Listen to the replay here “Stop Your Sugar and Food Cravings”

For 18 years I’ve been focused on nutrition, and my business has always revolved around education with big goals and little steps.

I’m increasingly disturbed by research that shows the average North American consumes approximately 150 pounds of food additives per year, including sugar, sweeteners, salt, vitamins, flavorings and colorings, flavor enhancers, shelf-life extending chemicals, and preservatives.

These substances not only create havoc in our bodies, they lower IQ as well.

To combat this, I designed an action plan for myself and my family using simple principles and commonsense strategies.

Within one week of following this plan and these principles, I felt calmer and slept much better; my cravings diminished; I had fewer PMS symptoms; there was less bloating; and I had no more acne.

My skin was glowing, my digestion improved, and I lost weight. That’s how “Stop Sugar and Food Cravings” was born.

Then I started using this program with clients with tremendous results. I now offer it to you!

My program offers simple, doable, and effective things you can do starting tomorrow to eliminate the junk food and sugar cravings that are running your life and ruining your health.

And I share seven concrete steps you can take to jumpstart your new healthy lifestyle.

In this teleclass we also discussed:

• A simple step to transform any bad habit into a healthy, supportive one
• The vital role of real food in our diets
• Improving your mood, energy, and emotions
• Gaining control and creating more self-discipline
• The emotional component to losing weight, and why willpower alone isn’t enough

If we’re overweight, fat cells produce inflammatory chemicals, adding to the overload, and the result is massive amounts of inflammation occurring in our bodies. These pro-inflammatory chemicals, when released, damage our tissues, glands, and everything else.

Raymond Francis is an internationally recognized leader in the field of optimal-health maintenance who has proposed a remarkable concept of health along with a simple program for achieving it that begins by teaching the basics of good health.

He believes health is an individual responsibility, our duty to ourselves. But we’re simply not living up to it. Why? First of all, because nobody ever told us it is a duty; and secondly, nobody ever told us how to do it. But health is a choice, and Raymond’s passion is to help people choose it.

One of the questions I asked him was:

What were the results of his latest research since our last interview? Here’s what he said:

Inflammation is the foundation stone of virtually every chronic disease.

It certainly is a foundation stone of cancer. Inflammation drives cancer. Without inflammation cancer would not exist. Here’s what I’ve been finding. You say inflammation is important. Then you ask the question, “How do you get inflammation? Where does inflammation come from?”

You start looking at the sugar, white flour, and processed oils that we eat. These are all sources of inflammation.

Then we’re overweight, and that’s a source of inflammation. Fat cells produce inflammatory chemicals. Still, we have massive amounts of inflammation going on. You keep asking yourself, “Where is this coming from?” I’m starting to find out where it’s coming from.

I’ll share this with your audience. I haven’t completed all my research on this yet, but I’ll share the conclusions I’ve reached so far.

Our consumption of wheat is a major source of inflammation. I have simply stopped eating wheat. I eat no wheat whatsoever. In fact, I eat very few grains now. I strongly recommend that people stop eating wheat, and here’s why.

What we’ve done over the years is we have hybridized wheat to continually get higher and higher amounts of protein in the wheat.

We now have wheat with very high amounts of protein, much higher than 2,000 years ago. There’s a component of this protein, which is actually one of the proteins; it’s a glycoprotein, which is a protein and a sugar molecule together.

This is a class of compounds called lectins. Lectins are in the wheat to protect the wheat from attack by bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

It does a marvelous job of protecting the wheat from infection. It does this by damaging the cell walls of the bacteria and the fungi and destroying them. Here’s something that is in there to protect the wheat from attack.

Unfortunately, human beings have the same receptor sites on the cells as the fungi and bacteria have. That means that because we have the same receptor sites, the lectins are also going to damage our cells.

Historically, when we were eating wheat 2,000 years ago, it had lectins in it but we had adapted to the amount of lectins.

Now what we’ve done, especially over the last couple hundred years, is we’ve hybridized the wheat to where it has very large amounts of lectins in it now. We have high-protein wheat with large amounts of lectins.

We’re now getting exposed to a tremendous amount of lectins.

Guess what? Lectins, even in very small quantities, are capable of producing pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body. I really think that this is where a lot of our inflammation is coming from. Even at exceedingly low concentrations, lectins will stimulate this production of pro-inflammatory chemicals.

Once you do this, the pro-inflammatory chemicals go out and damage all your tissues, glands, and everything else.

The problem is that we’re producing a lot of inflammation here. Geographically, when you look at the wheat-consuming nations, the countries that consume the most wheat have the most problems with inflammatory diseases.

I’m looking at this thing and asking, “Where’s the inflammation coming from?” I’m looking at the fact that the lectins produce information, and I’m then looking at the fact that wheat-consuming nations have the most inflammatory disease.

