The Disease Processes:

This issue is without a doubt the cornerstone of my book.  This is essentially what seperates this book, this program of weightloss, health, and lifestyle from everything most of you have already tried.  The simple fact is that in this book I break down the top disorders into easy to understand terms. This allows the reader to be able to look at how they feel, go through their family history and see if what they are reading matches up with what I have written as to why they have such a battle with weight gain.  Here are just a few of the conditions that are covered:

• Early stages of diabetes when the lab work may still look deceivingly normal
  • why your blood sugars may go up and down without explanation
• Anemia
  • why you may feel tired all the time
  • been turned down to give blood because of low iron
• The Thyroid
  • feeling cold when everyone around you feels normal
  • have dry skin, or puffiness around the eyes
• The Adrenal Glands
  • seem to heal very slowly
  • get sick often
• Hormone Levels associated with menopause in women and androgens in men
  • hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido in women
  • slow recovery from exercise, sexual dysfunction, low libido in men

These are some of the main culprits that tend to slip through the medical screening as they relate to gaining and losing weight.  Actually I'm being quite kind when I say slip through.  The fact is that most of these disorders are not tested for and looked at in an effort to zero in on helping a man or woman lose weight.  That makes little difference since you will be given many of the easy to understand symptoms and then subsequently self evaluate to a degree and become better qualified to take your healthcare into your own hands.  In saying this I mean be able to walk into your doctors office and know which lab studies you need secondary to the fact that you definetly meet the majority of the symptoms I have listed for a particular disorder.  And yes you will have a list of the labs that need to be ordered so you know for sure you will get an answer.
