As a medical physician, I have seen many products of health beneficence Some bad, some good. Recently I had a new product come across my desk and after using said products for almost 90 days now , I can say that I've had a phenomenal experience with it. This product is Limu.
When Limu was first brought to my attention, I was extremely skeptical about anything that I read. But after a throughout company background check and product usage, I was sold.
Fucoidan is the primary ingredient in all their products. Fucoidan comes from the brown seaweed or algae located mostly in the Polynesian or Asian areas. Scientists are going crazy pants about this substance and have done study after study after study in regards to the affects of fucoidan on MANY health related issues. On the science research web page, Pubmed.com, there are already over 900 studies and counting relating to fucoidan. Over 900!! I can't even count that high!!
My personal experience with Limu: for the last few years I have had the worst trouble sleeping. Mostly due to stress (ie, work, money, family, patients, etc) that have kept me up at night. Creating an average of about 4 hours of sleep per night for me. I read in a book somewhere that you need at least 8-9, and I was only getting 4!! (No wonder my coffee tab was getting higher!) After taking the Limu Original for about a week I had my first night of 12 hours of sleep. Needless to say, I was shocked (and rested!). If Limu did this, what else can it do.
Contact me and let's find out what Limu can do for you!

Plateaus in weight-loss are expected!!
Let me drop a few extra suggestions
your way to help you stay on the path!
1. Exercise
You should already be exercising, but now adding
extra programs. Adding weight bearing exercises will help strengthen
bones, build lean muscle, and help burn that extra fat. Keep in mind that
when you build muscle AND lose fat, there may be an equal balancing out on the
scales. So shoot your scale and trust your body.
2. Gonna eat bad, eh okay - just make better bad choices!
I'll admit it, I love fast food! LOVE IT! Do
not beat yourself up or lay thick the guilt if you decide to indulge.
Make better choices such as, just a single patty burger rather than the
double-double. Get the sandwiches made with no mayo. In & Out
has a secret burger one needs to ask for called the "Protein Style"
where there is no bun, but the burger is wrapped in lettuce instead.
Small changes here can really help in the long run.
3. Snack Right
Snacking
right is like eating fast food you have to make the right choices.
Avoiding high-calorie, nutrient empty foods is the attack plan here.
Our office's nutritional program has several snack options: such as Snacks and
their decedent IsaDelight Chocolates, Yum!
4. Avoid Sugary Drinks
Remember the nutrient empty foods I spoke
about early? Well, these drinks fall right into that category.
Fruit juices or purified water are far better drinks to start with.
Sport drinks such as Powerade or Gatorade are okay, but really meant more
for when you are working out rather than just a thirst quencher.
5. Our friend, fiber
Other than keeping you regular, which is a good thing, fiber will help keep you satisfied longer! The National Fiber Council recommendation is roughly about 25-30 grams daily. These Slim Cakes are not only have 5 grams of fiber but a healthy dose of deliciousness.

6. Nancy Regan
says, "Just say NO to bad Fats" (well not really, but she should
have!)
There is a whole separate blog coming
about this one topic, so I'll just make some big pointers. Bad fats are
those who say, "saturated," or "trans" in the name.
More and more studies are coming out which are showing that an increase
of dietary omega-3 fatty fish oils are not only great for your heart but also
for lowering and sustaining body weight. Look for high-quality, high-potency fish oils supplements and start to
see the myriad benefits one can get!
So keep at it true believers! Stay on the path and and enjoy your new life!

5 Reasons your diet is not working
The CDC has put out a staggering number for the obesity epidemic in America. 64%, 64%, of Americans are either overweight or obese. Sadly, due to diet failure, lack of results, or other setbacks, most of these people will abandon their efforts to lose or control their weight.
Here are a few tips and reminders about how to stay on the path and diet correctly.
#1. Too many calories
Calorie consumption is a key factor in weight loss. One must burn more calories than you consume regularly to have any effect. This can be difficult due to liquid calories, snacking, and changes in portion size. It's nearly impossible to track and gauge without looking and checking food labels. The failure can come from people guessing or gauging just how many calories they eat.
Look at food labels for everything you eat or cook with and write it down in a log for a week. It can be very surprising at the resulting number.
#2. Working out: Either not enough or too much
In order to create an adequate calorie burn/deficit to make weight loss successful, one needs to work out the correct amount.
This link will take you to the Mayo Clinic calorie calculator which will give you a rough estimate of how many calories you will need in a day to maintain your current weight. Utilizing this caloric base line number, create an accurate daily calorie goal. It takes a calorie burn of roughly 3,500 calories to lost 1 lb of weight. Thus, if you reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories a day, you can lost about 1 lb a week.
So using my own personal numbers for example: my daily calorie load is 2500 calories. If I eat 2300 calories in the day, then burn of 300 more via exercise, my net daily intake is 2000 creating a deficit of 500 calories.
#3. Toxins in the system
Toxins in our everyday lives, be it in the air, water, or food we eat. Even our daily stress releases free radicals into our systems. All these toxins break down healthy cells, slows down our metabolism, and disrupt our body's natural fat-burning process by blocking our hormone which aid in losing weight (such as testosterone).
Flushing these toxins from our system will not only benefit us in a weight loss manner, but in a better health manner. Our Isagenix system, Cleanse for Life, is designed to safely and effectively rid your body of these toxins.
#4. Not working out correctly
Any activity is good activity. However, when it comes to weight loss, one needs to use more effective types of exercise. Combining cardiovascular and strength training is a fantastic way to shed weight.
Cardio exercises is the most effective type of exercise to burn calories. These calories come from fat NOT from lean muscle tissue. To hit this cardio zone correctly you need to focus on your target heart rate, which is usually between 50 and 85% of your maximum heart rate. How do you find this? Easy, subtract your age from 220. (So using myself as an example, I'm 35. So my max heart rate is 220 - 35 = 185. Thus my cardio zone is 92-154.) Now keeping this number in mind, work out for at least 30 minutes within your target heart rate zone. This will maximize your results!
Strength training is equally as vital to weight loss. Do not assume that this means you have to pump iron, but do some simple strength training will help restore lean muscle tissue. Additionally, muscles burn more calories than fat, which means: the more lean muscle one has in their body, the more efficient one's body will be in burning calories.
#5. Not snacking right
In our battle of the bulge, snacking produces two major goals: first, it helps keep your metabolism up, and second, it keeps you from being hungry throughout the day.
Snacking right involves getting a balance of nutritional groups like carbs AND protein as well as limiting your calories.
Our Isagenix system also has SlimCakes available which are not only delicious but also fit this snacking need perfectly. With 20 grams of carbs, 2 crams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and 90 calories - they curb your hunger all while keeping it a heart and waist healthy snack.
So at the end of the day here, what I'm trying to say here is that, do not give up on your goal of weight loss. No matter how much you want to lose, for what ever reason you want to lose it. Keep your nose heading straight, these 5 tips in mind, and your goals will be met.
Never hesitate to ask questions or concerns with either me or who ever your health care provider is.
