Stick to a sleep schedule – Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Being consistent reinforces your body’s sleep-wake cycle and helps promote better sleep at night.

Pay attention to what you eat and drink – Don’t go to bed either hungry or stuffed.  Your discomfort might keep you up. Also limit how much you drink before bed, to prevent disruptive middle-of-the-night trips to the toilet.   Nicotine, caffeine and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of nicotine and caffeine — which take hours to wear off — can wreak havoc with quality sleep. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy at first, it can disrupt sleep later in the night.

Create a bedtime ritual – Do the same things each night to tell your body it’s time to wind down. This might include taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book, or listening to soothing music — preferably with the lights dimmed. Relaxing activities can promote better sleep by easing the transition between wakefulness and drowsiness.

Get comfortable – Create a room that’s ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark and quiet.  Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.

Include physical activity in your daily routine – Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, helping you to fall asleep faster and to enjoy deeper sleep. Timing is important, though. If you exercise too close to bedtime, you might be too energized to fall asleep. If this seems to be an issue for you, exercise earlier in the day.

Multi-Vitamin, Multi-Mineral and PhytoNutrients (equivalent  to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit).

Can we get all of the vitamins and minerals that we need from our food today? The answer is NO!

Many of us do not get the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals necessary from our foods, even if we are consuming the suggested daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

Due to current farming practices, mass food production, processing, and cooking, our foods are less nutrient dense than they were in previous years. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that it takes seven cups of today’s spinach to equal the nutrition that a single cup provided in 1960.

It’s absolutely crucial that your body gets the nutrients it needs to function effectively and efficiently. The daily stress of pollution, fatty and processed food, and stress deplete your body of nutrients and it’s up to you to replace these nutrients. You can do this through healthy nutrition, or even better, through healthy nutrition and proper supplementation.

Vitamins and minerals help maintain cellular efficiency by activating enzyme systems that are essential to cellular function. Phyto-nutrients which are found in various forms of plant life are so important that nutritionists recommend at least 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, and suggest even more is better. Sadly, less than one in five Americans get even half of these amounts.

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are a unique form of dietary fat that impart a wide range of positive health and weight loss benefits. Studies suggest that the fast-metabolizing properties of MCT Oil increase thermogenesis and reduce body fat accumulation without any adverse effects on cholesterol or blood lipids. MCT oil, when it is metabolized in the body, behaves more like a carbohydrate than a fat.

MCT Oil may help increase energy and endurance while enhancing the results of diet and exercise. Dietary fats are molecules composed of individual carbon atoms linked into chains ranging from 2 to 22 carbon atoms in length. Long Chain Fatty chain (LCTs) ranging from 12 to 18 carbons long are the predominant form of fat in the American diet. MCTs, by contrast, are composed of only 6 to 10 carbon links.

Because of their shorter chain length, MCTs have a number of unique properties which give them advantages over the more common LCTs.

MCTs, Energy and Exercise

MCTs provide about ten percent fewer calories than LCTs – 8.3 calories per gram for MCTs versus 9 calories per gram for LCTs . But this is just one of the unique advantages of MCTs. More importantly, reduced chain length means that MCTs are more rapidly absorbed by the body and more quickly metabolized (burned) as fuel. The result of this accelerated metabolic conversion is that instead of being stored as fat, the calories contained in MCTs are very efficiently converted into fuel for immediate use by organs and muscles.

The energy-enhancing properties of MCTs are attributed to the fact that they cross the double mitochondrial membrane very rapidly, and do not require the presence of carnitine, as do LCTs. Calorie-restricted diets are often associated with marked declines in energy. A number of studies support the benefits of using MCTs in weight loss programs to boost energy.

MCTs and Weight Control

In addition to their lower caloric content than LCTs, MCTs are not stored in fat deposits in the body as much as LCTs. Furthermore, MCTs have been shown to enhance thermogenesis (i.e., fat burning). So MCTs seem to offer a triple approach to weight loss – (1) they have a lower calorie content than other fats, (2) are minimally stored as fat and (3) contribute to enhance metabolism to burn even more calories. This third property may be due to the fact that MCTs behave metabolically and promote the development of ketones.

