Documentation Table of Contents If you live in the continental US, you have the option of ordering blood work through this web page from the convenience of your home. A: You can take the two products together.
However, for optimal results, Restoriix ideally should be taken on an empty stomach. Q: Would it be okay to put Slenderiiz in plastic bottles to carry around? A: We recommend leaving it in the glass bottles. This is to keep the product unaltered as plastic can leach chemicals, especially when using alcohol.
Greater improvement in rate of loss and total amount of loss was attained related to whether subjects consumed Slenderiiz products along with foundational Nutritional Supplements and detoxifying with Restoriix, as well as with the addition of Rejuveniix to all of the above.
Visceral adipose fat tissue measures and serum inflammatory markers that indicate health risks were improved. Serum measures related to cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly improved. Finally, physical, psychological and emotional changes in the subjects were observed.
Subjects losing weight at an increased rate noted increased enthusiasm, energy, and confidence. The psychological impact of being empowered with the knowledge and ability to create a powerfully positive metabolic shift, especially within such a short period of time, was transformational for all test subjects taking ARIIX products, rather than calorie reduction alone.
Finding a product to enhance the effectiveness of healthy lifestyle choices to induce fat loss could significantly reduce the health complications, medical costs and death rates associated with obesity. This study attempts to examine such a product. These latest figures from the Center for Disease Control CDC demonstrate that obesity continues to be a significant public health problem.
An analysis estimated the obesity prevalence among adults, by state, from self-reported weight and height data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System BRFSS found that state-specific obesity prevalence ranged from The obesity prevalence ranged from The obesity prevalence was higher in the South Curbing obesity by calorie limiting alone is often not effective due to hormonal protective responses.
Too low of a daily caloric intake over a sustained period of time, can sabotage long term weight loss by suppressing metabolism, possibly causing the body to lock up fat stores for future survival.
Hence, there is often a leveling of the rate at which a low-calorie diet alone will reduce weight and stabilize to an ideal weight long term. In order to reduce risk of obesity-related secondary diseases, complete lifestyle intervention is necessary which addresses nutrient dense nutrition, thereby opening the pathways for optimal metabolism and detoxification. Within the last five years, the emerging field of epigenetic research has shown that the hormonal implications from the glycemic index values, glycemic load values and toxic chemical burdens from air, water and food are critically linked to whether or not an individual will gain or lose weight—even in the presence of a calorie deficit.
Epigenetics is the study of gene regulation, manipulation and the resulting expression of health or disease. This suggests that genes have very little innate bearing on daily cell health, when compared to other factors. Homeopathy is a year old medical discipline with a proven track record of both safety and efficacy.
Homeopathic preparations have been regulated under the law since the inception of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, authored by Senator Royal Copeland, M. Contributing factors include hormonal responses to excessive stress—whether dietary, emotional or environmental; capacity for cellular detoxification, neurotransmitter communication, stable hunger patterns and freedom from addictive behaviors.
All of these contribute to systemic flushing of abnormal fat stores, when balance in achieved. Slenderiix was successfully tested in over 10, patients prior to ARIIX obtaining exclusivity and beginning in-house beta testing and clinical observation.
The Materia Medica catalogs all methodology within the discipline of homeopathy and references the functions of each remedy as excerpted below:. Ammonium Bromatum: Indicated in chronic laryngeal and pharyngeal catarrh, neuralgic headaches, and obesity. Avena Sativa: Exhibits selective action on brain and nervous system, favorably influencing their nutritive function. Indicated in nervous exhaustion, sexual debility, and addictive morphine habit.
Best tonic for debility after exhausting diseases and sleeplessness, especially of alcoholics. Also addresses nervous states of many chronic female concerns. Calcarea Carbonica: Chief action is supporting impaired nutritional metabolism; the glands, skin, and bones, being most instrumental in changes evidenced.
Needed for increased local and general perspiration [for normal systemic detoxification]… nausea, acidosis, and breathlessness, a jaded state—mental or physical, due to overwork.
Fucus Vesiculosis: A remedy for obesity and non-toxic goiter, thyroid enlargement in obese patients. Digestion is enhanced, normalizing obstinate constipation, and flatulence diminished.
