Happy and Merry FAT LOSS!

‘Twas the Day After Christmas

And Everyone’s Fun

Turned into Big Bellies

And Jiggly Buns.

“Don’t Fear,” said the doctors

“Even if you’re a ton

We’ll write you a script

For a GLP1!”

“Ozempic, Mounjaro, and the powers that be

Will knock off the pounds and reduce A1C”

“You don’t have to exercise, don’t even diet,

We’ll write your prescription, you run out and buy it!”

“BUT WAIT!”  Someone screamed,with an audible boom.

“Shouldn’t we join in to Phil Kaplan’s Zoom?

Before we fall victim to the latest drug fad

We want to know truth if the new drugs are bad

And while we’re caught up in this “spin” that’s been spu 

Shouldn’t we ask, “What is GLP1?” 

As Santa looked up from completing his season

He knew who was screaming, it was the old voice of reason,

He looked at his belly and glanced at his wife,

“Mrs. Claus, let’s get fitter, let’s better our life”

The missus just smiled and stripped off her sweat suit,

Key Point:

METABOLISM IS EVERYTHING

I devote a fair amount of time, in working with clients and students, discussing metabolism.

There’s a good reason for that.

Metabolism is everything. 

At least when it comes to energy, health, function, and performance.

And that's pretty much everything.

If you seek fat loss, energy restoration, or movement away from chronic disease, restoring Metabolic Power is the answer.

At the risk of over-defining the concept, I’ll share one quick summation.

YOUR METABOLISM

Your metabolism consists of thousands of proteins and molecular components interacting to convert the nutrients you consume into matter and fuel, into living tissue and energy.  It’s the vital process that allows you, as you sustain life, to build muscle, bone, and cellular structures all interacting to allow you, as a unique being, to move, grow, recover, and heal.

At a purely biochemical level of energy-prod...

The greatest contributor to our nation’s health crisis is

Impaired Metabolism as a Direct and Indirect Result of

Neuroendocrine-Disrupting Chemicals.

I can fill this article with statistics about how sick and fat people are. 

I can demonstrate with research and evidence from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control how over only 5 decades (a mere blink of an eye when considering how long mankind has lived in civilized societies) obesity and obesity-related diseases have escalated from 5% or less of our population to near 70% of American adults.

Nah.  Not statistics.  That’s not the way to go here. 

A statistical revelation may create a momentary “really?” but for the most part, statistics rarely result in action and the impact wears off as soon as the next distraction shows its shiny veneer.

I can try sharing the most obvious illustrations of the fattening of our population ...

KEY POINT:

You Are Not a Victim of Your Metabolism;

You Are The Creator!

It gets blamed for almost everything. 

It gets attacked both verbally and chemically.

It gets starved, confused, injured, and all too often, destroyed.

Yes, Metabolism, among the many who suffer slower variations of it, may be the most villainized misunderstood inner working of the foundational platform of human life.

In fact, along with respiration and circulation, metabolism is among the most vitally important biological functions. 

To simply indict it as an enemy of weight loss is a near-criminal mistake.

Before we engage in a PR campaign for Human Metabolism, and before we attempt any sort of true metabolic rescue, let’s define this thing.

WHAT IS METABOLISM?

In live seminars, when I ask an audience to define metabolism, I can always count on an audience member sharing a common and familiar anecdote. 

In answer to the “what is ...

The allure of a weight loss drug rivals the allure of muscle-building cheesecake or a fragrance that makes you irresistibly attractive. 

All 3 seductive offers (fat burning drugs, food that has a muscle-building effect, and pheromone products that have suitors lining up to win you over) have found their way into the marketplace, and the simple truth is . . . as far as a consumer payoff, it just ain’t happnin’.

Of the three, magic foods, sexually magnetic fragrances, and weight loss drugs,...

THE 8 REASONS

In this BLOG POST I’ll explain the first of the eight Reasons.

