A New Weight Loss Formula!

Weight Loss Formula 2 (Herbal Tincture)

This is my second weight loss formula, with some different and additional ingredients. This weight loss formula 2 (herbal tincture) is made from high quality herbs and ingredients -- some of which may have grown in my garden! Many people have a difficult time losing weight no matter what they try. That is so frustrating! These ingredients I have chosen help in individual ways, and I hope they work for you, too!

Here are the ingredients in this formula:

Garcinia Cambogia:  Studies of garcinia cambogia have shown that it significantly lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increases beneficial HDL cholesterol and urinary fat metabolites (markers of fat oxidation). It lowers leptin, therefore decreasing appetite and it promotes a release of serotonin in the brain which supports healthy weight control. Garcinia cambogia also improves melatonin metabolism and increases energy stores in the liver and other tissues, thereby improving energy and reducing appetite. It reduces insulin resistance. Great for weight loss support.

Ceylon Cinnamon: Cinnamon has been shown to reduce some of the bad effects of eating high-fat foods. This can help in an overall weight loss plan. Its effect on blood glucose levels can also help your body ultimately lose weight. Scientists report that cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the accumulation of white fat in adipose tissue, the kind that "pads" your body.

Gymnema Sylvestre: This reduces blood sugar levels. So if you are hypoglycemic, you will want to avoid this formula. (I always err on the side of caution when it comes to customers. I want you to be safe, first and foremost!!) If you are diabetic, this is still safe to take, but just monitor your blood glucose levels as you normally would. In fact, in India this herb is used specifically for diabetes. Gymnema’s role in insulin secretion and cell regeneration may also contribute to its blood-sugar-lowering capabilities. Higher insulin levels mean that sugar is cleared from your blood at a faster rate. If you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, your body tends to not make enough insulin, or your cells become less sensitive to it over time. This results in consistently high blood sugar levels. Gymnema sylvestre may stimulate insulin production in your pancreas, promoting the regeneration of insulin-producing islet cells. This can help lower your blood sugar levels

By blocking sweet receptors on your taste buds, Gymnema sylvestre may cause you to eat fewer sweet foods and consume fewer calories.

Coleus Forskohlii: coleus forskohlii is used to treat allergies, skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, obesity, painful menstrual periods, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), urinary tract infections (UTI), bladder infections, advanced cancer, blood clots, sexual problems in men, trouble sleeping (insomnia), and convulsions. Coleus aids weight loss by helping create enzymes called lipase and adenylate cyclase.

Phellodendron: When Phellodendron amurense is combined with other herbs such as magnolia, it has been found to help promote weight loss. When combined with magnolia in particular, Phellodendron amurense was shown to relieve transitory anxiety in premenopausal women and thus reduce stress-associated over-eating. A 2006 study found that Phellodendron amurense helped healthy, overweight premenopausal women (20-50 years of age) reduce their stress eating. They had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol at the end of the day, felt more able to manage their stress, and gained significantly less weight than the control group during the study.

Fenugreek: Based on the available evidence, fenugreek has benefits for lowering blood sugar levels, boosting testosterone, and increasing milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Fenugreek may also reduce cholesterol levels, lower inflammation, and help with appetite control.

Magnolia Bark: Magnolia bark increases GABA activity, which means that it quiets the excitatory neurons in the brain, producing a calming effect, which helps reduce anxiety and promote sleep. It also reduces adrenaline and cortisol, two major stress hormones. Indirectly lower levels of adrenaline and cortisol lead to better sleep as well. Cortisol is linked with weight gain (that too with fat in the abdominal area), sugar control problems, memory issues and other stress related disorders. It also has shown potential to help with anxiety.

Herbal tinctures as medicine

Why are tinctures a preferred method of taking herbs? Because tinctures are potent! You don't waste your money on pills that have been in the manufacturing process for months / years and lose potency! With an alcohol base, the tinctures pull out all the medicinal benefits of the plant, and preserve them naturally for you! They don't lose potency over time.

With that being said, they are in a non-gmo vodka base. Which is fine for most people. But some people prefer to avoid alcohol in all forms. (even by avoiding real vanilla extract) and we support that choice. These tinctures aren't for those people. Because of the potential for bacteria to reside in glycerine tinctures, we have decided to only offer vodka based tinctures. These herbs are edible and considered safe for most people. Some people may be allergic to certain herbs and should not use them. It is always best to consult your doctor before using any herbal product if you are taking prescription medications or have a health condition.

