Well who would have thought it? 2009 is here and racing by already! Although we are well into then year HAPPY NEW YEAR! Lets make sure 2009 is better than the rest! Its up to YOU, so just do it!

Of course you have all been relaxing and taking it easy and are well rested, feeling fit and healthy and........ what do you mean? Not feeling fit and healthy! OK, so you had a few extra drinks to celebrate the new year and been a little "lazy", hey its been holiday time, right?  

And with all that now you are wondering what to do to try and shed those pesky few additional kilos that have somehow found their way onto your body.

If you are needing a little help in this area here is a short article that may be of interest for weight loss tips

While you have been taking time out, contrary to what some of you may believe, I have been beavering away burning the midnight oil and have added several new products to the website.

We now have available on-line a highly effective range of practitioner only products sold under the brand name of Future Formulations.

Future Formulations products have been developed by Dr James Wilson,ND,DC,PhD. Dr Wilson is a highly regarded physician who has an exceptional understanding of one of the most significant issues facing us today - STRESS.

If we consider that health experts currently believe that 75%-90% of ALL doctor visits, both medical and psychological, are now recognised as stress related then you start to get an idea of how BIG this whole issue is.

Over 10 years ago, Dr Wilson coined the phrase "Adrenal Fatigue". With 26 years of post graduate research and education and 28 years of clinical experience this unique range has been continually refined over a 16 year period and offers what we think is the most effective treatment and support of the adrenals.

Along with the unique formulations that we have been using throughout 2008, with Dr Wilson's experience behind us, we have tried and tested protocols we use to assist with Adrenal recovery, and the results have been exceptional!

Once Adrenal Fatigue sets in, you may become susceptible to a long list of health complaints including respiratory infections, asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other immune disorders.

Manifestations of adrenal fatigue:

• Alcoholism
• Allergies
• Anxiety, anger (short-fuse), irritability, depression
• Arthritic pain
• Asthma
• Adult-onset diabetes - Type 2 Diabetes
• Auto-immune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, many more)
• Confusion, poor concentration, and memory recall
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Cravings for salt or sweet foods
• Decreased immune response - recurrent coughs, colds, flu
• Difficulty during menopause (the adrenals take over the role of the ovaries after menopause)
• Fatigue in spite of sufficient sleep
• Fibromyalgia
• Frequent respiratory infections
• Hypoglycemia - erratic or abnormal blood sugar levels (very common)
• Increased fears, anxiety, and depression
• Insomnia
• Libido issues
• Premenstrual tension
• Post viral syndromes (history of glandular fever)
• Reliance on stimulants such as coffee, tea, energy drinks
• Reliance on alcohol to "unwind"
• Reliance on sleeping pills, anti-depressants, and a host of other pharmaceutical medications related to stress-induced diseases.
• Thyroid problems (many hypothyroid patients potentially have Adrenal Fatigue)
• Weight gain
  

The most important tool, and first step for most is Dr Wilson's' book titled, "Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome". This is one of the most comprehensive and yet easy to read books ever written on the effects of stress on health and importantly what to do about it. The book is written as a self help guide and those customers that have had the most success in dealing with this huge problem are the ones who have a copy of the book!

The graphic to the right gives an indication of some of the factors affecting the Adrenal glands.

You probably know someone who could benefit from some help in this area. We can help, so please send this information on and encourage them to contact us now.

The debilitating effects as a result of adrenal fatigue are varied, as you can see from the list, but if you ask anyone in any of these situations - I am sure they will all tell you that its not a lot of fun.

We feel this is such an important topic so if you need some additional information please let us know

Sunglasses are important! But don’t forget the anti-oxidants!

Sunlight of course has its benefits, as a mood enhancer and a critical source of Vitamin D which is an important part of our body processes that supports absorption of the nutrients that the health of our bones and other systems depend on.(if you missed our article about Vit D last year, click here)
But what about the negative aspects of sun exposure - it in fact causes slow and cumulative damage to the eyes and skin. We can clearly see the skin effects over time, but the eye damage is perhaps a little more subtle, and yet often far more debilitating.

Click here to find out more about a new study that shows a clear association with high lifetime exposure to sunlight and age related macular degeneration.

The study found that those who do get adequate amounts of a range of antioxidants were in fact protected.

In light of the fact that we have been told we are all going to have to "tighten our belts" we felt it was appropriate to include this short article that may be helpful for any of you that are business owners out there.

If your customers are happy with your product or service they are probably willing to refer future customers to you. Unfortunately for you, they usually don't think of it or get around to it.
So ask, and you are more likely to receive. Much, much, much more likely.

A good referral request can start with 'who do you know who....'.
It makes people think about people they know and what they need.

To make this work really well, give a specific example of how to identify a good referral.
Examples include 'who do you know who may be looking at upgrading their property?' (real estate), 'who do you know who has been charged penalty fees by the IRD?' (accountant) or 'who do you know who is stressed, unhappy and tired all the time(guess who?).

We know that personal referrals are by far the best way forward for our business, so lets all work together and make 2009 a success.
