TriVita Article: The Dance of Hormones in Men and Women

by Dr Brazos Minshew, Trivita’s Chief Science Officer
Hormones are natural messengers produced by our bodies. They are responsible for successful development, normal behavior, maintenance of normal body processes and reproduction.

As messengers, the hormones affect all parts of your body. They monitor and manage the repair and maintenance of your muscles, bones, blood vessels, skin and every other system. They also aid in recovery from injuries and help you resist diseases.

• Estrogen
  The hormone with which you are probably most familiar is estrogen. Both men and women need estrogen to be healthy. For example, your heart needs estrogen in order for the heart valves to close properly. You may be surprised to learn that estrogen is not a single hormone; rather, it is a group of hormones. Each type of estrogen has a different function in your body.

• Progesterone
  Unlike estrogen, progesterone is a single hormone. It affects fertility and is used to make the anti-stress hormone DHEA in both women and men.

• Testosterone
  You may have associated testosterone with men, but women actually produce testosterone as well (just as men also produce estrogen). Some benefits of testosterone in men and women include maintaining muscle mass, reducing body fat, growing healthier hair and, of course, a healthier libido.

• Cortisol
  Another important steroid hormone at work before, during and after stressful events is cortisol. Made in the adrenal glands, cortisol regulates blood sugar levels, determines immune system response and provides responses to stresses of all sorts. Unfortunately, many people have very stressful lives; this leads to an overproduction of cortisol, which can result in poor immune function, obesity and type 2 diabetes.

• DHEA
  DHEA is also made in the adrenal glands, and along with testosterone, DHEA is responsible for sexual development in men. In women, however, DHEA serves as a precursor to the estrogen, estriol. DHEA imbalance can result in male pattern baldness and increased facial and body hair in women.

• Fat cells
  While they are not endocrine glands, fat cells increase estrogen levels in men and women. Fat cells store fat-soluble toxins. This deadly cargo is released during stress. Releasing stored toxins and producing inflammatory estrogen is why excess fat is associated with certain types of cancer.

Hormone Basics
These hormones are not the whole “hormone picture.” In fact, they represent broad categories of hormones that may encompass hundreds of other hormones. Also, they interact in such a way that a relative excess in one hormone may make another hormone seem deficient even though blood tests say it is “normal.”

Estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and testosterone are examples of trophic hormones. They are made of the same substance: cholesterol. If your body is unable to convert cholesterol into these hormones you may see your blood levels of cholesterol rise. You can bring your cholesterol down and your low hormones up by helping convert cholesterol to trophic hormones.

Balancing hormones is simple, though it is not always easy: We make them, use them and get rid of (detoxify) them. This is the cycle of balanced hormones. The vast majority of people using this procedure achieve balanced hormones in just a few months.

1. Making hormones
   We make good hormones from good fats. Most doctors recommend over 1,200 milligrams of Omega-3 fats for building healthy hormones. TriVita OmegaPrime^® contains Omega-3 fats. OmegaPrime also contains Evening Primrose oil to help convert cholesterol to any of these hormones that may be low. You may find that you need higher levels of OmegaPrime every day to properly convert cholesterol into trophic hormones.

2. Using hormones
   TriVita’s Balanced Woman^® (for women) and Prostate Health Formula (for men) along with Vitamin E help direct the hormones where they need to go. Once there, Balanced Woman, Prostate Health Formula and Vitamin E help the hormones complete their work: building up the body and mind.

3. Detoxifying hormones
   Finally, the hormones must be excreted from your body to prevent them from building up to toxic levels. Balanced Woman and Prostate Health Formula nourish this detoxification process.

Conclusion
One final note: imbalanced hormones can cause uncomfortable symptoms, which creates stress. Stress all by itself creates hormone imbalances. Add the insult of a toxic world to the daily traumas, nutrient deficiencies and stresses from inside and outside our bodies and we have a recipe for disaster. The 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness replenish your reserves through nutrients and nurturing. Embrace the 10 Essentials and practice them daily for a healthy mind, body and spirit.

