The Secret to Weight Loss and Optimizing Health

Americans are overweight and growing. At least 80% are overweight and 40% are obese. Sadly these numbers are going to increase after the pandemic of Covid19. Traditional dieting doesn’t work and hasn’t for decades because it lacks the strategy to lose weight. I want to reveal the secret to weight loss and how you can optimize your health.

Over 10 years ago I found out about a full body nutritional cleansing system that works at the cellular level. I incorporated it into my lifestyle then introduced it to my patients. One of the leading researchers in this area is Peter Greenlaw. He is a best selling author, researcher, speaker and health expert has written 4 books and done over 1500 speaking engagements around the world. He will discuss the problem of TDOS syndrome and the solution of the secret to weight loss.

Watch Peter discuss TDOS syndrome and what you need to know to not only lose weight once and for all but more importantly how to attain, maintain and sustain vibrant health! You will be inspired by the information that Peter shares! This information can literally save your life so make sure to watch:

It’s time people make their health a priority. That starts with losing weight. Being overweight is the leading contributor to most diseases including: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and so much more.

Nutritional Cleansing Is the Secret to Weight Loss — Nutritional Cleansing Helps Remove the Toxins For Optimal Weight Loss

Traditional diets because they don’t address the toxins. By addressing the toxicity that Peter mentions, we help people successfully lose weight.

If you would like the secret to weight loss, our programs have results that no others can match because we address what Peter discussed in the above video. Our system helps with TDOS, nutrition, cleansing toxins, amino acid absorption so you can lose the weight, increase lean muscle, reduce inflammation and optimize your health.

Diet and Natural Remedies for Headache and Migraine Sufferers is shared by Freehold NJ Chiropractor

If you suffer with headaches, migraines and other types of inflammation, you hopefully have been following our headache and migraine blog series.

You can go to our blog to read the previous posts: Hometown Family Wellness Center blog or you can start by reading: The Life of Headache and Migraine Sufferers Changed by Chiropractor in Freehold NJ – Part I.

Today we are going to discuss dietary recommendations and natural remedies that can help you with your headaches, migraines and inflammation.

Diets that help reduce inflammation

A diet that is high in antioxidants from fruits, vegetables and foods known for their anti-inflammatory properties help control inflammation. By incorporating these foods in your diet, you will most likely notice the frequency and intensity of your headaches decrease.

Fruits: apples, acerola berries, fresh pineapple, guavas, grapefruit and rhubarb, kiwi fruit, lemons, limes, oranges, kumquats, black currants, blueberries, raspberries, mulberries and strawberries, papaya, cherries, and tomatoes

Vegetables: spinach, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, cabbage, bok choy, onion, leeks, garlic, green onions, broccoli, cauliflower, broccoli sprouts, brussel sprouts, greens

Herbs & Spices: basil, oregano, mint, cloves, turmeric, cayenne peppers, chili peppers, parsley, rosemary

Fish and Meats: Cod, halibut, salmon, snapper, bass, whitefish, herring, trout, sardines, grass-fed beef, pork, naturally-raised (not on grain) chicken and turkey.

Whole Grains: brown rice, whole wheat, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, spelt

Fats: extra virgin olive oil, avocado, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts

Natural Remedies that Help Decrease

Headache and/or Inflammation

1. Ginger contains over 500 different compounds, many of them which are anti-inflammatory in nature. Try a 500 mg capsule when you feel a headache coming on, or about one third of a teaspoon. C ook with ginger regularly. One simple recipe is to braise beef or chicken strips with broccoli and one-half cup diced or sliced ginger. Use pineapple juice as a sweetener in this dish.

2. Omega-3 fats: The average American has eaten too many omega-6 fats in their diet over the last 20 years that has resulted in a widespread omega-3 fat deficiency. Omega-3 fats prevent inflammation in the body. The tie in to a headache is that inflammation can lead to a headache. Make sure you have omega-3 fats in your diet by adding two to four capsules of 500 mg EPA with DHA daily.

3. Antioxidant Vitamins: Did you know that increasing your vitamin C intake could reduce inflammation in the body by 45%? That’s what researchers reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in March of 2006. A level of 2000 mg is a good start to decreasing inflam-mation in the body that may be related to headache. You can always increase it later.