Appetite Control

MCTs have been shown to s uppress appetite, an ability of obvious benefit for those attempting to lower their intake of total calories. In one 14-day study, six healthy male volunteers were allowed unlimited access to one of three diets: a low MCT diet, a medium MCT diet. The researchers noted that substituting MCTs for other fats in a high-fat diet “can limit the excess energy intakes and weight gain produced by high-fat energy-dense diets.”

The production of Ketones is a cornerstone of the HCG Diet and other VLCDs (very low calorie diets). MCTs may enable those following the HCG diet to more rapidly obtain benefits and more easily utilize fat for energy (glucose, being the other). One study compared the effects of diets in which rats were provided fat by either MCTs or lard. The MCT-fed rats lost significant weight, although their calorie consumption was the same as the lard fed rats.

In another study, researchers observed increased weight gains, reduced fat content and unchanged whole-body protein content in MCT-fed animals compared to control animals fed LCTs,. In a third study, fat deposits in rats fed diets high in MCTs were 23 percent less. Animal results have been supported by human trials. In one study researchers fed six lean and six obese young males meals containing either long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) or MCTs plus LCTs. In both the lean and obese individuals, post-meal thermogenesis (fat burning) was enhanced after consuming meals contain ing MCTs. In another study involving a group of obese women on a restricted diet, researchers noted that insulin profiles improved when MCTs comprised 24 percent of total consumed calories.

HCG Diet & MTC Oil

MTC oil has a shorter chain structure so it is easier to digest than longer chain triglycerides. MCT oil, when it is metabolized in the body, behaves rather more like a carbo hydrate than a fat. The fuel of preference for the body is carbohydrate, and the body will use up its store of carbohydrate before using other fuels.

Unlike other fats, MCT oil does not go into the lymphatic system; instead it is transported directly to the liver where it is metabolized, so releasing energy quickly, just like a carbohydrate, and creating lots of ketones in the process. MCT oil can be used as a source of fat in the classical ketogenic diet. It offer s a number of advantages:

• ·         MCT oil is more “ketogenic” than other fats, so when it is used, it may be possible to operate the diet at a lower ratio, which gives greater flexibility in the choice of foods.
• ·         Because it is fast acting, it can be used as a ketogenic pick me up, for example by giving additional MCT oil in the morning to boost ketones quickly.
• ·         MCT oil is a lso a laxative, which is often a useful thing with the ketogenic diet.

If you experience an upset stomach, you might need to reduce quantities. Always consult your physician before taking any supplements.

Taking a daily multivitamin / mineral is important; however, the quality of the ingredients included is critical. Many minerals are poorly absorbed; our Alpha Base Ultimate Pack uses fully reacted minerals utilizing optimal absorption.

Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits and vegetables containing soluble fiber may reduce the risk of heart disease and lower blood cholesterol levels. Those same low fat, fiber-rich diets that are strong in fruits and vegetables (food that may contain dietary fiber, vitamin A and vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. The essential greend regimen in Alpha Base Ultimate Pak is rich in natural antioxidants from fruits and vegetables.

This supplement truly is the ULTIMATE SUPPLEMENT.

In the U.S., Mesotherapy continues to receive great interest for aesthetic purposes such as:

• reduction of cellulite
• localized fat spot reduction
• skin rejuvenation
• eyelids, chin, neck and jowls

Many physicians agree that a dietary lifestyle and nutritional supplementation are essential to achieve the best long term results for a healthier living. While aging is a dynamic and unstoppable process, alternative therapies, such as Mesotherapy, could help body shaping and minimize the ravaging effects of aging.

MesoDerm Cream™ is a topical enhancement cream, formulated with some of the same ingredients that are commonly used in the micro-needle therapies.

MesoDerm Cream™ is formulated to provide maximum absorption through the skin. Key ingredients, (Deoxycholic acid and Phosphatidyl choline) are bio-identical compounds similar to what the body produces. These lipid soluble compounds are essential to the systematic process of action. The small size of their molecules allow for these compounds to easily pass between the cells. Both Deoxycholic acid and Phosphatidyl choline are unique carriers for nutrient transport throughout internal membranes.

MesoDerm Cream™ may help many patients achieve the same results with or without other Mesotherapy aesthetics. Whether to enhance and speed up results from the therapy injections, or to use as a stand alone product, MesoDerm Cream™ will deliver results!

