“When a zoo celebrates International Red Panda Day, most zoos
put together a list of activities and enrichment time,” says Sarah
Glass, curator of red pandas for Zoo Knoxville in Tennessee.
“That may mean more feedings, or they’ll show training sessions
or the pandas might get a feeder puzzle to keep them active.” No
special events at your zoo? Head to the red panda exhibit as the
zoo opens or just before closing, as that’s when the cuties are most
active, says Glass. You can also watch the fun at home by checking
a webcam like BeardsleyZoo.org/indoor-red-panda-cam.
See them play!
You know that expressing your thanks to someone can boost your
well-being, but it also puts extra pep in their step, say researchers at
the University of Central Florida. They had subjects fill out daily
surveys at work reporting their energy levels and how appreciated
they felt, and found that people felt 17% more energized each time
someone showed gratitude for them. “Feeling appreciated sends
a signal that you’re positively regarded, and that evokes a sense of
vigor—or high energy,” says researcher Maureen Ambrose, Ph.D.
“And this increased energy translated to higher levels of optimism,
life satisfaction and willingness to help others.”
Spread joy!

Loving on your dog is a great way to lift
your spirits—and your pooch loves it too!
When Rover.com asked 1,000 dog owners
about their dog’s love language, physical
touch (like hugging and petting) was the
top response, followed by quality time,
gifts and kind words. “The act of cuddling
your dog causes the brain to release the
happy hormone, oxytocin,” explains Arden
Moore, author of What Dogs Want, who
is also known as America’s pet health and
safety coach. “It’s a feel-good hormone:
For the pet it makes them feel safe, secure
and adored, and it boosts our feelings of
happiness.” Plus, snuggling helps you and
your pup feel connected!
Enjoy sweet cuddles

For your best sandwich yet: You don’t need fancy
bread, says chef Eric Greenspan, author of The Great
Grilled Cheese Book. “The classics call for the classics:
good old-fashioned white bread.” But don’t be afraid to
experiment, says Greenspan, who likes swapping ham
for salami, using different cheeses (try Gouda, Swiss,
Emmental or Comté) and slathering jam on the bread.
Says Greenspan, “The key is to cook it on low heat for a
longer period of time, which gives it a chance to crisp up.”

Getting into this diet was so easy and the results were so

complement to my busy lifestyle. I know that I am losing
weight in a healthy way! My husband has started asking me

wonderful! Thank you times 10 million!