Make sure, also, that you get at least 400 IU vitamin E in your supplements daily. Vitamin E is responsible for reducing inflammation of the muscles, which may occur in the neck and cause headache.

4. Magnesium: This vital mineral has been found in deficiency levels in those who have migraines. It’s an essential mineral for contraction of the blood vessels. Adding 300-400 mg magnesium per day is probably safe, however, without a hair analysis test to see where all your mineral levels are, you’re taking shots in the dark.

5. Feverfew: This herb has been used traditionally for treating headaches. Use as directed on the label.

6. Germanium has been used to oxygenate the system and provides pain relief in many different situations. When using it, take it on an empty stomach, and never at the same time with any prescription medications. 200 to 300 mg may prove extremely helpful.

Now are YOU Ready to Eliminate YOUR Headaches?

Remember that you must decrease all the reasons for having a headache in the first place, not just use a supplement as a remedy.

Freehold NJ Chiropractor Reveals Solution to Obesity and Weight Problems

My name is Dr. Russell Brokstein, chiropractor and wellness consultant in Freehold, NJ at Hometown Family Wellness Center. Weight problems and Obesity have become an epidemic problem in the United States. Dieting has failed over and over and people need an answer as to why it’s so difficult to drop the pounds. No matter how much people change their diets and incorporate exercise, it seems to be a lost battle jumping from Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, LA Weight Loss and the numerous other diet programs.

Several years ago I was fortunate to meet a husband and wife doctors in Toms River, NJ who introduced me to a solution to the problem. Upon listening to their presentation, it made total sense: everything we eat, breath and drink has chemicals and toxins in them. We consume these toxins and the result is heavier people. Not only is this going to affect the person consuming these chemicals, but if a mother is pregnant, the chemicals pass right to the developing fetus.

Today I was reading a great article in NaturalNews.com: Numerous Chemicals Linked to Difficult Losing Weight. It not only talks about the problems with these chemicals causing more fat cells and increased size of the fat cells, but how the chemicals alter hormonal balance. Your body uses body fat to try and help protect the different organs, tissues and cells. The fat surrounds the toxins and the more toxins in your body, usually the more body fat is stored! This is the cause of being overweight and obese.

The chemicals aren’t only in the foods by the way they are processed, but the pollution in the air we breath, the water we drink and bathe in, the pesticides used in farming and runoff into the water, pharmaceuticals, plastics we store drinks and foods in, even wall paper, handbags, air fresheners, hygiene products, laundry detergents and so much more are filled with chemicals that we are exposed to.

Obesity isn’t only a health problem, but it’s a social problem as kids and adults are ridiculed at being overweight, social life is affected, and it’s hard to be as active as one would like. Many avoid being in social settings.

So, the solution is simple: release the chemicals and toxins from the body and balance out the hormones and you will start to see natural and healthy weight loss! This process is called a detoxification program. When you remove the chemicals from the body, you eliminate the affects they are having on your body and the body doesn’t need to store the body fat! Being you are truly getting to the cause of the weight gain, you don’t get the rebound weight gain one gets with failed dieting programs.

Colleagues of mine introduced me to the ultimate in full body and cleansing program. To find out more and start your weight loss and health transformation contact me.

We have been helping patients in Freehold, NJ and the surrounding towns of Marlboro, Manalapan, Howell, Colts Neck, Jackson, Morganville and other Monmouth and Ocean County New Jersey Communities for the past 10 years.

Weight Loss – Exploring a Modern Model

Our society has been one of going from one diet to another to try and beat the growing epidemic of obesity. Along with this weight problem are the countless of health problems like heart conditions, diabetes, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, kidney disease, fatty liver disease and so much more. Dieting has been a failed solution to the country’s problem. Rather than weight loss, we have seen increased weight gain. Counting calories and going to the gym is not the answer. Today we are going to discuss a modern model of weight loss!

Your body is inundated with toxins every single day. Everything you eat, breath and drink is loaded with chemicals. Detoxification is the body’s natural process of removing and altering metabolic waste so the body can function optimally without the effects of these toxic substances. It is necessary for overall health and wellness of the organs, tissues and all the way down to the cellular level.