Take Control of Your Health For signs of hormone imbalance: Increase your rest Increase your exercise (aerobic and resistance) Increase consumption of vegetables and legumes Make hormones from healthy fats Leanology® shakes for Omega-3 OmegaPrime to convert fats to hormones Use and detoxify hormones with targeted nutrition Balanced Woman Prostate Health Formula Vitamin E

Weight Loss with TriVita’s Leanology

What makes Leanology capsules so great?
by Dr Brazos Minshew, TriVita Chief Science Officer

Leanology weight loss capsules provide nutrients, instead of stimulants, to assist you in your weight loss goals. Moreover, the effectiveness of our weight loss capsules has been confirmed through a clinical study. During the four months of this study, participants lost weight every week and actually gained lean tissue at the same time.

The formula features a four-stage blend of nutrients that target specific areas of concern that impact weight loss.

Stage 1: Energy & metabolism
Key ingredients: Green Tea, L-Theanine, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Manganese

Thermogenic nutrients increase lean body mass in older age groups – even without exercise. This is a critical component to the formula because as one ages, lean muscle mass becomes more difficult to attain – and lean muscle mass is essential for a healthy metabolism.

For example, L-Theanine helps increase our body’s natural energy-producing capabilities. Mitochondria, sometimes described as “cellular power plants,” are found within our cells. They help convert food molecules into energy. L-Theanine is an antioxidant that specifically recharges the mitochondria to help it reproduce energy.

Stage 2: Cortisol & anti-stress
Key ingredients: GABA, Korean Ginseng, Poria Cocos, Vitamin D, Dimethylglycine, Copper gluconate

Stress is a problem at any age, though stress-related obesity seems to be more prevalent after age 40. Many trophic or “muscle-building” hormones begin to decline as we age. Stress accelerates this process. Fat-storage hormones are produced in response to stress.

Modern biochemistry has discovered that a protein receptor in your brain called a “GABA receptor” is responsible for stress sensitivity. By increasing GABA, a simple amino acid, we reduce the impact of stress on our nervous system and hormone balance.

Stage 3: Appetite control
Key ingredients: Glucommanan, Biotin, Magnesium, Zingiber rhizome (Ginger)

Leanology contains specific nutrients that signal your brain to recognize signs of “fullness” earlier in the meal. It also restores the balance of signaling chemicals from your stomach to your brain. These chemicals can be weakened after a long, exhausting, stressful day. Therefore, Leanology minimizes evening cravings.

Weight gain is a direct response to a calorie surplus. If you do not burn the calories you consume, they will be left behind as fat – especially if the calories are from unhealthy sources. Leanology works to minimize your cravings and therefore assist you in lowering your total caloric intake.

Stage 4: Blood sugar control
Key ingredients: Garcinia camobogia, Gymnema sylvestre, Bitter melon, Cinnamon bark, Alpha Lipoic acid, Chromium polynicotinate, Vanadyl sulphate, Zinc gluconate

Blood sugar control is the most critical component of any weight loss program. Elevated blood sugar causes the body to store sugar as fat rather than using it as energy. Leanology contains nutrients that help to utilize the carbohydrates and sugar we consume as energy – to keep them from being stored as fat. It also helps reduce the cravings for sweets and carbohydrates.

We are more likely to develop insulin resistance as we age. The more processed and refined food we eat, the more insulin we require to metabolize it. The more insulin in our blood, the less responsive our cells become. As we age, this continual exposure wears out our tolerance for refined carbohydrates and sugar, and reduces our sensitivity to insulin. Therefore we are less likely to convert sugar and carbohydrates into energy, and more likely to convert them into fat.

Take Control of Your Health Commit yourself to the process of weight loss Learn the important steps you will need: Calorie content of common foods Calories burned in common exercises The effect of stress, sleep and hydration on weight Use Leanology Capsules for effective weight loss Use Leanology Appetite Control Chews as needed Use Leanology Shakes to control calorie intake Continue your healthy aging supplements Most important: Record the reason WHY you want to lose weight. Hint: the more compelling the “why,” the more likely you are to be successful!

