulation.  I have a whole infinite list of cannot believes and I look forward to 30 days of really cleansing and then maintaining my health with a shake a day, and the vitamin products from ISAGENIX. I look forward to looking and feeling 15 years younger eternally.

Isagenix! A fast weight loss solution to a fast upcoming SPRING SEASON, be Bikini and Mini Skirt Ready in a flash!

Want to feel 50-75% more Energized? Want to shed that stubborn 5-20 lbs in 1 to 2 months? Can you really put a PRICE on HEALTH? CALL BY SUNDAY to get this special introductory offer by using my name, Sandra Oles. I will be helping you help yourself to feel and look your best!

Read further to get the phone number to begin your trial for only $135 plus shipping to get bikini ready and phyisically healthy!

Want to cleanse your body at the inner most cellular level of toxins and free radicals?  I know I do and I am doing right now! At the end of every winter I can have about 5-10 extra pounds and feel jiggly all over.  I am leaning up my body mass, cleansing my body of toxins, increasing my energy level AND shedding my extra unwanted pounds with one program that takes all the thinking and cooking out of the equation! 

Also, I can honestly tell you that I have spent upwards of $500 at one time on supplements to amp up and heal my different body systems, such as adrenals, energy, liver, .. etc. you name it. It can be downright overwhelming and who has the TIME to do all the research and create specific grocery lists, and cook special meals and spend so much time at the super market searching for all these items!! UGH! Just thinking about it gives me a headache!! If any of you know, I am a BUSY person, I handmake belts, sell them at shows, work 2 part time jobs, have an internet radio blog interview show, have this blog, have an independent film review blog and now am adding bartending one night a week into the mix! IF ANYONE NEEDS TO BE FIT, LEAN, ENERGETIC and healthy I AM IT! ALONG WITH EVERY ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.. ! With this economy you have to be a hustler! I am excited to introduce to you a great product and am excited to be able to share with you a SPECIAL deal and the ability for you to make money as well! I have a lot of friends out of work, who feel less than optimal, health wise and energetically due to lack of a real schedule!

Isagenix solves all those time issues, educational time including reading up on each and every supplement to figure out which one is vitally important for what you want to improve.  Isagenix is your nutritionist! It is everything you need without all the hassles of having to educate yourself and purchase all the special items!

My stepfather, who is a runner, and very fit conscious falls off the wagon just like all of us once in awhile,  and he and my mother have participated in tons of programs to institute weight loss and facilitate healthand this program has not only been successful, but they feel a marked difference in the way they feel every day! They were so excited to share with me their weightloss and healthsecret– ISAGENIX!  So naturally, I HAD to try it because I know me and most every other person on the planet, IF you can take the thinking out, LOWER YOUR GROCERY BILL ( I spend about 130 a WEEK on GROCERIES!!), instead you spend $135 for a month which includes approx 2 meals a day (shakes)  and one super cleanse a week!

In 30 days, you will be bikini ready or at least shorts ready, maybe even mini skirt ready, without all the hassles of special food prep, without excess time searching frantically for every item in the “recipe” and in the supplement aisle scratching your head and spending a bloody fortune!!

Girls and boys SUMMER IS A COMIN! Get a head start on weight loss now!

Girls and boys SUMMER IS A COMIN! Get a head start on weight loss now!

If you want to be bikini ready in a short time, you have nothing to lose except those extra pounds and sluggish fatigue and EVERYTHING to gain, Energy, Health, Vitality, and a no brain plan to feeling great! Every health and wellness expert out there talks about cleansing the body of toxins and here is a way to do it quickly, efficiently, effectively and easily.  What is there to think about?  If GNC carried this product it would cost twice as much because afterall, they have to pay their rent! Isagenix cuts out the middle man so they can make their superior product affordable! So many companies are now going in this direction for example, Neal’s Yard, which used to havestores all over the place now instead recognizes the genius in word of mouth marketing and direct sales.  These companies want to reward you and your friends for endorsing it.

Use it yourself, feel great and lose those extra stubborn pounds!  You will then feel compelled to share the “secret’ just as I am! The shakes are easy, delicious and fulfilling! Have a sensible meal for your third and cleanse once a week (you will urinate a lot so make it a day where you will be near a restroom :) … lose that gut and the gut can be stubborn with age!

This is what I recommend for your “starter” program- try it for 30 days and see and feel the results: ONE CHOC AND ONE VANILLA IsaLeanShake, we like to combine them, half and half, or you can do one, with 3 to 4 ice cubes, a banana and water! YUM… essential protein for brain funtion and to retain and build new muscle which will burn fat! 