MesoDerm Cream™ for cellulite

• dissolve excess fat deposit
• improve blood flow
• improve lymphatic draining

MesoDerm Cream™ for localized fat reduction

• assists in the breakdown of existing fat cells
• assists in blocking cells from storing fat

MesoDerm Cream™ for face rejuvenation

• enhances elastin production and collagen stimulation

MesoDerm Cream™ is an alternative choice to

• Mesotherapy
• Lipo:-Dissolve
• Smart-Lipo
• Other aesthetics procedures

KUPM is especially suited for people who have been identified, using NeuroScience’s Assess and Addressä approach, to have low-to-moderate urinary serotonin and salivary melatonin levels, as well as a GABA imbalance.

When should patients take Kavinace Ultra PM?

Take 1 capsule of Kavinace Ultra PM at bedtime.

Is it OK to take Kavinace Ultra PM during the day?

KUPM is designed to help patients fall asleep, so it’s not recommended that this product be taken during the daytime as it may cause drowsiness.

What are the ingredients in KUPM?

Kavinace Ultra PM contains

• 4-amino-3-phenylbutyric acid, a GABA derivative that easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts as a GABA_A agonist.
• 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the precursor to serotonin that provides calming neurotransmitter support.
• Melatonin, which has been shown to promote sleep by regulating our circadian rhythm. Melatonin also may promote sleep by binding to GABA receptors, as well as enhancing the sleep-promoting effects of other GABA-ergic products.

What else can you tell me about melatonin?

Melatonin has additional benefits, including:

• Calming effects
• Protection against glutamate excess and neuronal excitotoxicity.
• Anti-oxidant activity that may protect brain cells from damage by free radicals.
• Maintenance of cell integrity and mitochondrial function.
• Easing of chronic pain.

I notice that KUPM doesn’t contain taurine, while Kavinace does. Why?

The taurine in Kavinace is an amino acid that acts as a GABA_A agonist and has calming effects. Melatonin has similar effects, along with added activities especially beneficial for improving sleep (see above).

My patient is currently taking Kavinace plus Travacor. How should I incorporate KUPM into their regimen?

You can replace the current dose of nighttime Kavinace + Travacor with just one capsule of Kavinace Ultra PM + 1 Travacor. If a daytime dose of Kavinace was recommended, this daytime dose should remain unchanged.

What are the Benefits of Probiotics?

The name probiotic, which means “for life,” describes the benefit these friendly bacteria provide to the human body.

Probiotics play a role in:

• Digestion

• Regularity

• Immunity

• Nutrient production and absorption

• Production of short-chain fatty acids that promote a healthy colon

High-Bifido for Optimum Benefits

Many probiotic supplements are formulated to contain predominantly Lactobacilli. Yet, Bifidobacteria are the most prevalent probiotic in a healthy colon. Bifidobacteria ferment dietary fiber and produce byproducts such as B vitamins and short chain fatty acids that promote the health of the entire body. With age our level of Bifidobacteria declines, so Ultimate FloraMax 30 Billion provides a higher ratio of Bifido to Lacto (more similar to the ratio found in the human digestive tract).

Effective and Cost-Friendly

• Helps replenish essential Bifido colonies that decline as we age in a balanced, easy-dose formula.

•Recommended to help mitigate mild to moderate digestive irregularity, relieve occasional constipation

and diarrhea, and optimize intestinal immune health.

•An adjusted potency probiotic for those without acute needs at a cost-friendly price.

•Can be used for younger patients who need more probiotic support.

PRObiotic 225 takes probiotic potency to the next level for your most challenging cases. Each extra-strength packet is guaranteed to have 225 billion cfu’s at the time of expiration. PRObiotic 225 is formulated to travel easily and requires no refrigeration to retain maximum potency.

PRObiotic 225 is a multistrain probiotic and each strain has been specially selected for it’s unique metabolic activity and ability to support normal intestinal ecology.

Strength and durability are key elements of probiotic efficacy. The hardy strains chosen for PRObiotic 225 have been researched and verified to survive the harshness of the GI environment and withstand a variety of pH ranges

Recent in vitro research has shown that significantly increasing probiotic concentrations, elicits a much different immune response in the G.I. tract. By increasing the concentration well beyond typical probiotic dosing, a positive shift in gene expression was observed.