REASON #1:

You Focus on Weight, in Partnership with the Evil Devious Scale!

In most cases, with most things, we cannot establish a blanket determination as to whether the thing is good or bad, benevolent or evil.

Want some examples?

OK.

Alcohol, good or bad?  Hmmm.  Not a simple answer.

Chocolate?

Fire?

Rain?

Sometimes the judgment will come from experience, other times from circumstance.

Whether ice cream, bananas, heat, or cold are good or bad “depends.”

There is one exception.

The object I’m referring to as the exception has several forms. 

It may li...

At Infinite Impact, in our arsenal of tools and therapies, we include B12 injections. 

In people who present B12 insufficiency, the outcomes are often profound. 

In healthy folks with B12 levels “in range” there may be a mix of some metabolic benefit and placebo.  Bodybuilders and endurance athletes often swear it contributes to recovery.

I believe three factors are making the question “do you offer B12” far more common.

1. We’re actually seeing increased incidence of B12 insufficiency in specific   (1) Adults over 60 (2) People of all ages with gastointestnal disorders

2. More IV stores are opening and it’s gaining great awareness in the mainstream

3. After COVID created a new awareness, the desire to take control of health has led many people to seek out IV Therapy as a supplemental player in their  immune health

As when anything hits the mainstream (or the internet) with promise of “super power,” people start to ask questions and the confusing cacophony or ...

Mold as a "Cause," the Insidious Culprit in Invisible Illness

by Phil Kaplan

In 2005 my life changed.  I was thrust into the unfamiliar world of being “the patient.”

It started during the 2005 Hurricane Season, when a fierce storm named Wilma blew the roof off of my Corporate Headquarters.  It was flooded and everything within the four walls was ruined.

Two weeks after the storm, contractors were busy in the building tearing out rotting drywall and carpet and a new roof was being constructed.  Eight months later, the space looked phenomenal, everything brand new.

Well, almost everything.*

Weeks after the building was repaired, weird things started to happen.  It started with an unusual cough.  I wouldn’t feel it coming on, but when it hit it literally felt as if my lung wanted to come out of my mouth.  It would sometimes knock me off of my feet.  Literally.

I went to a pulmonologist.  He told me I had emphysema.  He prescribed an albuterol inhaler.  The diagnosis was both distur...

It usually starts with aching joints.

“My knees hurt when I get out of the car after a long drive.”

“My shoulders and elbows ache when I put the grocery bags in the trunk.”

“My hands hurt when I make my juice in the morning and I’m really stiff when I get out of bed”

These insidious clues to a progressing arthritic condition aren’t usually cause for alarm, but the disease is progressive and as more joints become affected or pain and stiffness worsen, the search for solutions leads to medical diagnosis, and while arthritis is thought of as both commonly manageable, conventional medicine, including docs at Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic will perpetuate the belief that the condition isn’t curable.

That doesn’t mean the prognosis is dismal.  It just means their approach is to manage the condition using means such as medications, therapies, and treatments that may mitigate pain and control the progression of inflammation.

I’m not challenging this p...

Anyone who has witnessed the trajectory  of my career knows that I envisioned creating a healing center, a “Human Betterment” center since my experience "as a patient" in 2005,

In 2019, I connected with Dr. Kristin Comella, world renowned stem cell scientist and the  vision became a shared one.  After years of challenges, stick-to-it-iveness, and a few wild adventures, we opened Infinite Impact, a Center for Human Betterment, in 2023, and as we head toward the year that foolows, we agree.  2023 has been a year of miracles. 

Together with my friend Dr. Blyweiss and an extraordinary team of medical, fitness, and health professionals, we breeathed life into our Boca Raton showcase, an integrative model of empowerment,  Visitors know.  We've built a true Center for Human Betterment.

The changes we’ve witnessed with clients and patients defy not only the edicts of conventional medicine, but in many cases, defy belief! 

We hear the word “unbelievable” at the completion of every Metabolic...
