You complain about digestive disturbances and chronic fatigue. After your workout you are far from energized – you are even more tired. You feel like you are just not getting enough air, feel weak and experience numbness and tingling in your hands and feet. The worst part, however, is not being able to remember anything and you feel an ongoing anxiety – worrying about the least little thing. Often you even feel depressed, lethargic. You have ruled out all possible pathology as well as hidden food sensitivities, which can mimic many diseases. Your doctor cannot find a thing wrong with you, is recommending anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, and has neglected to check for B12 deficiency.

Let’s start with the rice cereal first.  I like the Healthy Times Rice cereal.  It is organic and they have many different ones to choose from.  There are many different grains to choose from and there is no sugar.

Once you  have your rice cereal, you can mix your rice cereal with either breast milk, formula, regular milk or just water.

Tip: I get many mothers who ask me what to do about their childs constipation.  There are many causes of constipation, but one small change that often helps significantly is to make the rice cereal as runny as possible.  This way they are getting as much water in as possible.  Water is an excellent natural way to help ease your childs bowel movements with out the harsh benefits of laxitives.  Also keep in mind that the Renew Life Flora Baby probiotics are preventing your child from digestive complaints and constipation and the fish oil from Barlean’s will also be preventing constipation as well.

The rest is easy!  Now that you have your rice cereal mixed, simply add just a pinch of Sequel Naturals ChlorEssence.  This one you want to be very careful.  While chlorella is wonderful and is full of nourishment, a baby just needs a pinch.  Natural is good, but too much natural is not better.  Then you add in a pinch of colostrum.  This will help your baby continue to build a strong immune system, maintain healthy skin avoiding eczema and other annoying skin conditions.  Then add in a pinch of Renew Life Flora Baby probiotics.  Remember PRO Biotics are the opposite of ANTI Biotics.  The antibiotics that doctors give out are the absolute last resort when your body is not able to fight off the bacteria that is creating an illness in your body.  To prevent having to ever take antibiotics in the first place, take the healthy bacteria that helps keep your body in balance and that is the PRO Biotics GOOD bacteria.  This is what is goinh to build your babies foundation.  Probiotics are lining the digestive tract and the stomach making their little bodies strong to fend off invaders that they pick up from other kids at day care or school.  Next you put in the yummy Barlean’s Omega Swirl fish oil.  This is the icing on the cake.  Again there is NO sugar in these fish oils.  Fish oils are so important for health cognitive development, to prevent constipation, for happy moods, to prevent ADHD and to keep healthy soft skin.  Fish oils are all about reducing inflammation.

Rice Cereal Recipe For Your Baby 6months to 1 year:

• Health Times Rice Cereal
• Add desired amount of either, water, milk, breast milk or formula
• Pinch of Sequel Naturals ChlorEssence
• Pinch of Sequel Naturals Colostrum
• Pinch of Renew Life Flora Baby Probiotics
• Half a teaspoon of Barlean’s Omega Swirls Fish oil

Generally speaking it is suggested that solids should be introduced at 6 months and there after.  The reason for not introducing earlier is due to the fact that most babies have not developed all of their digestive enzymes to break down solids porperly.  However, you should talk to your health care practitioner.  Sometimes babies are put on solids earlier because they are under weight or for other reasons.

After your baby is one year old you can begin to up the doses.  Follow the instructions on the product.  Also, some of the products are not specifically for babies and therefore there is nothing written on the label for dosages.  This is because  health Canada has not approved the product for infants.  That is why again it is best to talk to your health care practitioner before introducing these sorts of things.  Be an informed parent.  Not all supplements are good.  Not all brands are the best for your baby.  It is important to be informed ask questions and know what you are putting in your babies little body.

FloraBABY is a blend of probiotics (good bacteria) that is specifically formulated for the intestinal tract and colon of children. It is a no flavour powder which can easily be mixed into warm or cool drinks such as infant formula, water, juice and milk, or soft foods such as yogurt and apple sauce. This allows parents to provide probiotics to children who do not like or have a difficult time taking supplements. Please note that it should not be mixed with hot liquids or hot foods.

