What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition that means your bones are weak, and you're more likely to break a bone. Since there are no symptoms, you might not know your bones are getting weaker until you break a bone!
A broken bone can really affect a woman's life. It can cause disability, pain, or loss of independence. It can make it harder to do daily activities without help, such as walking. This can make it hard to participate in social activities. It can also cause severe back pain and deformity.
What bones does osteoporosis affect?
Osteoporosis is due to gradual loss of bone mass. It leaves our bones porous and fragile and subject to increased risk of fractures. It can also lead to disfigurement of the back. A major cause of osteoporosis is reduced levels of estrogen. Osteoporosis is easier to prevent than treat. Weight bearing exercise and getting enough calcium and Vitamin D can help reduce the risk. Hormone balancing before, during and after menopause can also help prevent bone loss and maintain bone health.
Joint pain.
Aging and lack of lubrication in the joints may make you feel achy. This is also a time of life when some women develop osteoporosis, an inflammation of the joints.
What you can do. Exercise! To keep all systems working smoothly, it's important to move every day. Swimming and yoga are both great types of exercise for achy joints. Treat yourself to a massage or get a loved one to do it every once in a while.
Loss of bone density.
Estrogen helps to remodel bone so that new cells replace old ones and bones remain strong and dense. During and after menopause, there is less bone turnover, which means that bones may become brittle and can break more easily.
What you can do: Take a daily calcium supplement. The recommended daily intake is 1000 mg, but most women after menopause require 1200 mg to 1500 mg of calcium each day. Your healthcare provider may recommend a bone density scan (a non-invasive test that gauges how much bone you may have lost and how likely it is to fracture). If you do have low bone density, your healthcare provider may prescribe treatment. And exercise is vital to keeping bones strong!
Osteoporosis can happen to any of your bones, but is most common in the hip, wrist, and in your spine, also called your vertebrae. Vertebrae are important because these bones support your body to stand and sit upright.
Osteoporosis in the vertebrae can cause serious problems for women. A fracture in this area occurs from day-to-day activities like climbing stairs, lifting objects, or bending forward.
- Sloping shoulders
- Curve in the back
- Height loss
- Back pain
- Hunched posture
- Protruding abdomen
What things cause me to have a higher chance of getting osteoporosis?
Things that can increase your chances of developing osteoporosis include:
- being female
- small, thin body (under 127 pounds)
- family history of osteoporosis
- being postmenopausal or of an advanced age
- Caucasian or Asian race, but African American and Hispanic women
also at significant risk for developing the disease
- abnormal absence of menstrual periods or having an eating disorder,
such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia that can cause menstrual periods to
stop before menopause, and loss of bone tissue from too much
exercise
- a diet low in dairy products or other sources of calcium and vitamin D
- inactive lifestyle
- long-term use of medicines prescribed for many diseases, including
arthritis, asthma, and lupus, anti-seizure medications; gonadotropin
releasing hormone for treatment of endometriosis; aluminum-containing
antacids; certain cancer treatments; and excessive thyroid hormone
- cigarette smoking and drinking too much alcohol
How can I find out if I have weak bones?
There are tests you can get to find out your bone strength, also called bone density. There are also other types of bone strength tests too. Talk with your doctor or nurse about which type of test is best for you.
If you weigh less than 154 pounds, and don't take estrogen, get a bone density test. Don't wait until age 65. You have a higher chance for breaks.

Do you think burning off 3,500 calories per day will mean that you lose a pound of fat?
Actually, calories can come from a variety of sources. There are calories that come from fat, protein, carbohydrates and alcohol. If you can burn off 3,500 calories in some form of exercise, there is no guarantee you will be burning 100% calories from fat. In fact, most of the time you are burning calories from sugar or carbohydrates because they are the easiest and most accessible types of fuel in your body. Your liver holds glycogen stores for just the kind of need that exercise requires. Therefore, the best way to eliminate body fat is for your body to want to release it. That is why diet is 80 to 85% of a weight management program! Exercise is a part of the equation too; however, it should be in balance by doing it daily, not too rigorous, not too fast or not too slow.

