Optimum Solutions, LLC

What if you had a part of your body that was responsible for creating good energy levels, helped you to maintain your weight, balanced your moods, helped you to sleep well at night, prevented allergy issues, kept your immune system strong to fight off invaders, handled inflammation and pain in your body and helped fight off the ravages of aging....

Well there really is a single part of your body that does all that... Now I assume you would want to take great care of it... right?

Guess what... it's YOUR ADRENAL GLANDS!

Here's the deal... of all the "systems" in your body, the hormonal system is the most important. Why? Because it helps to balance and regulate all the other systems!

Hormones are the chemical messengers... they carry their messages by moving through the blood stream from one body part to another. If you could envision your body as a large high-rise office building.... with tons of administrative assistants (hormones) running up and down the hallways (blood stream) and delivering messages to each main office (organs, other systems, etc.) and all working smoothly and in harmony then you would envision a healthy body with a strong immune system and great energy.

Now envision that same high-rise office building with some administrative assistants taking a nap in the afternoon (lowered hormones), some of them not showing up for work at all (depleted hormones), some of them fighting in the hallway (possible autoimmune process), some just running around totally confused (excess hormones).... well... you get the idea? You'd be envisioning an unhealthy body with high blood pressure, intestinal problems, aging fast, gaining weight, not resting well, filled with allergies and having tons of fatigue, possible autoimmune diseases, sleep problems, brain not functioning well, hot flashes, and the list goes on and on...

Every client that comes to us is showing signs of the last scenario!

What's the FIRST thing that they need to do?

Get tested properly for their hormone levels... some times this might be rather extensive by testing all the adrenal hormones as well as thyroid hormones... we use the new gold standard of SALIVA testing for adrenal hormones and still use the serum blood testing for the thyroid. When testing we check the following: estradiol, progesterone, Dhea, Testosterone, Cortisol (with saliva testing) and Free T3, Free T4, TSH and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (with serum blood test for the thyroid).

What's the SECOND thing that needs to be done?

What's the THIRD thing that needs to be done?

Avoid and truly eliminate GLUTEN (the main protein in wheat) from your diet! I certainly can't say that 100% of the time this will resolve all your problems... but in more than 90% of the cases this is a HUGE factor and it's also the single hardest thing for most people to do.

You see... GLUTEN actually affects your adrenal glands by literally stressing the glands to such a degree that they cannot work properly... thereby creating a situation where the hormones ("administrative assistants") are now not "coming to work"! Gluten in the diet can create an inflammatory reaction and an immune response in the intestinal area and the whole body's reaction to that is STRESS - so now the adrenal gland hormones are "stressed". Gluten creates a situation in the body for most people that literally demands a constant anti-inflammatory response.

Let me ask you this... do you suffer from some level of constant inflammation somewhere in your body? Arthritis, allergies, burning muscles, aches and pains, indigestion, headaches?

GLUTEN stresses our immune systems, our ability to absorb nutrients, and creates constant inflammation in the body. When this keeps occurring daily from ingestion of GLUTEN foods then the body's only defense to this constant attack of inflammation is with a hormonal response... our poor little bodies have no other choice. This ends up literally wearing out our adrenal glands and they become exhausted... (same way YOU feel!).

Now you can certainly do a gluten sensitivity blood test ... but I'm going to save you some money on that... you simply don't need to bother... instead... eliminate gluten from your diet for 2 weeks! I'm only going to ask you to do this for 2 weeks. But I mean TRULY ELIMINATE it... no cheating allowed or it won't work!

First thing most clients tell me is, "THERE'S NO WAY! GLUTEN IS IN EVERYTHING!" And they are almost right. That's the point... it's in almost everything you eat! So you have to make a lifestyle change ... but only for 2 weeks... I can guarantee you that you will see a HUGE difference... and if you go back to eating the way you were eating... you'll notice a bigger difference. And then you'll be able to choose how you want to feel!
