Feel and Look Your Best...
Try a Fresh Start 30 Day Solution
The Goal
To Look Good... Feel Great... and Enjoy Life to the Fullest
Your health and quality of life depend on a healthy lifestyle! It's great to
wake-up in the morning with... a pain free back, neck, hips and knees...
strong bones... normal blood sugar and cholesterol levels and a healthy
body weight. Image how a stronger body with increased energy and
stamina will improve your enjoyment of tennis, golf, or just going for a walk
or hike. You too can do this with Fresh Start!
The Problem
Today's Fitness, Wellness and Weight Loss Programs
Promise More Than They Deliver
A piecemeal program does not offer the total approach necessary for
success. Spending little or no time reducing stress... currently your #1
health hazard only leads to unhealthy "yo-yo" weight loss, unsafe gym
workouts that are too strenuous and don't focus on rehabing painful joints.
Without a personal plan and a support team to help implement it, you are left
to "go it alone" one unsuccessful attempt after another.
The Answer
Our Unique Lifestyle Programs Are the Key to Feeling and
Looking Your Best
Compare our Fresh Start solutions with your current program. You'll see we
make it easy to reduce stress, have more energy, permanently lose weight,
soothe painful joints and strengthen bones without special diets, extreme
Boot Camp or 7 day a week gym workouts.
Our guarantee... Try any of our Fresh Start solutions for 30 days.
If you don't have more energy, end your struggle and frustration with
excess weight, strengthen bones and muscles, soothe painful joints and
change how you look and feel; we'll refund your money.

A Healthy Weight!...
and Better
Health Too!
"Good Food Helps Fuel a Healthy Body"
Woody McMahon
Losing Weight Doesn't Have to Be Hard Work
Overeating is a learned habit and leads to unhealthy weight gain. It's easy to
overeat because food is addictive. Just like drugs, alcohol, smoking and some
medications, food affects your brain. Unbelievable as it may sound, certain foods
can even stimulate your brain just like cocaine.
Stress is The Real Culprit
Getting your weight under control requires removing the underlying cause of
overeating... STRESS. Healthy Weight! helps get your stress under control
making it easier to lose weight, feel better and enjoy life more.
You Can Change Your Overeating Habit
Most overeating is emotionally based. You may overeat to celebrate or reduce
sadness, anger, loneliness and the need for comfort. You can't just stop eating
to kick the food habit like you can with alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Trying to
trick yourself into eating less with smaller plates or chewing your food one hundred
times won't work either.
Find the Cause, Stop the Pain
You have to find the cause of overeating and fix it. We can help you break your
STRESS food cycle and stop overeating. We show you how to start eating for
healthy, not unhealthy reasons. That is your key to successful, long-term
weight loss.
Healthy Weight! provides the following benefits:
- Healthy Weight Loss
- Reduced Stress and Increased Energy
- Pain free hips, back, knees and feet
- Better Balance, Strength and Stamina
- Healthier Meal Planning and Cooking Techniques
- Improved Self Confidence and Body Image
- More Flexible and Relaxed Body

Understanding Your Hunger Drive
The Hunger Drive dictates how much food you eat every day. Abnormal urges to eat develop when your Hunger Drive becomes over stimulated. What over stimulates your Hunger Drive? The most common cause of overstimulation is stress. Stress lowers the serotonin and elevates the cortisol levels in your brain. As these hormones change, so does your abnormal urge to eat. Food moves from a healthy to an unhealthy position causing overeating. Once your Hunger Drive is retrained, overeating is eliminated and your body naturally returns to a healthy weight. Once the Hunger Drive is retrained, your overeating habit and extreme hunger for food is eliminated.
Three Steps to a Healthier Weight
The three most important steps to getting your weight under control are Getting Active, Eating Healthier and Reducing Stress. Healthy Weight! provides a simple and easy to follow plan with a knowledgeable support team to educate, motivate and keep you accountable. You'll learn how to safely and permanently lose weight while improving your overall health. With Fresh Start, you'll learn how to retrain your Hunger Drive and stop overeating. You'll reverse unhealthy lifestyle habits that exhaust your energy, stress your mind and leave you vulnerable to overeating and unhealthy weight gain. For people who need extra help, Fresh Start also offers a medical option. Either way, you'll reach your healthy weight in a supportive environment. You'll lose the weight and improve chronic health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic pain, high cholesterol, heart disease and depression.

