What is – Who is B.O.B?

Posted on by
2
Some people call “it” B.O.B., “Belly Over Belt.” Others call it “Muffin Top.” One thing is for sure — there’s nothing cute or fun about Toxic Belly Fat.
Toxic Belly Fat is a culprit in many of our lifestyle dis-eases including fatigue. It shows up in acid reflux, sleeping disorders including sleep apnea, migraine head-aches, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Do you, or does someone you love, have it?

How to identify Belly Fat Syndrome:

  • 1. Measurements matter. Use a measuring tape to measure the belly in question … If you are a woman with a waistline (measured across the belly button) of more than 35 inches pay attention. If you are a man with a waistline of more than 40 inches – ditto.
  • 2. Do you have one or more of these abnormalities: High blood sugar; High triglycerides; Low HDL; High LDL and/or high blood pressure?
  • 3. You are at HIGH risk of Toxic Belly Fat Syndrome if you have two of more of these abnormalities and a super-sized belly.

Now what?

Poll Results — When Are You Most Tired?

Posted on by

TGIF! Now, about those “When Are You Most Tired Poll” results I keep forgetting to post … Thanks Kim for bringing that to my attention. Sorry.

First of all, pretend you are a scientist. Use this information as part of your process of elimination not instead of consulting your doctor. Your sleuthing + Your Doc’s Expertise is vital to helping you get your groove back!

Now, roll-of-drums, here are the results of our poll

****************

If you are most tired between 7 a.m. – 10 a.m. Could be Allergies.

Run a food journal for at least a week. Notice & note how you feel after you eat. For example, I tend to fall asleep within 20 minutes of a bowl of ice cream. My eyes start to water within ten minutes of eating a GIANT Chocolate Donut. My girlfriend Kelley watched this happen and told me to never eat another one of those fatigue pills!

****************

If you are most tired between 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Could be Borderline Anemia

Run a food journal for at least a week while naturally increasing your iron absorption. How?

Heat and eat acidic foods like tomatoes, apples & lemons, in a cast iron skillet to boost the amount of iron you absorb. Combine iron rich foods with high acid foods to boost your iron absorption. Examples: beans and tomato sauce or cereal and strawberries.

You can also add an iron pill with a chaser of lemon juice or water. Do not take an iron pill without the chaser as it is hard on the liver.

If you notice an improvement you are on the right path. Keep it up!

******************

If you are most tired between 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Could be Adrenal Fatigue

Run a sleep journal for at least a week. Go to sleep before 10 p.m. and stay in bed until 9 a.m. whenever possible. Turn off the TV, Computer & Cell Phones by 8 p.m. If shutting down, getting to sleep, staying asleep and getting up in the morning are difficult tasks … you may be among the 80% of American Women who will suffer from Adrenal Fatigue at some point in their lives… Find out more about Adrenal Fatigue and what you can do …

**************************

If you are most tired between 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. Could be Toxin Overload

Eliminate worn out plastic containers – if they are scratched or blistered, they are worn! Rinse produce well. (I soak mine in water plus a splash of bleach for ten minutes, rinse and soak is fresh water for ten minutes.) Clean out under your bathroom sinks and kitchen sink with a mixture of bleach & water.

Again, notice and note how you feel …

**************************

If you are most tired All-Day-Long

Could be Functional Hypothyroidism, Wilson’s Syndrome, Candidiasis, Dehydration, Anxiety, Migraine or Depression.

My own experience with fatigue is that a number of hidden fatigues will gang up. I had adrenal fatigue Plus borderline anemia Plus Candidiasis plus anxiety plus dehydration … the food journal and sleep journal was a critical tool to help me identify and peal them back my fatigue causes, one at a time.

It takes time to wear ourselves down (years) and it is pretty amazing how our bodies can turn that around in weeks or months if we get ourselves on the right path and chip away …. May I suggest that you treat yourself to a copy of the Fatigue Be Gone Jumpstart e-Guide?

Do you have a type “A” personality? Do you feel that you never do enough although everyone tells you to slow down and smell the roses? Do you eat a poor diet, have too much stress or get inadequate sleep? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be suffering from adrenal fatigue.

Research shows that nearly 80 percent of Americans suffer from adrenal fatigue. Yes, you read that right – an astounding 80 percent of the U.S. population is affected by adrenal fatigue syndrome.