How do you choose the dietary supplements?
Health and Wellness
What does health really mean? What does wellness really mean? What is the motivation to have health?
We don’t think about health until we don’t have it. Is health the absence of a sickness or a disease name? Or do you even fall in to the parameters to have a health care professional label you with a disease name?
You have health when your organ systems are healthy. They can only be healthy when the tissues that make them up are healthy. The cellular molecular structures that make up the organs ultimately make up you! It’s a renewing process.
To have vibrant health and wellness is to supply the ingredients that the body uses to create those cells and molecules. A deficiency in cell structure someplace in the body creates a deficiency of function.
Health is the optimization of those structures. Create cells to create the tissues and support the organs optimally and support the body functions optimally.
Health Cells = Healthy Bodies
The body is designed to heal itself
Every cell in your body requires nutrition
Cells, tissue and organs require nutrition
Your body is an organic machine. Maintain it properly. Give it the best fuel through your daily diet.
Dietary Supplementation
Think about how the body works. It has everything it requires; however, the body needs the cells to perform their certain function. Each cell in order to perform their function they were designed to perform must have the right fuel.
The right fuel is:
Certain vitamins and minerals to feed the cells
Plant sterols to balance the hormonal function
Glyconutrients to have the cells communicate with each other
Antioxidants to protect the cells from the ravages of free radicals
Fatty Acids support brain and heart health. Cannot be made by the body and must be obtained through the diet
Experts say our diet probably doesn’t provide what it needs to stay healthy or to fix itself.
It is imperative that we make wise choices at this time.
There are dietary supplements on the market that are beneficial. Each and every company that offers them has good beneficial products available to choose from.
Example: A man goes to his favorite health and nutrition store and asks the clerk what do they have for prostate health? The answer usually is saw palmetto. Is this really vital or beneficial? Did he develop prostate problems because of a lack of saw palmetto in his diet? Will it prevent or aid in supporting prostate health with a dinner salad of saw palmetto?
How do you choose the correct ones that are really vital for the cells to perform their function they were designed to perform?
How do you choose the dietary supplements?
People are looking at the ones:
• that are safe
• they want them to be effective (vital vs. beneficial)
• they want the highest possible quality.
The ones I use in my practice can give you all three. Why?
We know that what you swallow is safe, and effective and clean. We know it’s the best quality.
We know it the best buy because you are getting vital nutrients not just beneficial nutrients.
Going back to the concept of our ancestral diet compared to the diet today. Our bodies were designed to eat natural foods. Not synthetic foods, not manipulated foods but natural foods.
Today if you went out hunting with a natural hunter they couldn’t find any cupcake bushes. There would be no French fry trees. Their eating things that is natural. What the body was designed to eat. Not the modern diet.
The modern diet allows us to accumulate too much fat and it makes our health risk increase for that. So, what do we do?
Well if you’re not getting what the cells require in your diet there is only one wise solution. A dietary supplement! And it better be the best dietary supplement for your needs.
The Core 5 from Plus Wellness has it all. I know there are over 4000 companies. They all claim to be the best. The question is who can prove it. When you’re pushed and they say to you; you have to have evidence. Well we do. Do others? I feel confident any of those companies who can prove to me they have what they say have then I’ll talk about them too.
They never take me up on it. Because they can’t! They also have to back up what they have. 100% satisfaction guarantee! A six month satisfaction guarantee! We are confident wellness will improve. Clients feel great and they do not want to give up on the products.
They also have NSF certification. Everything is in there as exactly as they say. Some companies don’t go for the NSF rating.
If you are looking to have true vibrant health dietary supplements fill the gap where nutrition is missing from it.
One way or another, our cells need it.
