Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411 [] March 5, 2024 [] Reader, I just read a jaw-dropping new study. It found that only 6.8% of Americans have âoptimal metabolic health.â1 As a regular reader, you know that having poor metabolic health greatly increases your risk of developing diabetes⦠heart disease⦠cancer⦠stroke⦠hypertension⦠arthritis⦠And of course, obesity. That means right now, 93% of Americans are fighting an almost impossible battle when it comes to reducing their risk for the epidemic of chronic diseases that are plaguing our country â and the world. Having a âbroken metabolismâ already afflicts billions of people on the planet. Within a matter of decades, it will see nearly every man, woman, and child in America suffer from at least one chronic disease. The good news is that this plague is stoppable. But hereâs the problem⦠Mainstream medicine has no clue how to treat it. In a minute, youâll learn how we have been fixing broken metabolisms at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine. Iâll also share the top three natural metabolism boosters you can start using today to get off the path to chronic disease and back to robust health. But first, let me tell you how we got here⦠How We Became A Nation Of âBroken Metabolismsâ If youâve been reading my letters for the last few years, you know this problem started when we were told to stop eating the traditional foods of our ancestors and switch to a âheart-healthy dietâ that was low in fat and high in processed sugar, carbs, and grains. Eating this way causes your body to massively overproduce insulin. These chronic insulin spikes overwhelm the insulin receptors in your cells, making them insulin-resistant. This results in dangerously high glucose levels â but it also overwhelms your bodyâs natural ability to produce cellular energy and fight disease. These insulin spikes also force your body to pack on the pounds through a process called lipogenesis â the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. At my clinic, Iâve diagnosed hundreds of patients with a broken metabolism. And I knew I had to do something to fix the problem⦠Thatâs why I recently embarked on one of my most ambitious projects yet â and encouraged members of my own staff to be a part of it. Today, I want to tell you about one of these volunteers. Just 3 Weeks To Weight Loss And âDoubledâ Energy Levels Like many Americans, Joel had been struggling to lose weight and regain his health for years. He went on every conventional diet out there. He spent hours every day at the gym working out with a treadmill, exercise machines, and free weights. Using these conventional methods, Joel lost 2 pounds over the course of a year. He was beyond frustrated⦠But after he started my new âbroken metabolismâ protocol, which â along with a new exercise routine and a primal diet â includes high-quality, metabolism boosting nutrients, that quickly changed. In just three weeks, Joel easily shed 10 pounds. And he was enjoying a renewed sense of energy, alertness, and stamina. In other words, his broken metabolism was healing. âIâm always ready to always go now,â Joel told me during his third week. âAnd my energy level doubled.â As Joel had experienced, exercise and diet changes donât always guarantee weight loss and health-boosting success. Thatâs why I started Joel and the rest of my volunteers on three natural metabolism boosters. These boosters have a direct impact on your bodyâs natural ability to generate energy by activating the mitochondria in your cells to generate heatâ¦which supercharges your weight loss potential. Letâs look at some of these metabolism powerhouses. 3 Natural Metabolism Boosters To Supercharge Weight Loss After years of research, Iâve identified the metabolism boosters that can help you get the most out of your diet and work out, so you can actually see the progress youâre making. Hereâs what I recommend: - Start your day with grape seed extract. As the name implies, this extract is made by drying and crushing grape seeds. While grapes are one of natureâs âhealthy desserts,â the seeds are health-supporting powerhouses. You see, grape seeds are rich in chemical compounds known as proanthocyanidins, which have powerful antioxidant properties. Research shows these compounds can alleviate oxidative stress, fight inflammation, and even help repair tissue damage. Theyâre also metabolic miracle makers. In a review published in the journal Obesity Facts, researchers noted grape seed extractâs potential as âan anti-obesity agentâ due to its ability to improve lipid metabolism, reduce fat deposition, and improve insulin resistance.2 Grape seed extract is widely available as a supplement. I recommend taking 100 mg per day. - Take the âmissing linkâ that controls cravings. This essential trace element helps the body metabolize lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. I call it the âmissing linkâ that Americans struggling with weight loss have been waiting for. In a study involving 42 overweight women, one group received a daily supply of chromium while the other took a placebo for eight weeks. After two months, researchers determined that the chromium group eliminated excessive eating habits and had fewer cravings than the placebo group.3 I recommend supplementing with 600 mcg per day. - Help increase activity with trimethylglycine. Also known as TMG or betaine, trimethylglycine is made in the human body to support liver function, cellular reproduction, and the production of carnitine â a natural substance that helps turn fat into energy. In a recent study, 23 untrained college-aged women without any prior training in resistance exercise participated in an eight-week study. Researchers observed that those who received TMG experienced significant drops in body mass and body fat percentage.4 You can increase your TMG levels by eating more beets, broccoli, spinach, and shellfish. Itâs also available as a supplement. I recommend taking 1,000 mg per day.
