More Than Just Weight Loss

More Than Just Weight Loss

7 week comprehensive program Weight gain, obesity and the challenges that arise from this fundamental imbalance is a significant cultural challenge for many of us and is truly at an epidemic proportion. Look at some simple stats in regard to weight gain. Obesity is common, serious and costly:

• More than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese
• More than 1 in 3 adults are considered to be obese
• More than 1 in 20 adults are considered to have extreme obesity
• About one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be overweight or obese
• More than 1 in 6 children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be obese
• Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death
• The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008 U.S. dollars; the medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight. Obviously these figures are much higher today!

Overweight and obesity are risk factors for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and other health problems such as those listed below.

• Type 2 diabetes
• Inflammation
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (excess fat and inflammation in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol)
• Osteoarthritis (a health problem causing pain, swelling, and stiffness in one or more joints)
• Some types of cancer: breast, colon, endometrial (related to the uterine lining), and kidney
• Stroke

One of the most astounding facts for those that are overweight or obese is not the weight gain itself. It is tied into the other significant challenges this creates with inflammation, liver function, immune function and gut/brain function. This is why we refer to this 7 week program as "More Than Just Weight Loss." With this program you are not only addressing weight loss but also the other underlying components that will keep long term weight out of reach for most. Well, this is where the “More Than Just Weight Loss” program comes in!  Here are the documented results of the last program we ran for clients throughout the United States.

• Symptom reduction of 70% *
• Average weight loss of 11.5 pounds *
• Average loss of inches in the waistline of 2.64 inches *
• Every time we run this program at least one participant has lost over 30 pounds in 6 weeks*
• See testimonials below

While the weight and inches lost is nice, the most astounding result to me is the significant drop in severe symptoms. An approximate drop of 70% in severe symptoms is unbelievable but true. This truly can change your life! What’s important to recognize about this program is that it is not only a weight loss program. The “More Than Just Weight Loss” program addressed the chronic inflammatory state, the triggers for this state and also the feedback loops that continue the chronic inflammatory states, liver function, gut/brain function and immune function. Most often weight loss programs fail miserably because they do not address the common triggers for weight gain but there is one other area that is so misunderstood. Once you have developed obesity which leads to chronic inflammation, the inflammation itself potentially creates four different feedback loops as described below.

Feedback loop one:

• Increase in fat cell production
• Insulin resistance
• Insulin surges
• More inflammation

Feedback loop two:

• Tight junction breakdown
• Leaky gut
• Immune activation
• More inflammation

Feedback loop three:

• Suppression of cytochrome P450
• Hepatic (liver) biotransformation
• Activated liver end products
• Add environmental triggers and…
• More inflammation

Feedback loop four:

• Immune cell activation
• Cytokine release
• Self-amplifying loop
• More inflammation

Notice the feedback loop number one above. Obesity triggers a chronic inflammatory response which in turn triggers obesity. And round and round we go! On top of this, chronic inflammation can also lead to an immune system dysregulation which over time can lead to multiple chemical sensitivities, which I see in my clinic on a regular basis and one more area of significant challenge. This is the fact that immune dysregulation can turn off apoptosis, which is a process of cellular suicide. Simply put in the process of apoptosis, when a cell in our body becomes a “broken” cell, this cell is designed to die. If apoptosis is “turned off” by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation, this “broken” cell becomes another cell, and another, and another; eventually leading to the development and diagnosis of cancer. I often refer to this chronic inflammatory condition and immune dysregulation as turning on the cancer switch.   If you’re thinking “YIKES” I am in agreement with you!   The “More Than Just Weight Loss” program includes:

"One of my goals also was to relieve my body of rotator cuff, and other inflammation, and it is doing the trick. For me, that will have a trickle down effect on other metabolic pathways that will also have positive results: this will be even better. Thanks!" ~Cheryl

"Glen Depke's program "More Than Just Weight Loss" has been a big turning point for me. It allowed me to finally get a sense of control over my health. In the program, I learned about the gut-brain connection, the absolute importance of having a nutritionally sound diet and what makes a diet nutritionally sound. Virtually all of my "less than healthy conditions" that I identified at the beginning of the program, simply disappeared or greatly diminished. The group dynamics really helped as well as the webinars and blog site. I've been able to carry forward most of the healthy practices since the program ended. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in excellent health and living life to the fullest." ~Katherine

  "I was one of the fortunate ones that got to participate in Glen Depke's program. Glen had previously done the program and had reported amazing results! I was excited when he decided to do the program again and invite those of us who were interested. Years of self- medicating my adrenal fatigue with sugar and caffeine were going to be a challenge to break away from. At this point...I really felt my life depended on it. The diet restrictions involved in the program are do-able!! The supplements become a routine. The first few days I did experience some mild withdrawal symptoms from the caffeine. But, after that I felt great!! My favorite part of the program was the 24/7 blog we had access to. Here we could share our triumphs and mishaps. Ask any questions we may have. Share recipe ideas. I'm such a creature of habit it was nice to read about others more adventurous in trying new things. If I needed encouragement someone was always there to offer a word of advice. If someone else was struggling, I could provide support. We could offer motivation to those who needed it and share, together, as we all made amazing progress throughout the program. Glen was ever present with his knowledge, advice, insight, positive attitude and guidance. The weekly information webinars were educational and helped to keep us focused and motivated throughout the program. By the end of the 6 weeks I couldn't believe the changes that I had experienced! I lost 12 lbs! My acid reflux was gone! I was able to wean off all hormone supplements and sleep aides! With the improvement of my sleep...my energy level increased. And most important to me, the joint and back pain I had been experiencing was gone!! Would I recommend this program...HECK YES!!! No matter where you are with your health and weight...you will benefit. This program was definitely much more than I had hoped it could be!!! Thank you Glen for putting this wonderful program together for us!" ~ Kit
