Foreword
The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus
At the Center for Natural and Integrative Medicine, we believe the best approach to your health is an integrative one, giving you the benefits of both natural and conventional medicine to restore optimal health and balance.
Wendy Chant and I share this philosophy with our clients and patients, respectively, and have been sending referrals to one another for years. When I have a patient who expresses a need for more movement or dietary discretion in his or her life, my first thoughtand recommendationis Wendy. When she has clients whose needs go beyond mere physical and dietary changes, she sends them to me, so I can restore their hormonal balance. This way, her clients and my patients can achieve maximum balance for cellular health.
Life is all about equilibrium; at least, thats the view that Wendy and I share. Wendys philosophy is based on balancing what you eat and how you move. In Crack the Fat-Loss Code, she introduced the idea that creating a sense of balance in the body was essential to restoring the proper levels of fat and muscle. In this new book, she focuses on how what you eat and when you move create a new sense of balance designed to readjust your metabolism for life.
Conquer the Fat-Loss Code speaks to more than just weight loss or physical fitness; it speaks to the daily balance that must exist within the bodys cells to provide maximum health benefits. This book accomplishes what Wendy and I both try to do in our private practices: build a bridge toward wellness.
Many people might see this as just another diet book, but to do so would be to miss out on most of its benefits. In this volume, Wendy shares groundbreaking information about how your body needs, digests, and uses the food you eat. The body is full of complex pathways, delivery routes, organs, and systems that defy description. Wendy shares both essential information and the routines to help you understand how important it is to incorporate physical fitness with nutrition for fat loss.
Her program goes beyond weight loss or muscle building; everything she writes about is carefully designed to promote function and balance within each of the bodys millions of cells. When cellular balance is achieved, you have more control over your bodywhether to lose weight; get in shape; or simply balance all the areas of your body, mind, and soul.
We are all born with genetic factors that influence our lives. Many people feel they are doomedor at least definedby these factors, but it is my philosophy that genes affect only 20 percent of how we live; the other 80 percent is determined by the daily choices we make when it comes to things like nutrition, fitness, lifestyle, and more.
We all want beautiful, radiant skin; a smaller waist; and optimal health, but if we dont have the proper diet and exercise program, these results cant exist.