21DAYS
TO A SLIMMER, SEXIER YOU!
THE SMOOTHIE DIET is a revolutionary new life-
transformation system that not only guarantees to help
you lose weight and feel better than you have in years, it
also promises to eliminate more body fat - faster than
anything you’ve tried before.
This Is NOT just a big book of smoothie recipes. You're getting the
same proven 3-Week weight loss and health improvement program
I share with my private clients. The secret that makes the Smoothie
Diet so effective is the Custom 3-Week Weight Loss Schedule. All
the smoothies are given in a very specific sequence and frequency to
maximize your results. For example the nutrient and ingredient ratios
vary week to week to make sure the weight keeps coming off and stays
off.
WHAT MAKES THE SMOOTHIE DIET DIFFERENT?
15. thing about the Smoothie Diet is that it kicks off a chain-reaction of lifestyle changes that reduce or
eliminate the factors that exacerbate the disease, and reverses the condition in some individuals.
Please note that while I am a nutrition expert, I am not a doctor. If you have diabetes or ANY other
health condition, you should always consults with your doctor first before making any dietary changes.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME IN THE DAY, IS THIS HARD TO FOLLOW?
If you don’t have a lot of time in the day, then this program is PERFECT for you . My ideal
customer is a busy mom who works, goes to school, has errands to run, kids to drop off/pick up, etc. I
designed this program to be super simple and take minutes a day. I even provide tips on how to cut
corners to shave some valuable extra minutes off your smoothie prep. The recipes are quick to make
and you can either enjoy them right after you make them or take them with you. You’ll always have a
delicious, filling meal with you. And if you can press one button on your blender then you can follow
this program :)
DO I NEED AN EXPENSIVE BLENDER OR ARE THE INGREDIENTS HARD TO FIND?
With the increased popularity of smoothies, blender prices have gotten very competitive. The most
important thing is to have a blender with a strong motor. While the bender you have now will
probably work just fine, If you are serious about making a big change in your health, then I show you
some of the top-of-the-line blenders. But I also show you cheaper models that will work just fine and
are under $50. The ingredients are not hard to find and if they are, I provide a full “Swap List” that
shows you easy substitutes to use if you can’t find something.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT COMES IN THE MAIL?
This is a fully digital product. You will not receive anything in the mail. The great thing about this is
that you will have access to it in minutes. You don't have to wait for anything to arrive on your
doorstep. I want to harness the excitement you're feeling right now and get you started right away.
You can even do your week 1 shopping today and start tomorrow…or start today! The files are in PDF
format. After you checkout, you will automatically be taken to a page where you can download and
view everything on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. For those of you who would prefer a
printed book, the Quickstart Bonus is designed for this. It is a 20-page shortened version of the main
guide that can be printed out and followed just like a printed book.
WHAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME?
If for some reason this program does not work for you even though you have followed it exactly as I
have laid out, I have no problem giving you a full refund. I'll even cover you for a full 60 days so if
you are unhappy for any reason over the next 2 months, you get your money back. If you are not
happy with the program, then I don’t want you to have to pay for it. I believe in building relationships
with my customers and your satisfaction is my #1 priority.
Yes Drew, I’m sick and tired of being overweight, having no energy, and worrying about my health.
I’m ready to make a change! I understand that my order is fully guaranteed for 60 days and I will
have instant access to the programafter ordering so I can start burning fat as soon as today!

As a

show That’s

was her own
mama
A
s her cellphone dinged, Lisa Wright glanced at
the screen, and her breath caught. Her DNA
results from 23andMe were in. This is it…I’ll
finally know about my past, her heart thundered.
Clicking on the message, Lisa immediately looked
for matched relatives. At the top of the list was the
name Carlton Moody, followed by the words: This
person is your uncle.
Nervous but curious, Lisa messaged him, explaining
she’d had her DNA tested. It says I am your niece.
Intrigued, Carlton replied and, soon after, the two
connected by phone. When she shared her birthdate,
Carlton knew Lisa was indeed his niece, the daughter
his sister had given up as a teen.
“What is my mother’s name?” Lisa asked.
“It’s Lynne,” he responded. “Lynne Moody.”
The name sounded familiar. So when they hung up,
Lisa Googled her name and was stunned. She instantly
recognized her—from TV!
A joyous discovery
Adopted at 3 months old in Los Angeles by Naomi and
Phillip Wright, Lisa was told early on that she had been
adopted. “Your mommy truly loved you but was really
young and couldn’t take care of you,” they explained.
Grateful for the gift they had been given, the Wrights
gave Lisa a loving and happy life. One of her favorite
memories was gathering around the TV with the family
every Wednesday night to watch their favorite sitcom,
That’s My Mama. A character on the show was played
by Lynne Moody, and as a little girl, Lisa had always
thought she was so pretty.
Being adopted, Lisa didn’t look like anyone in her
family, and she’d often wonder who she did look like,
but she was genuinely happy, so she left the past in the
past. Decades rolled by, Lisa built a career as an account
executive, became a mother in her early 20s, then raised
At age 54, Lisa Wright, who’d been
adopted as an infant, decided to do
a DNA test to find out more about her
heritage…and it revealed shocking
news: Her biological mom was a TV
star she’d watched her whole life!