Ignatia Amara: One of the chief remedies for hysteria. It is especially adapted to the nervous temperament of women who are of sensitive, easily excited nature, quick to react, rapid in execution and change of mental and physical condition, nervous, apprehensive, rigid, trembling who suffer acutely with mental or physical stress. Lycopodium Clavatum: Supports conditions where ailments are gradually developing with functional weakening regarding digestion, liver function, and predisposition to uric acid metabolism, intolerance to cold and muscular strength.
Marked regulating influence upon the glandular sebaceous secretions, those benefitting from Lycopodium lack vital heat [indicating lower than optimal metabolism] have poor circulation, with cold extremities, acute temporary pains, and sensitivity to noise and odors.
Nux Vomica: Typical individuals calmed by Nux are thin, spare, quick, active, nervous, and irritable. Especially adapted to digestive disturbances, flatulent abdominal distention and hypochondrial states, Nux may also address conditions such as ravenous hunger, sour taste in mouth, nausea in the morning after eating; weight and pain in stomach, and feeling worse after eating.
Sulfuricum Acidum: This remedy supports those with chronic acidosis, digestive tract abnormalities, and may be evidenced by a craving for stimulants. Tremor and weakness, hurried temperament, hot flashes followed by perspiration with trembling, diminished rate of healing after medical procedures, gastralgia and hypochlorrhydria. Thyroidinum: Exercises a general regulating influence over the mechanism of the organs of nutrition, growth and development.
Used in psoriasis, tachycardia, arrested development in children, linked to improvement in memory, goiter, obesity, mammary tumors, uterine fibroids, fibroid tumors of the breast. Addresses the sensation of faintness and nausea, extreme weakness and hunger, sensitivity to cold and symptoms of Hypothyroidism after acute diseases, i.
Homeopathic drugs are also covered by the Medicare-Medicaid Statute, 42 U. The coenzyme form of B12, known as methylcobalamin, provides the foundational structure of the Xceler8 product. Methyl donors are also used for neutralizing destructive byproducts, such as homocysteine, into benign substances, which would otherwise contribute to disease.
Methylcobalamin is the only form of B12 that is able to dispose of homocysteine through methylation and enables the production of SAMe, S-adenosyl methionine , the most important methyl donor for adequate glutathione levels to be possible. Adequate glutathione synthesis in the body is the hallmark of a strong immune system and high functioning metabolism.
Cyanocobalamin is chemically-derived synthetic or analog vitamin B. The B vitamin portion is cleaved to a cyanide molecule, which requires the presence of a methyl donor to be broken down by the liver to split off the toxic cyanide component, allowing the remainder to be converted to the biologically active form of methyl B This synthetic cyanocobalamin B12 is typically times cheaper than methylcobalamin, and contributes to system-wide methyl donor depletion, which can cause a relative shift in homocysteine metabolism, increasing significant risk of heart disease, neurological degeneration and measureable age-related brain shrinkage.
All of these directly cause B12 depletion. Without adequate B vitamins to suspend the bile salts in the liver, fat soluble nutrients are not able to be assimilated, resulting in compromised metabolic, neurological and immune function.
Subjects in a study reported in Neuropsychopharmacology comparing the effects of methylcobalamin as compared to cyanocobalamin, reported remarkable results in only one week of supplementation. Methyl B12 users reported reduced sleep time, with increased sleep quality and feeling more well-rested upon rising, increased day time energy and ability to concentrate.
Even when tested in isolation, biotin plays a significant role in several key metabolic functions in digestion and blood sugar regulation. Biotin supports the integumentary skin and nervous systems by facilitating repair of nerve damage due to type 2 diabetes, and fosters improved glycemic impact on these systems. Rhodiola Rosea and Ashwaganda are adaptogenic herbs used traditionally in both Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine.
Adaptogens are defined by their ability to have a normalizing effect on the body, allowing the individual to become more resilient to chronic stressors, whether physical or emotional. Adaptogens are non-toxic plant based therapies that normalize physiological functions which have been disturbed by chronic stress. These work through correction of balance to the neuroendocrine and immune systems.
Specifically, rhodiola has been shown to prevent the excess release of cortisol and adrenaline in response to stress, also blunting the increase in cholesterol and triglycerides typically triggered in response to stress. Rhodiola helps to transport serotonin precursors, reducing depression; and increases body fat to muscle ratio by mobilizing fatty acid stores during exercise, supporting increased fat burning.
