    “My Husband Says I’m Hot!”

    “What’s going on out there?”

    “It’s D.W. You know how she is since she’s been doing PACE… she brought her old pants in.”

    I looked up from reading D.W.’s patient chart. “She brought her pants?”

    “Well, she wore them. Her old belt, too.” My medical assistant M.T. was laughing now. “She’s so happy. She even told me, ‘My husband says I’m lookin’ hot now! He wants to do PACE so he can look good, too.’”

    Terri Brightens Up The Whole Office

    My patient Terri L. is bubbling with energy.

    When she comes into the office now she has a big smile on her face, she greets my whole staff and has so much to say. She’s shed 80 pounds so far, and she was in the office just yesterday telling my staff happily, “… and everything that’s left is all muscle!”

    Terri seems completely unrelated to the person I met when she first came to me as a patient. She was lethargic, walked slow and talked slow. She had her head down all the time, spoke in a monotone and had hardly any animation.

    Now she’s very energetic, and everyone notices the difference.

    Why?

    Are They Joking?

    I’m having a hard time believing it isn’t some kind of late April Fool’s joke.

    I just read an article in The Journal of Family Practice, a conventional doctor magazine.

    The author seems amazed, telling readers that, hey, we’ve got something very unusual here. There’s a guy who came in who had numbness and pain, and we didn’t know why. He didn’t have diabetes or any other condition known to cause it. It took 13 years to figure it out and it turned out to be this rare side effect of – can you believe it – a statin drug!

    Are they kidding?

    Nature Is Better

    When I was in medical school, they never told me about the hormone leptin. They didn’t even know it existed.

    Then the medical community widely accepted the view that leptin was a new potential avenue to control obesity because it would stop your hunger. Some even went as far as suggesting that we should give everyone who was overweight a leptin injection.

    Now we find out it’s not what we thought it was. Leptin should control hunger. But when you gain too much weight you become leptin resistant. Your brain will then ignore leptin’s signals. Giving people more leptin will only make it worse.

    Afterburn – Transform Your Body While You Rest

    Today I want to talk to you about one of the most important benefits of my PACE program.

    I’m talking about “afterburn.”

    Afterburn is a way to describe all the energy your body uses to recover from your workout. It’s how you prepare to meet the challenge of what you’re asking your body to do.

    And it’s the key to transforming your body with PACE.

    PACE is designed to help you exceed your aerobic energy limit and tap the power of what I call supra-aerobics.

    Careful: Fake Protein Can Make You Weak

    Protein powders you find in your local health-food stores lack critical nutrients that give protein its real power.

    These overly-processed and misleading products give you cheap, weakened forms of protein that come from sick, diseased animals. And some protein powders even have dangerous levels of lead, cadmium and other heavy metals.

    Not only are they a waste of money, but if you eat them, they will only make you weaker and more vulnerable to disease.

    To stay slim, strong and potent, you need a reliable source of protein that hasn’t been processed, contaminated or altered.

    Today, I’ll show you the 7 factors you need in your protein powder to unlock its natural power.

    People Love This Stuff!

    When I was exploring the Amazon Rainforest, I stumbled upon something electrifying.

    I found it among the native Guarani tribe. They told me it is a gift from the gods. They use it to make themselves more alert, run faster and give them more energy and endurance.

    I tried it. It works better than any energy booster I’ve ever seen.

    More Lung Power, More Life

    Lung power is the number-one predictor of how long you’ll live. How well you breathe determines how long you’ll stay active and healthy.

    The medical journal Chest did a 29-year follow up to the Buffalo Health Study, which followed over 1,100 people up to age 89. They found that the better your lungs work, the less likely you are to die of any cause. The correlation was even stronger for heart disease.1

    This makes me wonder about all those workout “gurus.” They keep telling you to do “cardio” which only wears down your heart and lungs. The studies prove that lungpower – not wearing down your heart with hours of aerobics – will keep you going.

    Most doctors aren’t aware of this, either. They don’t bother to measure your lungpower during a doctor visit. Yet it’s easy to do, and I measure it at my clinic.

    The best way to tell how powerful your lungs are is a measurement called VO2 max.

    Legs That Go Forever

    I’ve written to you many times about how endurance running is bad for your heart and lungs.

    Today I want to tell you about how it affects your muscles.

    Skeletal muscles are the ones you can see, and the ones you exercise when you move. They attach to your bones via tendons and power up your whole body.

    Strong skeletal muscles fill you with strength and potential. They give you the feeling of confidence and they ensure you stay mobile and independent.

    And the strength of your leg muscles plays a lead role in how long you’ll live.

    A study from the University of Pittsburgh followed nearly 2,300 people for five years. It found that low muscle strength in your quadriceps made you 51 percent more likely to die.1

    The Body You Were Meant To Have

    I’m amazed when I watch pro athletes at the top of their games. They have incredible speed and power. And if you’re a reader you know I’m a tennis fan. I play tennis every morning. So I loved watching the Australian Open tennis tournament that just ended.

    It’s pretty impressive to watch how strong and fast these men and women are. They hit the ball so hard, and can twist their bodies and do incredible things with a tennis racquet in their hands.

    Their bodies seem to be built for it, don’t they?

    But what if I told you that you can have that same kind of lean, muscular body?

    In fact, you were designed for it.

    Let me explain…

    Reset Your Hormone Switch to “Normal”

    Have you ever shivered on a cold day? Felt a little light-headed when you stood up too fast? I’m sure you’ve broken a sweat while doing your PACE exercises, right?

    In all these situations, what you’re feeling is your body trying to return itself to a “normal” state. In medical terms, we call it homeostasis – a fancy way of saying that your body is reacting to its environment and trying to get back within its natural chemical, hormonal and temperature ranges.

    For example, when your energy levels are low, the conventional wisdom would tell you that your hunger hormones (like leptin and insulin) signal your body to “eat more, expend less.” And when you’ve eaten enough, your hormones should tell you that you’ve had enough.

    When I show my patients how to do PACE, amazing things happen.

    People who were so heavy they couldn’t get off the couch drop 90 pounds and feel reborn. People who think they “can’t do it,” find that they can.

    Now, you can get the same help without ever stepping foot in my clinic.

    That’s because I’ve made a DVD of my PACE program just for you. All you have to do is push “play,” and I’ll step into your living room and walk you through my revolutionary PACE program step-by-step.

    Pigs Don’t Lie

    If you want to fight fat and keep a lean, muscular body, you can try going to the gym and spending hours and hours lifting, running, spinning…

    …or you can use chromium.

    Did you know that one study took commercial pigs and fed them chromium, and measured significant fat reduction? They changed nothing else about the pigs … all they did was give them chromium and they got lean.1 Not only that, but they had an increase in muscle, as well.

    My Resolution to You

    The first is that we’ve purchased a brand-new 17,000-sq.-ft. building that will allow us to expand the current wellness clinic and build the center that I’ve always wanted. It will be like a cross between the Canyon Ranch, the Pritikin Center & Spa, the Cooper Aerobics Center, and the Life Extension Foundation.

    In the next five years, we want to make 100 years old the new 50.
