Are you toxic? A 10 Question Quiz

WARNING: There could be a "toxic cocktail" brewing inside of you as you read this!

How? You ask?

Think about it...

Most of us have had years of exposure to GMO’s, pesticide sprayed foods, processed sugar laden food and drinks, air and water pollution, chemicals in cosmetics, and more.

All of these ingredients have conspired together to create a toxic wasteland inside your body.  That's why you probably don't feel as energetic or healthy as you might like and probably have more aches and pains than you think you should.

Yes, I know it sounds bleak but I need to lay down the truth for you.

But I do have good news for you because this quick Body Toxin Assessment can instantly show you how toxic you really are…and how to reverse the damage.

For just a few moments of your time, you can get an "under the hood" at what's going on inside your body and get an action plan to lose that holiday pounds and purge your body of toxic junk.

Meet my client, Sara

She's 52, works 30 hours a week at a somewhat stressful job, watches her two grandsons one day a week, cleans her 3500 square foot house by herself, usually has home improvement projects going on, helps her mom out a bit, and has a slightly grumpy husband who seems to complain more as he gets older (he needs to see me). She has taken very little time for herself to recoup and relax for over 30 years.  

Sara came to me with the following symptoms:

• Hair dull and falling out
• Low energy (uses caffeine and sugar to keep going)
• Difficulty losing weight
• Low sex drive
• Slightly elevated fasting blood sugar levels
• Chronic Constipation
• Slightly depressed
• Craves sugars and breads

Can you relate? These are all symptoms of hypo-thyroidism or Hashimotos which results in a thyroid that is under performing.  These symptoms can also be an indication that there is adrenal dysfunction, which is often an underlying problem to hypothyroidism. While Sara's thyroid was underachieving, she was over achieving, setting herself up for adrenal fatigue and under performing thyroid hormones.

10% of women have hypo-thyroidism and many of those cases go undiagnosed. This means that thousands of women are out there who are tired, depressed, overweight and they do not have to be! For them, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to do them a whole lot of good.  They are fighting an upstream battle and getting no where fast!  Men also go undiagnosed but in smaller numbers. 

The adrenal glands play a direct role in converting the inactive thyroid hormone into the active.  It is this active form that regulates metabolism and energy.  If your adrenal glands are in hyper mode due to ongoing stress and little rest, the thyroid medication that most doctors give their patients for an under active thyroid may help to alleviate symptoms but will not get to the root of the problem to truly fix things. This results in an ongoing dependence on medication and most often, continued insult to the adrenal glands persists.  

If you would like to know more about your thyroid and adrenal glands, how they influence your weight, energy, elimination, moods, libido and how to support and heal them please join me for a complimentary webinar that I will be giving on July 31st at 6:00 P.M.  Please click on the link below to register.  If you can not make the time and date of the broadcast, but would like to receive a recording, please register at this same link to receive a link to the broadcast.

Complimentary Webinar: Bringing hope with a multifaceted approach to Autism/ASD

Is Autism/ASD a brain based disorder that is unchangeable and lifelong or can a significant portion of the symptoms be caused by problems originating outside of the brain? Could genetic vulnerability along with environmental toxins, leaky gut, food intolerance, combined with deficiencies in important vitamins and minerals be the causal factors of the disorder? If so, then what steps can be taken to mediate the symptoms and improve life for the autistic child and caregivers?  Is there something that can be done for your child beyond eliminating gluten and casein?

To understand the variety of factors that contribute to the development of autism and the many options of determining the best treatment,  please join me for a complimentary webinar that I'm presenting on Thursday, June 19th at 12:00 noon and 7 P.M. PST. This presentation will give parents and caregivers new tools, understanding and hope. Please click on the links below to register.

I think I'm addicted to Sugar and Carbs. Now what do I do? Free Webinar

Do you constantly crave sugar and carbs?  Would you say that you are having a love affair with sugar and carbs?   If you find yourself saying yes to these questions, then your taste buds, brain chemistry, hormones and metabolism have been hijacked.  And this has happened to not only you but to over 200 million other people in this country.  The average American eats 152 pounds of sugar per person per year.  That's almost one 1/2 pound of sugar per day for every man, woman and child in America.  That's a lot of sugar, a lot of overproduction of insulin, which is a fat storing hormone, and a lot of unhappy and sick people!!!   It may be helpful to know that you are not alone but what is even more helpful, is that there is a simple solution that can change your cravings, brain chemistry and metabolism.

