Paula
recommends 3 natural solutions to prevent headaches (diet, lifestyle and
supplementation).Below are just a few
things that caught my attention.
Diet
Keep your
water hydrated.This is an easy thing to
do and you can find water everywhere.
Eat diets
low in carbs and high in protein.That
filet is sounding pretty good right about now!
If you have
a headache, try eating 12-15 raw almonds.That can help relieve a headache.Who knew?
Lifestyle
Acupressure.Without going to see a practitioner, Paula
recommends, holding the area between the thumb and the index finger for 9-10
breathing cycles.
Aromotherapy.
Peppermint, lavender and eucalyptus oils can be applied on the temple.
Physical
therapies.Tai Chi, reflexology and
chiropractic treatments are also good therapies.
Supplemental Support
·Butterbur(75mg
twice daily), Feverfew and Ginger.
·Magnesium
citrate, 400-600mg produced a 50% reduction in headaches. Those that suffer
migraine headaches tend to be significantly deficient in magnesium.
·Molybdenum
·Omega-3s
with GLA – EFA Sirt Supreme (6-15gm/day)
·CoQ10,
150mg/day. Supplementation for 3 months resulted in a >50% reduction in
headache days in 61.3% of 321 patients.
·Probiotics
·Riboflavin
·Vitamins
B2, B6, B12, folic acid
·Vitamins
C and E
Paula states
that the above supplements can be helpful, but that they are specific to each
individual.I couldn’t have said that
part better myself!
With a
customized supplement plan that takes into consideration one’s diet, exercise,
lifestyle and other factors, we can not only defend ourselves from receiving
headaches, but we can balance out our body and defend against other health
issues.

short video below to learn more about ID Nutrition.A new customized supplement brought to you by

had all my life.That’s my story.I can’t wait to hear yours!
The picture above was a joke recently posted by someone on Facebook…”This is what David looked like after he spent 2 years in the U.S.”Now why this is funny to you me, I think Michelangelo would not have laughed so much.It’s also not a laughing matter if you are built like this!
According to the Mayo Clinic, men who carry belly fat are at a much greater risk for health problems, like: Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Stroke, Type 2 Diabetes, some types of cancer, Sleep apnea and this list goes on.
According to their article, your waist is a good indicator for belly fat.For most men, if you have a waist in excess of 40”, you are probably increasing your risk factors for heart disease and other diseases.
Physical activity, age, genes and alcohol intake are all factors towards belly fat.Read the full article here.
While we know exercise is a big part of losing weight, so is proper nutrition.You can get good nutrition through a proper diet, but with today’s hectic lifestyle, most Americans don’t take the time to prepare and eat healthier.By making moderate choices and adding a good supplement to your daily routine can make a huge difference, not only towards losing weight, but also towards your overall health.
I highly recommend ID Nutrition.In the first 30 days of taking it, I noticed a substantial increase in my overall energy levels.I started getting much better sleep immediately.Lastly, I lost 5 lbs. and at least an inch of my waistline.

Stone Hearth News recently posted an article online titled, Positive feelings may help protect cardiovascular health.I found the data interesting that “optimistic individuals have a 50% reduced risk of experiencing an initial cardiovascular event compared to their less optimistic peers.”
This article also stated that, “The American Heart Association reports more than 2,200 Americans die of cardiovascular disease (CVD) each day, an average of one death every 39 seconds. Stroke accounts for about one of every 18 U.S. deaths.”
This hits home for me.My father had a stroke in his early 40s.He also had multiple hearts attacks over the following years of his life.He ended up with a defibulator on his heart to keep him alive.He died in his early 60s and never got a chance to meet his grandson, Asher.
While my father was optimistic and lived life to the fullest, he wasn’t great about taking care of his health.He drank, smoke, got little rest, rarely worked out and had a diet that could have been better.Don’t get me wrong, he was the best cook I ever knew, but it didn’t meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.J
Like my father, I imagine that most of you reading this post don’t eat right, deal with high stress or don’t work-out enough.That’s why it is important to take nutritional supplements.Don’t believe me?Listen to the call titled, “Why take supplements” with Paul Sullivan (recorded April 7, 2012).Click here now.
You want to give yourself a chance to live longer and healthier, don’t you?Taking supplements can give your body the nutrients it needs (that it isn’t getting from your diet) so you can fight off family genetics, like in my case: cardiovascular disease.Will I have a heart attack or stroke some day?I don’t know, but I do know that if I start taking care of myself now, that I give myself a better chance to meet my grandchildren!
If you’re anything like me, you’re thinking that this makes sense.Let me tell you something…It’s never too late to start improving your health.Begin your journey today with a FREE Health Assessment and recommendation of nutrients from ID Nutrition.It could be the best investment of time that you ever made!