her son, Nic, as a single mom. Over the
years, she would wonder about her ancestry.
So would Nic. When she was 54, with his
urging, Lisa decided to have her DNA tested
by 23andMe.
Now she gazed in awe at Lynne’s picture
on her computer screen, not because her bio-
logical mother was a celebrity but because
for the first time someone looked like her.
Role of a lifetime
Just then, Lisa’s phone rang.
“Is this my daughter?” a woman’s
voice asked.
“Oh, my God…is this my
mother?” Lisa blurted as
tears streamed.
“Yes, sweetie, this is your
mom,” Lynne wept, words
she dreamed of saying for
54 years.
Lynne had just turned 18
and moved to Hollywood to try to
make it as an actress when she had Lisa.
Deep in her heart, Lynne longed to keep
her baby but she had no job. No money. So
she signed the adoption papers, praying her
daughter would have a good, happy life.
Lynne went on to have a successful career
on TV and in films, appearing in Knots
Landing and Roots. Still, there was always a
void in her heart. Over the years, she tried to
find her daughter, registering on Ancestry.
com and on an adoption reunion site. When
her brother called and told her he’d spoken
to her daughter, Lynne sobbed in disbelief
and in gratitude.
She immediately called Lisa.
“I want to see you,” she wept.
Learning they lived only minutes apart,
they arranged to meet at Lynne’s house
the next day. On June 2, 2018, as Lisa’s
car rolled into the driveway, it was as if all
time just melted away.
“My baby!” Lynne cried, hugging her
daughter.
“Mom,” Lisa choked. From
that moment on, the two
became inseparable. They
enjoyed discovering many
similarities, such as hav-
ing the same mannerisms,
sharing the same values
and both being animal lov-
ers. Lynne was thrilled when,
soon after, she met her grand-
son. Having never had any other
children, he was an unexpected gift.
“If my adoptive parents were still alive, I
know they would be so happy for me,” Lisa
shares. “I feel so grateful and blessed!”
Lynne smiles. “God works in mysterious
ways,” the now-75-year-old beams. “No
matter where life took me, there was always
a void knowing I had a daughter out there.
But if you keep the faith, you just may get a
miracle like we did!”

good” hormone oxytocin in your brain,
but a study published in Psychological
Science found that people who often
receive hugs from loved ones are signif-
icantly less likely to get sick than those
who don’t. The reason? Study authors
say physical contact and emotional sup-
port help ward off potential infection.
2Slashes stress!
“Interacting with a close social
network—especially face-to-face as
opposed to digitally—significantly
reduces stress, depression and anxi-
ety,” says Dr. Todd Thatcher, D.O. In
fact, researchers have found that being
physically present with loved ones fos-
ters a stronger feeling of emotional sup-
port, which helps dial down levels of the
stress hormone cortisol.
3Increases longevity!
People who have satisfying rela-
tionships with family and friends,
and see them often, are significantly
happier and healthier than those who
do not, says an article from Harvard
Health Publishing. What’s more, one
recent Harvard study found that strong
relationships and frequent in-person
connections protect against damaging
health issues and increase longevity
by up to 50%!

Celebrity stylist Samantha Brown
suggests adding pops of color (like a bold

fabric won’t come off looking dull.”
Sidestep creases for all-day style
The thin fabric is prone to wrinkling, so
Brown advises toting a DIY spray to keep
it pressed on the go. To do: Mix 1 cup of
water, 1 tsp. of fabric softener and 1 tsp. of
rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle; spritz on
creases and tug on fabric to loosen them.

