Trainings

We have been busy getting ready for our trainings this year! Our July 2009 five day training in Salt Lake City was unique, super fun and very informative. We had many of our Feature accounts attend for the annual feature round table (picture above). Throughout the training, we had some of our top feature accounts talk about how and why their spa and wellness centers are so successful. We also had some fabulous organic live food catered for lunch by Omar’s Rawtopia, Utah’s only raw food restaurant. Omar himself gave an entertaining talk about why raw food is so healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Our trainings provided ample information on Detoxification, Supplementation, Weight Management, Wellness, Candida, Fibromyalgia, Natural Hormone Therapy, Cellulite and Body Contouring, Holistic Skin Care, Marketing, Consultation Training, and Much More. The Salt Lake City trainings are specifically unique in the fact that it is located at our corporate offices where all of our staff is involved in teaching the segments they specialize in. It’s a lot of good information and a ton of fun. There’s even a yoga session included!

The Dangers of Fluoride

I love love love the internet and think it is an amazing resource for information. I feel that every individual should have the opportunity to be informed and educated on the topics that interest them most and the internet is perfect for this! Of course you know that at M'lis we are always interested in new ways to help keep our bodies healthy and how to best avoid those things that can contribute to unnecessary disease or suffering. One of my most recent topics of interest is the debate over fluoride and how becoming overexposed can damage our health.

I speak with many people who are suffering with thyroid problems everyday. We know that our thyroid needs iodine to function properly and when we encounter a deficiency of iodine in our diet we can begin to experience increasingly more common thyroid disorders. Interestingly enough, our thyroid searches for this iodine in our body, when there is none to be found it will absorb fluoride and chlorine which most people are exposed to on a regular basis. I enjoyed this short video clip and think that it gave a good visual on what can happen to our bodies including our hormones when we get exposed to these toxins. I hope you enjoy this video, and as always please keep in mind that the M'lis company does not necessarily endorse or agree with everything in this clip.

New Year, New Goals... Same Results? Not this Year!

Have you wondered why even though you feel like you are doing everything that you are "supposed" to do, and stopped everything are aren't "supposed" to do, you are stuck looking and feeling the same?

Cutting out fructose while ingesting 100% nutrition may be the key!



Dr. Elizabeth Parks who is an associate professor of clinical nutrition at UT Southwestern Medical Center said the following regarding her study published in Science Daily:

"Our study shows for the first time the surprising speed with which humans make body fat from fructose … Once you start the process of fat synthesis from fructose, it's hard to slow it down … It's basically sneaking into the rock concert through the fence. It's a less-controlled movement of fructose through these pathways that causes it to contribute to greater triglyceride [i.e. fat] synthesis.”

Something that makes avoiding this more difficult for those who are looking to eat healthier is that fructose is in many diet foods and even many health foods!! Thanks to Dr. Mercola for this fabulous information. Below are some dangerous facts about Fructose:

-When you eat 120 calories of glucose, less than one calorie is stored as fat. 120 calories of fructose results in 40 calories being stored as fat. Consuming fructose is essentially consuming fat!

-The metabolism of fructose by your liver creates a long list of waste products and toxins, including a large amount of uric acid, which drives up blood pressure and causes gout.

-Every cell in your body, including your brain, utilizes glucose. Therefore, much of it is “burned up” immediately after you consume it. By contrast, fructose is turned into free fatty acids (FFAs), VLDL (the damaging form of cholesterol), and triglycerides, which get stored as fat.

Now is the time to detoxify, cut out damaging foods (especially fructose) and become the new you!!

We'd love you to share your tips on cutting out fructose from your diet, and also foods that you have found it in! Email them to ebagley@mlis.com and they will appear in our comments section