Studies have concluded that supplements containing natural food nutrient complexes are better than supplements containing only isolates. Getting appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals every day is essential to not only a high functioning metabolism, but these can be the critical differentiators between vital health and the simple absence of an illness.
Because most people in the world are deficient in one or more of the 40 vitamins, minerals and other essential biochemical nutrients necessary every day for minimal survival; and the human body was created with an innate ability to adapt to amazing variables and still survive, we observe most people today experience life, not in a state of vital health, but fluctuating on the continuum between the absence of illness and experiencing illness.
As a nation, Americans are over fed and yet, undernourished and chronically stressed. This chronic state of deficiency results in a down shifting of the metabolism to attempt to spare what nutrient resources are remaining. This is most evidenced by mental sluggishness, poor digestion, daytime fatigue, poor sleep, chronic aches and pains due to inflammation, and cravings that are not satisfied by food.
As the brain signals the body to input more nutrients to try to satisfy these vital deficiencies, and people answer these signals with low-nutrient convenience foods—notoriously high in sugar, starch, vegetable oils, chemical additives and stimulants—metabolism continues to down regulate and disease breeds at a faster rate. Bruce Ames, Ph. In his observations, he found that over 50 enzymes within the body are completely dependent upon daily intake of adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids in order to be catalyzed.
These nutrients, which have to be taken in daily, a minimum of twice a day, to replenish fuel necessary for routine cellular renewal throughout the day, are the critical factors which determine whether human genes are prompted to express health or disease. Ames found that a deficiency of any one of this array of critical micronutrients, posed a threat of oxidative stress damage to cellular integrity and metabolism that was equal to and in some circumstances, greater than times the known damaging effects of radiation!
This means the entire body is then operating in survival mode of a low functioning metabolism, while usually experiencing a default of fat storage to conserve nutrient resources, and creeping closer to chronic degenerative disease.
Ames observes what he describes as a shift within the body toward short-term survival gene expression as a coping mechanism in times of low nutrient intake. This shifting into survival mode simultaneously requires sacrificing expression of genes that produce long-term health. Ames also postulates that micronutrient deficiencies that trigger the triage response would accelerate cancer, aging, and neurological decline, but would leave critical functions like ATP production, intact.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys NHANES have long reported that the food intake of the following groups of people in the United States does not provide adequate nutrition from all 40 essential nutrients for adequate health: the poor, teenagers, menstruating women, the obese, and the elderly.
Opinion has now shifted, according the Estimated Average Requirement EAR , [see Table 1], that micronutrient levels from food are probably not adequate for anyone else either, to express optimal health without disease. Westernized diets are typically characterized by excessive calories from starchy carbohydrates and processed oils, and below micronutrient thresholds determined essential for minimal health.
Ames notes that this low consumption of micronutrients accompanied by calorie excess may be the norm with those that are overweight and obese, and contributes to the deadly diseases associated with obesity. When one component of the metabolic network is inadequate, there may be a variety of repercussions in metabolism, including acceleration of degenerative diseases.
This Blended Standard has become the bar that therapeutic quality multi-vitamins are measured against to determine if they are prepared in adequate dosing of non-toxic and effective forms of each nutrient, and if all essential nutrients are present and combined in the correct ratios one to another. The Optimals adhere to this Blended Standard.
Ray Strand, in his book Healthy for Life, notes that these nutrients are needed in greater amounts than can usually be obtained by food alone. In his practice, he has personally seen reversal of Type 2 Diabetes in hundreds of patients who optimize their nutrient intake with critical levels of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids and who employ the lifestyle modifications described in his Healthy for Life program.
He also testifies to incredible gains in glycemic control with Type 1 Diabetics, and reversing the symptoms of metabolic syndrome, thereby preventing the onset of Diabetes in thousands of people worldwide using a similar combination of appropriate supplementation, low-glycemic diet and modest exercise. Anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats in bio-available fish oil lower the production of prostaglandins and cytokines that trigger inflammatory responses. Clinical studies have shown that stress and depression are associated with too many inflammatory cytokines in the body, and not enough anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats are one of the foremost contributors.
These two factors typically are present before abnormal fat storage begins, and continue to mount along with unwanted weight. However, most integrative medicine specialists initially use a therapeutic loading dose with a minimum dose of mgs of omega 3 oils per day, and for those patients who are severely obese, depressed, or overtly stressed, they may use much higher doses to get significant results within a 90 day time frame.