The menthol in peppermint increases
circulation to the scalp, promoting
blood and oxygen flow to hair fol-
licles, which encourages strands to
grow in stronger and fuller. And
because the herb has an invigo-

brain to quickly boost alertness and
productivity.
Q TRY IT! Mix 1 Tbs. of coconut oil (it
plumps strands) and 3 drops of pepper-
mint essential oil. Massage onto damp
scalp for 1 minute. Let sit 5 minutes,

With all that’s going on, who wants to worry about rising blood
pressure? Not you! And while new Cedars-Sinai research suggests
that the “top number” of a woman’s blood pressure should optimally
be 10 points lower than that for a man (or 110 mmHg instead of 120),
these strategies are proven to deliver lasting results in minutes a day
Brushed onto garlic bread, stirred into pasta,
drizzled over roasted veggies—the tasty
ways to enjoy extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
are endless. And Spanish research reveals
getting about 4 Tbs. of EVOO in your daily
diet can slash blood pressure by up to 15
points in four weeks. Polyphenols in the oil
boost the production of nitric oxide, a sub-
stance that helps blood vessels dilate.
Remember when you were little and your
mom scolded you for wiggling around all
the time? Turns out, that wiggling is a good
thing! Australian scientists found that folks
who broke up prolonged periods of sitting
with 3-minute walk breaks every half-hour
lowered their blood pressure 10 points.
Study authors say sitting makes the heart
work harder to move blood out of lower
limbs, and brief bouts of moving around
are all it takes to counter the effect.
Have you ever broken open a fresh pome-
granate? If so, you know how decadent
those plump kernels can be. And they’re not
only delicious enjoyed fresh, in smoothies
or sipped as juice, they’re pressure-easing
powerhouses: Research in Clinical Nutrition
shows eating 1 to 2 pomegranates daily low-
ers blood pressure by up to 11 points in a
month. Antioxidants in the juice fight the
cellular stress that causes pressure to climb.
A compound called astaxanthin, which
abounds in sea algae, enhances the elastic-
ity of blood vessels and improves circula-
tion to bring blood pressure down. So say
experts reporting in the Asia Pacific Journal
of Clinical Nutrition, who found that supple-
menting with astaxanthin daily lowered
blood pressure by 11 points within eight
weeks. To try: Naomi Organic Astaxanthin

A 20-minute stroll cuts bloat
and cramps by 58% and
provides complete relief in
as little as 1 hour, Chinese
scientists say. Moving the
large muscles in your hips
and thighs stimulates nerves
that tell your intestines it’s
time to “go”!
Cooler fall days just got even more glorious—and you want to have the
happy energy to enjoy every minute! Here, delightful ways to perk up
The right-now Rx
When you’re feeling bloated and backed up, you know
drugstore remedies can get things moving. But you don’t
like how, um, dramatic their effects can be. And you
worry (with good reason) that your body could become
dependent upon them. Luckily, safe, natural cures can
quickly get things moving—just find the one right for you
Found! Mood boosters
better than meds
Your best gentle constipation reliever
Saying good morning to sunshine is twice
as effective at lifting your spirits as Prozac,
German scientists say. Basking in morning
light acts as a natural SSRI, a commonly
prescribed medication used to treat blue
moods, by triggering the brain to release a
flood of feel-good hormones like serotonin.
Plus, setting your internal body clock helps
hormones stay balanced the rest of the day.
Tip: Step outside to enjoy the changing sky
as the sun rises or to watch the clouds float
by over the treetops. University of Alabama
researchers found seeing both land and sky
improved folks’ levels of happiness for hours.
Ever notice that eating an orange brightens
your mood? There’s good reason, according
to a study in Biomedical Journal. Breathing
in a compound called d-limonene, which is
released when you peel back the skin of an
orange, works as well as Valium at releas-
ing calming brain waves, boosting your
mood for up to 24 hours. Tip: Inhale the
citrus scent through your nose for a count
of 4, hold for 8, then exhale for 10. Repeat
5 times. Yale research shows
deep breathing calms your
autonomic nervous system to
quash stress in 60 seconds.
Research published in the journal Nature
finds that the pineapple in the comfort-food
classic contains sky-high levels of the happi-
ness hormone serotonin and the amino acid
tryptophan, which help your body ramp up
mood-leveling hormones. The payoff: A
slice lifts your spirits just like the popular
antidepressant Prozac. Need a quick fix?

