Osteoporosis is a degenerative bone condition that I work to reverse in my patients. Yes, you read that correctly: Reverse!

With the help of cutting-edge equipment, like the bioDensity machine and Power Plate, it is possible (and safe) to improve bone density instead of lose it as we age.

If you're looking to improve bone density, the Program might be the answer for you!

Interested in bone health?

At Pacific Coast Sports Medicine, my colleagues and I have incorporated the bioDensity as part of the OsteoBlast Osteoporosis Prevention and Reversal Program due to its amazing ability to regenerate bone and decrease risk of bone fractures in our osteoporotic patients by simulating high-impact activity in a safe way.

According to a recent study published earlier this year, it also has beneficial effects on control in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Wow! 😃

Here's a snippet of their findings...

"We conclude, that after 6 months of progressive resistance
training, applying the bioDensity™ resistance training
device, we were able to lower fasting plasma glucose and
HbA1c, without any adverse physical effects or injuries in
elderly Type 2 Diabetes patients with elevated HbA1c
(7.5%).

In addition, a secondary beneficial effect was a statistically
significant improvement in the lipid metabolism (HDL, LDL,
TC) in all PRT participants after 6 months of resistance training with [bioDensity]. "

Watching your blood glucose levels? I came across an easy-to-read article on the basics of glycemic index (GI) and a corresponding chart with about 60 foods and their glycemic load.

Hope you find it helpful! 😊🍎

The glycemic index is a value assigned to foods based on how slowly or how quickly those foods cause increases in blood glucose levels. Foods low on the glycemic index (GI) scale tend to release glucose slowly and steadily. Foods high on the glycemic...

Hi everyone! I would to share with you something I've been sharing with my patients who have Arbonne accounts:

One of the best things you can do for your body is to boost your immune system with macro and micro nutrients that help to fight viruses.

THIS IS NOT A CURE FOR COVID-19! CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO CURE FOR COVID-19!

However, per the literature, the healthier you are, the better, and certain nutrients may give your immune system a better chance of managing any virus or other health challenge during this time of high stress and cold weather.

Specific nutrients may include Vitamin C, D, A, E and micronutrients/antioxidants like selenium and zinc.

With two scoops of Arbonne Protein Shake, and 2 scoops of Arbonne’s Multivitamin and Mineral Boost, taken daily, you get a huge amount of immune boosting nutrients, with no gluten, dairy, soy or GMO ingredients to drag the immune system down.

With the Detox Tea, you get herbs to help flush the liver and kidneys.

With the Energy Fizz Sticks, you get energy boosting methylated B vitamins, folate, and antioxidant benefits of green tea.

And since we all know that 80% of the immune system resides in the gut, Arbonne’s Digestion Plus is a no brainer, providing pre-biotics, probiotics, and eleven digestive enzymes to help maintain an healthy microbiome.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I’m always happy to help educate and inform.💕