Because of the state of the environment today, many fish contain high levels of mercury, PCBs polychlorinated biphenyls , dioxins and other environmental toxins, which concentrate in fat stores of both the fish and the people who consume them.
These fat-soluble toxins lock up fat cells and contribute to the metabolic dysfunction, which is evidenced by not being able to lose weight, even when eating less and exercising more. Governing officials allow hexane residues to be present as a tradeoff for the removal of the heavy metal residues common to commercially available fish oils. This residual hexane in most fish oil supplements can accumulate over time and cause considerable nervous system damage. ARIIX has sourced a pristine omega 3 fish oil from the only manufacturer in the world who has patented a unique low temperature, enzyme fermentation purification process which ensures the delicate anti-inflammatory properties are not only kept fully intact, but yields a superior product that is tasteless and odorless, with no unpleasant digestive after-effects that are typical of hexane-distilled or rancid fish oil products common to the shelves of vitamin chains and superstores.
Enzyme purification also eliminates chemical waste byproducts, thereby reducing environmental impact resulting from disposing of hexane into the environment. Chia seeds are a superior source of vegan protein and contain over 30 nutrients. Insoluble fiber scrubs intestinal walls and loosens impacted debris, while the balance of soluble fiber effectively absorbs up to twelve times its weight in fluids. Excessive toxic load in the body causes over production of free radicals which mutates DNA, causing premature aging and accelerating disease pathology.
Aging and disease are observed when DNA mutations occur within the cells and these damaged cells reproduce. Since chlorophyll is the highest known food source of RNA repair proteins, finding foods sources rich in chlorophyll would inhibit DNA mutations from reproducing, according to Dr.
Frank pioneered dietary nucleic acid therapy which has proven RNA and DNA rich supplements reverse symptoms of aging and disease and increase metabolism by increasing cellular energy ATP for improving intercellular communication in the body, improving rejuvenation, detoxification, and rapid healing.
Ocean mammals consuming large amounts of chlorophyll-rich sea vegetables, including spirulina and chlorella, have no visible signs of aging once they reach adolescence. Chlorella has more than twice the RNA density per gram of any animal protein, making it the richest natural dietary source of these detoxifying nutrients.
Spirulina is high in natural iodine, which nourishes the thyroid, protects all glandular tissues and ultimately supports both immune and metabolic function. To improve metabolism, spirulina has been proven to improve glycemic control and dislipidemia in Type II diabetics. This immune system inflammatory response is typically high due to allergic responses, but was completely normalized in 6 weeks of feeding spirulina twice daily.
With an average alkalinity factor of 9. In addition, when fat is released due to dieting, these toxic stores are freed up and circulate within the body, which can cause significant side effects if they are not completely eliminated by the digestive tract.
If toxic load overwhelms these pathways, the possibility of reabsorbing toxins can trigger a protective response of shuttling toxins into fat storage, represented by a weight loss plateau or rebound weight gain. Detoxification has been shown to effectively protect against these metabolic set-backs. Rejuveniix also contains a blend of acai, maqui, sea buckthorn and goji berries, as well as mangosteen and noni fruits.
This variety of berries and fruits represents a wide range of antioxidant coverage shown to support immune function, heart health and metabolic sufficiency. Represented within Rejuveniix are anthocyanins, xanthones, a variety of carotenoids such as beta carotene and zeaxanthin, and plant sterols known to support heart health, detoxification and modulate oxidative stress.
After consuming a meal with berries, serum levels were drawn at 15, 30 and minutes, and compared to blood glucose responses at the same intervals following a control meal. High levels of polyphenol antioxidants in berries are attributed for this compensory affect.
The focus and energy portion of the Rejuveniix formula comes from a balance of the amino acid l-theanine, kava kava root extract and green coffee bean extract. ARIIX only sources the highest quality kava kava root from the Republic of Vanuatu due to superior potency and highest lactone content.
This lends properties that support healthy blood pressure and the ability to relax the mind and muscles without sedative effects and loss of mental clarity.
