“No,”…I Don’t Use “Fat-Burners,” etc…

Written by on

People often ask me if I use “fat-burners.”

In fact, a great many in the fitness community contact me with the assumption that I use them, simply as a matter of course, as if they’re a built-in part of what I do to look the way I do.

I most definitely do NOT use any of those kinds of supplements, and would not use them.

The answer as to “why” is easy…

They provide only temporary results, are often filled with things I would never put in my body to begin with, and therefore defeat the whole point of what I promote and why.

I’m not saying that some supplements aren’t beneficial, perhaps on an on-going basis, for certain types of people’s needs.

Not at all.

I use a bunch of different supplements myself.

But the difference is, the supplements I use are designed to be health-enhancing first and foremost, over simply taking something akin to a drug, to produce short-term results that do not enhance my overall health, and may in fact work against my metabolism, endocrine function, or blood sugar levels.

Once a person starts to get older, perhaps closer to middle age, certain supplements can and do assist with fat and weight loss efforts.  But the only ones I encourage people to experiment with are those that are often close to actual whole-food-type suggestions…ingredients derived from foods…so that the body recognizes them more as an asset to the efforts, as compared to an ingredient that is *forcing* the body to do something that goes against its current grain.

There are things we can try in this regard, and I’ll cover them in my over 40 program which is pending soon as an extension to my FLFL program found at the Home tab above. 

By staying with whole food options and naturally derived ingredients, we give our bodies the chance to utilize additional nutrition that can sustain, maintain and enhance the overall system, as compared to using essentially drugs, to force the body to alter itself instead.

I believe this approach affords us much longer-term results, and I like to think I prove that with my online presence over the years.

When Supplements Don’t Help Joint Issues:

Written by on

If you’re struggling with joint or tendon issues, and you’ve tried vitamin D3, the MSM’s and other joint formulas, and the fish oils and fatty acids, but relief is not being had…it’s time to explore the pathogen issue.

It is suspected that joint issues can have a bacterial, viral, or especially fungal origin, the latter of which I have made a huge focus on in my work because of the results I’ve seen anti-fungal programs have on countless people suffering from various “unknowns” that their doctors can’t or won’t help them with. 

You can see my other posts and materials as to why doctors “can’t” or “won’t.”

Theoretically, the problem could boil down to either a nanobacteria (which essentially amounts to what doctors would call a “calcification,” “spur,” etc. issue, or, a fungal, yeast/candida problem) or a fungus issue, also known as a systemic yeast or candida infection that has become localized to the joints and/or other areas.

It is a shame…a disgusting shame…that it has taken this long in our history of supposedly advanced medical technology to acknowledge the idea that fungus could be a core problem in “age-related” aches and pains, among a host of other illnesses, diseases and discomforts.

But more and more, this movement focusing on candida and fungus as a cause is gaining momentum.  Alternative practitioners, and their patients using natural anti-fungal protocols, the technology of which has grown by leaps and bounds in just the past five years, are getting results and relief for all sorts of ailments. 

The focus on fungus, and toxins that both contribute to fungus as well as result from fungal infections, is helping people get well.

If you are taking supplements for any kind of joint issues, consider that there may be embedded “bugs” in your joints that with an alteration of diet, and an anti-fungal program, results can begin to be had in as little as a couple days, even from long-standing issues.

I am living proof of this.

After months worth of spreading tendonitis and joint pains, relief came once I hit it from a fungal infection standpoint.

It’s not exactly easy…but it’s not terribly hard either.  The diet changes can be a bit vigorous, but I have found other alternatives as well that help make the transition easier, via a multi-angled attack on the fungus, so that it does not have hardly any opportunity to adapt.

And the good news is, compared to anti-fungal drugs…nature adapts to fungus adapting…and nature provides solutions, as do safe alternative technologies, to managing and even eliminating the condition.