It’s starting to form a picture for me. You asked the question of what I’m doing and what my new research is. This is one of the things I’ve come up with recently.

I’m beginning to believe that this is really very profound stuff here. I have gotten off of all wheat totally and completely, and I’m now advising everybody not to eat any wheat.

It may in fact be a very bad choice. Again, it doesn’t take much. What we’re finding in the research is that exceedingly small concentrations of lectins can stimulate the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body.

That muffin for breakfast may be enough to stimulate a lot of inflammation. Then there’s another problem here. Lectins are highly stable molecules, so they’re very resistant to the degradation through a wide variety of pH ranges and a wide variety of temperatures.

They survive cooking, sprouting, fermenting, and digesting. They’re very stable molecules, and they’re also highly resistant to breaking down in the body. They actually bio-accumulate in the body and become incorporated into the tissues where they begin to interfere with your normal biological processes.

I tell you, the more I look at the lectins the scarier they become.

Sue Rasmussen has always been fascinated by the connection between clutter/disorganization in our exterior world and what is going on inside of us. Despite the abundance of information about getting organized and clearing out clutter, our issue with stuff continues to grow. Why are our lives still so stressed and full of stuff and activities? Because those traditional approaches just don’t work. So Sue, a Master Certified Coach, writer and speaker, created a business to help people clear out clutter.

Here’s a recap of what we discussed in the teleclass:

• Practical benefits of clearing clutter
• The most common misconceptions people have about clutter
• Cultural and biological reasons we tend to accumulate and keep things
• The one big question that will help you unclutter, organize, and transform any space
• How to look with fresh eyes at your clutter blind spots
• The seven layers of clutter, called the Clutter Pyramid
• Five areas of physical clutter

Your outer environment is a reflection of what’s going on inside of you, so when things are cluttered, messy, stressful and overwhelming in your physical space, you’ll have a corresponding level of overwhelm and stress inside, which keeps you from living and being your best. Most people have no idea of the far-reaching, negative effects clutter has in every area of their lives.

Do You Know?

• The significant hidden costs of having clutter in your life
• Clutter commonly stems from scarcity beliefs
• If you have clutter in one area, it’s likely you’ll have clutter in other areas
• Most people don’t recognize their own clutter

The good news is that clearing out clutter is a fast, effective way to transform your life! Listen to the replay of the interview with Sue Rasmussen to learn where clutter starts and how to take the first step to clear it away.

During my last interview with Brigitte Mars: Herbalist, nutritional consultant, and raw food chef in Boulder, Colorado; She Talked about Herbs and Foods for Thyroid:

In Chinese medicine the kidneys govern the bones, the teeth, the hair on our head, our libido, our sense of hearing, and the emotions of fear and willpower.

Rather than targeting the complaint, “There is something wrong with my thyroid,” I think we need to look at the fact that it’s the water element of the body. Somehow there may be an imbalance of minerals.

We do know that fluoridated water—and I don’t know if they fluoridate where a lot of the listeners are—can inhibit thyroid function. Rather than going for a drug as a first resort, maybe we need to look at the cause.

Our thyroids as well as our kidneys can benefit from eating more black foods like sea vegetables, wild rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, and sun-cured black olives.

Eat more black foods. Sea vegetables are so high in minerals. They support the kidneys and the thyroid gland. I know there are a lot of people who think that if they have thyroid problems, there are a lot of foods they should omit from their diet, things like millet and peanuts.

However, I don’t agree that everybody needs to stay off of all the cruciferous vegetables unless they’re well cooked.

I think we can make the cruciferous vegetables more digestible by marinating, fermenting, soaking and dehydrating, but I think we lose the anti-cancer compounds in that family when they are heated.

Rather than avoiding all of the raw cruciferous family members—which, by the way, include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, and rutabaga—just eat more seaweeds. It’s really a ratio thing.

As long as we’re getting enough iodine, I don’t think the goitrogens from that family of plants—the cabbage or cruciferous family—really has to be an issue. Of course, nature blesses this planet with all kinds of herbs to help the thyroid.

If you go into a health food store, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Ask whoever works there what kinds of formulas they have. You’re going to see products that contain sea vegetables and herbs from the ocean.

This will include bladderwrack, kelp, wakame, dulse, and hijiki. Maybe there will be some amino acids in there. Tyrosine is good for the thyroid gland, as well. I also think the thyroid gland needs some full-spectrum light. I tell people, “Get outdoors. Don’t wear a scarf.

Let your neck area be exposed to full-spectrum light. Think about doing some exercises that energize that part of your body.” This might include the Lion’s Pose, neck rolls, or should stands.