Green Coffee Bean Extract GBCE is a rich source of chlorogenic acid, which has been shown to have significant effects on both body mass and reducing body fat when used long term in both overweight and obese subjects. In comparison, common sources of caffeine contain cafestol and other compounds associated with the negative effects of using caffeine as a stimulant. Research has shown the combination of ingredients in Rejuveniix to support clarity of mind and positive mental outlook by supporting neurotransmitter production and cellular communication, and healthy energy levels.
The table below provides the initial weight in pounds and variation of both genders. Subjects were given a 1, calorie, low-glycemic, low starch, functional food meal plan that included a minimum amount of healthy fats from coconut oil, avocados and raw sprouted nuts or their cold pressed oils.
Inappropriate balance of omega 3 to 6 oils blocks the pathway to healing metabolism, alters cell signaling and optimal neurotransmitter and hormone rebalance, and blunts potential of therapeutic efficacy intended by including Omega-Q.
Subjects were instructed to choose at least twice as many non-starchy fresh vegetables as protein portions per meal to provide plenty of fiber rich carbohydrates which are also dense in anti-inflammatory nutrients. All groups, except the placebo group, were using the Slenderiix and Xceler8 before each meal throughout the 12 week trial. With all groups the following constants remained for the duration of the study period: food selection guidelines and daily calorie max intake, appropriate hydration to include a minimum of 5 total based on individual weight refills of the Puritii water bottle daily, with individual increased adjustments for weight-appropriate amounts of water, and a minimum amount of exercise of 20 minutes of walking, 5 times per week.
Subjects were observed and feedback was given, comparing results of individuals with and without the use of Slenderiix and Xceler8; as well as with Slenderiix, Xceler8, foundational Nutritional Supplementation; and a final group who employed all of the above items, plus including Rejuveniix. Subjects committed to weekly counseling and instruction with Dr. Before and after, a comprehensive blood work panel was drawn and evaluated.
This panel consisted of serum inflammatory indicators of the presence of fat storage metabolism, known markers that are precursors to diabetes, heart disease and chronic inflammatory conditions such as cancer. Weight, measurements, and fat store location were documented, reviewed, and compared. Subjects were stratified randomly into 4 groups. The Table below outlines the particular products taken by each Group in the initial 4 weeks before the crossover, and what products were taken in conjunction with the 1, calorie daily consumption.
Subjects were required to consume calories minimum from organic expeller pressed coconut oil in meal preparation, with the option of an additional 50 calories from raw avocado or raw nuts or organic cold pressed oils. Natural sweeteners, erythritol or Stevia liquid, were allowed. The following table identifies the classifications of foods available for subjects during the program.
Finally, subjects were required to participate in an exercise program. Subjects who were currently participating in an exercise routine at the onset of the study were allowed to continue with that program, at the review of Dr.
Subjects who were non-exercisers were required to walk for at least 20 minutes, a minimum of five days each week. Of the initial 23 subjects, 19 completed the program.
Results of following a regimen of calorie limited nutrient dense diet, appropriate supplementation, hydration, and detoxification with moderate exercise, coupled with use of specific products yielded statistically significant results compared to reducing calories alone. The table below provides a summary of the average rate of weight loss per day over time. After four weeks, subjects in the Control Group C were allowed to take Slenderiix.
At the crossover, all of the groups using Slenderiix A, B, D had lost an average of In each group, Individuals in the placebo group were eating the same meal plan, water and exercise routines as that of the Slenderiix using groups.
In addition, placebo group subjects were receiving the exact same nutritional supplementation as the subjects in group A, the only difference in these two groups was between the active Slenderiix for the Group A Subjects, and the inactive placebo product for the Control Group C Subjects.
Placebo subjects lost an average of only 6. Within this initial 4 week timeframe, placebo subjects were the only group that reported feeling hungry, fatigue and weakness upon exercise, and difficulty at being around food or in the presence of others at mealtimes. By the third week of the program, placebo users were beginning to express difficulty at continuing to participate with the trial for the remaining 9 weeks. Even though the amount of weight lost within all Slenderiix-using Groups A, B and D reflected less than 1 pound average variance among the three groups, there was a marked difference in the level of enthusiasm, perception of the ease of the program, increased sense of well-being, and continual increase in daytime energy and desire to become more active as time went by, within Group D.
