Hello, my name is Travis Just, from Hilliard, Ohio. I just wanted to share a story with you, to give you hope about your health.
At age 22, I was in the best shape of my life. I was a personal Trainer and a competitive body builder, in such great form as to be chosen Mr. Collegiate Minnesota. But, while I was in good shape, I wasn’t in good health.

“In 1998 I was diagnosed with Cancer. It was a life-changing experiencing for me, as it is for everyone. I went through radiation, and it took it’s toll on me. I had to be more than physically strong to survive. I knew that if I was going to get back my health, I needed nutritional supplementation to support my body’s systems. Now I’m happy to say I’m cancer free and in great health as well as physically fit. I want my life to mean something.”

“They say you miss 100% of the shots you never take. We never regret the things we try, we regret the things we don’t try. Try Genesis today, you won’t regret it! Those considering a Symmetry Business- just try it and you’ll have no regrets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About two years ago, at age 22, I was diagnosed with Leukemia (cancer of the blood). Before being diagnosed, I would go to the gym but couldn’t work out because it was hard for me to breathe. I was tired all the time and my appetite decreased where I would only eat once a day. I lost a lot of weight but didn’t really realize I was not healthy. I was actually taking energy pills just to get to the gym and work out. Then I got very sick. I passed out at home and the paramedics had to knock down the door to get to me. If I hadn’t reached the hospital when I did, I would have died. I was literally bleeding to death. I had to go through chemo-therapy and fight for my life. I made it through and the cancer is in remission. I knew that for me to get my health back, it would take good nutrition. About 6 months ago, I started taking Genesis and Ultra Vitality. And I feel great! I go to the gym regularly and I have so much energy! My appetite is back, I eat all the time. My immune system is 100% back to normal. I get a blood test done every week, my red and white blood cells are back to normal. I have to get a bone marrow test every 3 months (uggh!), but it comes back good each time! There are no signs of cancer. I’ll never go back; I’ll never stop taking my Genesis and Ultra Vitality.

Both of these stories are from the Genesis before it’s improvement.  Read a bit about Genesis now:

Genesis-X24: It’s the only Antioxidant on the earth that has Primary and Secondary Antioxidants in it. So now not only does Genesis kill free radicals right away; it stays active over 24hrs with the new first time ever Primary Antioxidants added. Symmetry is the only company that can do this since they patented this whole new extracting process. Let me give you just a little look at what this can do with a comparison of other products, Mona-vie says they have an ORAC score of 3000 (all secondary antioxidants) which means each ounce can kill up to 3000 free radicals, well old Genesis kills 19,636 per ounce (also secondary antioxidants). The new Genesis-X24 not only has more Resveratrol but now they extract every great antioxidant that red wine has to offer, the result up to 400,000 free radicals and that’s just with the secondary ones.  Thhe primary ones work from 24 to 48 hrs so the number could be in the millions even a billion. The primary antioxidants come from a melon specially grown for Symmetry in Africa that is high in SOD and Glutathione. No one in the world has ever done this before and I really feel this product can change peoples lives.

For more information please email me at lisasurvillas@healthiestlife4me.com or you can order at Live Better With Symmetry!!

Resveratrol, commonly found in red wine, is all over the news lately being prominently featured in magazines like Forbes and Readers’ Digest and news programs such as 60 Minutes and Oprah. We at Symmetry know that there is much more to the story of red wine than just Resveratrol. There are several compounds in red wine that are known to help protect against heart disease and cancer like quercitin, polyphenolic compounds, and ellagic acid, to name a few. Our best-selling product, GENESIS, contains the Resveratrol plus all other nutrients present in red wine without the alcohol and water.

 

GENISIS also includes ellagitannins-the stable food form
of polyphenol ellagic acid known as the “miracle molecule” in
pomegranates. A recent study from the University of California,
Los Angeles, found extracts of the fruit were associated with a
two-fold suppression in the expression of genes linked to prostate  cancer. The anticarcinogenic effect of ellagic acid has also recently been shown in several types of cancers including skin, esophageal, and colon cancers.

In this new to me world of twitter, blogging, and social networking I have met a TON of wonderful people who have influenced my life in more ways than one, people who have given me hope, people who have given me support, and people who are introducing me to new ways of thinking.just to name a few.  I have talked about some of these people in previous blogs, but new to this blog is Dr. Scott Olson ND.  He and I met via twitter and let me tell you, he is worth having around!!

Dr. Olson is a Naturopathic Doctor and the author of a book on sugar addiction called Sugarettes. He offered a challenge up to go 30 days without sugar or foods that act like sugar. This challenge is going for the month of January.  It sounded interesting so I asked some questions, got a copy of his book and joined the cause. 

