“You’re only going to be as Fit n Healthy as you ask your body to be”

– Michale Hartte

Author, writer, speaker, practitioner, and coach with the ninja moves

You’re here because you know its time to get healthy.

Something inside is urging you to start cleaning up your diet and lifestyle. You may even be ready to embark on a new exercise program, replace old worn-out habits with new healthy ones, or perhaps feel the need to cleanse or detox. Ready to take your health more seriously.

You’re in the right place.

START HERE – The Fit n Healthy Reset. My philosophy to getting Fit n Healthy starts with building a solid and strong foundation, enjoying the journey along the way, and feeling proud of your accomplishments. A daily routine with healthy habits that over time lead to self-mastery. We are in need of more healthy people and I am glad you’ve taken this next step.

Did you know?

A meager 12% of Americans are considered Metabolically Healthy. Canadian stats are potentially equal to this given that the diet and lifestyle choices are to a great extent, similar.

The five metabolic measurements in this recent study included blood glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), blood pressure and waist circumference.

What’s going on?

The shocking truth to this boils down to poor nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle, and what I call looking for the ‘next shiny object’ syndrome.

Would you believe the average person walks around tired, brain fogged, bloated, constipated, riddled with painful joints, with insomnia, a loss of libido, growths on their face and body, with years accumulating toxins that are all trapped in their large amounts of adipose tissue (fat).

This big mess equals a 24/7 release of whole-body inflammatory markers zapping the life, fun and energy right out of them. And amongst all of this, they are searching for meaning, purpose, while struggling to get away from guilt and beating themselves up by day’s end.

Hoping the next day will be better. YUK!

We can do better than this! What if I said that you CAN leap out of bed with a heartfelt vigor to start your day with energy and purpose? Begin with a morning routine that sets the stage to be your best self for high performance, a feeling of wellness, and shear JOY? A body where your digestion, sleep, brain, recovery, and hormones are all working at top speed?

What if we all felt like either Batman or Cat Woman?

Strong, confident and healthy!

You can! You just need to START!

How To Prevent Cold Or Flu And What To Do If You Get It

by hartteuser Leave a Comment

Getting Sick Simply Sucks!

I can say this because that is exactly how I felt… shitty. Now that I am at the end of it, I wanted to share some information that could save you from suffering. Prevent cold or flu here.

So here it is – some useful information about how to prevent the cold or flu and what to do if you get it.

What Is A Cold?

A cold is an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus.

Common Cold Symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, congestion, fatigue and sometimes, with accompanying body aches. Basically – you feel miserable.

You don’t want to be around people and vice versa.

What Is The Flu?

The flu is also an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus.

Flu Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, fatigue, chills, sore throat, cough, runny or stuffy nose. Sometimes there is also mental confusion, ear infections or plugged ear, nausea, and vomiting.

Basically, it comes out both ends if you know what I mean!

Flu can transition into pneumonia, which is why we want to treat it right away so it doesn’t progress.

How Can I Prevent Cold Or Flu?

Prevent infection by making your body inhospitable to microbes.

The whole premise of this statement is to change the environment that supports the growth of these viruses.

As Pasteur said so infamously on his deathbed, ‘The microbe is nothing; the environment is everything.“

Your body is the environment I am referring to.

Let’s first look at factors that increase your susceptibility to infection:

Your Diet

‘You don’t GET a cold – you EAT it’!

DIET: Avoid a diet high in refined grain and sugar.

Why? Refined, heavily processed carbohydrates feed microbes and encourage them to flourish. Sugar feeds cancer and lowers your resistance to fight infection.

DIET: Check for food allergy or sensitivities.

Why? Eating foods that you are allergic or sensitive to create whole body inflammation. A key driver to all disease and illness.

Metabolic Imbalances

METABOLIC IMBALANCE: Check for Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria).

Why? Many infections enter through our mouth. Even the ones we inhale get trapped in our mucous, which is then coughed up and swallowed. These microbes need to find their way into an ‘acid’ stomach bath – which kills them.

METABOLIC IMBALANCE: Check for Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism).

Why? When you have a low thyroid, everything in the body slows down. This includes your ability to fight infections too.

