Heart Healthy Foods
When you mention the month of February, two thoughts usually come to mind. One of course is whether that darn groundhog will see its shadow determining whether we will have a long winter. The other is February 14th, a day where love and friendship are celebrated.
However, the month of February is known as Heart Health Month, and with that in mind, I would like to share with you heart healthy foods and in addition share with you a free webcast led by a doctor from a licensed medical clinic sharing more information about heart health.
Before I share some of the top heart healthy foods, I do want to mention that before you make any changes to your diet, to consult with your physician. In addition, never get overwhelmed with trying to make changes. Just start to incorporate one or two modifications and slowly add/subtract from your diet. Also, there is a live webcast on February 12th that provides information on heart health (see info below).

Online Heart Health Event on February 12th at 7:30pm Eastern
While February is known for Valentine’s Day, where we give from the heart, the month of February is also know as Heart Month.
This began in 1963 to encourage people to join the battle against heart disease.
Did you know, according to the CDC ¹:
- About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2009 were in men.
- Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease, killing over 370,000 people annually.
- Every year about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack. Of these, 525,000 are a first heart attack and 210,000 happen in people who have already had a heart attack.
That’s why I am so excited to share with you a free online event on heart health.

Online Brain Health Event on August 14th
Brain health is a concern for many people but many don’t know what they can be doing. In fact AARP held a survey with 40+ adults and found that while virtually everyone knew it was important to maintain or improve brain health, many did not know or engage in activities that promote brain health.
It’s important to understand how to properly take care of your brain for a fulfilling and healthy life.
That’s why I am so excited to share with you a free online event on brain health.
Learn about the latest brain health research and innovations. You’ll also learn:

Hi! Seeking answers to adult onset muscle loss? For those of you curious, did you know you start to lose muscle as you age? According to webmd, at some point in your 30s, you start to lose muscle mass and function. Physically inactive people can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30. Even if you are active, you’ll still have some muscle loss. Adult onset muscle loss can affect your enjoying your life and doing the things you love to do. It starts to happen slowly and then by the time it’s more of a reality, you are now in the defensive mode vs the offensive mode.
So what can you do? Is it just that you may be living a more sedentary lifestyle? Being more active can help, but for those of you who are active thinking you have nothing to worry about, please read on. While people who are active lose muscle mass more slowly, you still lose muscle mass as you age. According to the National Institute of Health, to retain their anatomical integrity and function, muscles need continuous repair and maintenance, and some evidence exists that the repair mechanism is dysfunctional in older individuals.
Also, according to the National Institute of Health, mounting evidence suggests that along with good diet and vitamin supplementation, this muscle damage can be mitigated with regular physical activity. Key words here . . . along with regular physical activity, good diet AND vitamin supplementation.
First lets tackle physical activity. If you are not active (and if you are starting an exercise routine, be sure to check with your physician first), the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) recommend engaging in muscle strengthening activities targeting all major muscle groups at least two days per week, especially resistance exercise. Here is a great resource on guidelines, no matter what age and look at the benefits you’ll receive overall by engaging in a regular exercise routine. Click HERE to read more.
Now let’s talk about diet and supplementation.
Many people turn to either whey protein or other protein drinks or take a product that has branched chain amino acids believing that just by adding more protein in their diet, it will eliminate muscle loss and sadly that is not the solution.
Why? These types of protein supplements have not proven to be consistently helpful in older people. The problem is the same as why we lose muscle as we age: The normal ability of dietary protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis is diminished as we age. ¹
Would you be open to learning about a breakthrough in nutritional science? Something that is easy to do, and can stop and reverse muscle loss? Something that has been backed by years of laboratory research?
I realize there are many products available in the marketplace and everyone shares their product is better than anything else out there. However, the formula behind this product, while new, took years to be precisely adjusted to specifically stimulate muscle protein synthesis in the aging population.² Now if you are in the younger crowd, it can definitely help you in improving your performance, strength and endurance, but what’s significant is the ideal mixture of essential amino acids equally brought about improved muscle protein synthesis in younger people AND older people.
This is a major breakthrough as Dr. Wolfe, PHD, shares in his book, “The Building Blocks of Life”, considering the fact that stimulating muscle protein synthesis in older individuals is an age-old challenge.. This product is 3 x stronger than whey protein isolate and has all 9 essential amino acids. More important, it has the perfect and optimal balance of the 9 essential amino acids.
E
very amino acid is a structural component of protein. If you search on google for the benefits of each amino acid, you may decide to play scientist and decide to take more of a particular amino acid. However, the adverse effects will likely outweigh the benefits sought. Why? Because the amino acids do not work independently of each other – they work together, and taking them in the correct proportions is just as important as taking the essential amino acids in the first place. This formula has had 25 human clinical trials including NASA bed rest studies. Many of the studies were to find that perfect balance.

New Brain Health Supplement and FREE Online Assessment
Thanks for stopping by to learn more about a new brain health supplement and about a free online assessment. If you are like me, you want to live a healthy life not only physically but
also mentally. In fact, mental decline is one of the most feared consequences of aging¹
Brain disorders are on the rise, so caring for your brain isn’t something you can afford to ignore. Every 65 seconds, in the U.S., someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.²
It’s important to understand how to properly take care of your brain for a fulfilling and healthy life. Many people know that regular exercise and a healthy diet are very important, as well as having the right amount of sleep, however, dietary supplements can also help.
Before I share with you about this new brain health supplement, I do want to add that while many people know they need to exercise more and eat the right foods, a big question people also ask is what type of exercise is best and what kind of food should I be eating.
There is an online assessment that will only take 10 minutes of your time. This assessment is backed by 150 million pages of scientific research by leading clinical geneticists. 30,000 scientific publications. Every question that is included in this assessment has a purpose and is backed by science. (available in US and Canada)

Hi. Thanks for stopping by. If you are reading this, I am assuming you are seeking to increase muscle mass and strength. How would you like to have the ability to perform at a higher level, have a faster recovery and increase muscle mass and strength with just one change to what you are currently doing. And please know, this is not a miracle product. 🙂 This is to be used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise routine you are currently doing. Though it can also help folks who are older and seeking to stop and prevent muscle loss, I wanted to share today that if your goal is to strengthen your muscles, add muscle mass, fine tune your peak-performing body or take your physical fitness to the next level, I think you will be interested in learning more. 🙂
First, I do want to say you need an open mind. This product is a breakthrough in nutritional science. The word breakthrough means a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.. So it goes beyond what you currently know to work when you are seeking to increase muscle mass and strength. I want to say this up front because I recently spoke to someone who said well, I will only take a look this product if it does this, 
and proceeded to list the “known ways” and was restricting it to those limitations.