I started reading his book and it was extremely hard to put down.but of course, I had to because people in this house still expected to eat and all!! LOL  Anyhow.it took me a few weeks because of work and all, but I finally got through the whole book.  And am amazed about the horrible things that sugar does to our bodies. 

My favorite part of the book is an analogy about a girl in the store begging her mom for a toy and to shut her up the mom hands her a cigarette.  I gasped when I read it at the very thought that it could happen.  Of course, upon reading further the point was that that story is how we treat our kids every day when we bribe them to behave by giving them candy. 

This book points out the many ways that sugar is KILLING each one of us.  Dr. Olson’s claim is that the medical community overlooks much of the damage done to our bodies due to sugar.  Besides just diabetes, sugar is responsible for all kinds of diseases and preventable health problems including high blood pressure and clogged arteries. 

His book lays out a plan on how to get rid of sugar from your diet to not only LOSE WEIGHT but to improve your health for LIFE!!  If you are interested in losing weight or just looking to improve your health and that of your family, then his book is for you! 

You can grab yourself a copy at www.amazon.com or just click on the book title Sugarettes.  I have never before read a “self help” type book that I’ve enjoyed this much.  Not only is it packed full of GREAT information, its easy to read and interesting.  The analogies are amusing and keep you interested in all the science smashed between them!   This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in health and nutrition, fitness, body building, etc.  Check it out!!

The most important part of our diet’s in order to build lean muscle is PROTEIN.  Now that the holiday eating season is upon us, we need to pay attention to how to make sure we are getting enough.  Lean muscle controls our metabolism.  The more muscle mass you have, the more fat you will burn at rest.  During the holiday season, our meals usually have more carbs and starches on the tables to tempt us.  In order to stay on target, it is important to understand where we can get the lean protein from to feed our muscles. 

The holiday staple for both Thanksgiving and Christmas is TURKEY.  And what a great staple it is.  Turkey is a great source of lean protein. 

Here is a table that explains how much protein is in different cuts of turkey:

Type (3.5 oz portion)	Calories	Total Fat	Protein
Breast with skin	194	8 grams	29 grams
Breast w/o skin	161	4 grams	30 grams
Wing w/ skin	238	13 grams	27 grams
Leg w/skin	213	11 grams	28 grams
Dark meat w/skin	232	13 grams	27 grams
Dark meat w/o skin	192	8 grams	28 grams
Skin only	482	44 grams	19 grams

What this table from the University of Illinois show us is that the  best cut of meat is the breast without skin.  It provides the highest amount of protein with the lowest amount of fat and calories.  If you are not a fan of white meat, then the cut of dark meat without skin is the next best choice, although it has twice the amount of fat as the breast. 

In addition to Turkey being a great source of protein, the University of Illinois says that turkey “is an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium and B vitamins.” 

Potassium is used to “maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.” according to Wikipedia.  Translated.potassium will keep you from dehydrating and from storing excess water weight.  Besides turkey, a great source of potassium is an avocado.  Bananas and potatoes also have potassium, but are foods that act like sugar in the body. 

Check out the story, “Ultra Vitality-What and Why” to see what the other vitamins included in turkey are good for! 

Of course, adding things to your turkey like gravy and cranberry sauce add to the levels of sugars, carbs, and fats (not the good ones) and only defeat all your hard work. 

If you are choosing to have side dishes, limit the simple carbs and stick with green, crunchy veggies.  If you can choose a carb like a yam.it is the best choice you can make.  This is a low-glycemic index carb and will not act like sugar in your body. 

Hope you have a happy holiday season with your families and that your fitness goals stay on track!  (PS.I hope I can stay on track too!)

It is also important to understand, when looking at Ultra Vitality why many of the amounts are higher than the Daily Value.  Symmetry does this because “Daily value can be understood as ‘minimum wage’ for nutrition where it is enough to get by and prevent sickness, but not enough to be vibrant and happy.  For example, while 100% of Vitamin C  will not generate scurvy or other deficiency symptoms, studies show that about 8 times that amount can increase life span by five and a half years.  Thus, Ultra Vitality goes beyond the Daily Value recommendations on Vitamin C and other nutrients.

In addition to these amazing Vitamins and Minerals that are listed, Ultra Vitality includes an antioxidant blend, energy blend, nutritive herbal blend/urinary health blend, proprietary blend: digestive support/enzymes/probiotics, chlorphyll blend, and a super food blend/immune herbal blend.  These are comprised of all natural ingredients.  There is no caffine and no sugar in Ultra Vitality. 

