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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Last week I told you about our breakthrough Affordable 14-Day Metabolic Fat Loss Program, IMPACT14, and in the same week word got out. 

Oprah’s on Ozempic.

One of those two options (IMPACT14, Ozempic) will help people restore health and metabolic excellence, the other will leave a great many disappointed with varied levels of regret.

I’ll say nothing about Oprah and her weight loss journey.  It’s clear she’s one of the most influential icons in the world with one of the most public struggles in that arena, but I’ll also ask you to stop and think before you join the “Oprah did it so it must be good” club.

Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and the like are NOT magic weight loss solutions, they do come with risks, and I encourage anyone, before considering usage, to first learn what a “black box warning” is, and secondly, to read the package materials that accompanies these “new” drugs.

Here, according...

When Gluttony is King

(of Metabolism That Is).

Thanksgiving Week.  Here’s a very real choice. 

(1) Enjoy the Thanksgiving Meal and move away from optimal health

(2) Enjoy the Thanksgiving Meal and Boost Metabolism in the Process

This isn’t a joke.  You really can make that choice. 

A significant body of evidence demonstrates some rather interesting facts. 

The average American will gain .5 kg of body weight  over the 24-hour period beginning at Noon on Thanksgiving Day.

That may not sound significant, but there are two factors based on peer-reviewed published studies that merit consideration.

Firstly, the weight gain, although minimal, isn’t “lost” after the holiday. 

Secondly, most will accumulate closer to 7 kg over the weeks to follow and will not lose it post-Holiday...

For years I started my seminars with two words.

 Nothing works.

It’s true.

If the goal involves improvement in health, metabolism, function, or performance, nothing works . . . in and of itself.

The key to achieving betterment through exercise and lifestyle is Synergy, the synergistic relationship between what you eat, what you do, what you think, and how you operate within the social, chemical, and natural environment.

It’s the flawed idea that  suggests “a thing” will fix Lyme Disease, chronic fatigue, obesity, diabetes, chronic pain, injury, or hypothyroidism that leads to polarization and ultimately flawed attempts.

"I ate a blueberry and I got COVID anyway!  Antioxidants don't work!"

Clearly that would be an absurd assumption, a false conclusion.  "The thing" doesn't singlehandedly do the job.

Flawed attempts result in false conclusions.  I can give you thousands of examples.  Such as . . .

Have Americans Given Up Their Own Power?

by Phil Kaplan

Want drugs?

Yellowstone Park, Forest Hills, NY, circa 1976. 

Jamie sold quaaludes. 

Micky was the weed dealer (he usually had Acapulco Gold). 

Crackerjack sold hash and sometimes had baggies full of Dexadrine.

And then there was a section where powders and the dangerous stuff could be found.

Cars would pull in, folks of all shapes, colors, and sizes would reach out their windows, buy their drugs, and car engines would roar as they’d head off to concerts, gatherings, parties, and whatever the weekend held in store.

Every once in awhile a police car would pull in, everyone would disperse, and 20 minutes later business would resume.

As the buyers pulled away with their merchandise they were fulfilled.

They could now have fun.  They had their drugs.

I was 16.  Not yet old enough to drive, but I went along as a passenger (had a crush on a girl named Gail who was a regular at...
