HOW DOES LEAN DREAMS WORK?

  • Relaxation/Sleep/Recovery:

LEAN DREAMS combines several key components specifically chosen to support relaxation, cortisol suppression and promote better sleep.

-Ingredients responsible for relaxation/sleep/recovery:

  • Oleamide: Endogenous sleep modulator.
  • L-Tryptophan Ethyl Ester: Precursor to Serotonin, 5-HTP and Melatonin.
  • Jujuba PE 2%: Used in folk medicine to promote restorative sleep.
  • Valerian: Calming agent and sleep aid.
  • Rotundine: Sleep augmentation and analgesia.
  • Melatonin: Master sleep hormone and anti-oxidant, cholinergic system protectant.
  • Supports GH Release:

Over half of our natural daily GH secretion occurs while we sleep. LEAN DREAMS combines several ingredients that support GH stimulation, in addition to the natural GH spike that results from an improved sleep state.

-Ingredients responsible for supporting GH release:

    • Berberine: Supports natural GH stimulation by way of the central cholinergic system, acts as a sleep aid/CNS depressant.
    • Hispidulin: Provides GH modulation, also acts as an anti-anxiety, uncoupler of oxidative phosphorilation (increases BMR to target fat metabolism) and is an anti-oxidant.
  • Suppresses cortisol/ targets fat utilization

Cortisol, which is the body’s stress hormone, can cause catabolism (muscle breakdown) and it also plays a major role in fat storage. Cortisol can also inhibit GH and testosterone production. Controlling cortisol levels can have a dramatic impact on body composition. LEAN DREAMS has several ingredients that have been shown to directly impact cortisol levels.

-Ingredients responsible for suppressing cortisol and targeting fat utilization:

  • Magnolia extract: Provides cortisol inhibition and anti-anxiety support.
  • Baicalin: Acts as a calming substrate, anti-anxiety and anti-cortisol.

Exercise with the Biggest Loser Workouts

We have a large interest in the TV show The Biggest Loser, and of course watch very intently the actual Biggest Loser Workouts that the contestants perform on the show, as well as their diet plan, the camaraderie between the contestants, and the psychological environment that the contestants are placed in by the trainers on the show. All in all, we feel that the show does a good job of illuminating the key points to what it takes to be successful in weight loss.

The Biggest Loser Workouts are the most obvious thing to the viewers of the show. They appear to be brutal, and as personal trainers we can tell you that a lot of them really are! Cardio endurance training and gut busting cardio intervals; resistance training that includes weight lifting, military style calisthenics, and sports performance moves; and finally all kinds of just plain hard stuff that only a trainer like Jillian would smile at: hard runs through the sand, moving tires the size of a truck, hill climbing. These last kind of workouts combine a lot of strength and power requirements with very difficult cardiovascular intensity.

Some info from the show on the MSNbc.com network site suggests that the contestants work out up to 4 to 6 hours daily, maybe more when they have challenges to meet. Amazing! My fellow LIVE Owner Bryan and I have talked about this frequently, and we ask each other, how do these people recover from these workouts and keep going? They do far more work than we would ever give a client in person, because recovery from workouts and avoiding injuries would be a huge concern at this level. «MORE

What are Healthy Bacteria Probiotics?

Probiotics have become increasingly popular especially as people are living longer and the stress that Americans put on their bodies. Probiotics are living healthy bacteria that are essential microorganisms found in your digestive system. Probiotics have been labeled "good bacteria" or "friendly bacteria" as not to confuse with most people's idea that all bacteria are harmful to your health. You many not know that probiotics are found in the food we eat.

There are many reasons why probiotics are paramount for healthy living. First, probiotics support the prevention of illness that attacks many American's immune systems. Second, probiotics restore the healthy bacteria (flora) back into your gut for optimal digestive functioning. Also, probiotics have bring the body back into balance from stress, poor diet choices, and physical activity.

Probiotics by definition are "live microorganisms, which, administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." When looking at probiotics, it is important to understand that there are many different strains of probiotics needed for optimal health. Some of the top products on the market have over 16 active stains of different probiotics in their supplement formulations. Each strain plays an active role in your digestive and overall health.

Probiotics are not prebiotics which are non-digestible food substances that enhance the functioning of healthy microorganisms already found in your colon. Probiotics and prebiotics work together in your digestive system in a synergistic relationship.

One of the more common ways for people to get all the different strains of probiotics that they need is through high quality supplements. Probiotics can also be found in yogurt, certain milk products, miso, soy milk products, and tempeh. New, products have probiotics fortified during the preparation period when not found originally with the product.

Probiotics are made up of the good bacteria in your gut. Most probiotics come from two different groups of probiotics called Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. One of the most common probiotics is Lactobacillus acidophilus which is one of many different strains of probiotics. Some other probiotics like Saccharomyces boulardii are yeasts and not bacteria.

Stress, poor diet choices, physical activity, and the medications we take all reduce the number of healthy bacteria or probiotics in our digestive system. Your body is at risk for illness, digestive functioning issues, and reduced effectiveness of your immune system when probiotic levels are low in your gut. This is the main reason why probiotics have become popular in reason years, as almost all Americans found into at least one category for why probiotic levels can be low.


Sedona Labs is a manfuacturer of high quality probiotics like iFlora and iFlora for Women.