Ultra Vitality is a vital part of everybody’s daily needs.  If you are interested in ordering, please see My Symmetry Page or click Live Better With Symmetry under blogroll.  Or you can contact me directly at lisasurvillas@healthiestlife4me.com.  In addition, the company has a Wellness Guarentee that gives you 120 days to like the product or your money back (contact me for details), so you either like them and feel better or you can get your money back.where is the harm in that?  Let’s get started on a journey to total health today!

While hanging out on Twitter one night, I saw a blurb about being able to do push-ups.  My curiosity took over and I asked why she was so focused on the amount of push-ups she could do and how many weeks she had to do it in.  @Kelownagurl responded to me with a website with this 100 Push-up Challenge. 

I have become quite impressed with my strength in the past few months.  And although I am struggling with my diet again, I am fully focused on my training.  So, I inquired at 100 Push-up Challenge to see what all this fuss was about.  And now have committed to this challenge.  The program can be as long as 6 weeks depending upon how many push-ups you can currently do. 

Here is how the program works:

1. Take an assessment of how many pushups you can do in one sitting.  Do the push-ups correctly and don’t cheat if you want the program to work. 

2.  Go to the website 100 Push-up Challenge and email Steve and let him know that you are taking the challenge and he will add you to the list.  Admitting to someone that you are taking the challenge will keep you accountable.  Recruit a physical partner if you’d like to report to someone physically each week.  Feel free to comment here each week if you want to have encouragement from me.

3.  Print up each week and follow the directions.  You do push-ups 3 times a week and depending upon the week you are told to start in and the amount you are capable of will determine how your workout will look each day.

4.  Follow each week without cheating.

5.  When you complete week 6, you will rest for 2 days and then you will try to do a set of 100 push-ups!

It may seem weird to have the need to do 100 push-ups, but the push-up is the most comprehensive upper body exercise that you can do.  And most importantly.it can be done ANYWHERE!!  You don’t need any special equipment or special facilities to do it in.  When executing a  regular push-up you are pushing 60% of your body weight.  When you elevate your feet and do decline push-ups you push 80% of your body weight.  Talk about upper body strength training. 

So let’s get started on this journey together.  And just because I am starting my program next week, doesn’t mean you can’t start yours anytime.  You will be so proud of yourself for the accomplishment and even with the way your arms take shape!

If your husband is anything like mine, then they think they are invincible too.  They don’t need any preventative types of things because they are too Masculine, Cool, whatever to get any type of sickness or disease, right?  Well.when yours ends up with a little cold or flu, is he sick on the couch like he’s dying?  Funny.that the invincible man can be such a baby, huh? 

It took me a little convincing, but my husband has a history of prostate cancer in his family.  His paternal grandfather died of it and his uncle just battled it.  I have heard, but don’t know where and can’t find it anywhere, that 1 in 2 men will end up with prostate cancer.  Those statistics are scary.  In fact, they scared my husband because he holds a greater risk since he has had it in the family.  So, I convinced him to take the Genesis for prevention.   Soon after including that into his diet, I learned of another product to support men’s health specifically including the prostate. Symmetry makes another great men’s product called Male Balance.

Male Balance is a supplement that is used to address the men’s hormonal system.  Although it is not often addressed, men, like women do have a hormonal system that requires proper maintenance and nutrition for support and balance as well.  In fact, studies revealed that about 190,000 new cases of serious prostate disease are diagnosed in the United States every year.  As a male, regardless of your age, you should be concerned about the health of your prostate and overall system. Keeping your system strong and healthy is vital for the years to come. 

Symmetry’s Male Balance is a natural solution to men’s most common concerns.  It is designed to naturally support the proper functioning of men’s systems and increase prostate strength.  Our formula is derived from all natural ingredients so you can ensure that you are getting the essentials for a strong, vibrant, healthy future. 

Symmetry’s Male Balance is the natural source for male vitality without the potential side effects associated with prescription drugs.

Ingredients Include:

Saw Palmetto that are recognized for its ability to support prostate health, the urinary tract and the entire male system.

Synergistically blended with a powerful combination of other botanicals known to support and strengthen the prostate

African Pygeum and Chinese Ginseng with a combined effect of saw palmetto to provide natural benefits to male health, Performance and the libido

Proprietary blend of nutrients including Zinc and Vitamin E, working in conjunction with the botanicals to support, balance and nourish the entire male system. 

Symmetry’s Male Balance is a natural solution to men’s most common concerns (or at least their wives concerns for them).

The bottle comes with 90 caplets in it and a serving is 1 a day, therefore making it an every other month purchase.  It is a great product to add to you man’s protection arsenal.