Low Micronutrient Status

LOW MICRONUTRIENT STATUS: Poor immune function

Why? Your body needs to have enough zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, and selenium for a proper immune response. Being low in any one of these micronutrients sets the stage for low immune function.

LOW MICRONUTRIENT STATUS: Low vitamin D.

Why? We see more infections in the winter months than the summer partly due to lack of being outside and getting natural sunlight.

Toxicity

TOXICITY: Check for Chemical exposure.

Why? Our body uses enzymes to function. Chemicals block enzymes and inhibit function. This is ‘bad news bears’ when it comes to being optimal. Chemicals also increase inflammation, a key driver to disease.

Avoiding And Treating Infections – Take The 3 Pronged Approach

Prevent cold or flu by doing this.

#1: Make the body’s environment as inhospitable as possible for pathogenic viruses.

Eat a diet that mimics your ancestors: Meat, fish, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and berries. Enjoy on occasion fruit; whole grains, and dairy. All foods free from toxic chemicals (eaten ideally organic or spray free); and properly raised or grown.

At the very least, think about what your grandma ate and just eat that way.

Grains, nuts, and seeds should be soaked or sprouted to avoid gut irritants (known immune suppressants). My book, The Fit n Healthy Plan, The healthy diet & lifestyle plan made easy

The Fit n Healthy Plan literally walks you through step by step what an ancestral diet is and how to incorporate it into your busy life. Includes easy instructions on how to soak your grains, nuts, and seeds too.

BONUS: This plan works by balancing your body’s metabolic systems while naturally removing the unwanted toxins that contribute to modern day diseases.

Check for low stomach acid. Test yourself by clicking this link: Low Stomach Acid Questionnaire.

Check for low thyroid. Test yourself by clicking this link: Low Thyroid Test Questionnaire.

Get your micronutrient test done. Sample Micronutrient Test. Go to this link to find out how: Micronutrient Test.

Do a detox. How toxic are you? Test yourself by going here: ADP Detox Questionnaire

Stay warm. Pathogens thrive in cold environments. Heat destroys them.

Stay hydrated and drink clean water. A good rule of thumb: Consume 1 litre of filtered water for every 50 lbs of body weight. Drink away from meals.

Practice good dental hygiene. I personally think not enough attention is given to good dental practices. Dental decay is a marker symptom of other diseases and metabolic imbalances including unhealthy digestive function. Brush teeth twice daily, Remembering to floss also. Oil pulling is a strategy that I’ve been doing every morning to keep my mouth clear of pathogens.

Oil pulling, also known as “kavala” or “gundusha,” is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth on an empty stomach for 4 – 20 minutes. This action draws out toxins in your body, primarily to improve oral health but also to improve your overall health. I use coconut oil and oil pull first thing in the morning while I make my organic cup of coffee.

After I perform my morning oil pull, I scrape my tongue.

Tongue scraping also known as Jihwa Prakshalana, is the Ayurvedic self-care ritual done as an oral hygiene practice that removes bacteria, food debris, fungi, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue.

The tongue is part of the first line of defense in your immune system. Scraping your tongue prevents toxins from being reabsorbed into your body and boosts overall immune function.

Take probiotics regularly. These are of proven benefit to keep your immune system healthy. Helps to prevent cold or flu. Look for probiotic made from human strains (not animal). Check out the HMF (human microflora) probiotics by Genestra.

#2: Treat infections aggressively.

Take vitamin C to bowel tolerance Take enough that is sufficient enough to cause loose stools. This kills infectious microbes AND takes the load off the gut to allow for more energy to optimize the immune system. Look for a NON GMO source like C1000 by Genestra

Take zinc – 25 to 40 mg. The primary role of zinc is to activate over 200 enzymes with a vital role in immune function and digestion. Look for zinc picolinate by Genestra.

Take yarrow. 30 drops in a little water, 3 -4 times a day. Yarrow is traditionally used in herbal medicine to relieve fever and colds. Look for organically grown and ideally from small farms for best results. Check out this Yarrow by Jardins La Val’heureuse

BONUS: More information on yarrow can be found in my blog post How I Stopped A Cold In One Day.

Take an herbal combination for colds/flus. This is great for children who don’t like to take supplements. Easy to administer. Simply place herbal drops in water or directly in the mouth. I personally use and recommend BIO – COLD/FLU by Jardins La Val’heureuse

Try a Master Tonic

Master tonic (aka Fire Cider) is a traditional folk remedy infused with powerful anti-microbial, decongestant, and circulatory herbs and spices.