If you eat enough sea vegetables you won’t need as much medication. That could be like getting a double dose. I don’t want to tell people to just stop taking medicine if they’ve been on it for many years, but I’m always in favor of people educating themselves so they are their primary health care professional.

Then they can ask for help when needed. If we would eat more sea vegetables, we wouldn’t be having all of these thyroid conditions to begin with. I’m not in agreement with quite a few things that modern medicine says. However, I am really in cahoots with a lot of the traditional medicine, which is all about food, herbs, homeopathy, and essential oils. It’s not that I think all medicine is bad.

It’s just that there are so many natural things that people could do first that would result in a need for much less medication. Medication has its place, but that’s the fifth or sixth thing you try after you’ve done steps one through five. Look at emotional things. Are you expressing yourself? Another thing to look at with the thyroid is this: Are the words getting stuck in your throat? Are you being heard? Then look at the herbs.

Far Infrared Sauna-Great Way to Detox: The infrared sauna is incredibly beneficial for detoxification, pain relief, and boosting your mood. Just to give you an example, we recently found a study that showed that when you go in a normal sauna, your sweat is 90% to 95% water. When you go in an infrared sauna, it penetrates about one-and-a-half inches into your subcutaneous fat.

# 1  The book is called: As You Think” In 1904 a little book was written called As a Man Thinketh. This book is a rewriting of that classic by the grandson of the original author.

It is not just a self-help book, a self-empowerment. Each of us has tracks that we play in our minds, things spoken over us in our youth, by parents, teachers, coaches and friends. We have believed these things and lived by them.

This book reminds us that what we believe in our minds and hearts will live out in our flesh. It will help us understand that all we achieve or fail to achieve is first a perception in our minds.

# 2 The Art  of Extreme Self- Care with Cheryl Richardson

 Extreme self-care is for women like Cheryl once was; women who took on the role of caretaker to their detriment. She writes: “I was a good girl, and it was sucking the life out of me.”

The following are some of the concepts of Extreme Self-Care:

* Surround yourself with people who give and take
* Eliminate clutter
* Create a soul-nourishing work and home environment
* Get finances in order
* Don’t make commitments based on guilt or obligation
* Make pleasure a priority

# 3 The Wheat Belly: I interview Dr. William Davis in November, this year!

When Dr. Davis asked his pre-diabetic and diabetic patients to eliminate wheat and whole-grain products from their diets in order to lower blood sugar levels, the results were unexpected and astounding. Lower blood sugar levels were accompanied by weight loss and a reversal of symptoms like: arthritis, migraines, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, colitis, asthma, and rashes. Must read….

# 4 Country Almanac Home Remedies with Brigitte Mars

I refer to this book’s wisdom constantly. An absolute must have for every household!

# 5 The Green Body Cleanse:

“The Green Body Cleanse: The root cause of so many health conditions today is that we have too many toxins coming into the body and not enough toxins going out.

And it’s not just one toxin that causes disease. It’s the combination and accumulation of many different toxins we’re exposed to in our air, water, and food. 

 It all begins indoors, whether at home or work, which is where North Americans spend 90% of our time. If your home and office environments are toxic, you will be too.

Toxins can be generated by off-gassing from paint on walls, cleaning chemicals, carpets, drapes, furniture and clothing, as well as pet dander, dust mites, and mold/mildew. We breathe these toxic substances in and expose our body and nervous system to their effects.

# 6 The Hormone Diet with Dr. Natasha Turner

The Hormone Diet Describe the importance of healthy hormonal balance for men and women of all ages and stages of life;Balance all of the hormones that influence weight – including insulin and our sex, stress and mood hormones. Did you know there are over 16 different hormones that affect our ability to lose weight? Just one hormonal imbalance will sabotage our efforts!

3. Clearly explain all of the lifestyle habits required to restore complete hormonal balance. We all know we need to sleep, to eat, to exercise and to manage stress but did you know there are very specific ways we need to do these tasks to boost the hormones that burn fat?

# 7 Never Fear Cancer Again with Raymond Francis:

Never Fear Cancer Again takes the mystery and fear out of cancer by shining the light of knowledge on it, revealing how cancer is caused, and how to implement its reversal and prevention. Raymond Francis takes the best that science has to offer and reduces it to simple language, providing the reader with what they need to know to become well, stay well and remain cancer free.

# 8 Chemical Cuisine with Dr. Gloria Gilbère

Dr. Gloria shared how to recognize the aliases for MSG on food labels and explained how, even in small amounts, MSG can cause GI distress, migraines, hyperactivity, aggressive behavior, and sleeplessness.

There has been a sharp rise in these conditions, even in our young children.

Why? Because they are exposed to them while their bodies and immune systems are still developing. The potential damage these chemicals do is frightening.
