SHOP w/the DOC, making healthy shopping EASY!

Well the kick off to the 40 DAY CHALLENGE was this morning, and the energy was SUPER CHARGED. We had a lot of great questions about what to eat and where to shop and what a great place to start by going grocery shopping. I know it can be daunting and a little stressful when you think about walking into your grocery store and having to search for these different foods or produce. The truth is, that’s one great thing about Maximized nutrition, it’s easy and simple. You will literally know exactly what to get out of your fridge and pantry and what to put back in. We gave you those trouble-free guidelines and shopping lists so that you’ll walk into your grocery store feeling confident about what you have to buy and what to avoid. Once you follow the shopping list of foods to get and stock your kitchen up with all these great healthy foods, things will become quite simple. You can shop easily because you will have the instructions on what you should buy organic and things are safe to buy non-organic. You will have a list of the Clean Fifteen and the Dirty Dozen. These two lists cover the fruits and vegetables that you should buy organic because their pesticide load is very high and which fruits and vegetables are ok to buy non-organic.

Did you know that apples have 50-60 pesticide residues on them? A good suggestion is to buy apples organic but things like avocadoes are very low on the pesticide load so they are ok to buy non-organic. For the foods you should buy organic, you will also have a list of places that you can go to. Many grocery stores actually have an organic section in their produce area. Some grocery stores also have a natural food isle as well. The more we eat better and healthier, the more stores will bring in the foods we want.

Sometimes even with all the lists and guidelines, we still feel a little anxiety about shopping. We are going to help you make it easier than you think. On Wednesday February 16th, from 6:30-7:30pm, we are going to take a group of our 40 DAY CHALLENGERS and patient on a Grocery Store Tour. You will learn to avoid the Hidden Health Hazards. You will also learn how to easily navigate the store to save time and money while shopping for healthy foods. We’ll help you discover how to eat healthy on a budget and how to stock your kitchen with foods your whole family will love.

We will be going to COSTCO on McGillivray & Kenaston for our SHOP W/THE DOC, our grocery store tour. Dr Dave will be giving you a tour of where to go and what to buy. He’ll also give you some tips on what to avoid and how to make shopping as quick and easy as possible.

Shopping for healthy foods is not as difficult as you may think and these guidelines and lists will aide you so it is as easy and simple as can be. Check out our website for further information
Good luck to everyone. You all are going to have AMAZING results!

Do you know about the 5 Essentials to a Maximized Life?

         When you look into your future, where would you rather be:
                                
         1. Being full of life and touring around the world on a CRUISE SHIP.
                                                                                        
                                                     OR

                    2. Having to be placed in a NURSING HOME.

         I would like to venture that most people would like to end up full of life and on a cruise ship. The daunting fact is that 60% of North Americans are overweight, out of shape, dying of cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Now I know when I read this statistic, I feel amazed at how large percentage is and unfortunately that number will continue to grow. Another quick scary statistic is that 5 out of 6 people will get heart disease and cancer. Think about that, I mean really think about it. Think of six people you know. Now five of them are going to get heart disease or cancer. The real scary part is that, one of those people could be you and me. It would seem like that’s a huge mountain standing in the way of that wonderful cruise ship, BUT fear not. You CAN take control of your health and your life. You CAN begin to prevent sickness and disease. There is a food plan out there that really works to help your body heal and have more energy than ever before. You really, truly CAN become extremely fit by exercising under 30 minutes a week. That’s like watching one episode of The Big Bang Theory. You can also eliminate toxic exposures that are making you and your family sick and unhealthy. All you need to do is apply the 5 Essentials and you CAN Maximize your life.

         These Essentials aren’t just good ideas, they are the laws that govern your body and how it functions and heals. These 5 Essentials are:

Essential #1: Maximized Mind.

This 1st Essential must be the foundation for all the others. You must first get your mind right, and eliminate the Stinking Thinking that so many of us are limited by. You must have a positive mindset and focus. You truly can do anything you put your mind too.

Essential #2: Maximized Nerve Supply.

This Essential is the very essence of how well your body is currently functioning and healing. Without it, you can never reach your full God-given potential. It is the missing link in healthcare today. You can go 1 month without food, days without water and minutes without air BUT you CANNOT go one second without NERVE SUPPLY!

Essential #3: Maximized Nutrition.

Nutrition is an integral path of health, wellbeing, and longevity. Unfortunately, the Standard North American Diet has led us down a path that has caused more sickness and disease than ever before.

Essential #4: Maximized Oxygen & Lean Muscle.

Motion is life, and this essential is often neglected because people don’t have the time or energy to apply it. Maximized Living has developed cutting edge exercise programs that literally take only minutes a day!

Essential #5: Minimized Toxins.

Due to the toxic onslaught that we are faced with every day from our environment, our food supply, amalgam fillings, mold etc. Many people are just unable to properly detoxify. The body must be purified to perform properly.

         These Essentials may seem easy but they can be tough without the proper guidance and support. We can help you with both in our office. We are starting our 3rd 40 DAY CHALLENGE right here in our office. We give you all the tools and support you need for the next 40 days. These tools will revolutionize your life and your health.
