Oh, Oh, Oprah - Ozempic

by Phil Kaplan

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 Calories Don't Matter and Gluttony is King

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.

Hull, H.R., Radley, D., Dinger, M.K. et al. 
The effect of the Thanksgiving Holiday on weight gain. Nutr J 5, 29 (2006).


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...

It's Not "the Thing," it's Synergy!

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 . . . 

"I tried losing...

Gimme Drugs Gimme Drugs

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...

The Words That Ensure Health and Weight Loss Failure

Resolving the "But Problem"

by Phil Kaplan

 

There are pivotal moments before somebody’s future unfolds. 

In those precious moments, there’s the possibility of going down a path of health, vitality, and physical excellence, and then . . . there’s the other path.  The one that leads to discontent, frustration, and a complete loss of power.

When any man or woman is face-to-face with a legitimate solution to their physical ailments, their weight issues, or their diagnosed disease, a single word and one of 5 phrases eliminate any possibility of finding betterment.

Let’s start with the single word.

“But.”

That’s It.

They all say â€śbut,” followed by one of 5 phrases.  And then, in those celebratory cases where we get past the “but,” those cases where we share a combination of truth and power, the people transform. 

Dramatically. 

For the better.

I’m not talking about a little...

Breathing, Peeing, and Sweating out Fat!

At Biohackers, Infinite IMPACT, and in the training facilities of all of my affiliated coaches, people are going through the Metabolic Reboot Program and losing fat.

All told, we’re talking about hundreds of pounds of fat leaving bodies every 21 days.

Inquiring minds and skeptics alike may ponder an enigmatic concern.

Where does fat go when its burned? 

After all, every student of physics knows, matter cannot be destroyed.  It can only be changed.

Are there globs of fat just floating around the universe?  Does it land on other unsuspecting people who then need their own journeys through the Reboot?  Is there a massive fat accumulation in the ocean forming an adipose island?

“Where does the fat go?” is a good question, and as all good questions it deserves a good answer.

Here’s the step-by-step for a “Rebooter.”

  1. By integrating lymphatic activity, cellular oxygenation, rapid and systemic muscular challenge and a careful...

NAD - The Youth Capsule?

People hear of a “new product” or a “scientific discovery” in the context of purported “miracle” and the buzzing begins.

Such has been the case with NAD (NAD+, NADH).

The buzz leads to the emergence of evangelists armed with nothing more than a catch phrase.

“NAD is great for anti-aging.”

And from said catch phrase, sellers of supplementceuticals find revenues and new profitability as long as they can ride the wave of intrigue and mystery.

I’d like to provide a bit of baseline clarity about this intriguing compound as the research continues to unfold.

Let’s begin with this. 

We don’t really want “anti-aging.” 

Chronological aging represents longevity and we all want long lives.  So while we understand the intention, anti-aging refers not to fighting chronological continuance, but rather to combatting biological breakdown.

We want our lives to move forward, not as an invitation for...

Red Light, Fat Loss, and Health. Legit or Scam?

Want to boost brain, energy, metabolism, and mood? 

OK, then get up early. 

Not just a little early.  I mean wake up when it’s still dark out, in the moments just before sunrise. 

Then stand outside naked and wait.

You’re slowly bathed in red-hued radiance, absorbing light energy that comes directly from the center of the solar system, directly from the natural heavens, directly from the sun.

I know.  You’ve heard bad things about the sun.  Sure, it illuminates the world and makes plants grow, but what about all the stories of sunburn and skin cancer?

Let’s begin by recognizing that the sun radiates a whole lot of electromagnetic energy and sunlight can be divided into three primary types, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet (we can include Gamma Rays and other invisible photo-energies, but for our purposes, lets' stick to the three).

When we consider "three different types" of sunlight, we begin to see a distinction, and with...

Colostrum – Can a Superfood for Babies Create Super Health in Grown-Ups?

Call it God or Nature.  Whatever you hold responsible for the propagation of life, the process of bringing a human or other mammalian baby into this world is filled with complexities, wonder, and miracles. 

Consider the helplessness of a newborn.  It is fully reliant upon the mother for protection, nourishment, and comfort, and then . . . beyond the initial oxytocin-bond and warm-blooded emotion, the newborn must acquire immunity, growth factors, and critical proteins and saccharides to initiate cell division and healthy growth.

And somehow, it arrives!  Enter COLOSTRUM.

Colostrum is the first liquid produced in the mammary glands of mammals (humans included) immediately after giving birth and it is precisely what Nature or God intended.  A powerful bioactive formula containing a super-dose of Immunoglobulins, Lactoferrin (an iron-binding protein with multi-faceted far-reaching support for the immune system), cell and tissue growth factors, amino acids, and...

BPC – 157: A Therapeutic Remedy for Mind, Gut . . . and Body!

 

As I pursue the science of anti-aging and its associated strategies and hacks, we have to consider "protection" and "recovery" related to joint injuries, whether they begin as acute or they're simply the result of years of wear and tear, and this remarkable peptide-chain may have a solid place in your overall human optimization program.

A QUICK INTRO RELATED TO PEPTIDES 

In 1998 I was privy to eye-opening research related to the value of varied oligopeptides in recovery and anabolism when consumed post-workout.  The research concluded that consumption of di-peptides and tri-peptides in a 50%-50% ratio brought the greatest outcome in optimizing both recovery and muscle growth.

We’re all very aware of proteins as macronutrient structures made up of amino acids, and in a macro sense, we attempt to calculate how much protein we should consume to optimize training outcomes.  The science gets really interesting when we look, not only at the proteins themselves,...
