Television Host Mike Vecchio Getting Great Results With Nutritional Cleanse
By: Dr. Peggy Malone
As many of you know, every Thursday I share my health and wellness knowledge as a Health Correspondent on a local television show called Inside Elgin.
A few weeks ago, I was discussing nutritional cleansing with the host of the show Mike Vecchio.
He was really interested in the topic and was up to the challenge of trying a 30 Day Isagenix Nutritional Cleanse.
The following video gives a great overview of nutritional cleansing and this interview gave Mike a chance to ask many of the questions that he had before embarking on the nutritional cleanse adventure.
In the video above and in the follow up video, we covered some of the basic Frequently Asked Questions that people had about a nutritional cleanse like:
1) Am I gonna be on the toilet the whole time? NO. In fact, because you are putting less into your body and because it’s such amazing nutrition, your body will use much of it and you may find yourself visiting the bathroom less!
2) Is it expensive? NO. The 30 Day System replaces 64 meals over the 30 days and you will probably find that if you track your grocery bill and your eating out bill from the month before….you will actually be saving money!! And putting really great nutrition into your body while you do it!
3) Can anybody do this cleanse? YES. I always encourage people to get the AOK from their medical doctor before starting a program but everyone can benefit from taking the bad stuff out and putting good stuff in.
4) Can I do the Cleanse if I have Diabetes, or Lupus or Asthma or if I have other Health Concerns? MOST LIKELY. Always always always talk to your medical practitioner if you have health concerns or if you are taking any medications. In most cases, you will be able to use the Isagenix products and in most cases, they will bring great benefit to those who are suffering with health issues. That said, there are some people that should be careful. In the video, Mike asks about Diabetes. Isagenix is very diabetic friendly…and in fact because you will be putting in less sugars and you will be very stable while taking this product. As a result, some diabetics find that they need LESS insulin. This is a great thing…BUT….it should be regulated by your medical doctor. If you aren’t sure if your health status will allow you to participate then send me a message and I can help you with the questions you should be asking your medical doctor.
5) Will I lose weight? MAYBE…IF that is part of your health goal. One of the side effects of nutritional cleansing, is that when you release toxins from fat cells you will also release the fat cell itself…this equals weight loss. Mike’s goal in doing the cleanse was to get healthier and if he happens to lose a few pounds, well that’s ok too
6) Can Athletes Use This System: YES! This is one of the reasons why I like this product so much. It is a great option for athletes and this is important to me both as an athlete and as a health care provider that works closely with athletes. There is a specific cleanse just for athletes!
Here is a follow up video when Mike was about one week into the cleanse:
Mike noticed in the first week that he had a bit of a headache as he got used to not having caffeine. He felt a little more energy and he even noticed that the tendinitis in his elbow was bothering him less. Not a surprise when you consider than the Isagenix cleanse is essentially an anti-inflammatory diet!
He noticed that he was peeing more than usual because of the extra water he was putting in and he found that his bowel movements were about normal. That will help to ease the minds of many people who are nervous that a cleanse means sitting on the toilet for days!
And here is yet another video at the 2 week mark. Mike gives a great update on his nutritional cleanse progress and asks a few more questions that he has been hearing from his family and friends as he has been cleansing:
Mike reported that he feels great! He says that he feels better than he did before. He has more energy in the afternoon. He no longer gets yawns or the afternoon drowsies. He said that he feels quite alert until 9 or 10 at night. He also said that his sleep has improved quite a bit as well!
Overall, he says that he feels great and he’s excited that he can do the cleanse and still eat what his family is eating.
He is confident that other people will also benefit from doing the cleanse. He has been encouraging his family and friends to give it a try.
In the last segment of the week 2 video we discussed the many health benefits of undenatured whey protein which is found in the Isagenix IsaLean Shakes.
Undenatured whey protein is a potent detoxifier, an immune booster, a powerful antioxidant and will help in regeneration of cells and tissues of the body.
You may have had many of the same questions that Mike and his family and friends had about the Isagenix 30 Day System.
If you haven’t found the answer to your question in this post or in these videos, please leave me a comment below or contact me here with your question.
I am happy to help!
Until next time…
Live Well,
Peggy
