Dr. Dennis Gage, M.D. obesity expert and endocrinologist urges Americans to give up one day of unhealthy food and donate the value of the item to relief agencies to help Tsunami survivors. The disastrous Tsunami has given every American a unique chance to save a life, a human being, the most precious commodity in the world. Here is how you can help: Each American can for one day of the year give up one item of food, in particular an unhealthy item such as soda, a fast-food meal, one pack of cigarettes, a fattening dessert, or an unhealthy snack. Take the value of the item and send a donation to the relief agencies that help Tsunami survivors. Is there any better way of giving "TLC"? For you, there is not only the knowledge and satisfaction of helping others, but you have ironically helped yourself. The unfortunate events that occurred in the Indian Ocean may have been prevented by having had a "Red Alert Warning System in place to warn coastal residents of potential Tsunami events. Unfortunately this was not in place and so many lives were lost. Secretary of State Colin Powell visited Thailand and pledged U.S. support for a regional warning system in hopes of preventing such massive loss of life from future tsunamis. Dr. Dennis Gage, M.D., Obesity Expert and Endocrinologist states "It is such an unusual situation to talk about a "Red Alert" in the United States. We always think of defending our country, but so many patients in my practice who have suffered from obesity have failed to sound a "Red Alert" after losing weight and this is the major problem that faces many people in this country where thousands of lives are lost because a "Red Alert" again is not sounded". A "Red Alert Warning System" when used by people would save thousands of lives even in the United States by preventing the ravages and destruction that is caused by the epidemic of obesity. Three quarters of Americans are overweight and we are killing ourselves with the epidemic of obesity. So by giv...

From an expert in integrative medicine, a thirty-day plan to help women lose weight and look and feel years younger.As they grow older, many women struggle to lose weight. Unlike many men their age, they may also suffer from sleep problems, osteoporosis, and depression. Many women may even feel like they age less slowly and gracefully than their male counterparts. Dr. Tami Meraglia knows that the magic word here is testosterone. While there is ample discussion in the medical community about the effects of estrogen loss, few people are aware of the importance of sufficient testosterone levels in women. A healthy dosage helps women slim down, improves their mood, lowers the risk of cardiac disease, increases energy and libido, prevents osteoporosis, enhances skin tone and texture, and may even prevent cognitive decline—yet more than 90 percent of women over age forty-five suffer from low testosterone levels. In The Hormone Secret, Dr. Tami offers an evidence-based thirty-day plan to restore healthy levels of testosterone and balance the relative levels of other hormones, based on lifestyle modifications such as supplements and nutritional adjustments. She also offers her Mediterranean Diet–based meal plan and low-impact exercise ideas that will immediately boost your energy. With cutting-edge research and strong scientific evidence to support Dr. Tami’s thirty-day plan, The Hormone Secret gives you all the information you need to balance your hormones and improve your vitality for a strong and healthy life.

“If diets worked, we'd all be thin by now. Instead, we have enlisted hundreds of millions of people into a war we can't win."  What’s the secret to losing weight? If you’re like most of us, you’ve tried cutting calories, sipping weird smoothies, avoiding fats, and swapping out sugar for Splenda. The real secret is that all of those things are likely to make you weigh more in a few years, not less.  In fact, a good predictor of who will gain weight is who says they plan to lose some. Last year, 108 million Americans went on diets, to the applause of doctors, family, and friends. But long-term studies of dieters consistently find that they’re more likely to end up gaining weight in the next two to fifteen years than people who don’t diet. Neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt spent three decades in her own punishing cycle of starving and regaining before turning her scientific eye to the research on weight and health. What she found defies the conventional wisdom about dieting:  ·Telling children that they’re overweight makes them more likely to gain weight over the next few years. Weight shaming has the same effect on adults. ·The calories you absorb from a slice of pizza depend on your genes and on your gut bac­teria. So does the number of calories you’re burning right now. ·Most people who lose a lot of weight suffer from obsessive thoughts, binge eating, depres­sion, and anxiety. They also burn less energy and find eating much more rewarding than it was before they lost weight. ·Fighting against your body’s set point—a cen­tral tenet of most diet plans—is exhausting, psychologically damaging, and ultimately counterproductive.  If dieting makes us fat, what should we do instead to stay healthy and reduce the risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other obesity-related conditions? With clarity and candor, Aamodt makes a spirited case for abandoning diets in favor...
