A Healthy Weight!...
and Better
Health Too!
"Good Food Helps Fuel a Healthy Body"
Woody McMahon
Losing Weight Doesn't Have to Be Hard Work
Overeating is a learned habit and leads to unhealthy weight gain. It's easy to
overeat because food is addictive. Just like drugs, alcohol, smoking and some
medications, food affects your brain. Unbelievable as it may sound, certain foods
can even stimulate your brain just like cocaine.
Stress is The Real Culprit
Getting your weight under control requires removing the underlying cause of
overeating... STRESS. Healthy Weight! helps get your stress under control
making it easier to lose weight, feel better and enjoy life more.
You Can Change Your Overeating Habit
Most overeating is emotionally based. You may overeat to celebrate or reduce
sadness, anger, loneliness and the need for comfort. You can't just stop eating
to kick the food habit like you can with alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Trying to
trick yourself into eating less with smaller plates or chewing your food one hundred
times won't work either.
Find the Cause, Stop the Pain
You have to find the cause of overeating and fix it. We can help you break your
STRESS food cycle and stop overeating. We show you how to start eating for
healthy, not unhealthy reasons. That is your key to successful, long-term
weight loss.
Healthy Weight! provides the following benefits:
- Healthy Weight Loss
- Reduced Stress and Increased Energy
- Pain free hips, back, knees and feet
- Better Balance, Strength and Stamina
- Healthier Meal Planning and Cooking Techniques
- Improved Self Confidence and Body Image
- More Flexible and Relaxed Body

Understanding Your Hunger Drive
The Hunger Drive dictates how much food you eat every day. Abnormal urges to eat develop when your Hunger Drive becomes over stimulated. What over stimulates your Hunger Drive? The most common cause of overstimulation is stress. Stress lowers the serotonin and elevates the cortisol levels in your brain. As these hormones change, so does your abnormal urge to eat. Food moves from a healthy to an unhealthy position causing overeating. Once your Hunger Drive is retrained, overeating is eliminated and your body naturally returns to a healthy weight. Once the Hunger Drive is retrained, your overeating habit and extreme hunger for food is eliminated.
Three Steps to a Healthier Weight
The three most important steps to getting your weight under control are Getting Active, Eating Healthier and Reducing Stress. Healthy Weight! provides a simple and easy to follow plan with a knowledgeable support team to educate, motivate and keep you accountable. You'll learn how to safely and permanently lose weight while improving your overall health. With Fresh Start, you'll learn how to retrain your Hunger Drive and stop overeating. You'll reverse unhealthy lifestyle habits that exhaust your energy, stress your mind and leave you vulnerable to overeating and unhealthy weight gain. For people who need extra help, Fresh Start also offers a medical option. Either way, you'll reach your healthy weight in a supportive environment. You'll lose the weight and improve chronic health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic pain, high cholesterol, heart disease and depression.

Fit After 50!...
I Feel Young Again!
"Age Does Not Slow a Healthy Body"
Woody McMahon
Stop the Ache and the Pain
With the right program, getting older doesn't necessarily mean having
to feel older! The fact is that many people in their 60's, 70's, 80's and even
90's are vibrant, independent and in good health. Fit After Fifty! takes over
where your physical therapist's good work leaves off getting you moving and
active once again.
Your Physical Therapy is Over... Now What?
After a knee or hip problem, shoulder injury or bout with back or neck pain,
it's important to ease back into a regular exercise program without trying
to overdo it. Fit After Fifty! focuses on strengthening both the stability as well
as the major muscle groups of the spine, shoulders and hips. We also include
balance and flexibility training to keep you pain and injury free.
Your Doctor Says "Get Active"
Your doctor or physical therapist says "get active" and sends you off to the
typical gym or health club. That is not what you need or want. Fit After Fifty!
provides a personalized fitness program and a powerful age defying solution
in a friendly and non-gym environment. Fit After Fifty! also helps you feel
good while keeping medications to a minimum.

Be Bone Strong!...
Stronger Bones, Improved Balance,
Better Posture...
"A Healthy Body Creates Healthy Bones"
Woody McMahon
A Personalized Bone Strengthening Program
To successfully reverse osteoporosis, you need a well designed program
that balances your lifestyle and body. Be Bone Strong! keeps you from making
the mistake of trying to just increase bone density with special diets, supplements
and medications. There are only two goals that are important and we target both
of them; increase your bone strength and reduce your fracture risk.
Safe, Effective and Easy to Follow Weight, Balance and Posture Training
Healthy bones need stimulation from the pulling of the muscles and the pressure
effect of weight training activities. Be Bone Strong! teaches you a customized
BEST Study weight training program for maximum bone growth and improved balance.
To reduce the risk of fracture, we incorporate The Meeks Method of postural
training. Postural training is crucial in preventing vertebral fractures.
Be Bone Strong! is safe, effective and backed by scientific research.
A Simple But Effective Eating Approach
Eating is very individualized and should be healthy, simple, sustainable and fun.
Be Bone Strong! offers an uncomplicated approach to eating healthier foods that
does not involve special diets or rigorous food combinations. We use a simple,
visual approach that emphasizes color, texture and portion size. Once you are
eating better, we'll suggest a bone strengthening supplement program based on
the best available clinical evidence.
A Stress Reduction System That Keeps Calcium In Your Bones
An uncontrolled, stressful lifestyle is the biggest cause of calcium loss. We help
reduce stress by empowering you to take charge of your body and stop
letting stressful events pull calcium from your bones. Stress is always present;
learning to react to it differently is the key to stopping bone loss. Stress also
contributes to increased acidity and inflammation while suppressing your immune
system and slowing the healing process. Our program reduces the harmful side
effects of stress on your bones and on your health.
Controlling Fear, Worry and Doubt
Fear, worry and doubt all create stress that can disturb healthy hormone
levels and keep your bones from healing. Our monthly coaching and support
group meetings help you maintain a healthy mental attitude. Support keeps
you feeling empowered reducing the fear and worry that can accompany this
condition. We make sure you never have to doubt that you are "doing the right
thing" because you are supported and your questions are always answered.
In Person or Online Program... It's Your Choice
You may not live near our center but you can still receive all the benefits.
Video consultations, stress reduction activities, healthy eating plans and
functional weight bearing programs are all available over the phone and
computer in the comfort of your own home. We use Skype, emails, phone
calls and the internet, so anywhere in the world you can still benefit from
the only complete osteoporosis prevention and repair program.