Take 1 tbsp every hour until symptoms clear.

I took Daniels formula throughout the day for 4 days and not only did I really enjoy the taste, I felt it working with every shot.

As a preventative, take 1 tbsp every day.

You can contact Daniel by clicking here Its all about the gut

Master Tonic ingredients: Garlic, Ginger, Horseradish, Turmeric, Onion, Hot pepper

Master Tonics healing properties include: Anti viral, anti microbial, and anti parasitic

Switch to a low-carb Ketogenic Diet. Avoid grains, dairy, and limit fruit. Obviously, avoid all sugar!

Allow yourself to get a temperature. Viruses are very temperature sensitive. For a body to run a fever is a good thing as this event kills pathogenic viruses. Optimal temperature is 102.3 degrees Celsius.

DO NOT SUPPRESS SYMPTOMS – THEY ARE NATURES WAY OF FIGHTING INFECTIONS.

Get outside sunshine. Sunlight on bare skin kills microbes. In fact, getting natural sunlight not only increases our vitamin D levels, but it also cleans our blood. We knew this long ago when it was used as an effective treatment for tuberculosis.

Be good and kind to yourself. It’s OKAY to take some time off and just get to bed. Rest is one of your best medicines!

Boost energy, banish cravings, balance hormones with DETOX

by hartteuser Leave a Comment

Suffering from fatigue? Crave sugar and bread? Got hormonal issues? Think detox

Look to toxins as the primary culprit. IT’s TIME TO DETOX

Detox done right, rids the body of excess toxins. Toxins that lead to inflammation.

Inflammation that drives illness.

Bottom line: Quell inflammation – heal illness.

Our health today

Lets face it – take a look around you and ask yourself, ‘Are we healthier today than a decade ago’?

Take a step back – stop and think for a moment…..

Is there an abundance of Fit n Healthy people or do these individuals stand out from the crowd?

How many people do you know suffering from Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease?

How many children are being born on the Autistic Spectrum now-a-days?

When you really take a good look at it, the sad truth is, the incidence of disease is climbing at an alarming rate.

Toxins – a known driver of disease

One of the primary reasons for illnesses today is the accumulation of toxins.

There is evidence that most disease is caused by the 80,000 to 120,000 chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis.

CNN.com reported ‘Tests reveal high chemical levels in kids’ bodies

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

So called ‘body burden‘ testing reveals industrial chemicals in humans.
Many of these chemicals harm rats, but studies on humans are preliminary
One scientist warns modern-day humans are living an ‘unnatural experiment’.

Most haven’t heard of body burden testing but it’s a hot topic among environmentalists and natural health experts who warn that the environmental toxins we come in contact with every day are accumulating in our bodies and causing all sorts of health issues.

We live in an increasingly polluted world and whether we like it or not, we are all toxic. We should be doing detox regimes to keep the body burden as low as possible.

Dr Sarah Myhill – Author of Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalitis

Toxic accumulation – the problem

Toxic accumulation occurs both from exogenous (outside our body) and endogenous (inside our body). How this affects you is all dependent on how much you’ve accumulated (body burden)

Are you Susceptible to Toxicity?

Factors that have a direct affect on your ability to remove toxins are:

Your genetic makeup (some are born ‘good detoxifiers’)
Your diet & nutritional status (do you eat ‘real food’ or from a box/fast food)
Your lifestyle & individual exposures (have you been exposed to pesticides, paints, etc)
Your history of antibiotics & medications (have you been on many medications)
Your emotional well being (do you have healthy relationships or ‘toxic ones’)
The quality of sleep & digestion (are you a solid deep sleeper and digest foods well)

How to detox your body – Start with cleaning up your organs of elimination

You are born with the ability to detox the toxins. The problem lies with how much of these toxins you are holding onto.

Toxins trapped withing the body, shut down your body’s enzymes.

Your body functions on enzymes and if not working well, your body doesn’t either.

Anyone with any health condition – no matter how small needs to clean their body. In fact, anyone now-a-days needs to detoxify to have any good level of health.

