Monthly Spotlight on Naturopathic Medicine
 
 

Lose Weight Naturally in 10 Days

Weight Loss 2Lose Weight Naturally in 10 Days.

It's that time of year. Time for new beginnings and a fresh start to the new year. To assist you in this new beginning we are encouraging our patients to take the Clear Change Challenge. This challenge focuses on utilizing the Clear Change Metabolic Detoxification 10- Day program. Program participants can expect to lose up to 5-8 pounds in 10 days. Although individual results can vary, clinically, patients in fact lose 5-8 pounds in the 10 day challenge. It is easy and results include increased energy and reduction of pain with weight loss.

Arizona Natural Medicine starting January 14th will engage in a practice-wide metabolic detoxification program. Together we will take the challenge to lose weight and increase energy in just 10 days. We hope that you'll take the challenge with us.

 

How does it works?

 

How it works is simple. We will work together to consume a profoundly clean and healthy diet while simultaneously supporting metabolic detoxification with a targeted, powdered Medical Food beverage and nutraceutical that will help us achieve great results safely.

The program nutritionally supports liver function and improves your body's natural detoxification processes. It also supports your body's ability to excrete toxins once they have been neutralized, thus reducing the chancethat they will re-circulate and be stored. It promotes an alkaline urinary pH and provides antioxidant support involved with elimination of toxins. Finally, the program supports heavy metal removal by naturally increasing the production of metallotheionein, a protein critical in the heavy metal detoxification process.

 

Is this program hypoallergenic?

 

Yes the medical food is rice based for those with food allergies and sensitivities. Ultra Clear Renew, the medical beverage, contains NO dairy, soy, wheat, egg, nuts or gluten. The menu plan excludes common allergenic foods. So this may be perfect for people with possible food allergies or sensitivities.

 

Can I exercise?

 

Light to moderate exercise is okay with this challenge. However, your body is busy working internally so strenuous exercise should be avoided on this program.

 

Will I be hungry on this program?

 

Because you are eating healthy foods there are no calorie restrictions on this program but you end up eating less calories than usual. The shakes help to curb your hunger and generally increased hunger lasts a short time as your body adjusts. Eating small meals at regular intervals during the day help to manage hunger.

Fats That Help You Lose Weight
 
Raw Salmon on Plate Omega-3 Fatty Acids 
How They Melt Fat: omega-3s enable weight loss by switching on enzymes that trigger fat-burning in cells. They also help to boost mood, which may help reduce emotional eating. And omega 3s might improve leptin signaling in the brain, causing the brain to turn up fat burning and turn down appetite. Fatty fish like salmon (which are also high in vitamin D) are one of the richest sources of this fat. Other foods, such as some nuts and seeds, contain a type of fat that can be converted into omega-3s after ingestion.
 
Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFAs)
How They Melt Fat: One Danish study of 26 men and women found that a diet that included 20 percent of its calories from MUFAs, a type of fat found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocados, peanut butter, and chocolate, improved 24-hour calorie burning by 0.1 percent and fat burning by 0.04 percent after 6 months. Other research shows that MUFAs zero in on belly fat. Specific foods that are high in MUFAs--especially peanuts, tree nuts, and olive oil--have been shown to keep blood sugar steady and reduce appetite, too.

 
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
How It Burns Fat: CLAs are potent fat burners that are found, along with D and calcium, in dairy products. They are fatty acids that are created when bacteria ferments the food in the first part of the stomach of cows, sheep, and other ruminant animals. The CLA that is created through fermentation then makes its way into the meat and milk of these animals.

When we consume these foods, the CLA helps blood glucose enter body cells, so CLA can be burned for energy and not stored as fat. CLA also helps to promote fat burning, especially in muscles, where the bulk of our calorie burning takes place.

    Dr. Lane, thank you for your tireless energy in helping me re-new my life! You have fueled my life with hope like no other doctor has ever done! Years ago I came to you with severe aches and pain due to fibromyalgia, and after being seen by so many other doctors I had given up hope. I thank my friend each day for having introduced me to you! I still suffer from fibromyalgia but it is much more manageable than ever before! My energy levels are at the highest they have ever been since I was diagnosed with fibro, my spirit is happier and you have been the instrument to that success! Not only have you provided the tools to live healthier, but you have become my most trusted confidant! The team you have formed is a mere reflection of your dedication to your patients! Dr. Khalsa and Rosemary are just as wonderful! Thank you for your constant, unwavering and wonderful relationship you have with your patients!   BTB - Phoenix, AZ

    Acupuncture and cupping therapy with Dr. Lane have really improved my overall health and energy levels. I've been a patient for several years and have also seen Traditional Chinese Medical Doctors in China and the care at Arizona Natural Medicine has been the best by far.

    My acupuncture experience with Dr Khalsa at AZ Natural Medicine has been very positive. At a time when nothing else would provide relief, weekly acupuncture treatments have made a measurable difference in my low back pain and in my life. Increased energy is an added bonus. I am 3 weeks post partum and have every right to be exhausted. However, as my pain becomes more manageable I have a substantial increase in energy. Thank you Dr  Khalsa and AZ Natural Medicine for helping me to feel better!  I forward this health and energy on to my new baby. -CS. Chandler, AZ   
     
    I have been suffering from lack of sleep and hot flashes for years. Since I have been seeing Dr. Lane, she has prescribed bio-identical hormones and I have noticed an improved quality in my sleep and my hot flashes are few and far between. I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend her office to anyone.