TriVita Optima Helps Improve Flexibility

Help nourish and hydrate your joints to enjoy an active lifestyle

Our bodies become less flexible with age and it takes longer to recover from inflammation. As part of the aging process, we lose many cells every day; the majority from areas of our bodies that sustain the greatest wear and tear. From our fingers and knees to our hips and lower back, we use our joints and muscles to do everything. These are the places our bodies suffer the most damage from everyday use.

TriVita OptimaFlex® helps improve the movement of your joints and muscles with a natural solution that otters some of the most effective vitamins and nutrients available.

OptimaFlex is designed to help:

• Reduce inflammation and pain
• Increase joint hydration
• Improve flexibility quickly
• Repair connective tissue

SUCCESS STORIES
“Since taking OptimaFlex, I do not have the stiffness and pain in the morning…” “While visiting my daughter in Arizona, she introduced me to OptimaFlex, which I purchased for my husband – to help him with joint pain. At the same time, I had been having constant, terrible knee pain. I had trouble going up and down stairs, or kneeling down. I started taking OptimaFlex and noticed my knee was no longer hurting. I quit taking the OptimaFlex and the pain was back within 3 days. Since taking OptimaFlex, I do not have the stiffness and pain in the morning that I normally have, from the cold of living in Ohio. I mix the OptimaFlex in my Leanology shakes with frozen fruit, NutraFruits and Vitamin C Crystals and it tastes great. I will not go without OptimaFlex any longer. Thank you, TriVita.”
-SANDY Z. BATH, OH

OptimaFlex’s top-quality blend contains:

• Boswellia – known for thousands of years as Frankincense, it helps reduce pain, inflammation and burning while increasing circulation
• Devil’s Claw – a plant extract which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relieving) properties
• Cat’s Claw – helps speed up healing while reducing pain and inflammation
• Circumin – an antioxidant that helps keep inflammation under control by inhibiting two common pain triggers – COX-2 and LOX enzymes – both which contribute to pain, arthritis and the breakdown of cartilage
• Bromelain – an enzyme that helps reduce the proteins that are released when a muscle or joint is overextended (studies have shown that bromelain can also help reduce bruising and pain, speed up recovery time and can even help as a therapeutic aid in treating inflammatory illnesses such as arthritis and sinusitis)
• Cetyl Myristoleate – an expensive, rare ingredient that has been shown in studies to protect the joints and help reduce the possibility of future damage
• Glucosamine and MSM – two ingredients that act together to help the joints rebuild cartilage

Note: These products contain nutrients derived from shellfish.

Preventive Measures That Can Improve Your Heart Health

by Dr. Brazos Minshew, TriVita Chief Science Officer

Around 700,000 people in North America die from heart attacks each year. The most common cause of heart attacks is a blood clot caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). Yet, as bad as CAD is, heart attacks from narrow arteries and blood clots are not the only conditions that cause heart disease. Many heart diseases exist and are preventable with just a little care.

Common conditions

High blood pressure
The most common cause of heart disease in North America is high blood pressure; it affects 73 million people in the U.S. alone. High blood pressure may be caused by:

• Disease in the blood vessels that cause them to narrow
• Imbalances in the kidneys, lungs and liver
• Cardiomyopathy – a disease of the heart muscle

How to help: Keys to reducing high blood pressure are found in the 10 Essentials. Some people can reduce their high blood pressure simply by practicing deep breathing. Other techniques include increasing fruits and vegetables, and increasing fiber and water while reducing sodium.

Coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside a blood vessel of the heart. CAD affects over 16 million people in the U.S. It leads to angina pectoris – pain caused by poor blood flow to the heart muscles – and is associated with heart attack.

How to help: Coronary artery disease responds well to a low-fat, high-fiber diet of mainly fruits and vegetables. Stress reduction and daily exercise are also effective therapies in combating CAD. Almost all heart specialists recommend Omega-3 oils such as those in OmegaPrime as effective tools in combating CAD.