Find out what this simple solution is by attending the complimentary Webinar that I will be giving on Wednesday February 12th at 6:00 P.M, PST.   The link to sign up is https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2387052194744541697

The fact is, is that sugar is a drug and it is addictive.  It lights up the pleasure center in our brains like a pinball machine.  There is actually a new science that studies food addictions. They have conducted tests where rats will go for sugar over cocaine every time.  The Oreo cookies always win. Sugar is eight times as addictive as cocaine.  It lights up our brains and we wonder why we can't stop?   To get a better understanding of why it is so addicting and how you can change your brain chemistry around, please join me for my upcoming webinar, Addicted to Sugar...Now What Do I Do?  If you can not attend Wednesday, the 12th at 6:00  P.M. PST, but would still like to hear this eye opening webinar, don't worry, you can listen to a recording of the Webinar, at your convenience by using the link above to sign up.

Why have your attempts at dieting failed?  Because the plan could not last a long time and more importantly, the foods did not give you what your bodies needed.

30 Day Whole Body Detox

Join me on a life changing 30 Day Detox to Reset your Body and Your Brain.  

Detox, Lose Weight, Glow, Have Energy and a Happy Brain.

    There are 3 phases to this detox  and will take a total of 5 weeks which includes an introduction week. The three phases of the actual 30 day detox process consists of a Pre-Cleanse, the Actual Cleanse and a Re-entry phase.  During the 5 weeks, you will learn how your body works and how to support it to lose weight and be happy.  You will learn how to support a healthy digestive system, balance hormones to have energy, experience fabulous sleep, and have a brain that is calm and focused.

 This 5 week, life changing program, includes weekly support and education with webinars and a facebook page for discussions, a binder including, a workbook, self test for easy assessment of where your body needs the most support, easy healthy recipes, and an eating plan for the 4 weeks that will help you to lose weight, detox, and reset your metabolism.  All this and a tremendous amount of support as well.  

I am offering this course in a Webinar format so that people all over the world can benefit. It is very easily accessed from where ever you are and a recording of a session will be available for 2 weeks if you miss one.

This journey, starting Thursday, February 27th, will help you to understand why it is so important to heal key body systems in order to get your body working the way that it used to or the way you'd like it to work but maybe never has. You'll learn why the standard formula of fewer calories in and more calories out, often does not equal weight loss and how to step up your metabolism.

 I have led this class for 5 years and I have seen so many people get their lives back again, which truly makes me very happy!

 A personal note from me: This 5 week class is close to my heart because of the transformation and healing that anyone who comes will experience.  I am able to give a tremendous amount of support, information, guidance and tools inexpensively and I get to watch transformations occur that are amazing and uplifting.  I love supporting, teaching and watching participants understand their bodies and helping them to make lifestyle changes.  And because of the format, it allows a person to receive so much for a fraction of the cost of private consultations.  My clients pay me up to $750 to be guided through a program like this if they came to see me on a one on one basis.  I am very excited to finally be able to make it available to anyone, anywhere with this Webinar format 

Much of what is presented in this program is based on the book by Dr. Mark Hyman, The Ultramind but there is much, much more as well.

Experiences of previous clients/participants:

• There were so many firsts for me during this class. This was the first time I could function off of my anti depressants, the first time I've studied the effects of nutrition on my brain, the first time someone has listened to my particulars and had suggestions that actually worked. You are so fun and I enjoyed our class so much. Thank you for leading us.” Shannon

• I feel better than I have in years. I have lost the ugly belly fat….I feel happy-I can’t remember when I was just happy. My cholesterol drop 30 points. EH

• You provided me with a space to try different things that I would never have done on my own. And I didn't even realize how much I benefited from everything that I did and learned until some months down the road, after the class, when I began to feel sluggish and anxious again because I was no longer incorporating any of what I had learned. It works!! If was a gift to myself!

