Welcome to Ultimate Health


The great news is that you can be healthy and not starve yourself.

That may seem hard to believe if you've suffered through a yo-yo dieting merry-go-round. But unfortunately, the net result of most "dieting" is that you end up with more fat than before you started.

My idea of ultimate health is to cleanse your body of toxins and waste. And then continue to remain clean, healthy and happy with a slim new physique.

It's simply about learning the things which are most important to your health. And then doing them.

When you eat and do the things your body is crying out for, it'll reward you with glowing health, inner confidence and an optimistic sense of well-being.

And you'll actually enjoy foods that perhaps you won't eat today. Such as delicious whole foods, juicy fruits and vegetables.

When you cleanse your system of toxic waste, you'll no longer crave foods that are unhealthy. Your taste buds will no longer be perverted by junk food and processed food that's been stripped of its health benefits.

One of the things you can do to start your day the right way is to enjoy a protein smoothie. Quality organic whey protein is crucial to getting your brain chemicals in balance.

Whey protein is nutrient-dense and rich in amino acids.

The key is the amino acids which help you to raise your dopamine and seratonin.

These are crucial to your sense of well-being. Dopamine gives you clarity, energy and motivation. And seratonin gives you comfort, contentment and optimism.

These neurotransmitters are all directly determined by diet and exercise.

These are a natural alternative to prescription drugs like Ritalin.

Other characteristics of a balanced brain include stable moods, more energy and better sleep.

There are so many reason to cleanse your system.

You may have heard that death begins in the colon. Right now, you may have up to 20 pounds of impacted fecal matter, undigested food and other toxic sludge clogging up your pipes.

It literally makes you a statistic waiting to happen.

Another reason that its important to cleanse your body of toxins is because when you drink amino acids, they are digested in your stomach and then processed by your liver.

If your digestion is weak or your liver is toxic, then the amino acids can't be fully converted into brain chemicals. Weak digestion or a toxic liver will block your production of healthy brain chemicals.

Here's a short video, courtesy of the WSJ.com and the National Cancer Institute, which shows NFL All-Pro Tony Gonzalez, a mostly vegan eater, making a delicious protein shake.

And you don't necessarily have to give up meat. But when you look at the bodies of non-meat eaters like Herschel Walker and Tony Gonzalez, you can see that you don't need meat to create muscle.

You simply need good quality protein. The kind you can get in a quality whey protein.
