Wishing You a Sweet & Happy New Year. Take the Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge

/

To all of you wonderful readers,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a very sweet, happy new year.
Please listen to my new year’s greetings.
Also listen to this brief announcement to get your invite to take the Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge along with thousands of people around the globe.
By this, I mean that you’re encouraged to either kick sugar and other sweets entirely or at least cut back on your consumption of the stuff for the month of January. (And I’m also including refined carbs.)
You can learn more about the Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge on Friday, Jan. 16 at 12 noon Eastern on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show, when I’m joined by several other sugar opponents and authors, including Dr. Nancy Appleton, author of Lick the Sugar Habit, and Dr. Scott Olson, author of the new book, Sugarettes.
FYI, although I issue a 21-day challenge to readers of my book SUGAR SHOCK! and have heard from thousands of happy readers who took me up on it, I’ve never officially announced such an event.
Because I always believe in giving people credit when it’s due, I need to give thanks to Dr. Olson, a Colorado-based naturopath, whose challenge I chanced upon last week, thanks to Google alerts.
I was so impressed by Scott’s passion and commitment to giving up sugar that I decided to join him and also present a radio show with several of us sugar experts.
So join us! By the way, you don’t even have to turn your back on sugar yet. Just join us Friday, Jan. 16 at noon Eastern (or later, at your convenience) to learn why your life will be much better and healthier without sweets and refined carbs.
Also stay tuned for other exciting programs and radio shows. Hope you can join us for the first two radio shows of 2009:
Join us for the first Gab With the Gurus Radio Show of the new year on Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 3 p.m. Eastern when my guest is the acclaimed Dr. Mark Hyman, bestselling author, lecturer, practicing physician, leader in the emerging field of functional medicine and author of the fascinating new book, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First. You’re in for a real treat, because Dr. Hyman will spend one full hour with you on the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show to give you valuable information so that 2009 can be your best year yet. Not only that, but for the last third of the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show, Dr. Hyman will answer your questions. Just use the Call-In Number: (347) 426-3366
And listen to another inspiring radio show the following day to help you turn your Resolutions into Reality. My guest, the famous “Goals Guy” Gary Ryan Blair on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show on Wed., Jan. 7 at 3 p.m. Eastern, will give you valuable information so you don’t fail at meeting your resolutions again. In the meantime, check out this exciting resolutions website, which is designed to help you make your dreams come true.
In addition, I’d like to invite you to join me at the 11-part Thrive (Don’t Just Survive) in 2009 program, which will begin Wed., Jan. 7 at 5:30 p.m. Eastern. You’ll get a chance to be inspired, educated and encouraged by a Who’s Who of health, wellness and empowerment experts.

Want to Shine in 2009? Take a Fun Exercise to Fulfill Your New Year’s Resolution

/

New Year’s is a unique holiday. It’s the only holiday that celebrates the passage of time.
Perhaps that’s why, as the final seconds of the year tick away, we tend to become introspective.
Then, we wonder: How did time slip away from us?
And why did all our hopes and dreams never materialize?
Inevitably, that introspection turns to thoughts of self-improvement and the annual ritual of making
New Year’s Resolutions.
We all do it.
We swear to ourselves, “This is THE year that I’ll transform my life and fulfill my goals.”
We are determined to keep all our promises to lose weight, kick sugar, stop smoking, make more mon*ey, take more time for ourselves, find the person of our dreams or get along better with our significant other, be more patient…just fill in the blanks.
Right now, millions of people from around the world are asking themselves questions as they figure out how to make 2009 the best year of their lives.
Here’s a fun, creative exercise for you to do.
First off, think about how to surpass your potential in the New Year.
Take a minute or two noow. I’ll wait right here.
Think about your fondest wishes. What are you dying to do at long last?
Now, fill in the blanks. (You don’t even have to tell anyone what they are, unless you want to.)
In 2009, I’m finally going to _________________________!

High Fructose Corn Syrup: Dig Deeper Before Believing the New Corn Lobby Ads & Consuming the Stuff

/

Have you seen any of the TV spots, print and online banner ads that seek to convince us that high fructose corn syrup is fun to consume?
Before you believe the many new ads from the Corn Refiners Association — which is spending a reported $20 million to $30 million to convince us of its safety — I urge you to get facts from my recent Gab With The Gurus Radio Show, where I had the following guests:
Curt Ellis, director and producer for the fascinating documentary “King Corn.”
Cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., co-author of my book Sugar Shock!
Nutritionist, author and personal trainer Pedro Bastos, a colleague of Loren Cordain, Ph.D., acclaimed for his Paleo Diet.
Biochemist and food and beverage formulator Russ Bianchi, who is also chief executive officer and managing director of Adept Solutions.
Richard J. Johnson, M.D., author of The Sugar Fix: The High-Fructose Fallout That is Making You Fat and Sick (His interview is coming up.)

Lose Weight, Tone Up & Be Calm This Holiday Season — Thrive (Don’t Just Survive)

/

The holiday season is among the most stressful times of the year. Traps and obstacles galore lie in wait for you that could pack on pounds, disrupt your sanity and turn you into a stressed-out mess.
From now through the beginning of the New Year, you may worry about:
Where to find inexpensive, but great gifts for your loved ones;
How to keep from gaining weight;
How to tone up before those holiday parties;
How to ward off insistent, sugar-pushing, carb-obsessed hosts at festive gatherings;
How to keep from losing your cool with loved ones;
How to overcome the stress of the season; and
How to keep from fretting and fuming because you forgot to pack all your belongings for your visit to the family’s house, your flight is late, or you’re stalled in miles of traffic.
How you’ll have the energy and the stamina to get through it all.
How to overcome this overwhelmed feeling
How to not turn to food to just make it through the season
Because these holiday gatherings and this season can be so fraught with nerve-wracking challenges, I’m presenting a very special, four-part program starting next Monday (Dec. 8) that will feature some of the top health experts in the country.
Learn more now about the Thrive (Don’t Just Survive) This Holiday Season program.
