Over the Summer, I posted that up to 80% of what you put on your skin finds its way into your bloodstream. Keep that in mind when you put on your deoderant and cologne- which are loaded with chemicals and metals. People typically put cologne on their neck and DO under the arms. Both places are home to lymph node clusters. READ MORE...
The body has over 300 filtering selected white blood cells
and foreign elements. The lymph node is a component of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system moves lymph node fluid, waste substance, and nutrients through out your body bloods...tream and tissues.
Each lymph node is also an important part of your immune system. Your lymph node filters fluids, catching viruses, bacteria, and other unknown materials. Then your unique white blood cells destroy the unwanted materials. Keep this in mind when buying your DO, and try to buy natural products. With cologne, only wear when necessary and try to spray it on your clothing collar if it wont ruin the material.

Tips to finding a good trainer...
I've met far too many people that have had negative experiences with Personal Trainers. Unfortunately, I can't say that I'm surprised.
The sad truth is that the Personal Training industry isn't regulated nearly enough.
Quite literally, a person can obtain a certification to train people via the internet in matter of days if not hours.
Scary stuff. The majority of the people that choose this certification route work at the larger franchised gyms. Gyms that have a massive number of members. Often these gyms offer at least 1 free PT session to new members. This means there are thousands of people in the US at risk for serious injury everyday.
One study showed that 80% of Personal Trainers surveyed, stated that their main source of exercise and fitness information is 'fitness' magazines such as; 'Ironman', 'Muscle Mag' etc. For true fitness professionals, this is mortifying.
For two reasons: 1.) Most of those magazines are written by and for people using anabolic steroids or body builders that ingest large doses of shit supplements. Which means the volume and exercises in the programs found in these magazine are fairly insane. Put simply, magazines are not written for the average trainee.
2.) Because 80% of PTs get awful information and put it to action with new members- the new members more often than not have a bad experience with that trainer. Which means that educated professionals like myself have to work hard to undo the damage done by these hacks. Most of my initial meetings with clients are spent trying to gain their trust in the fact there are people in this industry really help clients change their lives for the better on a daily basis.
So when you join a new gym and get a free session or decide its time to get serious about your health and find a fitness professional, ask these simple questions.
How long have you been a Personal Trainer? - Obvious enough right? This is an important because even the biggest hack will pick up some useful information along the way from people who actually know what they're doing. Also, it shows a level of dedication to the industry and helping people.
What certifications have you obtained - ACSM, NASM, ACE, CHEK Institute & CSCS are some of the major players and require the trainer to spend REAL time studying and passing a very challenging test. Of course there are a few other certifications that have some value, especially some specialized certifications like the US Track & Field cert that James' possesses and the Chek Holistic Lifestyle Consultant cert that I have.
- When was the last time you attended a fitness & wellness convention/seminar or did a correspondence course?
This will help you figure out whether or not it is a priority for the trainer to stay on top of their game in an ever evolving industry. New science and information about fitness and wellness comes out on a daily basis, it is our responsibility to stay current in order to help our clients achieve their goals and more importantly keep them safe.
Do you have any testimonials from your clients? - Testimonials provide you with important information about the person you're entrusting with your body and potentially your money. You can find a few testimonials about me in older blog posts.
These are just a few tips,I hope that they help.
One last thing to note, is that if you are going to do in-home personal training - it should always be done with me or if you live in a nother state, then make sure the trainer has liability insurance.

Recent testimonial from a private client ...
What differentiates Greg from other trainers is the great rapport that he establishes with his clients while providing them with a personalized and effective training. Greg is successful in doing this because of who he is and what he believes in. From my experience and interaction with Greg, I believe that guiding others on how to best maintain and lead a healthy life is Greg’s passion and not his job.
I first heard of Greg through a friend of mine who was training with him at the same health club/gym that I belonged. I at the time had been actively working out at the gym on a daily basis but it seemed that I had reached a plateau in my workouts. I was not seeing results anymore despite keeping up with my routines. I ran everyday for 30 minutes and combined it with weight training. But, something was not working with all that gym time! I had already done several sessions in the past with a few trainers. Therefore, I was a bit reluctant to go down that path again.
Meanwhile my friend would keep telling me about how his sessions with Greg were so effective and that Greg came across as a genuine, down-to- earth person with a good sense of humor. Form was vital as my friend would keep saying to me based on what he learned. Since I was part of the same gym where Greg trained my friend, I decided to observe Greg with his clients. I noticed that he was very attentive towards his trainees, guiding and speaking to them about the routine that he had assigned. These aspects about a trainer seemed conducive towards an efficient session to me. I am aware of how other trainers just assign a workout and stand there counting the reps; to them I feel, training is a job that pays the bill and a client is a means to that end. So, combined with the positive feedback from my friend and my observation I decided to give formal training another try and signed up for a few sessions with Greg. What came out of those sessions was all the information and direction that I needed to see results and the small changes in lifestyle that I had to make to support my results.
Greg is a world of knowledge when it comes to physical training and what one needs to do to ensure that he/she is training the RIGHT way. He is incredibly personable and you will feel completely at ease in his company. I improved on my cardio and weight training while strengthening/stabilizing my core and fixing my form defects. My nutritional pattern needed a fix too as I was not eating enough and I learned to value the effectiveness and importance of warm up routines!
So, it is not about going to the gym everyday and eating less. It is about going to the gym and spending quality time in doing the right things in the proper way for the appropriate number of reps. And then going back home to ensure that you are eating and drinking enough of the right things. Greg helped me to see that and it was nice to work with someone with such a refreshing personality and a positive attitude towards life!"

