Overweight in America

If you are overweight, or just have a few pounds to lose, don’t feel alone; over two-thirds of the American population is overweight. If you have dieted and starved yourself without results, if you have tortured yourself with exercise to no avail, and if nothing you try seems to work, you aren’t alone there, either. 

If any of these approaches worked on their own merits, the United States wouldn’t be the fattest nation on the planet; because everyone knows we Americans have more diets, exercise machines, weight-loss pills, plans, and surgeries, and more diet foods than anywhere else on Earth!  But, as a nation, two-thirds of our population is still overweight.

The truth is:  The way Americans look at fat, weight, and weight-loss, is almost completely wrong!  The medical, diet, exercise, and food industries are growing daily; and so is America’s waistline.  How would we know if any of our approaches were working? Americans would be getting healthier; that’s how!

Instead, Americans are getting unhealthier by the millions; and we’re here to change that. We’re here to offer you real help – and real results.  So start imagining yourself as the fit, healthy person you want to be; and we’ll teach you how to do it – permanently – the easy way.

Natural Weight Loss

Our approach to Natural Weight Loss takes into account the underlying reasons for weight gain; and helps you remove them so the excess weight simply falls away without struggle.  You see, your body manufactures fat for only a few reasons – all of which help us survive. Excess body fat helps us:

Survive in cold climates
Protect our bones and organs from impact and injury
Store food so we don’t starve
Look bigger to our enemies
Avoid unwanted attention and contact
Float in water without effort

These are just some of the primary and obvious benefits of body fat. But the point is that food doesn’t make you fat; your body manufactures fat FOR YOU.  And it has its reasons for doing so.

Our natural approach to weight loss involves several factors, and many of them directly address fear and survival issues to free your body from its programmed need for protection from unrealistic threats. When your body’s reasons for producing and storing excess fat are gone, your body will no longer produce and store unwanted fat.

We use a number of cutting-edge techniques and strategies for quick, natural, and permanent weight-loss – all of which are designed to address one of the critical links in the process your body uses to protect you from perceived potential threats to your health, safety, or security.

The Mind-Booty Connection

The Mind-Booty Connection is a play on words derived from the Mind-Body connection and its role in putting pounds and inches on your butt, or “booty.”  Here’s how the Mind-Body connection works:

Our mind becomes aware of a desire or a change in the environment
Our brain receives this new information and compares it to our memories
If there is a potential threat, a part of our brain triggers the stress response
A series of electrical and chemical signals is released from the brain to the body
The hormones and electrical impulses change our physiological processes
This chain of events is sometimes called, “The stress response,” “The H-P-A axis,” “The fight-or-flight response,” along with a few other things

The important thing to remember about the stress response is that, when it is on, you are probably gaining weight.  When your mind detects a reason to be stressed and your stress response is activated, here are just a few of the things your body does as a natural part of the stress response:

Increased Heart rate, respirations, and blood pressure
Suppressed Immune system
Suppressed Reproductive system
Suppressed Digestive system
Release of Cortisol and other stress-hormones

It is important to note that, while in the stress response, your body does not – cannot – digest food properly. The cortisol released as a part of the stress response helps your body convert undigested food to fat and store it for future use.  With a slowed, or stopped, digestive system, anything you eat must stay with you; and with the release of cortisol, it stays with you as fat.

Taking drugs to alter your levels of cortisol is risky business – especially when you consider that you can naturally and immediately turn off the stress response in a number of different ways.  With the Mind-Booty Connection, you will learn about several places where you can influence, moderate, and even eliminate the stress response, including:

The mind and the thought patterns and processes within it
The brain and the electrical processing of the signals generated by thinking
The nervous system through which signals are processed and distributed
The organ and endocrine systems where hormones are made and released
And, in the self-image – where you keep your blueprint of your self

Using the latest advances and understanding in the medical and scientific world, The Mind-Booty Connection addresses all of these areas, the underlying causes of stress and weight-gain, and even the physiological effects of stress.  Here are just a few of the powerful tools we use with, and even teach to, our natural weight-loss clients:

Hypnosis / Self-hypnosis
Emotional Freedom Techniques
The Z-Point Process
Psychological Kinesiology
Visualization techniques
Affirmation
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Whole-brain postures and techniques
And many other natural approaches to total Mind-Body health and wellness
 

The Five-Elements of Healthy Weight-loss and Management

In addition to the Mental, Emotional, Psychological, Electrical, Chemical, and Energetic components to weight-loss and weight-management, we also provide a practical understanding of what your body really needs in order to be fit and healthy. We call these the “Five-Elements of Healthy Weight-Loss:”

Air – deep, regular, and conscious breathing is essential to life and health
Water – you are mostly comprised of water; and water washes away fat & toxins
Earth – you must eat consciously in order for your food to have the desired effect
Fire – you must remain happy and active doing what you enjoy
Wood – like plants and trees, you must continue to grow, stretch, move, and bend; and you must withdraw and rest when it is time – as trees do in the fall

These might sound like simple things to you, but when combined, these elements provide the secret to a long, healthy, happy, peaceful life. Unfortunately, understanding the importance of these “simple” steps is not really that easy; and integrating them into your life can be even more difficult. We will help you understand the physical components, or elements, of healthy weight-loss in such a way that healthy living becomes automatic for you!
