Are you gaining belly fat that you can’t seem to get rid of? Are you tired all the time, but can’t figure out what’s going on? Is your brain not functioning as well as it used to? If this is you, then please call us – we need to help you address this to prevent the long-term results of the above: heart attack, stroke, dementia, chronic joint pain/joint replacement surgery, depression, anxiety and many other chronic diseases.
No one wants to have a heart attack, stroke or dementia for sure, as many times we lose our independence, and it’s scary to depend on others all the time. Depression, anxiety and joint surgery doesn’t seem quite so bad – but our ability to enjoy life is significantly diminished if we have these symptoms. And as we’re nearing or in retirement, we’ve been looking forward to enjoying travel, more athletics, time with grandkids and more hobbies, but if we’re not feeling good, it’s not a time of joy, it’s more a time of stress. That’s not okay, and there’s a way to address that!
We see those around us gaining weight as they get older, so we start thinking it’s normal, but it’s really not! It didn’t used to be this way, even as short a time ago as the 1970s! Look at pictures of people at the beach or at gatherings from that time and the obese/overweight person is rare. Now they’re everywhere – and treatment is not the “magic” drug Ozempic that everyone’s pushing.
It is important to look for underlying causes of weight gain – hormonal deficiency, chronic infections, undiagnosed sleep apnea, food sensitivities, chemical toxicity and the list goes on. These underlying issues often cause the fatigue that many of us feel – but alternatively, some people get overly-revved up. They can’t settle down to relax and they are in a state of fight or flight – which, temporarily, works better than exhaustion. However, we can’t heal our bodies when we’re in fight of flight, so we need to undo that state to start improving our health.
Did you know that men have almost a 70 percent decrease in their sperm count these days as compared to 60 yrs ago? That means their sex hormones are way down too – which affects libido, body fat levels, motivation for life (and that ever present honey-do list) and our energy levels.
On the female side, it’s almost universal that women are having symptoms going through menopause these days when it used to be a non-event. Our monthly event just stopped being something we had to deal with, as compared to now many (if not most of us), have issues with severe brain fog, weight gain, depression/irritability, fatigue, joint pain, hot flashes – symptoms that are really interfering with our lives.
