A New You in the New Year posted on January 1, 2016 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Did you make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight? Here are some simple tips to start you on the road to a New You in the New Year.

It is true that you are what youeat. To lose more weight this year you need to stop eating fat storing foods and eat fat burning foods. Getting your metabolism to work efficiently is also important in weight loss.

Having an efficient metabolism means correctly digesting foods, and burning stored body fat for fuel. Food digestion requires the proper combination of digestive enzymes produced by the stomach, liver and pancreas. Failure to digest efficiently results in the undigested food being stored as unwanted body fat.

 

Sugar is a fat storing food. Sugar is hidden in all processed and man-made foods. Sugar is the product of all carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include fruits, vegetable and grains. Your body converts natural and man-made foods like potatoes, corn, pop, fries, chips, breads, pasta, cakes, candies, juices and cookies into sugar. Eating more sugar in the form of carbohydrates than your body needs will cause you to gain weight.

Your body needs 80-100 grams of carbohydrates daily for fuel. Carbohydrates are the kindling to the fire. The body burns them quickly and then burns the slower burning fuel, fat. The body cannot burn stored fat when carbohydrates are eaten too frequently.

The average American consumes between 300-600 grams of carbohydrates daily, or 1-3 cups of sugar. What the body cannot process or use, it will store as excess body fat around your waist, hips and thighs. To lose weight, look for the hidden sugars and eliminate them from your diet.

Read what one former TLC Holistic Wellness patient had to say after visiting Dr. Yale.

"From the moment I met Dr. Yale, before she even adjusted or tested me, I knew this was going to be a great experience and that I was finally going to be back to getting the care I needed. Dr. Yale welcomes her patients with open arms. She is willing to take the time to really listen to what her patients have to say so that they can work together to get to the root of the issue.

Her chiropractic adjustments and nutrition testing are as close to Dr. Fischer’s as I believe you can get and the care and compassion she shows her patients is second to none!

I have now been seeing Dr. Yale for about 6 months and I am 100% back to the level of health I was before Dr. Fischer left. Dr. Yale has a fantastic sense of humor, she brings an extremely personal touch to her practice, and she is the most organized holistic doctor we have met. When I go to see Dr. Yale, it is more like seeing a friend then a doctor.

To say I was ecstatic to hear that Dr. Yale would be taking over TLC Holistic Wellness is a huge understatement. I believe a lot of patients felt the same way about the care they were receiving after Dr. Fischer left TLC.

 I urge former patients to come back to TLC now that Dr. Yale is there. You will receive the level of care that kept you coming back to TLC. With Dr. Sherry Yale at the helm, the tender, loving care will now be restored to TLC Holistic Wellness." DD

What Are Antioxidants?

Posted on February 13, 2015 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

As you listen to your favorite Detroit radio station, you will hear advertisements praising the virtues of a newly discovered foreign fruit that is rich in antioxidants. You also see similar ads on the side of big Bloomfield HIlls busses. Why all the hype about antioxidants?

For Detroit folks that are unfamiliar with antioxidants: these chemicals break down or neutralize free radicals. A free radical is an unstable atom or molecule that affects cell membranes. Free radicals are produced by normal biological processes. Dr. Denham Harmon proposed in 1956 that free radicals underlie the aging process.

Not only are free radicals contributing to my wrinkles but they may make me fat!

According to Zane Andrews, PhD, a neuro-endocrinologist at Monash University. Andrews believes these molecules damage the cells that tell us we are full. As time passes these satiation sensors become weaker and our appetites become stronger.

One of the best ways to combat free radicals in Michigan is to eat a healthy diet rich in antioxidants. The Mayo Clinic suggests these antioxidant-rich foods readily available in Bloomfield HIlls grocery stores and Detroit farmer’s markets:

• Carrots, apricots and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables
• Blueberries
• Spinach and other green leafy vegetables
• Tomatoes
• Beans, peas and lentils
• Fish, especially salmon
• Nuts

There are also many powerful antioxidant herbs and nutritional supplements that are available in our office. Call (734) 664 -0339 today to schedule a no charge consultation with Dr. Solomon at TLC Holistic Wellness to determine if you can benefit from more antioxidants in your diet. 

Another excellent way Detroit folks can fight free radicals is by drinking alkaline, antioxidant rich water created by a Japanese water processor. This 40 year old company has been making these water filtration systems that have helped people slow down the aging process. One glass of this water has the same amount of antioxidants as 2 and 1/2 pounds of blueberries!

If you live in Livonia, Bloomfield HIlls, Farmington Hills, Novi or the Detroit area and would like to sample this water contact Dr. Fischer by phone (248) 382-8668 or email drfischer@tlcholisticwellness.com.

Stop Buying Bottled Water 

Posted on September 8,20141 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer

Attention all Novi, Bloomfield Hills, Farmington, Livonia and other  bottled water drinkers: there is a better way to support our personal health and Michigan's beautiful landscape and lakes. 

Our body is 70% water, so the type of water consumed definitely influences health, as well as our Michigan environment. 

Problems With Commonly Used Waters

Tap water

Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks. But according to the Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount.

At the current levels of contamination, the public is starting to question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enough to drink. Based on these facts, it's no wonder that the demand for Kangen Water® is constantly increasing.

Reference - EWG

 The best-selling bottled waters in Livonia like Fiji, Dasani, and Aquafina are not as pure as you might believe. Many brands of bottled water available in Detroit actually come from municipal water sources from the Detroit River.

Bottled water

Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yet it costs much more! Although associated with healthy water, bottled water is not guaranteed to be any healthier than tap water. Often the only difference is the added minerals which have no proven health benefits.

A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can also be slightly acidic, which may affect your body's pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.

Reference - NRDC | Contaminants Found in Bottled Water

Reverse osmosis water

Reverse Osmosis is a filtering process which may be effective in areas that do not receive municipally treated water and is commonly used in bottled water facilities. The problem with this process is that dangerous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine are molecularly smaller than water and can pass freely through the filter. Reverse osmosis removes healthy, naturally occurring water minerals. These minerals not only provide good taste, they also serve a vital function in the body's system. When stripped of these minerals, water can be unhealthy. Also, 2-3 gallons of water are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced.

Enagic USA manufacturers Kangen Healthy Water machines that transform your Bloomfield HIlls, Farmington HIlls, Livonia, Novi and all city tap water into healthy alkaline water.

Michigan bottled water drinkers buy a disposable container that clogs Detroit landfills. The bottles that never make it to Michigan landfills clutter Livonia streets, Bloomfield HIlls sidewalks, and Novi, Farmington Hills and others parking lots.

Cleaning up our beautiful Michigan communities is a great reason to create your own healthy Kangen water® using your Bloomfield HIlls, Farmington HIlls, Livonia, Novi and city tap water, but your family’s health and well-being is equally important. You can process your own water with this device, turning tap water into the best drinking water for our health. 

Call TLC Holistic Wellness today (734) 664 - 0339 to learn why Kangen's alkaline water is the healthiest water for Michigan water drinkers, and how you can try this water FREE for 30 days. Call (734) 664 - 0339 to find out when you can get some of this healthy water.