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a gimmick, because it’s not. Everyone who knows me trusts my advice, my opinions and knows I am good for everything I say and do.  I would never steer anyone wrong for the sake of making a buck, which is why I blog! I love to share information.  This information just happens to be worth it’s weight in gold!

Imagine if GUCCI paid out everytime you bought from them?  Isagenix is like GUCCI for the body! Trust me ! 

  • Call my Nutrition Coach Kim - 518-339-7849 to get this SPECIAL TRIAL DEAL WHICH ENDS SUNDAY, March 7th! If nothing else, you will lose 5 – 10 lbs in ONE MONTH! Can’t beat that with a bat!

You will get: The Shake and Cleanse Kit which includes 2 Isalean Shakes, vanilla or choc, or one of each (I got one of each)!! and one Cleanse for Life liquid or powder! This gives you just about enough for a full 30 day supply for weight loss and optimal health!

SelfGrowth.com One of My Favorite Web Sites.. Check it Out! Great for New Year Personal Goals!

bask in the sunlight of self improvement

bask in the sunlight of self improvement

Occassionally I stumble upon some amazing web sites that are chock full of helpful information and SelfGrowth.Com is one of my faves.  I have signed up to be on their email list and get great tips via email on a regular basis from some of the leading self improvement, human potential experts out there.  This site is relatively new, but growing quickly.  I get totally excited about supplements, health and attempting to feel my best all the time.  I won’t lie, I have been feeling a little fatigued lately, so I have been very focused on creating energy, vitality, and health in 2010! I want to feel PERFECT.. don’t we all? I will share with you what I do… short of chocolate.. which I am going to have to give up… because I have an aggressive fitness goal for this year of my life… plus, the gym is so great for people watching.  What makes me laugh is EVERYone looks miserable and looks you in the eye at the gym.  When I people watch, I don’t look people in the eye, I do it discreetly.  The gym and the train are curious places… people are generally focused, blank faced, appear somewhat miserable and tense… HA HA HA … I am going on a tangent here… back to SelfGrowth.com. CHECK IT OUT..

On the home page, there is a great article on Amino Acids, which I already knew about because of reading Ultra Brain, but I will cut and past a down and dirty list for you all, SO HELPFUL…

Link for full article on Amino Acids is here: http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/amino_acids_vital_for_optimal_body_function

Make sure you look for supplements with the following ingredients:

Acetyl L-Carnation: This anti-aging compound will enhance your immune function, stimulate antioxidant activity and slow mental aging.
N-Acetyl Cysteine: This powerhouse compound enhances the effectiveness of other antioxidants and helps the liver produce the MEGA-antioxidant glutathione.
L-Alanine: Your body relies heavily on this amino acid for protein synthesis.
L-Arginine: This plays a role in cell division, healing of wounds, ammonia removal, immune function and the release of hormones. It has also been shown to increase hGH production, improve exercise performance and promote heart health.
L-Aspartic Acid: Because aspartic acid increases stamina, many people find it very helpful in fighting fatigue.
L-Glutamine: This amino can pass through the blood-brain barrier and is regarded as the “ultimate brain food.”

They forget L-Tyrosine, which I LOVE… but Amino Acids are the joint when it comes to energy and protein synthesis!

Set a Goal and Meet It.. Head On…

 

This is my very first Video Blog.. I didn’t want to over think, over plan, and over prepare… I thought to jump in, do it, get it done, since I told about 6 people I was going to start video blogging.. I HAD TO DO IT… I don’t prefer to be thought of as “hot air.”  I am a doer, and that is how I live, breathe and operate. While it isn’t perfect, it was fun, challenging to step outside my comfort zone and go it alone.  I hope you enjoy it… I will improve with practice and hope to entertain, inform, and impart wisely, responsibly… responsibly within my world of reasoning, which can be drastically different than the norm… my gift to you is direct, without pretense… me..

LIQUI-D3 “ONE” DROP DAILY WILL DO YOU GOOD.. !

$16

$16

Yesterday, my chiropractor was cracking open a box of this Liqui-D3.  I knowingly take a pill supplement version but am running out.  I eagerly asked, “Why is this good?”  He explained that it takes away risk of breast cancer 3/4s, prostate cancer by half, and colon cancer by 3/4s.  That is good enough for me.  Just one drop of this is 2000 iu! One drop, forget getting the pills out of the bottle and then getting liquid to wash them down AND having to take more than one pill to qualify for the recommended dosage! This is the EASY way to get Vitamin D!