Having Problems with Memory? You might need some B12!
A recent Neurology study, found that a B12 deficiency was linked to brain shrinkage. There are several things that can affect B12 deficiency: Increasing Age, Coffee Consumption, Use of Antacids and more. Learn more by reading this article.
Research also supports that supplementing B12 with other B Vitamins helps slow down brain atrophy. Brain Atrophy is a characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. Do you help prevent yourself from having Dementia and Alzheimer’s? It might be time to invest in some B12!
In a recent attempt to better my own health, I took a FREE Online Health Assessment to find out what nutrients I needed, not only for brain health, but all aspects of my body. In my last post, The Cost of Good Health, I explain that taking supplements doesn’t have to be expensive. I provided the results of my report as well.
After I got my report, I went to a “mom and pop” nutrition store here in Frisco, TX. While I was there, I browsed the isles with my report in hand. I went down the list and came across 5 supplements that were recommended. At that point, I was already at $120 and I still had another 20+ to go. I easily could have spent a few hundred dollars to try to match what was on my report. Instead, I ordered my supplements through ID Nutrition for a small fraction of that cost and I received higher quality supplements delivered right to my door step.

Many people think that the cost of being healthy is out of their budget. Depending on your income, if you are living at the poverty level, that might be true. For most of us, that is NOT the case. Check out one of my last posts, ID Nutrition vs. GNC.
Incorporating good nutrition and supplements into your daily routine does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. For example, I recently went online to complete a FREE Health Assessment with ID Nutrition. This process took all of 15-minutes for me to complete. With a little over 40 questions, I was able to input information about my allergies, family health history, stress levels and much more.
When I was done with the process, I was given a CUSTOM recommendation just for me on what nutrients I should be taking. What’s even more amazing is that this is all backed by scientific data. I was provided a basic daily pack option along with 5 additional recommended nutrients. I thought through which were the most important to me at this stage in my life and then placed my order.
Are you curious to know what the system recommended for me?Click here to download a PDF with the details.
Now, if you are curious to see how much all of those supplements cost, I dare you to go to GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Costco or even online and add up the cost of all those items. See what it would cost for me to take that monthly. After you do that, give me a call and I’ll tell you what I paid for my customized pack. You will be shocked! The cost of good health IS in your budget!