Why the ones we recommend? Why not this company or that company. We have proven effective results. What most companies do is they will site a scientific study on an ingredient that they have in a product. It doesn’t say there are any studies on their product.
It doesn’t say there are any studies on the ingredient that were placed in their product. Not even studies in general on the product. It costs money to do scientific study to research. The vital supplements from the company we use have spent over 20 million in the last 5 years proving and validating what they have. They just don’t talk about it. They do have cutting edge technology and they can validate it. ? Patents filed are “Composition of Matter” patents, instead of simple usage patents.
What about natural ingredients. The majority of dietary supplements are made with synthetics. All of ours are gluten free. Many are suitable for vegetarians. B vitamin in most every vitamin supplement sold is made from petroleum distillates. Does that sound nourishing? Is it normal for scientists to move molecules to make manipulated synthetics?
This is the reason disease still increases when using supplements. Guess why! It has to be made for the body to use in a food form not synthetic. Just cause it says the ingredients are there doesn’t mean they will work in the body.
You want your ingredients extracted from food to be put into your supplements. We use science to do the research and science to validate it.
The foundation for every wellness program all the time think of nutrition as it was medicine. Like a person will say I have Congas of the Bongas (I just made up this disease. I don’t want to say any disease)! What should I take?
There are no dietary supplements for Congas of the Bongas or any other disease. Vitamins and minerals, and herbals, and phytosterols, and antioxidants, and glyconutrients those things don’t cure disease or treat disease. They feed the cells of your body. Your body does what it is supposed to do if it said what it needs.
The foundation for your wellness program every client should start with our Core 5. Why do we have the Core 5? The Core 5 is the combination that you need to supplement to cover your basic ability to build a strong foundation for your wellness program.
The basis of that for everybody in my opinion is going to be glyconutrients, phytosterols, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids.
Glyconutrients:
• Support the immune system
• Support the digestive tract
• Support cognitive function and brain function
• Enhance moods
• Cell to cell communication
We don’t talk. We prove with studies.
70% of your immune system is in your digestive tract. How many products do you know that can do that all in one? But there’s more! There is another component that is unique. Glyconutrients, when they combine with amino acids they form glycol proteins.
These are for the correct functions of your cells. Your body needs vitamins and minerals to feed the cells, phytosterols to balance the cells, antioxidants to protect the cells and glyconutrients for the cells to communicate with each other.
That’s all you need. In order to have proper function of your cells we also have to have the correct compliment of glycoproteins for those cells. Do other supplements do that? What! What foundation?
I don’t care what kind of vitamin and mineral, what kind of phytosterol, who the company is, what the claims are. You have to start with a basic foundation. That basic foundation is with glycoproteins. The glycoproteins cannot be made without glyconutrients (Not just one or two or three glyconutrients. You need all 8 of them which are available in a patented complex).
Remember the ancestral diet and the modern diet. You have to ask yourself the question. Am I getting the glyconutrients from my diet that I need every day? The answer is probably going to be no. We already know only about 11% of the population are eating the minimum level of fruits and vegetables.
And as far as it improves brain function wow! I know a bunch of people who could benefit from that. This third party clinical trial showed improvement in brain wave frequency and mental reaction time. It also improved concentration, memory, moods and decreases irritability. These are important. And we are still only talking about one product! With all those things and all those benefits we’re still only talking about one product.
The importance of supporting the digestive tract! 70% of the body’s total immune system is in your digestive tract.
This technology with all the other companies they say! We have glyconutrients too. Do you have the complex? Well No. But we do have glyconutrients. My body wants the complex. I don’t want one glyconutrient. I don’t want two glyconutrients. I want them all (8). That’s what my body wants. The body has a built in menu and if it could only order and feed it.
What about antioxidants? The way they rate antioxidants is interesting. Antioxidants can help you to prevent the harmful effects of free radicals from chemicals and pollutants in the environment.