LIQUI-D3provides cholecalciferol, a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D, in a nutritious, olive oil base. Vitamin D has been the subject of intensive research which has greatly increased our understanding of vitamin D deficiency. This research has also expanded the range of therapeutic applications available for cholecalciferol. Physiologic requirements for vitamin D may be as high as 4000 IU per day. 

The body cannot adequately absorb calcium without vitamin D, a hormone that is manufactured in the skin when sunlight strikes. Its presence is crucial for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong.

Research also suggests vitamin D may play a role in helping the body prevent:
heart disease
high blood pressure
arthritis
chronic pain
depression
inflammatory bowel disease
obesity
premenstrual syndrome
muscular weakness
fibromyalgia
Crohns disease
multiple sclerosis
autoimmune illness
cancer

MSM, the miracle supplement/mineral.. check it out!

msmMSM Supports Multiple Structures and Functions in the Body.

Allergies: MSM is said to help fortify the body’s natural barriers against allergens. Oral MSM helps in the alleviation of allergic response to pollen and foods. Sulphur plays a major role in detoxification and elimination of free radicals. It also assists the integrity of the mucous membrane tissues.

Respiratory System: MSM helps strengthen the lungs, possibly regulating the fluid that covers the surface of the airways. It may provide relief from the symptoms of lung dysfunction by the plasticizing effect on the membranous surface of the lung involved in gas exchange.

Carbohydrate Metabolism: Sulphur is needed to produce insulin and other vital components that contribute to healthy carbohydrate metabolism. MSM helps make the cells more permeable allowing them to absorb blood sugar. Alpha Lipoic Acid, a sulphur containing compound, plays a role in the generation of energy and in glucose balance.

Hair, Skin and Nails: Sulphur is necessary for the production of collagen and keratin These proteins are essential for the health and maintenance of hair, skin and nails. Collagen binds the structures of skin together while keratin is the primary component in hair, nails, skin and tooth enamel. MSM enhances tissue pliability and encourages repair of damaged skin.

Gastro – intestinal: MSM helps promote good digestive and absorption of nutrients. It helps us to utilize the food we eat. Sulphur-bearing vitamins such as thiamine prevent constipation and biotin, another B vitamin, helps to metabolize and digest starches, fats and proteins.

Bones, Joints and Ligament’s: Sulphur is critical in the formation of collagen and glucosamine- which are vital components for healthy bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. Sulphur also makes cells more permeable, allowing nutrients and fluids to flow freely through the cells and remove toxins; ultimately reducing pain and inflammation.

Buy it here for $13.76 http://bit.ly/CNZkj

MSM works to build collagen, helping to create smooth skin, thick lustrous hair, and strong nails. MSM makes the tissues more permeable so that they may move nutrients in and toxins out with greater ease. MSM has a remarkable effect at neutralizing foreign proteins (i.e. allergens, toxins, undigested food) making it anti-inflammatory. MSM works to enhance beauty and restore vitality to our skin and joints. MSM works particularly well in conjunction with vitamin-C rich foods. This MSM comes to you as a pure white crystaline powder.

MSM provides a source of organic sulfur for the amino acids that are essential for internal cleansing and improved flexibility. These same sulfur-bearing amino acids are found in abundance within Sun Warrior Protein. This protein powder exhibits a 98% digestion efficiency rating, shuttling these essential amino acids directly to the tissues where they are most needed. Combine MSM Flakes with Protein in any shake or smoothie to speed the cleansing process, repair damaged skin and hair, and tone the muscles even more effectively than either used alone.

Ease Allergies with This Vitamin?

health_20070921_folate_bannerCould better allergy control come from a vitamin bottle?  Maybe. A new study suggests vitamin B9, also known as folate, may help improve your immune system’s ability to stand up to common allergens.  The Folate Factor
A national health survey of over 8,000 people revealed that higher blood levels of folate were often coupled with less severe reactions to common allergens. Specifically, the folate-lovers’ blood contained fewer of the immune-system antibodies that are released during allergic reactions — and the group was also less likely to report asthma or wheezing.

Exciting, But Early . . .
The research sounds pretty promising, especially considering that other studies have revealed an association between higher levels of folate and less risk of inflammation-related diseases, like heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis. But more studies are needed to confirm the allergy research. Regardless, getting adequate amounts of folate is a worthy health goal. Just don’t go overboard.

Aim for about 700 micrograms per day from food and supplements. Use this tool to find folate-rich foods.

RealAge Benefit: Getting 700 micrograms of folate (folic acid) a day from your diet or a supplement can make your RealAge 0.8 years younger.
