| HeartSmart IMT and the "Biggest Loser" |
 |
HeartSmart
IMT technology was used as part of the extensive cardiovascular pre-screening performed on all of the contestants
on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" television series.
The goal was to heighten awareness of the increased risk obesity and excess body fat creates for cardiovascualr disease.
These scans were performed by a prominent Beverly Hills cardiologist who sent them to HeartSmart for analysis, IMT measurement and reporting.
You don't have to go to Beverly Hills to take advantage of this life-saving technology. It is available right here in Connecticut at Alternity Healthcare.

Perspective.
Often it can be difficult to keep the right priorities in perspective. Sometimes it requires a unique vantage point to see things clearly. These are challenging times.
We are now on the cusp of the biggest healthcare reform in our lifetime, but it is uncertain what actual impact it will have on the health of individuals. Access to insurance does not equal access to care. And, care in our current system is "sick-care", not health care.
Our philosophy at Alternity Healthcare is that preventing chronic diseases is preferable to treating them after-the-fact, and that healthy aging by restoring and maintaining youthful energy and vitality is better than the gradual decline in function many accept as normal aging. This is what is missing from our healthcare system.
Leave that outdated view of health behind. Schedule a Comprehensive Health Assessment today to catapult your health to a higher level. Afterall, what is your health worth? |
| Testosterone is Essential for Optimal Health |
 Improves Metabolic Syndrome and Heart Disease Risks in Men
A realization is dawning in clinical medicine that testosterone has a prominent role in maintaining good health. That is not to say that more is always better. Just like other readily understood areas of human existence, there is an optimum range, below and above which can be detrimental. Typically people enjoy environmental temperatures between 40 degrees and 90 degrees. Temperatures above and below this range cause some discomfort, injury and eventual death. Even within this "normal" range there exists a smaller range representing the optimal temperature. Although it may not be universal, people are most active, happy and productive around a temperature of 75 degrees. Similar ranges can be described for physiologic functions. A resting heart rate between 60-80 beats per minute is healthy, as is getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night or blood glucose of 60-100 mg/dl.
Testosterone levels are no different. There is a strong and growing body of evidence supporting the notion that low testosterone concentrations in men predisposes them to a higher risk of chronic degenerative diseases, poor physical and mental health and premature death

| Women Need Testosterone Too! |
 "The Hormone of Desire"
Although estrogen remains the central female hormone most frequently used in both wellness and disease prevention, much less controversy surrounds the use of testosterone in women, though the evidence either supporting or discouraging its use is scarce. Nicknamed ''the hormone of desire'' and promoted in the popular media as the rescuer from the plight of decreasing libido in aging women, testosterone has gained rapid acceptance in the prevention and wellness arenas at a time when controversy and confusion surround estrogen and progesterone therapies.