Your body also makes free radicals and your body needs a certain amount of them. If a free radical receives an extra electron it is no longer harmful for your body. It is actually beneficial to your body if it receives that extra electron. Where does it get the extra electron from? Antioxidants!
Let’s talk about validation. Free radicals cause a lot of damage to your cells. They can damage the DNA in your body. They are the cause of premature aging.
Do you want to test a product in a tube or in a human? I want it tested in blood. I don’t care what the test tube says. I don’t care about any laboratory mumble jumble. I want to know what it is going to do in me.
Some companies out there only sell antioxidants. USDA did a test rating what’s out there on the market for antioxidant protection. The ratings showed many leading companies with no detectable levels of protection. Some call it a salad bowl of antioxidants. It was rated in a test tube not in a human. The ratings are meaningless. What does it mean in human blood? They didn’t test it.
They found the highest level to be our antioxidant. It has the science and it has the validation. We know this synergistic blend does deliver.
USDA did a test rating the benefit from eating today’s diet of fruits and vegetables. They state that we should be eating at least five serving of fruits and vegetables every day. With that you can receive 13% antioxidant protection.
With two of our antioxidant daily supplements you will receive 37.4% antioxidant protection. This is Three times more than just eating 5 – 7 servings of fruits and vegetables.
Do you eat 5 – 7 servings every day? Are you one of the proactive 11% who are even doing this at all? What about the other 89%?
Let’s talk about the support for your endocrine system. Your glandular system! Well what does it do? It makes hormones! So what this mean it affects your mood, growth and development, tissue function, reproductive processes all dependent on what is called phytosterols. Futon means plant. Plant sterols! Plants have them and we’re supposed to eat them.
That’s why we’re supposed to eat 5-6 servings of fruits and vegetables every day like peaches and cherries and all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Carrots! Carrots are what you should be eating. The nutrition you should be getting.
Are you getting this nutrition every day in your diet? Maybe not! If you’re not you better supplement. Our hormone balancer Plus supports the endocrine system. It also supports breast health, prostate health, bone health, and colon health all in one product. People who take it say they feel good. Not making it just through the day but feel good every day.
Also a group of amino acids in Plus can support not just the immune system but the nervous system and the cardiovascular system.
What makes a multi-vitamin? What makes it great? Well everybody’s got one. They all claim to be the best. Some are marketed so well that everyone thinks they are the best. They are so well known.
I would submit to you that something well known isn’t necessarily valid as the best scientifically. Telling you today I am the advertiser so we share results not advertising claims.
If you need to have a really great vitamin and mineral product it needs to be natural because your body was designed to consume natural. You are an organic organism. You were designed to consume natural things. Not synthetic things. Plant nutrients! Why should you eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, radishes and onions? You should eat them for the phytonutrients in them. Are you eating all these things every day? Most people aren’t.
Another thing is that when you are looking at the nutrients in two tomatoes side by side they may not have the same level of nutrients. Crops vary. Seasons, water, temperature changes, soil. One group may have a certain level of phytonutrients and the other group may have a different level.
You want to have the same exact support in terms of phytonutrients in every supplement you swallow. That means they have to be standardized. That also increases the cost of the product to have the right amount of phytochemicals in each batch. That also makes a better product. Quality! I don’t want to spend half the money amount for a nutrient that does nothing.
I want to spend to get the nutrient I need for my body every day. Validate measure and show.
You may not know this but most minerals you buy in vitamin mineral supplements are actually made from rocks. The majority of calcium supplements the calcium comes from lime stone. How many of you put lime stone on your dinner plate at night? Humans I think were not designed to eat rocks do you think? It is true if you pulverize the rock to a small enough particle size you can actually absorb a small amount of the total. Which is why dieters are told you need 100’s of milligrams of this and a 100’s milligrams of that. You can only absorb a small amount of the total.