More About Be Bone Strong!...
DEXA Numbers are Not The Whole Story
Stronger bones are what you want; risk of fracture is what you want to know.
The DEXA scan is designed to determine bone density. When combined with other
risk factors, bone density can provide indications of relative risk but cannot predict
who will experience a fracture. The DEXA scan numbers can be altered by certain
physical conditions making the results less reliable. More importantly than bone
density is bone quality. Bone quality comes from practicing a combination of healthy
lifestyle factors such as functional strength training, healthier eating and lower stress.
Turning on Your Body's Natural Healing Machine
Wouldn't it be great if you could turn on the most powerful healing system in
the body? You can. The latest scientific research has shown some amazing
evidence that we can actually change the genes and heal our bodies through
our Epigenome. Our program is the first to offer this cutting edge technology by
offering Strategic Epigenome Training (SET). SET helps stimulate your bone's
natural repair systems making them strong and fracture free.
The Silent Calcium Thief... A High Stress Lifestyle
High stress living produces excess cortisol, a stress hormone that pulls calcium from
your bones. High cortisol levels also depress your immune system, unbalance your
natural hormone profile and suppress your body's ability to absorb calcium and
produce strong bones. Be Bone Strong! works to improve your health by including
relaxation techniques, visualization and meditation to effectively reduce your stress
levels. Stop the negative effects of stress and keep your bones and body strong.

The "Big 6 for Healthy Bones"
Your individual osteoporosis program will depend on previous fracture history, DEXA
numbers, other risk factors and lifestyle history. Our goal is to help you strengthen
your bones with minimal or no medications. There are no "magic bullets" when it
comes to bone strength. Remember, no one supplement, activity or lifestyle change
will fix your osteoporosis. It takes a balanced and combined effort of not 1 but 6
major lifestyle changes to improve bone strength.
The "Big 6 for Healthy Bones " are:
1. Daily stress reduction activities including adequate rest and sleep. This
helps lower cortisol and homocysteine levels while reducing calcium loss and
allowing the body to heal.
2. A diet that contains 50% fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies contain
greater amounts of water, minerals, enzymes and fiber with generally lesser amounts of
animal protein helping to balance and fortify the body.
3. Adequate water intake for maximum hydration. Water is very important
in helping the cells stay hydrated and kidneys regulate pH and detoxify the body.
4. Year round vitamin D3 levels in the 50-80 ng/mL (or 125-200 nM/L).
This should be confirmed by regular 25-hydroxyvitamin D testing.
5. Progesterone levels to be 0.3 to 0.5 ng/ml. This should be confirmed by
regular salivary progesterone testing.
6. Weight bearing, balance and postural exercises. Increases bone and muscle
strength, improves body balance and reduces risk of fractures.
Yes, please contact me to schedule a consultation or get more information>>
It's Not Wise to Wait
The current wait and see approach to preventing and treating osteoporosis is
"too little too late." Many people think that taking adequate calcium and vitamin D
alone are enough to prevent bone loss or repair damaged bones; but it is not.
According to NOF, one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have
an osteoporosis-related fracture in her/his remaining lifetime. Up to 90 percent
of peak bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and age 20 in boys.
Youth is the best time to "invest" in bone health. But realistically, you can
strengthen your bones at any age if you follow the right program. Be Bone Strong!
helps mothers, daughters and whole families participate in health and fitness
activities that build strong bones, bodies and minds at any age.
The Importance of FRAX
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the FRAX® tool to evaluate
fracture risk in patients. FRAX® uses several clinical risk factors to determine your fracture risk.
The clinical risk factors that predict increased fracture are listed from higher to lower risk:
-
Age, Sex, Prior fragility fracture after age 50
-
History of corticosteroid use (5 mg or more for three months or more)
-
Parental history of hip fracture
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Secondary osteoporosis (e.g., type 1 diabetes, osteogenesis imperfecta in adults,
longstanding hyperthyroidism, hypogonadism, premature menopause, chronic
malabsorption and chronic liver disease)
-
Current smoker, Alcohol use of greater than 2 units daily (a unit is one medium
glass of wine or a glass of beer)
-
Body Mass Index