When your body is detoxifying it is trying to eliminate toxins from the body. Centuries ago the body was not subjected to the amount of chemicals it is today. This makes it more difficult for the body to do its job. If your body is getting too many toxins, the organs that help detoxify get overburdened. If this happens, the body deposits the toxins into fat cells and collagen. Also, if the body doesn’t have the proper nutrients, organs like the liver which help cleanse the chemicals from the body will deposit the toxins into the fat cells (adipose tissue). This results in the enlargement of fat cells and water infiltrating the extracellular matrix. Lymph fluid helps protect the body from inflammation due to stored toxins. This is why people are becoming more overweight and obesity is an epidemic: the toxic overload leading to increased body fat!

Toxins are the leading cause of inflammation. They come from many sources. It can be from food or air pollution, water quality, pathogens, sensitivities, allergic reactions, heavy metals, food additives, cometics, household cleaners, medications, artificial sweeteners, the list goes on and on. Your immune system addresses the toxins with free radicals that cause damage to the cells. Further immune response leads to chronic inflammation.

This innate protective inflammatory response is a leading cause of disease. When the body struggles to get rid of toxins, inflammation builds up leading to autoimmune and chronic degenerative diseases. Add this to the nutritional deficiencies and intestinal microflaura imbalances from the consumption of refined sugars, genetically modified foods (GMO’s), processed food, caffeine consumption, and other low quality foods and you get a recipe for a body that is a toxic dump. Don’t forget the increased number and toxic load in the vaccines you are subjected to and over-prescribed antibiotics and other drugs.

A deficiency in antioxidants causes an ongoing of free-radical destruction. This causes low energy and damage to your genes leading to even more prevalence of disease.

This leads us to know that detoxification is actually a nutritional problem. Providing the body with optimal nutrition allows the body to detoxify. Our food supply is so nutritional depleted it cannot provide what the body needs to be healthy. We can solve the health care crisis in this country with better food choices and healthy supplements. The cost of healthcare is out of control and drugs do not provide any solution to disease. Living in the 21st century floods the body with toxins and deprives it of nutrition.

The best way to for weight loss is to detoxify the body by supporting its own natural systems with healthy nutrition:

1) The liver is the chief detoxifying organ. The liver needs phytonutrients from fruits, vegetables and herbs. The liver will do it’s natural cleansing processes when provided the best nutrients. At same time need to make sure the bowel is cleansed to keep the liver detoxification balanced.

2) Help the body remove toxins from the fat cells and extracellular matrix.

3) Support the intracellular processes of methylation, ATP production, reduction of free-radicals, telomere repair and cellular membranes with nutrition. There are some amazing supplements to aid healing at the cellular level.

Everybody needs the help of a quality detoxification program that helps with all these steps and nourish the body

with optimal nutrition. The body is meant to adapt, survive and maintain the cells and organs to achieve health. By working from the inside at the cellular level making sure it’s functioning and healthy, the body can focus more on detoxifying the brain, heart, lungs, intestines and other organs.

Even if you are a vegetarian or devote yourself to organic food you need to detoxify. Dr. Jack Tips is a licensed clinical nutritionist in New York and he did studies on natural health aficionados. He tested a marker for cell membrane inflammation and found most score in the “rapid aging, cell membrane inflammation” range. The body is being damaged from many sources of chemicals and radiation as mentioned earlier in this blog.

Detoxification is a 21st century solution to weight loss, health and wellness! It must be done right to be effective. Our global epidemic of poor health, disease, cancer, symptoms, count on exploring this modern model. The body needs help as it was never meant to take on the amount of outside factors we subject it to. Nutritional support enhances the body’s natural detoxifying processes to help the body heal itself and be healthy naturally.

We have a complete full body and cleanse program that works all the way down to the cellular level. Our program addresses the real cause of body fat and toxicity. People have been using this system for over 12 years with consistent results not only for weight loss but improved overall health and wellness. Dieting has failed for decades because it does not address the build up of toxins and the increased body fat to protect the tissues from those toxins. Removing toxins all the way down at the cellular level which results in the decrease in body fat and weight.

Freehold chiropractor, Dr. Russell Brokstein, has been helping patients lose weight with the nutritional cleansing. Dr. Russell’s approach to health is finding the cause and addressing it. This includes the approach to weight loss: detoxification and optimal nutrition. If you are ready to make your health a priority and lose the weight, you can find out more and contact: click here.