FloraBABY is a blend of 5 strains of probiotics normally found in children: Bifidobacterium Breve, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Bifidobacterium Infantis and Bifidobacterium Longum. These 5 probiotics work synergistically to help ensure a healthy microbacterial environment in the intestinal tract of children.

The term ‘probiotic’ means supporting life. Probiotics are friendly, beneficial bacteria. These bacteria are normal inhabitants of the large and small intestines and are an important part of a healthy digestive system. Recent research shows that probiotics help improve gastrointestinal function, respiratory and allergy response, as well as help to counter the negative effects of antibiotic use. Further, these beneficial bacteria help the body to 1) produce vitamins, 2) absorb nutrients, and 3) control overgrowth of bad bacteria and fungus.

Green Coffee Bean Extract Highlights:

Green Coffee Bean Extract

• Green coffee bean extract refers to coffee in its rawest, purest form. The unroasted seeds, or beans, of coffea fruits may slow glucose absorption and stop fat from accumulating all over your body.
• In a new study, participants who took the supplement did not exercise nor did they change their diet, yet they lost over 10% of their body weight on average and 17 pounds in 22 weeks.

Simply Trim by Renew Life contains Green Coffee Bean Extract and it is of excellent quality with no binders or fillers.

Non-medicinal ingredients : Vegetable capsules (Hypromellose, water) Excipients: None

On the label you will see Svetol® which is a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract rich in a health-promoting antioxidant called chlorogenic acid. It is one of the few weight loss products backed by scientific research.  The chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol that is important for plant metabolism which has the same effect on humans.  It speeds up the metabolism by slowing down the release of glucose into the blood.  When this happens the body uses fat cells for energy instead of sugar.

Research also shows that Svetol® will reduce the size of fat cells within our adipose tissue. This positively changes body composition and metabolism by increasing the muscle-to-fat ratio.

Study using Simply Trim

A double blind clinical study of 50 subjects showed the following: After 8 weeks of consuming either 400 mg of Svetol® or a placebo with no change to diet and exercise habits, the Svetol® group showed a reduction of body weight of 5.7% or an average weight loss of 11 lbs. This is twice as much as the placebo group. Perhaps even more exciting is that the Svetol® group showed an increase in lean to fat mass ratio of 4%. Lean body mass is what determines your basal metabolic rate, so an increase in lean muscle mass corresponds to an increase in metabolism. SIMPLY TRIM delivers 400 mg of Svetol®, the therapeutic dosage.

Sluggish E-Type:

 Lastly we have the sluggish energy type. Which is described as:

• Tired all of the time
• Gain weight everywhere
• And Sensitive to temperature

What are we talking about here? Dr. Oz is talking about a sluggish underactive thyroid.  Your thyroid gland is responsible for keeping you in balance as it is making hormones for you as well.  Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s product called Thyroid Smart is your answer to getting rid of cold hands and feet as well as unexplained weight gain.  Ladies, it is important to KNOW YOUR NUMBERS!! Do not be shy, when you get your blood work done, check off the box so that you can get a copy of your numbers.  You should always know you cholesterol and your thyroid.

Below is an important message by Lorna Vanderhaeghe:

Low Thyroid? by Lorna Vanderhaeghe
If you have the following symptoms low thyroid may be your problem:     

• Thinning hair
• Dry skin
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Sensitivity to cold
• Menstrual problems
• Fatigue or lethargy
• Headaches

Hypothyroid or low thyroid hormone is very common in Canada, affecting approximately 20-25 percent of the female population and about 10 percent of males. An additional 20 percent may also have subclinical or mild hypothyroidism whereby their TSH is within normal range. The thyroid secretes two hormones T3 and T4 that are crucial for controlling our metabolism. Because they affect every cell in the body, a deficiency will result in many symptoms including those mentioned above.
Severe hypothyroidism, confirmed by a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, requires the use of thyroid medication. But if you have mild or subclinical low thyroid, where your TSH is greater than 2.0 IU/ml but less than the 5.5 IU/ml level indicative of hypothyroidism, the nutrients found in THYROSMART may help. Or, if you have been on thyroid medication for a while and you still have symptoms you may not be converting your thyroid hormones very well. THYROSMART may also help correct this.