But if you get it from plants your body is designed to eat plants. Get the minerals you need from plants! Plants know what to do! Plants can pull rocks and dirt up into the roots and turn it in to a food in their leaves. A plant food matrix! Then we eat that plant. We can eat that plant that has a mineral we can actually absorb. Natural vitamins and minerals! Plant food! Superior!
Because of technology and standardization!
The foundation for your wellness program, not just for your health needs to start with the best quality, supplements that are safe, effective and based on sound scientific research.
The ones I use in my practice can give you all three. Why? They are just not cutting edge. They come from:
• state of the art labs
• best formulations
• quality
• safety program requirement
• quality assurance program
• third party testing
We know that what you swallow is safe, and effective and clean. We know it’s the best quality.
We know it the best buy because you are getting vital nutrients for the same cost as you would spend on just a beneficial nutrient.
There is another component to wellness. How much body fat are you carrying around? We will discuss that next time!

It is true if you pulverize the rock to a small enough particle size you can actually absorb a small amount of the total. Which is why dieters are told you need 100’s of milligrams of this and a 100’s milligrams of that. You can only absorb a small amount of the total.
But if you get it from plants your body is designed to eat plants. Get the minerals you need from plants! Plants know what to do! Plants can pull rocks and dirt up into the roots and turn it in to a food in their leaves. A plant food matrix! Then we eat that plant. We can eat that plant that has a mineral we can actually absorb. Natural vitamins and minerals! Plant food! Superior!
Because of technology and standardization!
The foundation for your wellness program, not just for your health needs to start with the best quality, supplements that are safe, effective and based on sound scientific research.
The ones I use in my practice can give you all three. Why? They are just not cutting edge. They come from:
• state of the art labs
• best formulations
• quality
• safety program requirement
• quality assurance program
• third party testing
We know that what you swallow is safe, and effective and clean. We know it’s the best quality.
We know it the best buy because you are getting vital nutrients for the same cost as you would spend on just a beneficial nutrient.
There is another component to wellness. How much body fat are you carrying around? We will discuss that next time!

Our FREE Wellness Gift to You...
Information That Can Dramatically
Improve Your Health
Have you ever wondered what it takes to live a long, healthy life free from the devastation of illness and disease?
Maybe you've never really thought about it. After all, getting sick is a normal part of life as we get older, right?
What I'd like to share with you is the information that gave our clients and me vibrant wellness. We are grateful that somebody cared enough to share this with us!
In fact, this information hasn't just helped me; it's helped thousands of others get their lives back, too.
Regardless of how healthy you think you are, you've got to at least be aware of this information. Don't wait to face your own crisis and then wonder what happened...get the facts now!
• What nutrients your body absolutely needs in order to be healthy (not getting them is like not changing your car's oil...you know it's going to break down, you just don't know exactly when)
• why you might not be getting the nutrients you think you are in your diet
• why you might not be getting the nutrients you think you are in just beneficial supplements
• a recently discovered category of essential nutrients (i.e. your body needs them to function properly) that you're probably not getting enough of.
Good health means how to feel really good.
Health is the absence of disease. That is a good thing but is that enough? Are you ready to settle for just feeling OK? I’m not!
I know what I have to do. Feel vibrantly healthy! Feeling well! Wellness! You need to be a wellness champion. To be proactive in your wellness every day!
It’s really tough to be well today. This time and the place we live in are not the time and place of our grandparents or of our distant ancestors. Our world is polluted but people don’t know exactly how bad it is.
Many people don’t know how that is really affecting them individually and how they feel. I guess I don’t feel well today because I’m getting older. Nonsense! You can feel vibrantly healthy everyday but you have to compensate for the changes.
Our diets have changed too. The modern diet is not like our ancestral diet. It’s very different. We now have a diet that is convenient, tasty, and high in calories and lots of other junk but low in nutrition by weight. It’s really changed.
Pollutants have caused a lot of stress on our bodies and will continue to cause oxidative stress on our body and on our immune system. There are tens of thousands of chemicals all over the planet and are hazardous to your health. You’re under that stress regardless of where you live. You need to compensate for the change.
