Why would you consider taking the time to “reset” your health?

Why would you consider taking the time to “reset” your health?

Nutrition is a key building block to a healthy life.

Maybe you feel fine. Feel good. Maybe even great! Good to hear. Everyone deserves that.

Join our upcoming next Cleanse Class with Coaching!

How important is our health? It might be the single most valuable thing we have. And the one thing that we have control over. Family, friends, security – they are also extremely important, but you cannot enjoy them unless you are in good health, right?

But for many of us we know we could:

  • Feel healthier
  • More energized
  • More focused
  • And be ready for anything!

What is a “reset” anyhow?

A reset is just what it sounds like – taking the time to change up your system to start living healthier. A good way is to start is with a “cleanse”.

What is a “cleanse” anyway?

Funny true story: I was asking my doctor about her advice on cleanses. She immediately thought of a colon cleanse. Yikes! So I had to explain in a bit more detail.

Basically, it is taking some time away from your current diet and giving your system a chance to “reset”. The typical format is to limit your diet to fruits and vegetables for a few days. Is it easy? Probably not. Is it worth it? Probably so.

With our busy schedules this can be a difficult thing to do. But giving yourself a chance to improve your health is probably worth the effort, right?

But a “cleanse” is only the first step. It can be the change you need to start eating a healthier diet.

Maybe you want to lose some weight. Have more energy. Improve your focus. You will want to use this opportunity to get on the right track with your health!

And let’s face it, if you just go back to fast food after the “cleanse”, you are going to be missing out on the chance to make a real difference in your life.

Your best chance for real success in “resetting” your health is to continue your change with a proven program that has helped others do just the same.

Join Our Next Cleanse Coaching Class

Starting each week we will be begin our next 7-day Cleanse Class with free coaching. Don’t fear going it alone. Join us to get daily reminders and a place to talk to others. And get your friends to come along too!

Sign up here and I will be emailing you all of the details.

It is a complete program with a 7-day “cleanse” and then a follow up program of healthy nutrition.

I work with a company that has just launched a 30-day challenge program. I know their products work because I have used their program to lose over 40 lbs. myself!

More Information

If you would like to know more – send me a message and we can talk. I always like connecting. After all this is “social” media, right?

Sound like something you are up for? 

It is never too early or late in life to make a difference
in your health. One of my favorite sayings is: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is right now.”

P.S. And the best part is that the 30-day challenge program is guaranteed – if you don’t feel a difference in 30 days you can get all your money back. Even after completing the program.

Exposure to Air Pollution Increases Frailty Risk

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/exposure-to-air-pollution-increases-frailty-risk/

The evidence for long term exposure to forms of air pollution to increase the risk of age-related disease and mortality is quite compelling, including large studies in very similar populations with different levels of exposure. The important underlying mechanism is likely increased chronic inflammation deriving from the interactions of respiratory system tissues with particles and chemicals characteristic of industrial air pollution. Unresolved, constant inflammation drives dysfunction in the aging body and brain, contributing to the onset and progression of all of the common age-related conditions.

Particular Air Pollution Exposure Correlates with Worse Cognitive Function

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/particular-air-pollution-exposure-correlates-with-worse-cognitive-function/

A sizable body of evidence demonstrates that exposure to particulate air pollution correlates with an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions and cognitive decline with age. The most plausible biological explanations revolve around the harmful downstream effects of increased inflammation resulting from the interaction of particles with cells in the respiratory system. Inflammation sustained over the long term, even at relatively low levels, is disruptive to cell and tissue function, contributing to the onset and progression of age-related disease. Ways to control unwanted inflammation that do not also suppress the necessary inflammatory response to infection a…

It is Never Too Late to Take Up Exercise, Even When Hypertensive

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/it-is-never-too-late-to-take-up-exercise-even-when-hypertensive/

There may be a tendency for the unfit to look at the fit and feel somewhat hopeless, that a mountain lies between where they stand in unfitness and any benefits that might result from exercise. In fact, the data on exercise and measures of health suggests quite the opposite. The further removed from the pinnacle of fitness one stands, the more one benefits from just a little incremental extra exercise. When actually fit, adding additional exercise to the schedule brings only diminished benefits. So one sees studies of older people in which, when using accelerometers to accurately measure differences in lower levels of activity, those who walk and garden a little are far better off than those who are more sedentary.