INGREDIENTS:  Garcinia Cambogia, Ceylon Cinnamon, Fenugreek, Gymnema Sylvestre, Coleus Forskohlii, Phellodendron, Magnolia Bark and non-GMO Vodka

DIRECTIONS: Take 20-30 drops 2-3x per day in juice or tea as desired. The tincture should last 2-3 weeks if you take it 2x per day. You CAN take this directly under your tongue but like most tinctures, the taste can be unpleasant. When I do this, I always chase it with something sweet.

Weight Loss Support Formula from Purify Your Body

 Here is more information about my Weight Loss Support formula! This has a ton of herbs that can boost your metabolism and burn fat. The key with this formula working well is to be consistent with it. It does have cayenne pepper in it, so it is a bit spicy! Many people have a difficult time losing weight no matter what they try. That is so frustrating! These ingredients I have chosen help in individual ways, and I hope they work for you, too! PLEASE NOTE THIS FORMULA CONTAINS MUSHROOMS (Cordyceps). 

Dosage: Take 20-30 drops 2-3x per day in juice or tea. You CAN take under your tongue if you want. It is just easier to get down when putting in juice. Because of the cayenne, it will burn your mouth. This should last 2-3 weeks if you take 2-3x per day. I don't recommend this formula for kids at all, but teens can use it if they want.

Why are tinctures a preferred method of taking herbs? Because tinctures are potent! You don’t waste your money on pills that have been in the manufacturing process for months / years and lose potency! With an alcohol base, the tinctures pull out all the medicinal benefits of the plant, and preserve them naturally for you! They don’t lose potency over time. If you forget about this formula in your cupboard and find it in 5 years, you can still take it! It will still be potent! Isn't that cool?

Now, the ingredients. 

Garcinia Cambogia:  Studies of garcinia cambogia have shown that it significantly lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increases beneficial HDL cholesterole and urinary fat metabolites (markers of fat oxidation). It lowers leptin, therefore decreasing appetite and it promotes a release of serotonin in the brain which supports healthy weight control. Garcinia cambogia also improves melatonin metabolism and increases energy stores in the liver and other tissues, thereby improving energy and reducing appetite. It reduces insulin resistance. Great for weight loss support.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon has been shown to reduce some of the bad effects of eating high-fat foods. This can help in an overall weight loss plan. Its effect on blood glucose levels can also help your body ultimately lose weight. Scientists report that cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the accumulation of white fat in adipose tissue, the kind that “pads” your body.

Ginger: A spicy, warming, aromatic spice famous for relieving nausea & indigestion, warming the body, and promoting appetite. In this way ginger is a potential remedy for motion sickness, flatulence, and chemotherapy-induced nausea. As an anti-inflammatory circulatory tonic, ginger may provide relief from rheumatoid arthritis, joint or muscle pain, & bad circulation or cramps – taken internally or applied as a poultice. As a diaphoretic, ginger can bring on a good sweat to help progress a fever, with its antimicrobial powers helping to fight off an invading cold or flu.The relaxing effect of ginger on the abdominal area can also relieve cold menstrual cramps and promote menstruation.

Cordyceps: Cordycep Sinensis has been known to boost oxygen flow to muscles (especially after exercise), as well as increase energy and prevent fatigue. Cordyceps also may keep blood sugar in check by mimicking the actions of insulin. It also may help fight inflammation as well as have benefits to your heart.

Ginseng: Ginseng may help stimulate physical and mental activity in people who feel weak and tired. One study revealed that ginseng showed good results in helping cancer patients with fatigue. Also can boost energy, lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reduce stress, promote relaxation, treat diabetes, and manage sexual dysfunction in men.

Fenugreek: Based on the available evidence, fenugreek has benefits for lowering blood sugar levels, boosting testosterone, and increasing milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Fenugreek may also reduce cholesterol levels, lower inflammation, and help with appetite control.

