Got 10mins to be "Wishy Washy"?


I wanted to share with you today a few things. Yesterday I took 10mins from a 75min coaching call with Stuart Tomc who is Nordic Naturals Educator!

The information he presented in this interview was MIND BLOWING, it's not very often I get "blown away" from people who teach health.

Stuart Tomc is one of those people who has "connected the dots" in health and looks far bigger then JUST Omega 3/fish oil or "his way" and this is what "blows my mind"..... (often guru's tell you their way from a egocentric point of view or it's with a agenda of some kind that is about them!!)

Stuart see's the bigger picture of TOTALITY and I have believed totality forever, it's actually part of our Maori culture here in NZ so this is where my "belief" of totality/holistic thinking comes from!!

Our conversation touched on History, Science, Research, Quantum Physics, Culture, Functional Medicine, Chemistry, Nutrition - (currently & in the past), belief systems plus much more.... was and is still a "goose bump" experience!

In this 10min clip Stuart talks about where he starts with Omega 3 regardless if you are a expert or a novice!

I hope you are open minded enough to listen to this 10min clip, there's nothing to buy, it's just me providing you with some Health and Fitness I.Q.

------>>>> 10mins with Start Tomc <<<<--------

If you do choose to listen in, put the ear phone in or turn up the speakers and put the TV on for the kids to baby sit the kids ;-)

Thanks for being part of EHP's Tribal News-letter, with all the online guru's out there these days, it means a lot that you are part of our whanau/tribe!

P.S. There are a lot of awesome people out their teaching health and fitness, however there are only a couple in my mind that can connect the dots on so many different levels other then just sets, reps, nutrition, quantum physics, science, the 'no mind', mature ego, life plus much more and LIVING IT!!

Sure it maybe a bit "wishy washy" for you this whole holisty/totality thing and that's ok, when you are ready to see a totality or holistic view, I or someone else will help you "see it"!!

Go on I dare you to be "wishy washy" for 10mins :-)

Fish Oils burn Fat!

There is more and more research of the importance of Omega 3's (Good fats) towards your health! Did you know it can also aid in decreasing body fat and increasing Lean Body Mass?!!

Fat is a 'taboo' word in the fitness/nutrition word but anyone who understands nutrition will know that Omega 3 is a Fat that we NEED or we DIE!

Did you know that the brain is 62% FAT?! That's right it's Omega 3 so if the thing that determines who/how/what you are is fat don't you think it's GREAT thing to consume :-)

5 Reasons Why should you take a good Quality Fish Oil for health?
  1. Decrease depression

  1. Increase serotonin levels i.e. your happiness

  2. Decrease heart attacks

  3. Decrease morning stiffness

  4. Populations that have a high intake of fish oils lower incidence of inflammatory diseases such as asthma!

5 Reasons fish oils for your Body Composition by Charles Poliquin & Dr Mark Houston MD
  1. Fish oils turn on the lipolytic genes (fat burning genes)

  2. Fish oils turn off the lipogenic genes (fat storage genes)

  3. Preferential utilization for energy production once stored in t

  4. Adipocytes.Reduced inflammation from physical training.

  5. Fish oils are a great stress fighter. Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids inhibits the adrenal activation of steroids, aldosterone, epinephrine and norepinephrine (catecholamines) elicited by a mental stress, apparently through effects exerted at the level of the central nervous system. Therefore, for the same amount of stress, one will produce fewer stress hormones if consuming fish oils on a regular basis.

Flaxseed oil or Fish Oil?
Without getting all 'geeky' on you, basically flaxseed oil goes through 4 stages before the body can utilize it and then there is research upon how much you can actually use anyway once it's in a place to be used by the body. Whether you can use it or not is person specific i.e. diabetes, ethnicity, alchol consumption etc...

Please don't mistaken that for Flaxseed is not valuable because it is, however fish oil will ensure you get to utilize all of the EPA/DHA consumed without any debate about if you can utilize it or not!

How much do you take?
I have only seen "Results" from taking 9-15grams per day towards lean body mass, pain relief from the stress of training/life, mood, sugar cravings (however I will be getting my hands on research of quantity in the future).

Also to note that the QUALITY of the fish oil at this consumption or any consumption is VITAL!!! Consumer mag has just done some tests on who/what companies in NZ are living the 'truth' behind what they say on the bottles for quality and quantity!

Nordic Naturals is by far the best company who do fish oils and I'm fortunate enough to be a supplier of theirs! If their was a better company that made fish oils and supplied NZ, without a doubt I would supply their product!!

Start today taking a GREAT QUALITY fish oil I don't care if it's 1 capsule the most important thing is you start by taking 1 step! Most health shops supply Nordic Naturals it's a higher price then other brands, but you pay for what you get and it's quality GUARANTEED!
