Want to know what lies in your future?

As part of my Nutritional Health and Wellness Coaching program I read the book The Schwarzbein Principle which I have mentioned in pasts posts.  This book was revolutionary for me because it explained in detail how we can be sick or healthy from the food we eat.  Dr. Schwarzbein is an endocrinologist which means she studies hormonal systems and her book integrates, the science of what happens in our body to the food we eat, our digestive hormones, what role the hormones play, and our stress related hormones.  From this she explains what to do to be healthy and it really made sense.  Nothing about cutting out whole food groups or unrealistic exercise programs. I instinctively felt like the book made sense not just nutritionally but also from a physical perspective. 

I have been to her website, http://www.schwarzbeinprinciple.com.  I highly recommend either her books, videos, or public lectures, she is a wealth of knowledge.  From the site you can also answer a questionnaire about your eating habits and illnesses. Based on that it can tell you if your possibly Insulin sensitive, insulin resistant, have healthy or suppressed adrenal glands, etc.  From the site you can order a testing kit for about $275-$500 that she will send you and then provide detailed analysis as well as recommend a healing plan if necessary.  If I wasn't already doing something similar with my nutritionist I would definitely do the test.

Health problems like Diabetes, Cancer, Heart disease, and Alzheimer's don't happen over night.  They are environmental, hormonal, emotional, and nutritional problems that manifest over time and go undetected until the disease has arrived.  Wouldn't it be beneficial to know if you were on track for a potential problem while there is still time to change course?  The body is not set up to self destruct it is set up to take care of itself. Even if you are sick already health can still be achieved but it's much easier to treat a potential problem with some small changes.  I recommend her site, check it out http://www.schwarzbeinprinciple.com/pgs/testing/testing_overvw_gi.html.
