Find Out If You Too Are At Risk

Want to know what your real odds are of hav­ing a heart attack? How about a stroke? Diabetes?

Okay, this isn’t sound­ing like a pos­i­tive let­ter… but hang in there. It gets a lot bet­ter and more positive.

I was hav­ing lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry’s upcom­ing book is a must-read. I will let you know when she’s ready to release it. Since Sherry has been here vis­it­ing me in Dal­las I have learned SO much about nat­ural food prepa­ra­tion and what really causes disease.

Our con­ver­sa­tion took a turn to “doctor’s tests.” I think most of them are worth­less, some are vital. It’s impor­tant to know the difference.

I’m going to give you the three tests you absolutely must take if you want to help ensure your future health in a moment.

But first, let me give you Sherry’s argu­ment to my third test.

Yes, we nutri­tion­ists argue some­times.

I’ll let you decide. But sta­t­i­cally it’s far more accu­rate than any blood test… and get this: You can do it at home for free.

So far, are you still with me? Good. I’m going to go in reverse order, third test to last…

The third test is sim­ply this:

Mea­sure your waist­line. Use a tape mea­sure and do not pull it tight. Mea­sure right below the navel.

Write down that num­ber in inches.

Then mea­sure your height out of shoes in inches. Write that down too.

If your waist in inches is more than twice your height you are FOUR TIMES more likely to have heart disease.

Four times. That’s more pre­dic­tive than cho­les­terol tests by far. And a lot less expen­sive to boot.

Don’t just read about this test — DO IT. I’ll give you some­thing you can do ABOUT it if you fail this test in a sec­ond. The great news is that this is one fac­tor that is totally within your control.

Test num­ber two: Know your SED rate. This is an inflam­ma­tory marker in the blood.

Test num­ber one: Know your hsCRP and LP(a) lev­els. Both of these can be done as one test usu­ally. Both are inflam­ma­tory mark­ers as well as key indi­ca­tors of heart health.

Go to your doc­tor and ask for these three blood tests. Usu­ally they can be done all at once. Some­times they are sep­a­rate, but they are all crucial.

If you are thin and look healthy, lis­ten to this: You too can be Lance Arm­strong or Jim Fixx and not know it.

Lance and Jim looked like two of the health­i­est men on the planet. Lance beat tes­tic­u­lar can­cer but came within an inch of his life. Jim died after a short jog of a heart attack very young in life.

Looks can be deceiving.

This is Sherry’s argu­ment — and she’s totally correct.

That’s why I give you THREE (well, actu­ally four) TESTS.

You see, it’s vir­tu­ally impos­si­ble to have a nor­mal SED rate, a nor­mal hsCRP level and a nor­mal LP(a) level and be at immi­nent risk for any of these killer diseases.

Pos­si­ble, per­haps — but almost not.

So, if you look healthy and feel like a bazil­lion bucks, you still need to know your lev­els of these inflam­ma­tory markers.

If you are over­weight or obese, you totally absolutely MUST do the waist/height test as well as the others.

You see, it goes both ways.

Some obese folks test out okay at the doc’s office. Their cho­les­terol, blood pres­sure, and all typ­i­cal read­ings are okay. Rarely does a doc run an hsCRP or LP(a). And rarely do they run a SED rate.

See the impor­tance here?

Both the fit and the unfit can be at dire risk and not even know it.

Now, here’s the solution:

A low-inflammatory nutri­tion and train­ing plan, along with plenty of stress-free time. I can help you with the first two things.

The third thing — destress­ing — is up to you. You may want to spend 30 min­utes a day doing yoga, walk­ing, med­i­tat­ing, pray­ing, or what­ever calms your MIND and BODY down.

Check it out: Lance and Jim were both doing insane amounts of exer­cise, so much that they demanded insane amounts of high-inflammatory foods. Foods like processed car­bo­hy­drates for example.

And they both got sick. One of them died.

My good friend Dr. Steven Chase believes that 85% of can­cer is pre­ventable. Re-read that: 85%. And he’s an oncol­o­gist — a can­cer doctor.

And you know heart dis­ease is 95% pre­ventable or did you?

But all of these killers, espe­cially dia­betes, demand a low-insulin, low-inflammatory nutri­tion and exer­cise plan.

Lance and Jim had sky-high inflam­ma­tory lev­els from all that exer­cise. It was lit­er­ally TOO much exer­cise. That’s why so many marathon­ers die of heart attacks. They eat inflam­ma­tory foods and engage in high-stress exer­cise for too long of a time.

So, what’s the answer?

1. Short work­outs that are intense, effec­tive, and enjoy­able. Weights and car­dio both, or in-home resis­tance work­outs will work fine.

2. Longer “soft” work­outs like brisk walk­ing that helps destress the body and burn more body fat.

3. A nutri­tion plan that allows for your favorite foods at the RIGHT TIME of the day but also helps you burn body­fat with­out acti­vat­ing your body’s stress-producing hor­mones like cor­ti­sol, cool.

Most nutri­tion plans are stress­ful. Big mis­take. Stress can cause you to hold on to body­fat. Plus stress causes inflammation.

Most work­out plans are either too easy or too intense for too long a period of time. My Sys­tem is super-short (7–14 min­utes a day, plus walks when you can.) This is enough to build all the mus­cle you need plus burn body­fat when com­bined with the nutri­tion plan.

My System’s nutri­tion plan is ideal if you are will­ing to “diet” for a day or two, then enjoy a day of eat­ing “nor­mal” foods.

Hey, no one is per­fect. Any­one who has half a brain should know that not very many peo­ple (myself included) are will­ing to do with­out their favorite foods forever.

That’s silly — and it’s not nec­es­sary to burn bodyfat.

In fact, my Sys­tem ‘demands’ that you eat these foods at cer­tain times TO BURN MORE BODYFAT!

Wild, isn’t it?

It’s the Sys­tem I’ve used for years. It’s the com­bi­na­tion of two books: 7 Minute Mus­cle + Every Other Day Diet

Get them both for one low price…Helps you pass the tests. Any of the three Upgrade Kits come with both books, a full year of sup­port on the Every Other Day Diet group Forum, and so many bonuses I can’t list them all. This combo is some­thing I am so very proud to share with you.

It’s the ulti­mate Sys­tem for low­er­ing body­fat, increas­ing lean mus­cle, low­er­ing insulin, low­er­ing inflam­ma­tion, and ensur­ing your health.

Whether you are in shape or obese, this sys­tem is one that will work for you — 7 Minute Muscle.