Cayenne: One of the purest of all known stimulants and the most useful of the stimulating diaphoretics. Its potent qualities make it of wide applicability in most fevers (will increase body temperature), infections and general body cleansing. As a cardiac tonic will regulate blood flow, strengthen the heart, arteries, capillaries and will aid in poor peripheral circulation causing cold hands and feet. As a carminative is used in flatulence, dyspepsia and colic, and as a circulatory stimulant will increase blood supply to the digestive organs, hence enhancing their activities (secretions and regular contractions). Topically it is used as a rubefacient to increase circulation and aid in problems such as rheumatic pains. Its counter-irritant effect causes vasodilation (and heat) in whichever tissue with which it comes into contact.

in March I started the ketogenic diet -- where almost 80% of my calories came from fat, about 15% from protein and about 5% from carbs.

The first week was amazing -- I showed a lot of weight loss. (5 lbs. approximately). But nothing else after that. For the next 2 1/2 months I went without potatoes and my morning oatmeal, and even my sprouted grain bread (that I think tastes disgusting but I love my grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup). I was already pretty much grain free with the exception of rice about once a week, and potatoes and oatmeal. I already avoid processed food and sugars -- only eating raw honey, coconut palm sugar or maple syrup in moderation.

I was not feeling any better. Sluggish, insomnia, no weight loss. I was in ketosis according to my ketone strips that I tested a couple times a day. My thyroid symptoms seemed to be getting worse.

In May I listened to the Thyroid Sessions, where I learned more about how to help heal my thyroid. One thing that it did mention was that your thyroid needed carbs. Not a lot, and they could be healthy carbs, but it may make hypothyroid patients worse. That is what was happening to me.

There are so many good things about being in ketosis -- so many health benefits. But in my unique situation I wasn't getting any benefit. Which is why I wanted to try Raspberry Ketones. I bought a name brand formula to try, and was dismayed that it had a lot of extras in it, including caffeine. Because my body reacts negatively to stimulants, I had a horrible day experiencing heart palpitations, jitteryness, and dizziness. I subsequently gave those pills away to a friend.


So, I was excited to try Pure Raspberry Ketones by Summit Nutritions. Nothing in them but raspberry ketones! I started taking them and did not have any adverse affects or reactions, so I was happy.

From Dr. Oz:

"Research has shown that raspberry ketone can help in your weight-loss efforts, especially when paired with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet of healthy and whole foods.
Raspberry ketone is the primary aroma compound of red raspberries. This compound regulates adiponectin, a protein used by the body to regulate metabolism. Raspberry ketone causes the fat within your cells to get broken up more effectively, helping your body burn fat faster. The recommended dose is  at least100mg per day. To get the same benefit from the whole fruit, you'd have to consume 90 pounds of raspberries."

I have not been taking them too long yet, but the research has been very positive and I look forward to finishing them up to see the difference in my stomach fat especially! Since these are 500mg I should be able to see the results quickly. Buy them below:

Can detox foot pads help you lose weight?

Over the years I have seen detox foot pads that claim they will help you lose weight. Some of them have ingredients like grapefruit pectin, which is known to help those pounds get flushed away.

I have been selling Purify Your Body detox foot pads for over 7 years, and have been using them for almost 9 years. (Not continuously... I normally use them only on weekends as maintenance). I have studied, and found the best formula using the best ingredients, and of course, using absolutely no fillers. As a result, Purify Your Body offers the best deal on the best foot pads, and as always, we offer free priority mail shipping anywhere in the U.S.

So, I hope that I come to you with a little bit of knowledge on this subject. Detox foot pads WILL help you lose weight. But not in the way you are thinking. You don't need special ingredients (like grapefruit pectin). None of the ingredients ENTER your bloodstream. (It can be debated that minute amounts do get into your body... and that might be true, just as your skin might absorb lotion, however, the ingredients of the foot pads PULL things out, and so let's say that nothing in adequate amounts to help you lose weight, will enter your body through the foot pads).

With most people who are struggling with their weight, we see a problem of a sluggish metabolism. When your body is filled with toxins, your thyroid isn't going to work to regulate your metabolic system. It will become almost stagnate. As a result, no matter what you do, no matter how many calories you burn, no matter how few calories you eat, YOU WILL NOT LOSE WEIGHT! At least not easily.  It will be very difficult for you to lose weight and it will cause a vast amount of frustration as a result. Like walking on a treadmill, you won't get anywhere no matter the effort you put in.

