Relieve Holiday Stress With Us & 3 Tips to Calm You Down

During the holidays, millions get stressed out and anxious. In fact, research shows that people overwhelmed and anxious more now than any other time of the year.
As we all know, being stressed out can lead to overeating or binging, short tempers, neglecting exercise, arguments with your loved ones and ignoring your needs.
To help you out, I’m presenting a life-changing teleseminar, Relieve Holiday Stress on Wed., Dec. 2 at 8 pm EST, with Debra Berndt, an acclaimed master of creative visualization and author of the upcoming book, Let Love In: Open Your Heart and Mind to Attract Your Ideal Partner.
Our Release Holiday Stress teleseminar on Dec. 2 at 8 pm — which is free to attend live and also available via audio replay — may help you to:
* Lose or maintain weight;
* Be happier throughout the holiday season and beyond;
* Relax around your family and friends;
* Curb your sugar cravings;
* Find love or get along better with your partner;
* Feel good about your body no matter what;
* Be calm when you’re short on funds;
* Attract money;
* Exude confidence; and
* Become the master of your life by dissolving your stresses
In addition to presenting this Release Holiday Stress teleseminar, we’re also offering 3 Tips to Calm You Down now:
1. Transform your thoughts. While you may not be able to alter your circumstances, you can change the way you think about them. For instance, when you start to get upset about about your annoying Aunt Jean, who is prying into your love life, or your cousin Cindy, who keeps urging you to try her apple pie and other sugary “goodies,” take a deep breath and interrupt your negative thoughts. Then, see these circumstances with rose-colored glasses. Your Aunt Jean and cousin Cindy are just showing that they love you. Tap into how they feel for you. Be thankful that they’re so concerned, even if the way that they show it is misguided. Now, see your situation calmly, with gratitude instead.

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

Tips to Remain Calm During Stressful Times from the Harvard Medical School

I received this wonderful guide from the Harvard Medical School on how to remain calm during stressful times. Here it is verbatim:
BOSTON–Lately, every day seems to bring a new cause for worry–the mortgage crisis, the struggling economy, rising unemployment. And on top of all that, the holiday season (a recurring source of stress) is about to begin. This constant barrage of disturbing news and emotional hurdles can have a big impact on health.
Although you won’t find the word “stress” anywhere on the list of the 10 leading causes of death in America, many highly-regarded studies link chronic stress to ailments such as heart disease, stroke and a weakened immune system.
“Stress doesn’t just make you feel tense and edgy, it can actually impair your health,” says Dr. Michael Miller, editor in chief of the Harvard Mental Health Letter.
“Thankfully, there’s plenty we can do on our own to reduce stress in our lives.” The Harvard Medical School Portable Guide to Stress Relief, a free guide offered by Harvard Health Publications, provides helpful tips on how to start.
Of course, sometimes just thinking about embarking on such a program can feel overwhelming. Don’t freeze in your tracks. Instead, follow Dr. Miller’s suggestion to start small.

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.)

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