• I had been struggling with food allergies for years with stomach distension and cramping as a result and have tried many different remedies with little to no result. Then I had the opportunity to participate in your Broken Brain Program and for the first time in my life experienced relief and healing of my stomach and intestinal track. I would highly encourage anyone to take the opportunity to go through the program and heal their system and gain an incredible amount of knowledge in the process. Thank you Cindy for putting together such an in-depth educational program you made a huge difference in my life. Michael Buskey Jan 2012

Get stubborn pounds off for good, boost your energy levels and libido, stop mood swings

What if every day you woke up and:
   ... liked what you saw in the mirror?
   ... felt no aches and pains?
   ... had a digestive tract that worked?
   ... felt energized?
   ... felt purposeful, focused and joyful?
   ... felt restful?
   ... were disease free?

What would your life be like? What things would you be doing right now that you are not, because you do not have the energy or focus or self confidence?  

I want to help you find your way to being the best you can be by showing you the keys to getting your body back. There are 7 basic keys to keeping your body full of life, energy, looking and feeling good, no matter what age you are. I want to give you these keys to unlock your body's wisdom so I am inviting you to a free Webinar that I will be giving on December 11th. 

 Once you understand these keys, you will be on your way to becoming disease free and feeling and looking wonderful.  Now, how is that for health care reform?  The insurance and pharmaceutical companies would not know what hit them if we all knew and really believed that our bodies were designed to heal themselves and not be riddled with cancer, diabetes, digestive problems, obesity, heart disease, depression, anxiety, ED, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.

To find out what these 7 Keys are, please join me for this free Webinar on December 11th, 5:30-6:30 PST.  These keys will unlock the mystery of how to heal your body, lose stubborn weight, get rid of heartburn, food sensitivities, depression, migraines and feel and look ten years younger.    For many of you, these 7 keys will be life changing.  They will be the beginning of the way back to feeling well enough again to live life with energy, excitement and joy.  This is more than just looking and feeling younger, although that is always nice, it's about getting your life back again.

If you can not make the designated time of the airing, no worries.  A recording of the Webinar will be available for you to listen to for one week after airing but in order to have access to the recording, you will need to sign up for the Webinar.  And again, this is free.  I would like for everyone to know, that there is no need to be overweight, sick and/or tired. You do have the innate power change your body.  You just need the right tools and that is what I will give you.
Reserving your spot is easy. Just click on the link below.   https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/528720312224755202

Please pass this on to anyone you know who may be interested in taking charge of their health and well-being and staying or becoming disease free.  The more people I can reach and empower, the better the world will be.  And I know that that may sound a bit overstated but if people feel good and whole then what they put out into the world can be wonderful!  I have been privileged to watch this happen many times over with my clients from West to East coast.  

This webinar is the first step to a renewed life.  And you men, out there...this is for you too :-).

Experiences of previous clients/participants:

• There were so many firsts for me during this class. This was the first time I could function off of my anti depressants, the first time I've studied the effects of nutrition on my brain, the first time someone has listened to my particulars and had suggestions that actually worked. You are so fun and I enjoyed our class so much. Thank you for leading us.” Shannon
• I feel better than I have in years. I have lost the ugly belly fat….I feel happy-I can’t remember when I was just happy. My cholesterol drop 30 points. EH
• You provided me with a space to try different things that I would never have done on my own. And I didn't even realize how much I benefited from everything that I did and learned until some months down the road, after the class, when I began to feel sluggish and anxious again because I was no longer incorporating any of what I had learned. It works!! If was a gift to myself!
• I have been struggling with food allergies for years with stomach distension and cramping as a result and have tried many different remedies with little to no result. Then I had the opportunity to participate in your Broken Brain Program and for the first time in my life experienced relief and healing of my stomach and intestinal track. I would highly encourage anyone to take the opportunity to go through the program and heal their system and gain an incredible amount of knowledge in the process. Thank you Cindy for putting together such an in-depth educational program you made a huge difference in my life. Michael Buskey Jan 2012
