A Profoundly Simple System to Address an Extremely Complex and Intuitive Physical Body. 

 

Dear Friends & Colleagues,
      

Here we are in mid spring with summer rapidly approaching.  Many of us want to get in better shape, shed a few or many pounds so we can look and feel great for a fabulous summer.

     We know losing weight, starting a healthier diet and adding a new exercise routine all sound good.  Yet many of us have seen and experienced way too many "losing and gaining games of frustrations." Still many more ask ourselves often "do we really want to even bother???" if by the end of the year, we simply gain it all back.  It is often not a question of how much we lose that matters, it is how much we can keep it off.   How about feeling great while losing weight, lighter, firmer and vibrant from the inside out?

    Obesity is a silent yet deadly epidemic.  With the U.S. leading the way, it is becoming an international trend.  According to the WHO, 35.9% of U.S. teenage girls and 35% of U.S. boys are obese today.   Recently more epidemiology studies have clearly demonstrated a strong association of obesity to the majority of chronic diseases, with liver cancer adding to the long list. 

     "Calorie in and calorie out" is often the simple explanation for people who do not have a weight problem.  Many fast weight loss programs only produce temporary relief without long term health benefits and long lasting results.   People spend thousands of dollars to lose weight only to gain it all back.   What is really devastating is every time people gain the weight back, many get flabby again, and it is often worse than the previous time.

    I believe in order for the world trend of obesity to slow down and eventually change directions, we must have a fundamental understanding of why most people gain weight in the first place.  I believe consented and unconsented stress and toxins we face in our modern society today are the root causes of a seemingly unstoppable obesity epidemic.  Both chronic stress and environmental toxicities, especially chemical foods, lead to hormonal chaos and miscommunications- overproductions of stress hormones such as cortisol, reactive insulin, blocked effective thyroid hormone, and declining anabolic hormones such as HGH, DHEA-S, Estrogen/Progesterone, leptin/adiponectin imbalances.

  (1) Stress hormones misinform our body that the "big starvation "is approaching, and therefore we must eat and store as much fat and as fast as possible.

  (2) When the body stock piles fat-soluble toxins in our fat, extra "storage rooms" must be made to put away toxins.

 (3) A person who has not been chronically overweight and gains some weight is very different from a person who has been over-weight for a long time.  Chronically metabolically challenged people not only have larger fat cells in the form of storage fat versus energy fat and structural fat, they also have a greater number of fat cells than people without such challenges. When these people lose the fat, the cells simply shrink so it is much easier for them to regain the weight than it is for other people, therefore storing the toxins back in the process.  Weight loss makes us lose our storage capacity for toxins, so now these toxic chemicals dump back into the new smaller container of toxins and the toxic concentration increases. This new toxic load challenges the T4 to T3 conversion in the liver, without Active thyroid in action, the basic metabolic rate goes down, naturally lowering one's metabolism. Thus at the same time toxic chemicals block hormonal receptors, further decreasing metabolism, leading to hormonal chaos.

This is where people's cravings/weaknesses/choices for fatty and sugary food return and the cycle of failure starts all over again.

     I'm so excited to announce an incredible healthy weight loss program created by Orenda, called "Cleanse, Burn & Shape." It's a 100 day program with an intense 10 day cleanse at the beginning of the cycle. This program utilizes the most cutting edge nutrients called chlorogenic acid in their Burn product. It's the extract from green non-roasted coffee beans. This supplement can be bought over the counter but it's very important that the pill contains over 50% chlorogenic acid and not caffeine, so it's not a stimulant. Orenda uses the exact percentage of cholorgenic acid as used in the most recent study concluding its success for weight loss. 

The Cleanse product contains many botanicals supporting the liver, kidney and gut. The Shape drink contains non gluten, non dairy vegan branch chain amino acid pea protein powder.

 

      In conjunction with Orenda's anti-aging breakthrough strategy of "awaken, cleanse and feed"utilizing liposomal delivered nutrients for the pituitary health, this newly launched three step programprovides people with the tools to detoxify the body and to increase insulin sensitivity.

There are many inconvenient truths about modern life's technological advances which we do reap some benefits from. Unfortunately many of the interventions are not genetically in tune with our bodies. Breast Cancer Fund is an environmental working group that researched the scientific data describing how some of these modern interventions are causing hormonal chaos.

Special Announcement

Voice America Wellness, Health Internet Radio and Dr. Shanhong Lu have mutually reached a very exciting joint effort to educate the biggest demographic interest on Internet radio- Health Care Crisis: Key issues such as stress and toxins are the two leading causes for human, as well as, animal suffering, early death, and disability that everyone is concerned about. This is a perfect platform to educate people about these modern life challenges and empower people to find their own way. Dr. Lu's main focus is digging down to the root so people can heal themselves instead of treating different symptoms which is not sustainable. Addressing the root cause of problems will always give us a simpler program so people can start to focus on living a great life.

 

Dr. Lu as the host wants to be the voice for you and empower you to be part of the wellness wave and brave aging movement. Please tell us what you want to hear about. She will be inviting the guest speakers and is currently gathering her team. Please let us know if you know of an incredible speaker who is aligned with Dr. Lu's philosophy. Those who want to have a better practice for their patients, their self and their future - making our "Escape Fire" and save our own health care!!!!

 

We hope you will join our first show.