This applies more or less regardless of how…

The Mean Instinct: Why We Exclude Others and How to Stop

Source https://tinybuddha.com/blog/the-mean-instinct-why-we-exclude-others-and-how-to-stop/

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” ~Unknown

“Girls are mean!” I nodded knowingly as my boss struggled to explain the difference between raising boys and girls. I couldn’t speak to raising boys, but I remembered all too well what it was like when my daughters were growing up.

Girls traveled in packs, always with a leader at the helm. And almost every week, one of the lesser-ranked members was cast out, ostracized from the group. More often than not, it was one of my daughters. I distinctly recall their heartbreak—the kind of deep, inconsolable sorrow that only a child can feel when their world is upended.

Meditation: A Simple Way to Show Up Fully in Your Life

“The real meditation is how you live your life.” ~Jon Kabat-Zinn

I never saw myself as someone who would meditate. It wasn’t even on my radar until my wife suggested it while we were both working on our wellness. I chuckled. Like a lot of people, I assumed meditation meant sitting still, trying to clear my mind, whatever that even meant. It sounded impossible and, frankly, frustrating.

I grew up in the rust belt, part of the baby boomer generation, and I’ve spent my life working hard, showing up, and taking care of my own. I love hard and play hard. I enjoy a good bourbon, an occasional cigar, and being a little stupid with my friends and family. That’s always been part of my li…

Data Suggests Wealthier People Do More to Maintain their Health

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/data-suggests-wealthier-people-do-more-to-maintain-their-health/

Researchers here look at differences in life expectancy by income over the period of time in which obesity emerged to became a major issue. Recall that income, wealth, status, education, intelligence, and life expectancy all tend to correlate with one another, and identifying the arrow of causation is a challenge. Researchers found that the difference in life expectancy between high income and low income segments of the population has widened over the past 60 years. The glass half full viewpoint is that this is because people with higher incomes are undertaking more effective means of maintaining long term health. The glass half empty view is that obesity is very damaging to health and longevity, and people with lower incomes become obese to a greater degree than those with higher incomes.

Elastin Expression May Reduce Cellular Senescence via Interactions with Mitochondria

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/elastin-expression-may-reduce-cellular-senescence-via-interactions-with-mitochondria/

Elastin is an important component of the extracellular matrix in flexible tissues. It is, as the name might suggest, necessary for tissue elasticity. Elastin fibers in the extracellular matrix become damaged with age, and this process is thought to be important in a number of ways, not just because it alters the structural properties of the tissue, but also because it changes cell behavior for the worse. The presence of elastin fragments can provoke inflammation or other maladaptive responses, for example. It isn’t entirely clear how best to tackle this aspect of aging, as elastin fib…

Cell and Rejuvenation Therapies as a Basis to Treat Neurodegenerative Conditions

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/cell-and-rejuvenation-therapies-as-a-basis-to-treat-neurodegenerative-conditions/

We might think of medicine as largely a matter of exerting control over cells, beginning with changing their behavior in defined ways, and moving on to creating cells and complex structures made of cells as needed. For all that this is an age of biotechnology, the research community has yet not advanced all that far along this road. Present capabilities are far removed from what we know to be possible in principle. Greater control over cells and ability to build with cells will enable many forms of rejuvenation, regeneration, and replacement relevant to treating age-related diseases and extending healthy life.

In regenerative medicine, there are three major therapeutic categories known collectively as the “R3” paradigm: (1) Rejuvenation – restoring the functional capacity of existing cells or reversing cellular aging processes; (2) Regeneration – stimulating repair or regrowth of tissu…

Reviewing Current Options for the Upregulation of Neurogenesis in the Context of Aging and Alzheimer's Disease

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2025/04/reviewing-current-options-for-the-upregulation-of-neurogenesis-in-the-context-of-aging-and-alzheimers-disease/

Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are created from neural stem cell populations, then mature, migrate, and integrate into neural circuits. This is necessary for memory, learning, normal tissue maintenance in the brain, and the small degree of regeneration from injury the brain is capable of. Neurogenesis declines with age, for a range of reasons including the usual reduced activity of stem cells that occurs in every tissue, and this is thought to contribute to some degree of the loss of cognitive function observed to occur in later life.