Start with cleaning out your primary organs of elimination

The liver and intestines – remove solid waste
The kidneys and urinary bladder – eliminate liquid acidic waste
The lungs – exhale gaseous waste

The Liver – Your metabolic gatekeeper

Your liver is your largest glandular organ for detox. It rests on the right side of your body, below your rib cage.

Some of your liver functions include:

metabolizes all your foods
balances cholesterol and blood sugar
creates bile to aid in digesting fats and keeps your gut free from excess pathogens
breaks down your hormones for proper use
helps filter all drugs and chemicals entering the digestive tract.

Your liver is the key to overall digestive, metabolic, immune and hormone health.

Your liver is the key to regaining your energy, losing weight, balancing hormones and removing ‘glue’ toxins (felt as mucous).

Your kidneys – The eliminator

Your kidneys are bean shaped organs, about the size of your fist and sit near the middle of your back and under your rib cage.

Some of your kidneys functions include:

process about 200 litres of blood and eliminate waste and extra water as urine.
regulate electrolytes and keep a proper pH balance
filter waste and drugs
regulate blood pressure and produce hormones

Your kidneys are the key to keeping a healthy body pH, blood pressure, and removing acid toxins (felt as body pain)

Gastrointestinal tract – The immune system regulator

Regular bowel movements (1-3 per day) is a visible sign of proper elimination. If you have problems with digestion, you are not absorbing your foods properly or detoxifying well.

Some of your gastrointestinal tract functions include:

being home to 100 trillion hard working friendly bacteria
aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients from foods
prevent infections and balance autoimmunity

Your gastrointestinal tract is key to keeping your immune system running well and you at a healthy weight.

Simple tips to cleanse your liver

Add 1/2 a fresh lemon or lime to your drinking water and drink first thing in the morning
Eat liver friendly foods: Garlic, onions, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, artichoke, beets, dandelion, eggs, turmeric, and cinnamon
Eat liver to have a good functioning liver. This is a Signature of Nature Principle.
Take UNDAS to clear the liver of toxins. Specific UNDA number compounds are specific homeopathic drops that assist your body in its own cleansing. They combine dilute forms of plants and minerals which work together to unblock the body to release the toxins from inside the cell. UNDAS are used in combinations of 3 to 5 to target the organs your practitioner determines are in need of support. See a qualified health practitioner trained in UNDAS using the method Biotherapeutic Drainage.

Simple tips to cleanse your kidneys

Drink 1 litre of filtered water for every 50 lbs of body weight. Start with 1 litre first thing in the morning and drink the remainder away from meals.
Consume properly prepared kidney beans. This is a Signature of Nature Principle.
Eat enough protein for proper nitrogen balance. An easy equation is 0.8 – 1 gram of protein X your lean body mass (for exercisers). 0.5 – 0.8 grams of protein X your lean body mass (for non exercisers). Try incorporating kidney (organ meat) for good functioning kidneys. This is another Signature of Nature Principle.
Take UNDAS to clear the kidneys of toxins. Specific UNDA number compounds are specific homeopathic drops that assist your body in its own cleansing. They combine dilute forms of plants and minerals which work together to unblock the body to release the toxins from inside the cell. UNDAS are used in combinations of 3 to 5 to target the organs your practitioner determines are in need of support. See a qualified health practitioner trained in UNDAS using the method Biotherapeutic Drainage.

Simple tips to cleanse your gastrointestinal tract

Exercise! Moving the body moves the waste products OUT and allows for good bowel movements.
Add freshly ground flax, hemp, chia, pumpkin, sunflower or sesame seeds to your foods daily for fiber.
Add 1-2 tsp or organic apple cider vinegar to half a glass of water before a meal to stimulate digestion.
Take UNDAS to clear the gastrointestinal tract of toxins. Specific UNDA number compounds are specific homeopathic drops that assist your body in its own cleansing. They combine dilute forms of plants and minerals which work together to unblock the body to release the toxins from inside the cell. UNDAS are used in combinations of 3 to 5 to target the organs your practitioner determines are in need of support. See a qualified health practitioner trained in UNDAS using the method Biotherapeutic Drainage.

I personally have been using Biotherapeutic Drainage in my Natural Health Practice for about 10 years and have found it to be one of the missing pieces to boosting energy, banishing sugar cravings, and fixing hormones.