Congestive heart failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) and related forms of heart failure may affect over five million people in North America. It is strongly related to diabetes and obesity. Among the most common triggers in CHF is obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea builds up blood pressure in an attempt to get oxygen to critical tissues such as the heart and brain.

How to help: Most people with CHF respond to treatment for sleep apnea, treatment with CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10), and the other suggestions already mentioned.

Common remedies

Body weight and blood sugar control
Achieving and maintaining optimum body weight and blood sugar control are two suggestions that always top the list of remedies for all forms of heart disease. The Leanology program can help you meet those objectives. Leanology is much more than a “diet plan” – it helps you make the necessary lifestyle adjustments through nutrition and activity to help you reach and maintain a healthier weight.

Nutrients

1. OmegaPrime can help reduce the “stickiness” of blood to protect against clots and may slow down the process of plaque formation. One or two grams are enough to help protect against heart disease, but much more is needed if the heart is already diseased.
2. CoQ-10 offers significant benefits to the heart. It should be taken at bedtime to reduce the impact of sleep apnea on the heart and brain.
3. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and resveratrol (found in Super Antioxidant Complex) are also best taken at night, then again in the morning.
4. Special proteins found in garlic and other antioxidants such as bilberry (found in VisionGuard) can help improve lipids such as cholesterol while opening the tiniest blood vessels in the legs, hands, eyes, ears and brain.

In the end, many of the problems with heart disease can be protected against or even solved with the tools we have readily at hand (always follow the advice of your healthcare provider for your personal condition). What about the impact of emotions on heart health? Can the 10 Essentials assist us here as well? Next week our Wellness Report will address the connection between mental/dental health and your heart.

Take Control of Your Health

• Exercise at least 30 minutes most days of the week
  • More is better!
  • Both aerobic and resistance training
• Eat the appropriate number of fruits and vegetables daily
  • 5 for children
  • 7 for women
  • 9 for men
• Focus on foods that are:
  • Low fat
  • High fiber
  • Low sodium
• Use the Healthy Aging program as a foundation
  • Increase OmegaPrime if recommended
  • Add garlic for cholesterol control
  • Add antioxidants such as resveratrol for heart health
  • Add CoQ-10 with CHF or if you take statin medications
  • Add blood-vessel specific antioxidants such as VisionGuard

Lose Weight, Lighten Up… To Help Your Heart!

dropping excess fat is an important first step to reducing your heart disease risk

As you probably know, a big risk for heart disease is excessive weight. Not only does it increase the strain on the heart but it also contributes to high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. A high-fat diet combined with little or no exercise is a major factor in rising cholesterol levels and heart disease.

In the United States, approximately one-third of the adult population weighs 20% or more over their ideal weight.

Can losing weight lower your cholesterol levels?

Being overweight has been shown to increase total cholesterol levels. It can also cause your cholesterol levels to get out of balance, raising levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol that clogs blood vessels and lowering levels of HDL (good) cholesterol by raising blood pressure and straining the heart.

Do you weigh more than you should?

Most of us have done the simple “mirror test” – we simply look in the mirror and see if we are overweight. If you can pinch an inch at your waist, chances are you need to lose weight. Also, if you weigh 10 to 15 pounds more than you did when you were 20, you may need to drop some weight with the help of the Leanology® Weight Loss System and lifestyle changes.

What is your ideal weight?

Your ideal weight is determined by lean body mass (everything but fat) plus the amount of fat you need for good health. This ranges from 10%-18% of total body weight for men and 18%-25% of total body weight for women. A health professional can estimate your own percentage by measuring your body fat with a skinfold caliper.

How body shape impacts heart health

Recent research suggests that heart health can be affected as much by body shape as by weight. For example, people whose waists are nearly as large as or larger than their hips have a higher rate of heart disease.

To determine your waist-to-hip ratio, measure your waist just above the navel. Measure your hips at their widest. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. A waist-to-hip ratio greater than 0.8 for women and 0.95 for men indicates higher heart disease risk.