Do you wake up in discomfort?
Constipation doubles your risk
of sleep-sabotaging abdominal
pain since your intestines can
spasm as they try to keep stool
moving. Triphala, an herbal
remedy popular in India, can
provide relief by morning and
lessen the odds of nighttime
cramping by 67% if you take
1,000 mg. at bedtime, Canadian
scientists say. It gently stimulates
intestinal walls while also calm-
ing pain nerves. To try: Now
Foods Triphala (iHerb.com).
If you’re sometimes constipated
and other times have diarrhea, it
may be IBS (irritable bowel syn-
drome). Research in the Journal
of Neurogastroenterology and
Motility suggests that taking
2 Tbs. of aloe vera juice daily
cuts constipation risk by up to
59%. Aloe’s gentle laxatives
also ease diarrhea-triggering
intestinal inflammation.
Always constipated? Enjoying
1 cup of mango daily can
double the number of bowel
movements you have each
week. So say University of
Connecticut scientists, who
found that mango’s gallotannins
prod your intestines to release
GI-regulating hormones.
For occasional constipation, try
magnesium oxide before bed. A
Journal of Neurogastroenterology
and Motility study found this
mineral helped GI muscles con-
tract, improving bowel func-
tion in 8 hours (results better
than OTC laxatives). To try:

Fibroids?
By age 50, up to 80% of women
have one of these benign
growths, which can cause pain-
ful abdominal pressure and
other symptoms. A natural fix:
Take 3,000 IUs of vitamin D-3
daily. Scientists at Nashville’s
Meharry Medical College say
D-3 shrinks fibroids by up
to 75% and reduces the risk
of future growths by 40% by

Twice daily, massage a mixture
of 8 drops of wintergreen essen-
tial oil and 2 Tbs. of lotion into
your knees. This could cut joint
stiffness and pain by 60% in 10
days. Scientists say wintergreen’s
methyl salicylate relaxes tight
muscles and calms pain nerves.
Carpal tunnel?
Hand and wrist pain can be
treated without surgery almost
85% of the time, British doc-
tors say. Turns out, a roll of

FORMULATION, HOVIS, SDN BHD
Researchers studied an area of the scalp equal to
2x2 cm and counted the hairs at the beginning
of the study, at 4 months and at 8 months. At the
end of the study, the participants on the tocotrie-
nol supplement had gained on average 34.5%
more hair or an increase in average hair count
from 285 to 383 hairs.**
Both studies used a patented
tocotrienol complex, which in the USA
is available in the product Hair GroTM
,

THE FRUIT EXTRACT
Scientists at the University of Kuala Lumpur
have identified compounds in palm fruits,
called tocotrienols, which significantly help
promote hair growth. They are thought to
reduce inflammation levels in the scalp,
which is commonly associated with thin
hair.
THE STUDY RESULTS
Repeatedly, studies are confirming the ef-
fect of tocotrienols in helping hair count.
In a clinical study done to obtain the US
patent, scientist could show that everyone
in the study group taking 50 mg of a tocot-
rienol complex, had positive results after 5
months.
THE SECOND STUDY
A second, larger study, was done to confirm
the results. The study group was monitored
for the number of hairs in a pre-determined
scalp area at 0, 4 and 8 months. The results
were impressive. Hair growth increased sig-
nificantly as compared to the placebo group,
recording a 16% increase at 4 months and a
34.5% increase at the end of the 8-months,
compared to a 0.1% decrease in the control
group.

more than boost your mood—it shores up your health too!
OR SNAP A PHOTO! In a University
of Vermont study, dieters who
tracked their food and drink
intake by taking photos with their

