The more you put into it, the more you get out of itFor Clients and Friends ofTransform FX Fitness

Thats not a typo. And Im not talking about sciencefiction, either!

I just came across very recent research that couldtruly make liposuction in a bottle possible a lotsooner than we think.

Let me explain

Typically, fat loss drugs try to get you to lose weightby suppressing your appetite (so you eat less), byblocking fat absorption (so your body gets less cal-ories overall) or by boosting your metabolism (soyou BURN more calories, even while at rest).

What scientists at the University of Texas MD An-derson Cancer Center have done is almost unbe-lievable.Theyve developed an experimental drug thattargets onlyfat cellsand kills em! [1]

"Development of this compound for human usewould provide a non-surgical way to actually reduceaccumulated white fat," said Renata Pasqualini,one of the researchers working on the drug.

The drug is called Adipotide. The study, done onobese rhesus monkeys, was published in the No-vember 2011 issue ofScience Translational Medi-cine.The researchers gave ten obese monkeys the drugfor a period of four weeks. At the end of the study,the monkeys had lost a whopping 38.7 of their totalbody fat! The control group only lost 14.8 percent.

Better yet, of the fat lost, a large portion of it camefrom the abdominal area. The monkeys in the ex-perimental drug group lost 27 percent of their ab-

Whats The Deal With The Title?When I was trying to come up with a name for this newsletter, lots ofstuff went through my head onto this page. But nothing grabbed me unI hit on the title/subtitle you see now. Because I think it sort of encom-passes what I view as my role in your life: helping you really get themost bang for your buck. Helping you grab this bull by the horns andtake it for a good, long, fun and rewarding ride. My hope is that, just likeany friend, I can positively impact your life, and not just through exercisand nutrition, but also with stimulating and entertaining information. Im

certainly far from perfect, and have my moments of doubt and frustratiolike everyone, but I look at it as a privilege and an honor to have theopportunity to make my life, and to help make the lives of those aroundme, as good as they can be - as rewarding as they can be. But ulti-mately, it all comes down to what we put into it, right? The more wput into life, the more we get out of it. Return On Investment (ROI). Thmore we exercise, eat right, love, laugh, strive to accomplish goals,have fun and really LIVE...the better we feel, the better we are! It is thimmutable law of life: you get out of it what you put into it. So thawhy I chose this title.

Liposuction in a Bottle?

Community News

(aka: the juicy gossip)

Theres a rumor going around that I ampregnant after I mentioned in one of my e-mails that we are starting a family. I surewish I was! Although we are trying, I

dominal fat over the course of the four weeks.

With the success of this trial on a monkey model,the researchers are now planning a clinical trial onobese human subjects.

Patients in this new study will receive the drug daily,for four weeks as well.

Only time will tell what will happen.But if it is successful, that will surelymean a HUGE breakthrough in obe-sity research.

Think about it: Being able to targetonly bad fat cells and makingthem go away without any surgery ordiscomfort. Thats unheard of!

If this human trial is successful, who

knows how soon well be seeing bot-tles that can truly deliver on thepromise of melting fat off of yourbody. Until that time comes, it stillboils down to hard work and dedica-tion.

Youve got to eat right, strength train,and add cardiovascular exercise asneeded.

And if you want a little extraassistance with your weight lossefforts, I recommend you increaseyour fiber intake.

It will help you stay fuller, longerreducing the pos-sibility that youll overeat. And, itll prevent any bigspikes in insulin or blood sugar when you include itin your meals.

Top 5 Ways to Get Energized When

Youre Feeling Tired

Feeling tired all the time can really take a toll on yourrelationships, work and health. Here are five great way

to put that pep back into your step!1. Drink Tea. A University of London study shows

that drinking just 4-6 cups of tea throughout theday can reduce your stress hormone levels

leaving you feeling relaxed and more alert.

2. Breathe. When youre feeling in aslump, taking a few deep breaths can revi-talize you. Breathe in slowly, and hold youbreath for a second or two. Then exhaleslowly. Repeat 5-10 times and you arebound to feel more centered, calm and en-ergized.

3. Organize.A lot of times having toomuch on your plate or feeling overwhelmedcan drain you of all your energy. Purge lowvalue tasks from your to-do list, have realistic expectations of what you can accom-plish, prioritize and get organized. Youllfeel lighter, and more energetic when youtake the time to do it.

4. Take a brisk walk. Getting outside forfresh air and a change of scenery can do

wonders for your energy levels. Plus, get-ting some sun will wake you up and letyour body know that its not bedtime yet.

5. Get your thyroid checked. Chronic fatigue canoftentimes be a symptom of hypothyroidism. Simplyput, your body is not producing enough of the thyroidhormone it needs, with fatigue being one of its symptoms. Ask your doctor to get tested if you think thismay be the case.

I joined Transform FX about 5-6 months ago, after realizing that I neededto integrate strength training into my weekly workout regimen which con-sisted mostly of cardio. Since I spend a lot of time at work I knew that Ineeded to establish a routine that would be accessible and sustainable. Ialso knew that I needed to find something that would provide results, or

else I wouldnt stick to it.

The training offered at Transform FX was the solution I was lookingfor. Since joining the classes Ive noticed a reduction weight but more

importantly, Im feeling stronger and more energetic and I am engaging in ahealthier approach to food/beverage intake. Sure, it can be tough to get upearly for the 5:45 class, but for me, the hardest part is turning off the alarmand turning on the light. Once I get past those two steps, Im as good asthere. And the payoff has been worth every bit of effort. ~Rebecca

"I have been given a wonderful tool that has benefited myself, family, friends and my pets. I had both knees replaceda couple of years ago. The recovery was very painful and caused fibromyalgia. I experienced Jikiden Reiki sincethen. I am free of my cane in the mornings when I first get out of bed. My knees seem to be nice & loose and they

Dear Clients and Friends,Valentines Day is almost here. And while most people spend the bulk of their time thinking of ways to love

that special someone, not enough take the time to love themselves. Thats why during this month of love I suggestyou do something everyday to love one of the most important people in your worldYOU!

Taking time out of your day to truly appreciate yourself has many positive benefits, including higher self-

esteem, greater self-confidence, and more motivation to do the things that are good for you (like eating healthy andexercising!). That said, I know the concept of giving yourself some love can feel awkward, especially if you arentused to being nice to yourself. So here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling:

1. Set Boundaries. Having boundaries and limits with other people is a great way to start being nice toyourself. Dont always feel obligated to say yes to everything others ask of you and let people know

how you want to be treated.

2. Take care of your needs. Heres a quick way to do that: Every morning when you wake up, ask your-

self, What do I need to take care of myself today?

3. Treat yourself regularly. Do you treat or reward others whenever they do good or have achieved some-

thing positive in their lives? Why not do the same thing with you? Acknowledge your successes andyour efforts and spoil yourself a little now and then.

4. Dont criticize. All too often, we talk to ourselves poorly. Take a day or two and notice how you talk toyourself. Would you ever talk to someone you love like that? Start changing how you address yourselfmentally, and instead start being more loving and forgiving of any mistakes you make.

Be good to yourself and be sure to have a happy Valentines Day!

To Your Health,

Give Yourself Some Love