This group was supported by not only Slenderiix and Xceler8, but all of the Foundational Supplements, as well as Rejuveniix. Because of the remarkable difference in positive mental attitude coupled with weight loss success, it was decided Groups A, B, and C would, at the crossover time, convert to the Group D regimen for the 8 week duration of the trial.
Even with a relatively small sample, the difference between groups, as well as individual improvement on pre and post testing of both subjects was statistically significant.
Two-tailed results suggest a statistical significance in all groups, except the placebo group, when compared to diet alone. It is generally maintained that weight loss that is too rapid and sustained over a long period of time is not optimal. Therefore, the rate of weight decline, reflective of stabilizing metabolism, is provided in the table below.
Of the two subjects who did not reach their 12 week projected weight goal, one subject was only 1. It should be noted that the latter subject had exceeded her personal goal of losing 20 pounds. Once personal expectations were fulfilled at completion of the 7th week of the trial, she experienced no additional weight loss in the remaining 5 weeks of the program. This observation supports psychological theory that personal expectations play a significant role in weight loss outcomes in regard to the possibility of subconscious behaviors sabotaging what ultimately may be possible.
In total, the rate of weight reduction per day experienced by all Slenderiix using groups consistently exceeded the rate of weight loss compared to calorie restricted diet alone.
Biomarkers which are key indicators of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiac disease and cancer risk factors were measured through serum testing both before and after the 12 week trial. Unfortunately, circumstances limited collection of lab values from every subject, which prevented reporting on every lab value examined.
The individuals were to get a selected list of disease markers drawn, which are known in preventative medicine as indicators of fat storage, obesity, diabetes and precursors to heart disease and some cancers.
Due to logistical complications such as this, almost half of subjects were not able to provide follow up lab values for certain tests. The table below provides the paired-t differences between subjects across all groups excluding placebo. Given the limited sample size related to factorial design, although statistically significant differences in blood markers were found in ALL groups except the placebo group, the interpretive power of such small samples sizes resulted in the exclusion of reporting certain values for this report.
These serum levels are as follows: elevated triglycerides, total cholesterol serum insulin; decreased HDL cholesterol and glucose tolerance. Over time, insulin resistance progressively becomes more severe and continues to affect function of more organs.
When serum glucose levels remain elevated, there is increased likelihood of protein glycosylation and overproduction of free-radical producing oxidative stress, which have proven association with initial central obesity, and eventual atherosclerosis, type II diabetes, heart disease and cancers. The Serum Measures Chart above reflects that all serum risk factors tested for cardio-metabolic disorders were significantly reduced. Within the first 4 weeks of the trial, several of the placebo subjects, though weight loss was reflected on the scale and visibly in the face and extremities, did not lose any inches from their waist measurement.
One placebo subject, whose total loss goal at the onset of the trial was only 12 lbs, reported initial concern over the loss of significant inches in the chest and extremities, without any loss of weight in the midsection measures. After the crossover to the active Slenderiix, subject continued to lose the last few pounds to reach her goal, but also noticed a remarkable redistribution of normal body fat to the more desirable female areas, as her weight stabilized to a new set point during the remaining few weeks on the active product.
All Slenderiix-using groups reflected significant inches lost in the waist measurement, as compared to the chest and hips throughout every stage of the trial. This confirms the ability of the Slenderiiz program to target release of fat stores in the area of dangerous visceral adipose fat. Although the full extent of the mechanisms that allow this to be possible are yet unknown, serum tests reflect a regain in glycemic control, thus reversing the progression of insulin resistance—first heralded by the visible increase in visceral adipose tissue at the waist measurement—and the pathological risks that would have followed in time.
Typically, belly fat stores are protected by cortisol and other stress hormones in a season of calorie deficit, and studies have shown that these fat stores are typically only released after 90 days on an ultra-low calorie diet.
The results of the Slenderiiz Weight Loss Program would suggest there is compensory interaction with these stress-related hormones. Exact mechanism of the action observed is yet undetermined, but would warrant further study in this area. Typically, as insulin secretion increases, blood triglycerides and glucose levels continue to rise, while HDL levels slowly decrease and VAT begins to accumulate.
Since insulin is released in response to too much glucose in the blood, and HbA1c represents the amount of hemoglobin molecules that have had glucose molecules attached to them in the blood stream, these two serum markers typically rise and fall together.