What to avoid on a daily basis...
High Fructose Corn Syrup: HFCS has been linked to an increase in obesity. When the body consumes HFCS, triglyceride levels rise in the blood which affects leptin in the brain, a protein which helps regulate the intake of energy - i.e food.
When HFCS is ingested, it travels straight to the liver which turns the sugary liquid into fat, and unlike other carbohydrates HFCS does not cause the pancreas to produce insulin; which acts as a hunger quenching signal to the brain. So we get stuck in a vicious cycle, eating food that gets immediately stored as fat and never feeling full.
Hydrogenated Oils: Cannot be processed by the body; they are seen as toxins. In order to detoxify these oils and eliminate them, the liver must strip vitamins and minerals from the body otherwise used for regular body maintenance.
Trans fatty acids work to increase LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and they also decrease HDL cholesterol, which is "good" cholesterol. This means that the fats in hydrogenated oil are far more damaging than even saturated fats, which medical professionals have already determined to be harmful. There is also evidence to suggest that trans fatty acids may bioaccumulate in the body, because the digestive system has difficulty figuring out what to do with them. As a result, a diet high in trans fats will result in weight gain.
Consumption of hydrogenated oil has been linked with diabetes, coronary disease, and obesity in a wide number of scientific studies
Sodium Benzoate:
•As more people become aware of the chemicals they put into their bodies when they eat processed foods, food preservatives have come under increasing scrutiny. These chemical additives serve the important purpose of stopping the growth of bacteria and fungi which could cause illness if left unchecked. Unfortunately, the dangers of food preservatives are becoming increasingly recognized. One unhealthy preservative that's received recent attention is sodium benzoate.
Sodium benzoate is a commonly found preservative in such food and drink products as fruit juice, soft drinks, coffee flavoring syrups, as well as a variety of condiments. Although the FDA has previously classified sodium benzoate as a safe preservative, this classification is now being questioned. It appears that sodium benzoate forms a chemical known as benzene when in the presence of vitamin C. Benzene not only causes damage to DNA, the genetic material, it's also a known carcinogen and appears to play a role in a variety of diseases due to it's DNA damaging capabilities.
Another reason sodium benzoate may be considered an unhealthy preservative is its effect on children. Some studies have shown that sodium benzoate along with artificial food colorings can cause children with ADHD to be more hyperactive. This can be a particular problem for kids who consume soft drinks on a regular basis since most carbonated beverages have sodium benzoate as a preservative. Because of increasing awareness of this problem, Coke is planning on removing this unhealthy preservative from its soft drink products this year.
Because the conversion of sodium benzoate to benzene occurs in the presence of vitamin C, this unhealthy preservative may be particularly unsafe when used in fruit jellies, jams, and fruit juices where high vitamin C fruits are present. It's also thought that heat plays a role in the conversion to benzene, so heating products containing this preservative could increase the risk of negative health effects.
Unfortunately, many of the preservatives used in common food products have raised health concerns although sodium benzoate appears to be under the most scrutiny right now. To reduce your risk of exposure, read nutrition labels closely and avoid products that contain sodium benzoate, which can also be listed on the label as E211. Be particularly careful to avoid buying products high in vitamin C that have this unhealthy preservative and never put any product containing sodium benzoate under heat. To avoid the dangers of food preservatives entirely, avoid processed and packaged foods and make your own fresh items at home.
Aspartame: The components of aspartame can lead to a number of health problems, as you have read. Side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions
According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don’t relieve their symptoms. Then, there are users who don’t ‘appear’ to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP.
Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:
Eye
blindness in one or both eyes
decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision
pain in one or both eyes
decreased tears
trouble with contact lenses
bulging eyes
Ear
tinnitus - ringing or buzzing sound
severe intolerance of noise
marked hearing impairment
Neurologic
epileptic seizures
headaches, migraines and (some severe)
dizziness, unsteadiness, both
confusion, memory loss, both
severe drowsiness and sleepiness
paresthesia or numbness of the limbs
severe slurring of speech
severe hyperactivity and restless legs
atypical facial pain
severe tremors
Psychological/Psychiatric
severe depression
irritability
aggression
anxiety
personality changes
insomnia
phobias
Chest
palpitations, tachycardia
shortness of breath
recent high blood pressure
Gastrointestinal
nausea
diarrhea, sometimes with blood in stools
abdominal pain
pain when swallowing
Skin and Allergies
itching without a rash
lip and mouth reactions
hives
aggravated respiratory allergies such as asthma
Endocrine and Metabolic
loss of control of diabetes
menstrual changes
marked thinning or loss of hair
marked weight loss
gradual weight gain
aggravated low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
severe PMS
Other
frequency of voiding and burning during urination
excessive thirst, fluid retention, leg swelling, and bloating
increased susceptibility to infection
Additional Symptoms of Aspartame Toxicity include the most critical symptoms of all
death
irreversible brain damage
birth defects, including mental retardation
peptic ulcers
aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets
hyperactivity in children
severe depression
aggressive behavior
suicidal tendencies
Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause the following illnesses:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Epstein-Barr
Post-Polio Syndrome
Lyme Disease
Grave’s Disease
Meniere’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease
ALS
Epilepsy
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
EMS
Hypothyroidism
Mercury sensitivity from Amalgam fillings
Fibromyalgia
Lupus
non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.
Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.
Ever gone to the doctor with real, physical symptoms, but he/she can’t find the cause? Well, it’s probably your diet, your environment, or both.
Aspartame is the common denominator for over 92 different health symptoms at the root of modern disease. The Aspartame Detoxification Program demonstrates the most effective way to reverse disease symptoms is removing the underlying cause - aspartame.
When HFCS is ingested, it travels straight to the liver which turns the sugary liquid into fat, and unlike other carbohydrates HFCS does not cause the pancreas to produce insulin; which acts as a hunger quenching signal to the brain.