So, where do the detox foot pads come in? Simple. You cleanse your body -- especially use them on your toes -- and get your system cleaned out, so when you DO workout, when you DO eat right, your body will reward you by losing the fat. Like a well tuned machine, your body will finally respond to all your weight loss activities.

Yes, it is that easy.

But, if you continue to put toxins in your body (i.e. via the foods you eat and the toxic drinks you consume), you will face the same situation over and over again throughout your life. Some of the worst culprits include diet beverages that contain aspartame and sucrolose (splenda). This horrible poison is so bad for anyone who wants to lose weight. It will make your metabolism slow down so that it is at a standstill. It can cause brain lesions, migraines, epilepsy, and more. It can make you feel fatigued. And it is in so many processed foods, including yogurts! Commercial yogurt is NOT a health food. Don't be misled. IF you want a good probiotic, try kefir. In fact, try making your own.

I would suggest starting out with a 60-day supply of the detox foot pads. Wear them every night, rotate the area on your feet where you put them on. Then, at the end of the month, consider how you are feeling, and decide if you want to continue. You will know whether they will be worth it to you.

HCG Diet - getting my body back to a healthy weight

Homeopathic HCG Diet.

I started the HcG diet this week. In 2 days I have lost 3 pounds of fat so far. It is very difficult for me to eat a very low calorie diet, but the food I AM eating tastes delicious, so I am not depriving myself of anything tasty... I ate grilled chicken last night with some delicious peas. I used savory sea salt from Mother Earth Minerals to season almost everything. Today for lunch I had leftovers from yesterday. I also am eating grilled chicken salads with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing that has 30 calories. I am eating fresh fruit as snacks, and if I get too hungry between meals, I eat a few spoonfuls of fat free cottage cheese.

I am drinking a LOT of Jasmine Green Tea from Bigelow. I am also sweetening some koolaid with Stevia so it is no calories but yet I don't have to have the sugar. I LOVE stevia. My favorite flavors of koolaid are strawberry and fruit punch. I am not a big koolaid drinker, and miss my raw milk. 18 more days to go and my goal weight loss is 25 pounds. I think I can do it.

I am still taking my minerals and vitamins, and my Silica Gel and resveratrol.

My BMI was 25.8, which is just a tad above "healthy" weight for me. But because of my hypothyroidism, I could not lose weight. Now that my thyroid is acting better, I have to lose the weight. The sooner the better. I am used to fluctuating between 135-145 my whole adult life, so this was frustrating for me! I am tall, 5'8" and can carry my weight well, but who wants to "carry weight well". I want to feel good and look good, too. And, I don't want my clothes to fit me tight anymore. I HATE clothes shopping as much as I hate grocery shopping. I have plenty of nice clothes, I just need to finish this diet so I can wear them again! I am normally a size 6/8 and hate being a 10/12 so that will be something to look forward to!

So, I will try to give updates every few days. I am hoping for at least a pound of weight loss per day. That is do-able, as it burns FAT not MUSCLE, and I am using the sauna, and will try to use it more frequently during this diet. I can burn up to 900 calories in 1 sauna sitting, and that is more than the number of calories I am eating per day. I am very active and am doing my strengthening exercises, and using my "jiggly machine" (vibration exerciser). So... we will see.

I am not starving. I am hungry, but as my body adjusts to less calories, with the same activity level, I think I will do fine. My biggest craving right now is Strawberry Starbursts. I don't know why. It is easy for me to go to bed at night on an empty stomach than it is for me to skip breakfast. So that is hard, since we aren't supposed to eat breakfast, and then only eat a piece of fruit mid morning.

Other things I am craving: Ramen Noodles without the seasoning (I use non-msg beef or chicken broth), mexican food, Leeann Chin's sesame chicken (this is probably going to be my first regular meal again, in 19 days!)

And, I am using my detox foot pads. I want to make sure I am not putting more toxins into my thyroid to make it stagnant again! I am also doing minor other things, like not drinking out of plastic water bottles anymore, not storing my foods in plastic containers (I switched to glass pyrex containers and I think I really like them), and being consistent with my supplements.

One month from now I will be feeling amazing. Just you watch and see!!
