Try a Fresh Start 30 Day Solution
The Goal
To Look Good... Feel Great... and Enjoy Life to the Fullest
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.
Think of how good you'll look and feel with a healthy body weight?
Imaging how a stronger body with increased energy and stamina will
improve your enjoyment of tennis, golf, or just going for a walk or hike.
Your health and quality of life depend on a healthy lifestyle!
Our Fresh Start solutions help you look good and feel great in as little
as 30 days. We'll show you how to reduce stress, have more energy,
permanently lose weight, soothe painful joints and start enjoying your
life to the fullest. The best news is you can do all of this without special
foods, extreme Boot Camps or 7 day a week gym workouts.
The Problem
Today's Fitness, Wellness and Weight Loss Programs Promise
More Than They Deliver
Today's programs only offer a piecemeal approach to better health. The result...
unhealthy "yo-yo" weight loss with nasty side effects. Gym workouts that
may cause more harm than good and don't "burn off" those extra calories as
promised. Little or no time spent reducing stress; one of the primary causes of
poor health. These programs make you "go it alone" without a plan and a personal
and professional support team, making success just about impossible. Unless you
have the right tools and know how to use them, staying healthy is hard work.
The right Fresh Start solution gives you an effective, easy to follow, life
changing solution instead of diets, fitness gadgets and health gimmicks.
You'll reduce stress, stop overeating, improve conditioning, enjoy healthier
foods and more energy.

A Healthy Weight!...
and Better
Health Too!
"Good Food Contributes to 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 certain medications, food affects your brain. Unbelievable as it may sound, certain foods can even stimulate your brain just like cocaine.
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. You have to find the cause of overeating and fix it. We can help you break the STRESS-eating cycle and stop overeating. We show you how to start eating for healthy, not unhealthy reasons. That is your key to successful 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.

Take Away the Fear...
Be Bone Strong!
"A Healthy Body Creates Healthy Bones"
Woody McMahon

Working with your doctor, we help you create, organize and implement a complete osteoporosis treatment program.

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 incorporating 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
