You’ll find we carry supplements that support most any of the body functions. If you have a knowledgeable health care professional to recommend supplements to you, you need only find the appropriate supplement on our website by either plugging in the primary ingredient or the name of the product. If you’d like to support a certain part of the body, but don’t know how, simply find that organ or structure and our computerized format will automatically recommend specific supplements to you. Or if you want our recommendation on an overall health regimen, simply fill out our brief health questionnaire and we will set you up with your own personalized regimen. It’s that simple.

    Our overall goal is to help you live as long as possible in the best health possible. We are strong proponents of eating healthy, keeping ones weight and body fat normal, keeping fit with regular exercise, keeping the mind sharp with appropriate mental and emotional exercises, keeping the skin looking healthy and youthful, and supplementing specific nutrients that are difficult to get in regular food.

    In general you should eat 5- 9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day and eat a diet that is low in the refined starches and sugars. In other words, limit bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, sweets and alcohol. Emphasize healthy proteins such as chicken, fish, and lean meats. Minimize saturated fats. Favor canola oil, fish oil, and olive oil. Eat as many vegetables as possible in all combinations except limit potatoes and corn. Get plenty of vegetables and fruits because they contain many naturally occurring phyto-nutrients that reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease, the two main killers.

    Next, keep your weight down. This can be done eating our veggie-protein diet. It is also acceptable and often highly effective for people that are highly overweight to use meal replacements for all but 1 meal per day, and we have helped thousands of patients in that regard.

    Exercise regularly. We need a minimum of 3 hours of exercise per week to achieve optimal health and this exercise should be at 2 parts aerobic exercise to one part strength or weight training.

    But don’t forget about the mind. Mental well-being can be achieved with various forms of help, including spiritual, meditation, laughter, play, family, relaxation, among others.

    The skin also needs attention. It is one of our most vital and protective organs. We recommend daily the use on a daily basis of a good quality wash, an environmental protectant, an anti-oxidant, a topical repair agent, a collagen stimulator to promote skin regeneration, and a sunscreen. We have a whole line of excellent products and can again assist you in deciding what is best for you.

    Finally as discussed above, vitamins and herbal supplements are critical in supporting the overall health of the body as well providing specific organ support. Although they are not used to treat specific disease states, they are extremely helpful at promoting optimal health for these various organs.

    We optimize all the factors above in our own lives and hope you will allow us to help optimize them in yours as well. Best of success to achieving a long and healthy life. Our goal is to get people past 100 years old, still upright, active and exercising!!
