This goes beyond gas, bloating and diarrhea&#8230; Your digestive system, commonly known as the body&#8217;s &#8220;second brain&#8221;, is interconnected with the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.

		<title>FDA Official: Non-Prescription hCG is a Fraud!</title>

		<description><![CDATA[HCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Supporters claim HCG is a weight-loss miracle when combined with a 500-calorie-a-day diet.

But according to a top FDA official, as told to USA Today, "Retail versions of a popular weight-loss aid that contain trace amounts of a pregnancy hormone are a fraud and are being sold illegally."

The FDA approves drugs made from certain homeopathic ingredients, but HCG is not one of them.

Tempe doctor Laree Hooker says there is no medical evidence that over-the-counter HCG products actually work.

"With the injectible HCG all the literature shows, that after the protocol, it basically recalibrates your metabolism for your body's new set point for your weight, and that evidence is just not present for the homeopathic version," says Dr. Hooker.

She adds that non-prescription HCG products could be dangerous.

"If people are purchasing this over the counter, they are not being evaluated by a physician, they're not having someone look at their bloodwork just to make sure that they're a healthy individual to be able to do this."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has to be one of the most taboo subjects that come up during regular sessions as we review our patients digestive health. Beside teenage boys, the discussion makes most patients blush but the importance of it can't be emphasised enough. What comes out tells me a lot about what's going in and the overall health of your digestive system. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been shown that low fat diet trends and readily available processed food that have become staples of the Standard American Diet over the past 30 years are causing increased weight gain and a obesity epidemic for many Americans.  

Additionally, stress is quickly becoming a leading contributing factor to the weight gain.  


When the body is in a state of stress – the adrenal glands produce more cortisol – a hormone which is known to increase belly fat, even despite following a proper diet. 
When the adrenal glands are taxed, they affect the thyroid gland, often decreasing its function.  
Decreased thyroid function results in a lower metabolic rate which means your body is burning fat off at a slower rate. 
Since cortisol production also utilizes the same building blocks as our sex hormones like testosterone, dhea and estrogen, high cortisol demand creates multiple imbalances, which can contribute to weight gain. 
It’s important to get these hormones balanced properly to optimize your chances of achieving long term weight loss.

Whether we like it or not - it’s important to understand that the ability to store fat is a vital protection mechanism for the body – ensuring its link to survival.

		<description><![CDATA[Even when you are sitting at rest your body is not resting. Your heart is beating, you are breathing and your body is carrying out other functions that you are unaware of entirely. Your body may be making blood cells, your kidneys may be eliminating wastes and your liver may be clearing toxic substances from your body. Your brain is burning calories as it acts as the master control center coordinating all of these activities. This is work that your body must do to keep you functioning. This work involves making new cells or tissues, breaking down old cells or tissues, or repairing and maintaining existing cells and tissues. All of this work is collectively referred to as your metabolism. It should not be surprising that this work requires energy. You are burning calories even when you sit quietly at rest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food is one of the great mysteries as well as one of the great pleasures of life. Food contains much more than vitamins and minerals and energy (calories). It contains many, many compounds that play an important role in protecting your health and well-being. Only a tiny fraction of those compounds have been identified and every year many more important compounds in food are found. Few have been studied adequately. We are just at the beginning of understanding how special compounds in fish and vegetables protect against cancer, how dietary fiber protects against cancer and heart disease, and how many other valuable compounds found only in food protect your health. Think of wholesome food as your health insurance policy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are eating an insufficient amount of food to meet your RMR, you will not be eating enough to maintain your body's functions properly. You can do this for a day or even two days without consequences. But chronic restriction of calories below the RMR is not unusual among dieters. This type of severe restriction can go on for an extended period of time (weeks or months), but NOT WITHOUT PAYING A PRICE. That price may be your health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are not always sitting at rest. Sometimes you are running, walking, playing, doing physical labor, and doing many other activities. From the perspective of your body, this is all EXTRA work over and above the work your body must do when you are resting. When you are active, your metabolic rate moves up above your resting level because you are burning more calories. Some of the work your body does is very subtle and you are hardly aware of it. When you are too hot or too cold, your body has to do work to warm you or cool you. So temperature control causes your metabolic rate to increase. When you eat food, your body does work so your metabolic rate increases. When you digest food your metabolic rate increases as you digest and absorb food. At the end of the day, your total calories burned are determined by your resting metabolism (your RMR) PLUS all of the calories your body burns to do the extra work you performed throughout the entire day.  ]]></description>
