We are proud and excited to announce that the best has been made even better with the scientific evolution of our flagship test, the PrivaTest.

For over 12 years, Ideal Health has led the way in customized nutritional supplementation, based on sophisticated laboratory testing at Metametrix, the world-renowned functional-medicine testing facility.

As we have always promised, as science evolves, so do our test and product lines. As of June 15, 2009, we are very excited to be able to offer to our current and future Ideal Health family, the very latest in functional nutritional testing.

Here’s part two of our nutritional overview: this one’s about our product programs, how to explain them and what to call them. You can listen to it here.

I’m often asked for a summary of what the company is all about, nutritionally. Here’s a simple review in two parts. This first part talks about how our programs provide solutions to problems out there in the regular world. You can listen to it here.

Here’s the first in a series of calls going into more detail about the subject of each chapter in my book “The Silhouette Solution.” When it comes to nutrition in general and weight in particular, who is the enemy? What do they do? How do you outwit them? Click here to listen to this passionate “talk from the heart”.

I’m frequently asked how people who exercise heavily but still want to lose weight on The Silhouette Solution can adjust their caloric intake to compensate for the extra energy expended in exercise. Similar issues arise for people who are very overweight, since a larger body needs more calories just to get through the day. Click here for a 30-minute audio that describes how to adjust The Silhouette Solution for athletes and the seriously overweight. During the call, I give you some equations to calculate the calories, but to make it easier, I’ve prepared a simple spreadsheet that you can download here. Just plug in the numbers, and you’re good to go! You’ll need Excel or a similar program for the spreadsheet to work.

You saw the headlines: “Vitamins don’t work!”  ”New studies show vitamins do nothing to prevent heart disease and cancer.” It makes me angry to see the “Chicken Little” headline writers again sowing seeds of fear and confusion. So this posting is really about two things: researchers who publish unhelpful findings using faulty methods, and journalists that take the easy road and follow the party line without making even a half-hearted attempt to uncover the truth.

As participants in the Silhouette Solution approach their weight management goal, it’s important for them to understand how to “carefully calibrate” ANY type of food they might choose. Yes, you’re right: some are impossible to calibrate properly, and that’s where the choices begin. However, the good news is that there are tons of great options out there, and that’s why we didn’t call this program a diet – we called it a solution, because it IS the solution to yo-yo dieting. Click here to hear the call and understand what to do once you reach your goal weight . . . Enjoy!

Here’s a short call I did about the latest addition to the Silhouette and QuikStik lines – thermogenic, appetite modifying, mood enhancing – and caffeine free! Click here to listen. Enjoy, and spread the word!

I’ve been asked by some marketers to comment on different sweetener types and their place in the program. (more…)

Here’s the 30-minute call I did about our menopause support formula, Femerex.  As I often stress, it’s important for people to realize that we are not attempting to diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate an disease or condition – in this case menopause.  Rather, what we are doing is providing compounds that are known to support the structure and function of the body in that area. By providing these, the body can make its own decisions about how to respond. Good information for all women having trouble with the transition. Enjoy!