Be Bone Strong!...
Stronger Bones, Improved Balance,
Better Posture...
"A Healthy Body Creates Healthy Bones"
Woody McMahon
A Better Bone Strengthening Program
Osteoporosis, like many other health conditions, needs a well planned program
that balances your lifestyle and the body. After this diagnosis, most people
get side tracked trying to increase their bone density with special diets,
supplements and medications. We focus on the only two goals that are
important; increasing your bone strength and reducing your fracture risk.
The easiest and fastest way to accomplish these two goals is to adopt a healthy
lifestyle. Your program must be individualized and include the "Big 6 for Healthy
Bones" listed below.
Safe, Effective and Easy to Follow Weight, Balance and Posture Training
Healthy bones need stimulation from the pulling of the muscles and the pressure
effect of weight training activities. We teach you a customized BEST Study
weight training program for maximum bone growth and improved balance. To
reduce the risk of fracture, we incorporate The Meeks Method of postural
training. Postural training is crucial in preventing vertebral fractures.
Our program is integrated, effective and safe and backed by scientific research.
A Simple But Effective Eating Approach
Eating wants to be healthful yet simple and fun. We offer an uncomplicated
approach to better eating habits that does not involve special diets or rigorous
food combinations. Once you have established healthier eating patterns, we
encourage a bone strengthening supplement program based on the best available
clinical evidence. We emphasize a simple visual approach taking into consideration
color, texture and portion size
A Stress Reduction System That Keeps Calcium In Your Bones
An uncontrolled, stressful lifestyle is the biggest cause of calcium loss. We help
reduce stress by empowering you to take charge of your body and stop
letting stressful events pull calcium from your bones. Stress is always present;
learning to react to it differently is the key to stopping bone loss. Stress also
contributes to increased acidity and inflammation while suppressing the immune
system and slowing the healing process. Our program reduces the harmful side
effects of stress on your bones and on your health.
Coaching for Education and Support
Fear, worry and doubt all create stress that can disturb healthy hormone
levels and keep your bones from healing. Our monthly coaching and support
group meetings help you maintain a healthy mental attitude. Support keeps
you feeling empowered reducing the fear and worry that can accompany this
condition. We make sure you never have to doubt that you are "doing the right
thing" because you are supported and your questions are always answered.
Turning on Your Body's Natural Healing Machine
Wouldn't it be great if you could turn on the most powerful healing system in
the body? You can. The latest scientific research has shown some amazing
evidence that we can actually change the genes and heal our bodies through
our Epigenome. Our program is the first to offer this cutting edge technology by
offering Strategic Epigenome Training (SET). SET helps stimulate your bone's
natural repair systems making them strong and fracture free.
Be Bone Strong! provides the following benefits:
-
Improved Muscle and Bone Strength
-
Better Balance to Reduce Falls
-
Safe and Effective Weight Training Instruction
-
Healthier Eating and Cooking Habits
-
Stress Reduction Techniques
-

More About Be Bone Strong!...
DEXA Numbers are Not The Whole Story
Stronger bones are what you want; risk of fracture is what you want to know.
The DEXA scan is designed to determine bone density. When combined with other
risk factors, bone density can provide indications of relative risk but cannot predict
who will experience a fracture. The DEXA scan numbers can be altered by certain
physical conditions making the results less reliable. More importantly than bone
density is bone quality. Bone quality comes from practicing a combination of healthy
lifestyle factors such as functional strength training, healthier eating and lower stress.
The Silent Calcium Thief... A High Stress Lifestyle
High stress living produces excess cortisol, a stress hormone that pulls calcium from
your bones. High cortisol levels also depress your immune system, imbalance your
natural hormone profile and suppress your body's ability to absorb calcium and
produce strong bones. Be Bone Strong! works to improve your health by including
relaxation techniques, visualization and meditation to effectively reduce your stress
levels. Stop the negative effects of stress and keep your bones and body strong.
The "Big 6 for Healthy Bones"
Your individual osteoporosis program will depend on previous fracture history, DEXA
numbers, other risk factors and lifestyle history. Our goal is to help you strengthen
your bones with minimal or no medications. There are no "magic bullets" when it
comes to bone strength. Remember, no one supplement, activity or lifestyle change
will fix your osteoporosis. It takes a balanced and combined effort of not 1 but 6
major lifestyle changes to improve bone strength.
The "Big 6 for Healthy Bones " are:
1. A diet that contains 50% fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies contain
greater amounts of water and minerals with generally lesser amounts of
animal protein.
2. Adequate water intake for maximum hydration. Water is very important
in helping the kidneys regulate pH and detoxify the body.
3. Daily stress reduction activities. This helps lower cortisol and homocystein
levels while reducing calcium loss.
4. Year round vitamin D3 levels in the 50-80 ng/mL (or 125-200 nM/L).
This should be confirmed by regular 25-hydroxyvitamin D testing.
5. Progesterone levels to be 0.3 to 0.5 ng/ml. This should be confirmed by
regular salivary progesterone testing.
6. Sufficient weight bearing exercise to stimulate muscle growth and balance.
This is essential for bone strengthening determined by regular full body strength testing.

It's Not Wise to Wait
The current wait and see approach to preventing and treating osteoporosis is
"too little too late." Many people think that taking adequate calcium and vitamin D
alone are enough to prevent bone loss or repair damaged bones; but it is not.
According to NOF, one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have
an osteoporosis-related fracture in her/his remaining lifetime. Up to 90 percent
of peak bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and age 20 in boys.
Youth is the best time to "invest" in bone health. But realistically, you can
strengthen your bones at any age if you follow the right program. Be Bone Strong!
helps mothers, daughters and whole families participate in health and fitness
activities that build strong bones, bodies and minds at any age.
The Importance of FRAX
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the FRAX® tool to evaluate
fracture risk in patients. FRAX® uses several clinical risk factors to determine your fracture risk.
The clinical risk factors that predict increased fracture are listed from higher to lower risk:
-
Age, Sex, Prior fragility fracture after age 50
-
History of corticosteroid use (5 mg or more for three months or more)
-
Parental history of hip fracture
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Secondary osteoporosis (e.g., type 1 diabetes, osteogenesis imperfecta in adults,
longstanding hyperthyroidism, hypogonadism, premature menopause, chronic
malabsorption and chronic liver disease)
-
Current smoker, Alcohol use of greater than 2 units daily (a unit is one medium
glass of wine or a glass of beer)
-
Body Mass Index
