BodyFlex AM
Description
DIABETIC FRIENDLY - great for diabetics and for preventing diabetes and obesity!
Breakfast sets the pace for the day!
Professional car racers can only keep the pace if their fuel is absolutely correct. The same applies for us!
In our 'got-to-go' society, the trend has been to skip breakfast and 'grab something on the run' which more often than not has become coffee and a muffin or other sweet pastry; and give the kids some sort of starch and sugar in a box with low fat milk.
This 'habit' has definitely helped fuel the Diabetic and Obesity epidemic throughout North America, not to mention the 'always hungry and tired feelings' we have throughout the day.
Insulin and Leptin
Two hormones, insulin and leptin, are now clearly at the center of discussion and need to be understood in order to get this epidemic under control. Hormones are chemical messengers that direct, orchestrate and regulate all your body's activities.
These two in particular govern when you are hungry, when to stop eating, what your body should do with its glucose and fat...store it or burn it...(I know which one I'd rather have happening!!)
Insulin is such an important hormone that without it, cells would stop allowing glucose (your energy molecule) from entering through the cell membrane and be metabolized for energy production. Diabetics know this only too well, but so do top athletes who strive to achieve enhanced performance.
Leptin on the other hand is a hormone, produced by your fat cells. It tells your brain when you should eat, how much and WHEN to stop. It also has other critical functions such as regulating blood circulation, preventing blood clots, enhancing new bone growth, regulating body temperature and cell reproduction to name but a few.
When the body's levels of both are too high, you have serious problems with sugar and fat metabolism, which commonly leads to diabetes and obesity if left unchecked. The culprit is progressive Insulin and Leptin Resistance.
In Insulin Resistance, the body's sugar levels progressively increase in an attempt to trick the cell in absorbing more glucose, because elevated insulin levels gradually slow the process down. It leads to a vicious cycle of hyper and hypoglycemic events, and eventually, to many degenerative diseases including but not limited to diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
In Leptin Resistance, your body's 'fat burning' slows down, giving rise to sweet cravings and more fat storage. This in turn leads to the same degenerative diseases as insulin resistance. Look at it this way, the more your inadequate diet triggers high levels of Insulin or Leptin, the more your body gets 'tired' of the constant demand (nagging) for sugar and the more your insulin just stops 'listening' and shuts down it's receptors (preventing absorption into the cell). This is 'Resistance'. Sound a lot like a nagging spouse syndrome doesn't it.
Both hormones are 'regulators' and as such should not be inhibited by drugs lest you want a whole lot of side effects. For the majority of people, the only sensible way for these two to return to normal is to adopt dietary changes.
The Solution!
Start your day with a high fiber, low complex carbohydrate, low glycemic, high quality protein breakfast with plenty of good Omega 3 oils. This keeps insulin and leptin levels low and triggers fat burning.
Morning 'Power Smoothie' to the rescue!
For years now, Dr. Bohemier, DC., of Innotech Nutrition has successfully started his day with this simple, easy and inexpensive recipe, which provides him with all essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals and essential fatty acids to carry him well through the day. It has eliminated morning sugar cravings and fatigue, further providing much needed energy and normal weight, which we all strive for. It's also one of many proactive things he does to prevent degenerative diseases and insure longevity.
It's Simple! - Dr. Bohemier's "Power Smoothie" Recipe
Start with a good blender and add:
- one tablespoon each of organic flax
- one tablespoon of hemp seeds
- one teaspoon of organic chia seeds
- 1 to 2 cups of high antioxidant whole frozen or fresh low glycemic berries (a mix of berries such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and saskatoons is great if you have them on hand)
- 1 to 2 cups of water and ice
- begin blending and once the seeds and fruits are mostly crushed;
- add one scoop of high quality super greens powder
- add one scoop (25 - 30grams) of Bodyflex AM
Let it further blend for only about 5 seconds, 'bump blend' or stir in by hand as blender blades can harm the structure of protein powders and should not be used except to blend or stir in the protein as a last stage of preparation.
Voila! It's ready to go. If he's in a hurry, he pours it in a shaker cup with a lid and straw and off he goes. In addition, he consumes at least 3 - 6 grams of omega 3 marine mammal oil caps (higher in DPA than fish oils). All of his vitamins and minerals are included in Bodyflex AM. Do the same for the kids and watch them thrive! Many children who have used Bodyflex AM in the morning have the ability to sit still, concentrate and learn in school.

Testimonials
"We think the Bodyflex AM shake is a great product. I have lost 15 pounds, and my wife has lost 21 pounds. Without busy schedules we do not eat very healthy at lunch or supper, so having the Bodyflex AM shake as a healthy balanced breakfast is perfect for our family. We have been using the shake for approximately a year now and we are happy to say we have more energy, and my joint problems have completly gone away."
D. Schellenberg
"For years my two kids have had cereal for breakfast because I don't have anytime to cook a proper breakfast for them every single morning. I make a Bodyflex AM smoothie in the morning for all of us, including my husband, and I feel confident that my children are getting the proper nutrients that their body demands. It is that easy. My skin feels smooth, my hair is healthier and I have also lost 8 pounds in two months."
L. Dobson

J. Waldner
"The Bodyflex AM protein shake is giving me more energy; I am outworking a 30 yr. old man at work. I also have less aches and pains&mash;my chronic back and knee problems are reduced."
T. Stadnyk
"I am a bodybuilder and rely on my Bodyflex AM for the protein, the energy that it gives me and it's ability to fill me up. I ran out of it just recently and I hadn't been able to run to the store to get more. My roommate had another protein shake at home that she was taking, so I decided to try it. I noticed that I was hungry right away and that it didn't fill me up - I didn't feel as good as I do when I am on the Bodyflex. I had to go out and buy more Bodyflex because there was no way I was going to try the other protein stuff again. I could definitely notice the difference when I started taking my Bodyflex again."

Recipes
"Dr. Bohemier's" Breakfast Smoothie
Start with a good blender; add one tablespoon each of organic flax and hemp seeds, one teaspoon of organic chia seeds, and 1 - 2 cups of high antioxidant whole frozen or fresh low glycemic berries. I prefer a mix of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. Add 1 - 2 cups of water and ice and begin blending. Once the seeds and fruits are mostly crushed, I slow the blender speed down and add one scoop of my favorite super greens powder and one scoop (25 - 30grams) of Bodyflex AM. I let it further blend for only 5-10 seconds as blender blades can harm the structure of protein powders and should not be used except to blend or stir in the protein at a last stage of preparation.
*Tips
Consume within 20 to 30 minutes of making the smoothie
Drink sufficient water, especially shortly after consuming the smoothie to ensure good digestion and absorption
If in a hurry or choosing to consume later, place smoothie in a air tight container (preferably glass) and keep cool to minimize oxidization and degradation of the smoothie. It should be good for a few hours.
While consuming the smoothie, utilize a bit of a "chewing" motion to ensure necessary digestive enzymes are introduced into the mixture as it passes through the mouth.
Feel free to experiment with different ingredients in order to have some variety if you so choose.
Always keep your smoothie "low glycemic"
Caution:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients mentioned or to anything you may consider adding to your smoothie, please avoid using or consuming them.
If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your physician before using any of these products. Please consult a doctor or health care practitioner with any questions or concerns you might have regarding your condition.