Serum levels of insulin within study subjects decreased an average of Even though all cholesterol levels were monitored and improved upon, the cholesterol values that are specific to indicate systemic inflammation are now accepted to be most pertinent to reversing the interrelated risks of heart disease and obesity.
The pathology of arterial plaque formation in heart disease has been proven to be caused by several factors effecting inflammatory response to the small vascular injuries that occur from a cascade of reactive events. If inflammation is eliminated, arteries are clear, regardless of total cholesterol levels. Across all cholesterol markers, subjects responded with significant improvements in all areas.
Due to excessive free radical production, when cholesterol is oxidized into VLDL, it indicates an insufficient amount of antioxidants available within the body. VLDL can be significantly reduced by supplementing adequate vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, by modulating increases, beyond standard dosing, appropriate to the level of stress of the individual.
This inflammatory marker, VLDL was significantly reduced. Findings proved that the lower the serum vitamin D, the more prevalent these inflammatory makers for insulin resistance progressing to metabolic syndrome. Within this trial period, subjects serum vitamin D increased an overage of Due to the seasonality of the trial beginning fall and ending mid-winter, these results are impressive, considering vitamin D levels typically plummet in winter months and fat stores simultaneously increase.
Higher levels of Highly Sensitive C-Reactive protein are linked to higher occurrences of sudden cardiac death, strokes, peripheral artery disease and myocardial infarction. HS-CRP is an inflammatory particle produced by the liver in response to stressors.
The ratio of TG to HDL is a reliable indicator of the extent of insulin resistance on cholesterol metabolism. Subjects taking Slenderiiz also reported increased energy and sense of well-being compared to individuals on diet alone.
Subjects taking a placebo reported significant hunger, low energy and intolerance to exercise, in between meal headaches, and difficulty around others eating food, more than all other groups. Subjects who used all ARIIX foundational nutrients, Slenderiiz and Rejuveniix reported the greatest amount of energy and focus, and had the highest rate of weight loss in all groups.
Unlike any other group, no single subject taking Slenderiiz and Rejuveniix combined, reported mild to moderate headaches, fatigue and symptoms of detoxification or withdrawal from processed foods with in the first week. Further study on these self-reported benefits of Rejuveniix is warranted. Statistically significant improvement occurred for all subjects taking ARIIX Products, in addition to diet and exercise only, across all measures.
These results suggest metabolic recovery and turning toward systemic homeostasis, thereby decreasing the risk factors for the secondary diseases of obesity, heart disease and cancer. All subjects on ARIIX products with initially established inflammatory markers for heart disease, excessive systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, showed significant improvements indicating improved health and metabolism.
This finding suggests that the faster rate of weight loss, with less physical discomfort, the higher rate of compliance to maintain a weight loss program. Finally, the physical, psychological and emotional changes in the subjects were observed. Subjects losing weight often comment on increased energy, confidence and enthusiasm to continue their new habits as a continued lifestyle.
Through this interaction my patients not only were learning these new concepts about healthy living but were now more effectively applying them to their own lives. The results were simply amazing! Individuals who are trying to make changes in their lifestyles want to know exactly what they need to do to improve their health. The more they would learn in the lay media and books, the more confused they would become.
The Healthy for Life Program is cutting-edge and based entirely on medical research. This is why so many people have chosen to become involved with the Healthy for Life Program I have developed. Not only do they trust the information they are receiving but when they personally make these lifestyle changes they are having such tremendous results.
This is literally my personal medical office online. The internet offers us a unique tool which will be even more effective in evaluating, documenting, encouraging, and holding individuals accountable than my approach in my medical office. Individuals anywhere in the world who truly desire to develop these healthier lifestyles that have a side-effect of permanent weight loss can now have lifetime success.
This approach can be done in the privacy of their own home and where they receive professional guidance and support from my entire staff. I want to explain how I am able, through this site, to help anyone around the world achieve these health benefits. Even though these lifestyle changes are simple and easy, we are all creatures of habits—some good and some bad.
In order to effectively have victory over some of these poor lifestyles, you need to be motivated, encouraged, and held accountable.
Over time, these new lifestyles become natural and eventually just a way of life. Out with the old habits and in with the new healthier habits. You will actually enjoy the freedom of not being addicted to fast food and all the high-glycemic and processed carbohydrates.
You will enjoy the way you feel and your new energy level along with a sense of well-being.