So I am up early after a good night’s rest thanks to a sample I had left for In a Snap - Sleep. I was doing a little work this morning looking for an idea for today’s post. I came across an article on Men’s Health magazine online titled, 11 Foods that End Bad Moods. Over and over, many of the foods suggested had nutrients that helped fight depression. That prompted me to do a little research.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, depression affects approximately 1 out of 10 Americans. With today’s fast-food society, that doesn’t surprise me. Much of what Americans consume is not only bad for our body, but it’s bad for our mind. Depression affects us in so many ways. It gives us a low self-esteem and from finding pleasure in what would normally be an enjoyable activity.
Now, back to the diet. Some foods can increase our stress levels. Much of what is found in the typical American diet slows down our body and our mind.
So what can we do about it? In many cases, with a proper diet and a customized daily supplement, like ID Nutrition, we can give our bodies what we need to knock out depression from our system. If you must take anti-depressants, ID Nutrition can work WITH your prescription, not against it, like many OTC supplements.
If you want to learn more about designing a diet to combat depression, seek professional guidance from a Licensed Nutritionist. If you want to learn more about customizing a supplement plan just for YOU, give me a call.
PS - I also recommend reading a good book that is designed to “lift you up.” Check out some of the titles written by Krish Dhanam. You’ll be glad that you did!
What’s the difference between your average GNC employee and W. Paul Sullivan R. Ph.?
GNC employee: Hourly employee who reads muscle magazines about nutrition in between customers. W. Paul Sullivan R. Ph.: has dedicated his life to studying nutrition and is one of the most sought after pharmacists and formulators in the world!
GNC employee: has no clue how their supplements will interact with your prescription drugs. W. Paul Sullivan R. Ph.: has spent 17 years designing a software program with well over 4,000 algorithms that takes over 5,000 clinical studies from 1,500 worldwide evidence-based medical and nutrition journals ach and every month into consideration towards targeted nutritional recommendations.
GNC employee: works to sell you products that are designed for the general public. W. Paul Sullivan R. Ph.: Works to achieve your optimal health and customizes a supplement plan that is unique to YOU with ID Nutrition!
So let me ask you a question. If you could get a CUSTOMIZED Nutritional Supplement designed by one of the TOP pharmacists and nutritional experts in the world for about the same cost (or less) as over the counter supplements made for the general public that doesn’t take into account your prescriptions, which product would you rather buy?
Keep this in mind, even if you don't take prescriptions, having a supplement that takes other things into consideration, like gender, age, type of work, lifestyle and other key fsctors and then having it custom made just for you beats any over the counter one-size fits all supplement.
Still not convinced W. Paul Sullivan R. Ph. has developed a superior product with ID Nutrition? Take a moment to watch this video below.
“There’s a pill for that!” is probably one of the most common phrases we hear from doctors these days. Americans in general are looking for that magic pill to cure just about everything. The drug companies are more than happy to try to make something that helps our ailments and diseases. Secondly, doctors are more than happy to prescribe the drugs that their drug reps recommend.
So what is wrong with this process? Whether you suffer from depression, have high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure or possess other diseases, you are probably on a prescription regimen to deal with it. The question is, “Are you on a supplement regimen to help your body receive the nutrients it is losing from the drugs you are taking?”
If you answered NO, then you need to begin by taking vitamins and supplements today because you could be doing your body harm while on the drugs that are supposed to be helping you. Keep reading below.
If you answered YES, then at least you are thinking in the right direction. The problem is that you may be heading in the wrong direction. Without proper education, timing and dosage, your supplements could be affecting your prescription negatively. If you started on one prescription and over time you have had to go to multiple prescriptions, you could have been partly to blame by entering supplements into your daily routine that actually counteracted the drug from doing what it is supposed to do.
So what is the answer? Enhance International has partnered with Chief Formulary W. Paul Sullivan R. Ph. to bring you a revolutionary product called ID Nutrition.
Take a moment to watch this short video with Paul, who is our Chief Scientific Officer. Mr. Sullivan explains more about our approach to Integrative Medicine (combining nutrition with prescriptions). ID Nutrition begins with an assessment (based on science) using over 4,000 algorithms that helps determine exactly what your body needs based on how you answer the questionnaire. Imagine having a custom supplement formula made specifically for you and your lifestyle, your prescriptions and personal health issues. Go to our page for ID Nutrition now.

Why would I title this post, “Direct Sales - Insanity or Genius?” Well, first of all today marks Einstein’s birthday, March 14, 1879. Einstein also said, “Insanity defined is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
So let me ask you two questions:
· “Are you getting different results working a standard job, getting standard pay?” · “Would you be interested in making more money even if it required a different business model or new set of behaviors?
If you are open to trying something new, keep reading. Otherwise, you might be a little insane.
In 2011 Katherine Ponder, journalist with the Wall Street Journal wrote an article (photo below) titled, “The Ultimate Social Business Model.” She goes on to write about the billions of dollars made in 2010 ($125B to be exact) and gives a great overview to the business known as Direct Sales.
Companies and representatives selling makeup, travel, green household products and hundreds of others of items are making a ton or cash. The question is, “Shouldn’t YOU be a part of that?”
In Direct Sales, representatives run their own business for a fraction of the cost compared to what it takes to run a franchise or even start a new company from scratch. I am newly aligned with Enhance International, where representatives are paid on moving product (volume).
You can build a team, find partners to help you move product or simply sell retail direct to customers. Regardless of HOW you do it, if you move a lot of product, you can make a lot of money.
I know people personally who have made 5 & 6-figure checks monthly. Yes, that’s monthly, not yearly. I know other people in the business that simply want a little extra cash for their family. Some make a few hundred dollars a month for a car payment, some make a few thousand dollars a month for vacations, retirement or to invest. Regardless of where you are on the spectrum ($100 - $100,000 extra per month), you should consider doing something on the side. It’s always nice to have some extra cash!
Let me ask you a question... If you go to a good movie or restaurant, do you tell people about it? Do you even put it on Facebook? So why wouldn’t you consider telling people about products or services that you use that can save them money and offer higher quality products? That’s all this is. If you don’t feel comfortable building teams, then just sell retail. Cost is minimal to nothing to get started.
So let’s say now you have made your mind up to give direct sales a shot. Would you like to be on the ground floor (literally) of a new company about to explode? Well, I’m here to say that your time has come. Enhance International is launching the company with a great product line in March of 2012.
Consider joining me on my team. I will be working directly under one of the top producers in this industry. We are looking to develop leaders who want to make an impact in peoples’ lives and who want to make a substantial income while having fun. Are you interested?