The different kinds of body fat – and their importance

Some of us carry excess weight in the hips and thighs while others carry it in the abdominal area. Several studies have indicated that excess fat in the abdominal area is more likely to cause health problems such as high cholesterol levels.

Since the measurement around your waistline reflects your level of abdominal fat, a waist measurement can provide a good clue to whether you have too much upper body fat. You may have too much abdominal fat if your waist measurement exceeds: • 40 inches for men • 35 inches for women

Fat around the heart may increase heart attack risk

A recent study from Wake Forest University indicates that having excess fat around the heart may also be a health risk. Even a thin person can have fat around the heart. Pericardial fat, or stores of fat around the heart, is known to cause higher secretion of inflammatory substances, which may accelerate the development of heart disease.

Weight control tips

• Eat more high-fiber foods, including fruits and grains.
• Use non-fat or low-fat dairy products.
• Eat only lean meats, fish, skinless poultry and low-fat vegetable proteins such as tofu.
• Eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Keep serving sizes moderate and avoid second helpings.
• Get regular physical activity. Even a brisk walk is great exercise.
• Limit sugary desserts and soft drinks.
• Limit alcohol consumption.
• Celebrate your successes with non-food treats, such as a weekend getaway, a massage or a new look or hairstyle.

Since February is Heart Health Month, there’s never been a better time to get your weight and your health under control.

TriVita Leanology’s Proprietary Blend of Nutrients Burns Fat

Converta™: the key to fat loss
Leanology’s proprietary blend of nutrients burns fat – and only fat
By Brazos Minshew
TriVita’s Chief Science Officer

Aren’t TV ads for weight loss supplements amazing? One ad touts the benefits of a particular product and boasts that “over 50%” of the weight lost with a particular supplement is from fat. Another ups the ante by saying that “nearly 75%” of the weight lost with their supplement is from fat. Yet another ad in the battle of percentages claims that “over 80%” of the weight lost with their supplement comes from fat.

Maybe you have asked as I have: “Where does the rest of the weight loss come from?” The answer is that the rest of the weight loss comes from your heart, your brain, your bones, and the many vital organs and systems you rely on for life and health. Much of the weight loss also comes from the collagen that supports your skin. So, while you might lose pounds, you can age by years!

Converta to the rescue
Leanology® is TriVita’s Smart Weight Loss System®. Fully 100% of the weight you lose will come from fat with Leanology. This is not just a claim – it’s a fact! An Arizona State University study on Leanology capsules proves that absolutely all of the weight lost is fat. What’s more, your heart, brain, bones and collagen are protected because of the unique way Leanology capsules burn fat.

TriVita Leanology capsules contain a proprietary blend of nutrients called Converta which work to burn fat – and only fat – in a four-step system:

1. Converta liberates fat from the fat cell
2. Then it releases it in the bloodstream
3. Converta makes your cells receptive to this fat
4. It then escorts the fat into the mitochondria (the energy producing part of the cell) where fat is burned as fuel.

Stored fat is stored energy
When we eat more calories than we can burn, food is converted to fat. This also occurs if we are under extreme stress and experience the “fight or flight” response. Fat is stored in a fat cell while we sleep. Think of this stored fat as stored energy. Fat contains many hours of energy in every pound.

Fat is easy to get into the fat cell and very difficult to get out. The fat cell itself seems to be programmed for survival: It’s easy to make more fat cells, tough to shed even one.

Releasing stored fat
Converta uses enzymes extracted from plants – rare as well as common plants – to help process fat into energy.

Nutrients such as L-theanine move fat from the fat cell into the bloodstream.

An enzyme from cinnamon called cinnaminic acid cuts the strings that bind fats together in a triglyceride.

Messengers from an herb called gymnema herb open the “energy ports” on your muscle and organ cells.

Nutrients including molybdenum escort the fat into the mitochondria.

The mitochondria burn the fat as fuel and completes the conversion process. Now, metabolism is working in your favor. Fat, which is physically difficult to lose, can now be lost with ease.