If I don’t have any symptoms of illness and I have energy I must be well. No! Not necessarily! A doctor associate one time told me the only way to be sure you are healthy is to have an autopsy.
You need to be eating the right foods. The foods your body was designed to eat. There are all kinds of food you should be eating that are necessary for wellness.
Vitamins and minerals
Chemicals from plants called plant sterols
Phytochemicals
A unique category of carbohydrates called glyconutrients necessary for wellness. Not only can you supercharge your immune and digestive systems you can also maximize concentration and improve your mood and memory. Our ancestral diet was abundant in these carbohydrates. We are missing or not receiving about 75% of these from our modern diet.
Antioxidant protection from free radicals
Fatty acids
The modern diet is not providing proper nutrition to the body. We need to eat the minimum RDA of fruits and vegetables (5 - 7 servings of fruits and vegetables). Do you get the required nutrients you need in your daily diet? With poor farming methods and the distance the food travels to where you buy them (average 1500 miles) do you think you are getting your daily nutrients?
11% of Americans get the bare minimum they should be eating daily in the terms of fruits and vegetables. Let’s say you are part of the 11% making the right choices every day. And you think you are doing the right thing. You had your 5 - 7 servings of fruits and vegetables. I got all I need following the government guide lines. Do you know that you actually got what you need?
Today it takes 10 oranges to get the nutrition required compared to 1 orange in the 50’s.
It takes 53 peaches to get the nutrition required compared to 1 peach in the 50’s.
Even the 11% are not getting the required RDA. Guess what the other 89% are getting?
Think you need to supplement your diet? They’re not a luxury! Just understand the conditions of the food chain of the 21st Century.
Right now we are in an epidemic of people being overweight. Why?
Choosing the wrong foods! Foods we eat are high in calories and low in nutritional value by weight.
We also are in to low fat dieting. These foods are low fat and low cholesterol and should be the correct way to eat. To do that company’s started to manipulate natural molecules to taste better even though the fat had been removed. These foods were made to say on the label low fat and low cholesterol. To make them taste better even though the fat and cholesterol had been removed. Thus, they didn’t make the food healthier. They sold better.
Are we getting thinner as a Nation? No! This is the proof of pre-packaged low fat foods. Every year as a group our population is getting fatter. People are desperate for answers. Our health care costs are going up. Why? Because our population is getting less healthy every year! It’s driving the cost up. Our population isn’t healthy. If what we are doing is correct we should be getting thinner as a Nation.
We are driving the cost of health care through the roof. We can get health care costs under control by getting on the right track to wellness. If people are well those costs will go down. Every thing will get better.
In Summary
The world we live in is not like the on our grandparents lived in
Pollution is getting worse
Dietary choices are not the best
We are getting fatter
Health care costs are going up
Health Cells = Healthy Bodies
The body is designed to heal itself
Every cell in your body requires nutrition
Cells, tissue and organs require nutrition
Your body is an organic machine. Maintain it properly. Give it the best fuel through your daily diet.
Dietary Supplementation
Think about how the body works. It has everything it requires. Each cell is made to perform their certain function. Each cell in order to perform their function they were designed to perform must have the right fuel.
The right fuel is:
Certain vitamins and minerals to feed the cells
Plant sterols to balance the hormonal function
Glyconutrients to have the cells to communicate with each other
Antioxidants to protect the cells from the ravages of free radicals
Experts say our diet probably doesn’t provide what it needs to stay healthy or to fix itself.
It is imperative that we make wise choices at this time.
There are dietary supplements on the market that are beneficial. Each and every company that offers them has good beneficial products available to choose from.
How do you choose the correct ones that are really vital for the cells to perform their function they were designed to perform?
The ones that are missing from your diet!
Next time we will discuss vital vs. beneficial and wise supplementation. What will my body benefit versus what I have to pay to really benefit my cells to have wellness?
