Happy New Year 2013

   Hey All! I know I haven't done a video in months. I never expected to get  a permanent position in the medical field with so little education and experience. It has been a blessing and to keep up, I have had to constantly continue my education as well as work and keep up with my fitness goals. This year, I may participate in a fitness competition. Nothing pro, but I want to go through the experience of dropping my Body fat below 8% so I will be able to get clients started on that track as well.

   I am also looking to find that threshold where exercise become unhealthy, but I don't plan to cross it! Below I am linking all of my community to some very important manuals I created early on in my journey as Jimi Atherton CPT. Download them, use them, and feel better because of them! Happy New Year!!

3 Tools That Can Double Your Weight Loss Results

Details

Category: Diet/ Foods

Working with as many clients as I do, I have been seeing trends of both fitness success and fitness failures. Not everyone responds the same to exercise, but i have found  a way to speed up results for those who have stubborn body fat that just wont budge!

Generally speaking, you can run 2 hours a day and hit the weights for 2 hours more,but if you are eating fast food, cupcakes, salad dressing, and other super saturated calorie foods, you will never be able to burn more calories than you consume.  So, my first tip of expert advise is eat healthy. Cook your own food, and keep the oils, salts, red meats, and dairy, to a minimum unless otherwise advised by a doctor.

That being said, calorie management is a key factor of weight management success and just like any applied science, macronutrient intake has to be measured and documented.  Contrary to populare belief  Scales are not just for the local deli, measuring cups arent just for browni mix, and measuring spoons are not solely designed for flavors and spices.

All of these tools are really important for measuring everything that goes on your plate! So lets break it down:

1. The Kitchen Scale
The kitchen scale is generally used to weigh out all of your meat so you can calculate the calories and macronutrient content in order to manage your weight goals! You can also measure out your carbs like spaghetti!

2. The Measuring Cup:
is used to measure quantities of fluids such as milk, almond milk and also more solid foods, like cottage cheese, rice,  home made soups, etc.

3. The Measuring Spoon:
is used to measure your oils, and salad dressings. these things are diet destroyers, but we also cant live without them, so its important to know you are getting just the right amount!

You really need  to see how much  8 ounces of flat steak truly is and how much a cup of steamed carrots looks like. This gives you a better sense of the relationship between Nutrition, Caloric Density, and how much food really belongs on a plate. We have all been raised to finish our plate and  my case, my mother cleaved the dining table with a kitchen knife when I was a kid, to ensure that I would always finish my plate. Modern times have proven that America has turned into a fat farm and unless we start refining human fat into ethanol, it really is nonsensical to not know how much food is in a 600 calorie lunch.

So these 3 tools  will double your fat loss or more. Take the time to measure out your cereal in the morning and 2% milk to really see how far off your guesstimate is in comparison to the precise measurement. I am willing to bet that peoples’ understanding of portions is about ⅓ to ½ more than the measured truth. I personally lose about a pound per day with the combination of an hour of Very Vigorous Cardio and keeping to a strict 1600 calorie a day diet.

In Conclusion: Measuring spoons are necessary for oils, salad dressings, dipping sauces,even Hummus. Kitchen Scales will help you understand how much meat is acceptable for a real meal and any other weight based serving sizes. Measuring Cups help you eat more low calorie vegetables to feel fuller. Remember, all of the best recipes use measurements, so make a good recipe that makes an incredible you!

All About Hyperbaric Therapy or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

HBOT Therapy is one of the many  therapies at the Palmer Center For Natural Healing that has had success in helping athletic and common injuries alike heal and allow patients to recover more quickly. To Schedule An Appointment At The Palmer Center  Or More Info Click Here

Hyper Baric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT are any number of enclosures, which can be pressurized to allow a person inside to experience higher atmospheric pressures than the normal environmental pressures. For example, a treatment at an elevation of 12,000 feet above sea level using a 4 psi (1.27 ATA) can simulate a decent of ~5,843 feet to 6,157 feet above sea level.

At higher elevations, the barometric pressure is lower. This decrease of pressure also decreases the oxygenation of blood, and is known as anoxia—where molecules of oxygen exert less pressure on the walls of the alveoli (Dalton's Law). HBOT follows this law.

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) work?

Hyperbaria - Increased atmospheric pressure as a means of increasing
oxygen uptake without an enriched oxygen source
Hyperoxia - Increased total oxygen content
Hyperbaria is based on the concept of the relationship of gas pressure and uptake in liquids (blood, plasma and tissues). Henry's Law states that "a gas is dissolved by a liquid in direct proportion to its partial pressure." For example, at sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg, the oxygen concentration is 21% and the body's oxygen content or partial pressure, pO2, in blood and plasma is ~ 40 mm Hg.

Red blood cells have a limitation as to how much oxygen can bind with hemoglobin. The plasma portion of the blood typically has about a 3% oxygen concentration. By placing someone in a 3 psi pressure hyperbaric environment, the increase in atmospheric pressure at sea level goes from 760 mm Hg to 915 mm Hg. This increase in gas pressure, increases the partial pressure of the oxygen gas and thus forces more oxygen to be dissolved in the plasma. This saturation of oxygen in the blood that occurs due to the HBOT Therapy, allows the extra oxygen to be diffused or transported to the surrounding body tissues. Thus, oxygen transport by plasma is significantly increased under this specialized treatment. At three atmospheres pressure, enough oxygen can be dissolved in the plasma to support the oxygen demands of the body at rest in the absence of hemoglobin!

HBOT is designed to boost the supply of oxygen to ischemic tissue or to diseased tissues that respond to increased oxygen levels. Increasing the volume of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma,that is brought about by HBOT treatment, produces five basic effects:

•  Reduction of volume of gas bubbles in the blood
•  Vasoconstriction, which reduces edema and secondary hypoxia
•  Restoration of aerobic metabolism to ischemic tissue
•  Detoxification of poisoned tissues
•  Enhanced phagocytosis

Henry's Law- Henry's law states that for a gas-liquid interface the amount of the gas that dissolves in the liquid is proportional to its partial pressure. So Henry's law helps to predict how much gas will be dissolved in the liquid. The actual amount also depends on the solubility of the gas as well as its partial pressure. Dalton's Law-John Dalton observed that the total pressure of a gas mixture was the sum of the pressures of each of the gases if they were to exist on their own.

Hey Folks, Long time no speak! That is because I have been busy. I successfully Passed my Corrective Exercise Specialization (CES) and TRX® Training Level 1. My education for the year is still not over. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be starting my chiropractic assistant certification and will continue working with Dr. Palmer and Dr. Myers at the Palmer Center For Natural Healing. I learned a lot in my internet absence. Besides getting jaw dropping results in Corrective and Preventative Care, I have also been slowly learning how to do all sorts of therapies such as TENS Electric Stimulation, Mild Hyperbaric Therapy, Cold Laser Therapy, and even a new drug free pain treatment called SCENAR.

There is no new healthy moments this week but I do have Part 1 of Dr. Palmer's workshop called "Jumpstart Your Health For Great Results" so check it out!Also! Check out My Personal Vlog From Inside the Mild Hyperbaric Chamber!
