A largely misunderstood issue is low calorie diets, yes technically a low number of calories in combination with exercise will result in weight loss, but the scale change will likely be from a loss of lean body mass and some brain wight.
Low Fat (Death Sentence)
Low Fat products are a terrible idea! If nature intended for the yolk to be as part of the egg then just let it be. Fat phobia is very common and misleading. Why are we recommending low fat diets when breast milk is 28-34% FAT and is the most nutritious food on earth (if the mother is healthy of course)?
Like humans animals store most of their toxins in fat tissues. I recommend consuming antibiotic, hormone free, pasture raised animal products and products their of.
Eggs should always be from free range chickens and organic, if consuming milk it should always be raw (in most places impossible to get) or atleast organic. Cream for your coffee should also be organic. This is the only time i heavily stress the idea of consuming organic sources ONLY.
Appendix, a useless organ?
I think NOT!
There is more 'good' bacteria in your body then there are cells. That bacteria is vital to your digestive system, and when it dies your appendix helps you restore it.
Sooo...appendix does in fact have a purpose in the body :)
If you have had your appendix removed, I highly recommend supplementing daily with a good ProBiotic.
My clients know that I have extremelly high standards when it comes to nutrient therapy. A favorite brand of mine that has an excillent reputation for producing quality productsis is Genestra.
Start with a mild pro biotic of theirs and progress gradually.

Do You Have High Blood Pressure?
Does Your Physician have you on medication for hypertension?
Research shows that high blood pressure is linked to insulin resistance, heavy metal toxicity (do you have silver fillings?) and extremely low Vitamin D levels.
My advice to you is to find a physician that can asses for all of the above and will treat the cause and not just the lab numbers!
What is...hypertension?
Let's cut the scientific mumbo jumbo. Hypertension (blood pressure) occurs when blood travels through the arteries at an elevated pressure.

Ruslan is from my stand point worth every dollar. He is the industry leader here in Ottawa! He will change your outlook on life as well as get your life back on track. It's not just getting training and going home; it's like he says, “A "lifestyle change" which begins with your foundation principles.” That is what we all need at times in this toxic and stressful world. I would recommend Ruslan to anyone who needs help with diet, training or any problems you may have regarding health. Thank you so much Rus for everything!
Ruslan is a first class trainer. As a chiropractor, I often work with complicated cases, and it is sometimes difficult to find qualified practitioners to work with. Ruslan has shown over and over that he has an extremely impressive knowledge base. I would refer even the most complicated cases to him.
In working with Ruslan Kedik I not only achieved, but exceeded my personal health and fitness goals. Ruslan helped me train, compete and win my first ever figure competition.