The total solution to weight loss
TriVita Leanology works in four ways:

1. Controls your appetite (you can’t lose weight if you’re always hungry)
2. Reduces the impact of stress, which can lead to weight gain
3. Balances your blood sugar, which can reduce carb cravings
4. Converta fuels your metabolism by converting stored fat into energy.

The next time you hear a weight loss ad that promises to shed fat, remember where the other weight loss occurs. Then, think of TriVita Leanology, and proudly share the news about the Smart Weight Loss System. With Leanology and Converta, 100% of the weight lost comes from pure, ugly fat!

TriVita Article: Don’t Be Slowed Down by Weight Loss Speed Bumps

by Brazos Minshew, TriVita Chief Science Officer

This is the perfect time of year for an encouraging article on keeping your weight loss goals. Why? Because nearly half of all people in North America make New Year’s resolutions – and the most common resolution is to lose weight.

Within a few weeks the number of people sticking to their resolve declines dramatically. Given the importance of improving our behavior, an encouraging word from an ally may be just the thing we all need to keep our resolve!

Mechanics of weight loss
Let’s review the best advice for weight loss that we have gathered from expert sources over the last several years.

How

• Reduce your caloric intake to match your basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR represents the number of calories your body needs at rest; in other words, your body burns these calories through basic functions. So, BMR represents the ideal number of calories you should eat in a day.

• Increase your activity to burn one to two pounds of fat per week.

When

• Never eat within two hours of bedtime.
• Morning exercise is a bit better than evening exercise.
• Never consume more than 400 calories in an hour.

What

• Eat according to an organized plan. For example, the South Beach, Ornish and Mediterranean diets all provide customized dieting tools.
• Do both aerobic and resistance exercises most days of the week.

Why

• Your sense of purpose will help drive your success.

Speed bumps
Somewhere along the way you are going to experience discouragement, disappointment or despondency. It may be when:

• You hit a weight loss plateau.
• You see others doing what you used to do and the old habits pull at your heart.
• Your inner voices – I call them my “council of critics” – start to tell you lies about failure and success.

What do you do when you hit a speed bump?

The answer to this question does not lie in the “how, when, what” of weight loss. The answer lies in the “why.” Your personal “why” gives you energy. It inspires you, motivates you, and drives you to complete your goal.

Remember to let your desire fuel your action; let your actions harmonize with your sense of purpose. Simply be resolved to live a life of purpose and you will have the energy to get beyond the speed bumps.

Common setbacks
Unsupportive family: Losing weight with an uncooperative family is very difficult. In fact, diet failure is far more common among people with kids at home than among empty-nesters. A great solution is to turn those sources of distraction into cheerleaders. Recruit your family into your support group. Ask them for help and you may be surprised how helpful a supportive family can be.

Parties and gatherings: Parties and family gatherings are another trigger for setbacks. Food and a festive environment are catalysts for overeating and skipping exercise. Careful planning in advance can really help with food selection and an exercise schedule. And if you do overindulge, remember the “calories in, calories out” rule and increase your exercise for a week or two to burn off the extra calories.

Emotional speed bumps: Depression, discouragement and despondency are also common triggers for diet failure. Remembering TriVita’s 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness can be a good antidote. For instance, Essential #6 teaches us that we need to give and receive love for excellent health. Love moves us to commit ourselves to a life of purpose. Purpose is the reason for action. Therefore, love can help us avoid fear, shame and doubt.

Conclusion
When we commit ourselves to such noble pursuits, do they not deserve our very best attention? We need to define our purpose as the foundation for success. Purpose is an important motivation to help us reshape our thinking. Purpose is the antidote to self-sabotage.

Ponder each of TriVita’s 10 life-changing essentials for healthy living. You will soon see that each of these gems reflect the light you need to see beliefs that no longer serve your best interests. You can confront self-sabotage and slay the dragons that keep you from reaching your goals. Also, learning and living the 10 Essentials provides you with powerful tools to reshape your attitudes into the very ones that can help you to reach your goals, live the life you want and fulfill your purpose.