35. OR OPEN THE CURTAINS! When
learning something new, like how to craft
a mum centerpiece, sit by a sunny window
and let the light shine in. Soaking up the
sun for 30 minutes improves recall
of new information by 90%. How? It
prompts the release of more memory-
enhancing norepinephrine in the brain,
University of Arizona scientists say.
OR SAVOR SOUP! Tomato soup counts toward
your five-a-day fruit and vegetable goal. That’s key
since nutrients in produce boost your immune sys-
tem and lower your risk of a cold, U.K. scientists say.
Sounds counterintuitive, but regularly
socializing with six or more people, say,
by hosting a potluck dinner or joining a
book club, makes you 43% less likely to
develop cold symptoms than socializing
with one or two people, Carnegie Mellon
scientists say. Interacting with a wide
variety of folks exposes you to more types
of germs, which acts as exercise for your
immune system, making it stronger.
Attending any type of religious services
weekly (in-person or via Zoom) cuts lung
aging by up to 50%, Harvard scientists say,
by making it easier for your ticker to take in

famous apple pies with the new family that moved
in next door. For every connection you make with
those close to where you live, you’ll lower your
risk of heart trouble by 22% and stroke by 15%, a
University of Michigan study found. Having strong
ties to your community increases feelings of safety,
trust and support, which lower heart-harming stress.
OR SIP A LATTE! Drinking two cups
of caffeinated coffee daily lowers the risk
of serious heart trouble 30%, University of
Colorado scientists say. Coffee has protec-
tive polyphenols, plus German scientists
say caffeine wards off damage to heart cells.

You may have suspected as much, and
now University of Rochester researchers
confirm that enjoying your favorite hob-
bies with pals, say, in a knitting circle or
bowling league, really is more satisfying
than doing them alone. That’s because the
presence of other folks intensifies the expe-
rience. A surprising bonus? Joining leisure
groups also boosts memory! According to
University of Pittsburgh scientists, meeting
regularly to enjoy a shared activity prompts
the growth of more gray matter in mem-
ory-managing areas of the brain (the tem-
poral lobe and orbitofrontal cortex), keeping
recall sharp. Tip: Find hobby groups at

osca’s strategy is

5–6 small sittings a
day, each packed with
protein, good fat, fiber
and antioxidants. These

Plus, you get one every 2–3

no psychological sense of going

that’s the key to success when
weaning off sugar,” says Tosca,
62, who shed 84 pounds and
stumbled onto a new career as
she experimented with ways to
break her own sugar addiction
years ago.
If results seem dramatic,
here’s why: Scientists say sugar’s
impact goes far beyond empty
calories. All the sweets and pro-
cessed carbs we eat gradually
damage cells, making it hard for
the hormone insulin to get sugar
inside of them to be burned for
energy. We make more insulin
to force the sugar in, but no
luck. Our cells, starving for fuel,
If your waist keeps expanding despite your best efforts, “a gentle sugar
detox can make all the difference,” insists nutrition expert Tosca Reno,
mega-selling author of The Eat-Clean Diet. “There’s sugar in 80% of the
food on supermarket shelves. So we may not realize it, but most of us
are in the grips of sugar addiction.” Studies show that, like opioid drugs,
sugar hijacks the brain’s pleasure center, stoking constant cravings. The
average person now consumes 152 pounds of sugar per year, an excess
that wreaks havoc on body chemistry and leads to fatigue, rapid belly-
fat storage, blocked fat loss and a high risk for many diseases. Yet most
diets feed the addiction or do little to soften withdrawal. “I saw the need
for a plan that feels good and gets the job done,” says Tosca, who
created Strike Sugar 2.0. Women are raving. “They tell me their cravings
are gone and they’re vibrating with energy and radiating joy and health.”
They also shed up to 12.5 pounds a week!

WORKS!
After a lifetime of sneaking candy bars and late-night
fridge raids, Sandra Mendoza found her go-to diets
stopped working. “I was gaining weight, my belly kept
getting bigger, my cholesterol and blood sugar kept
going up. I felt powerless,” recalls the California grand-
mother, 57. Then she heard about Tosca’s plan. “I
loved that it was working for women with sugar addic-
tions.” She found protein-rich mini meals (her favorite:
air-fryer salmon with sautéed veggies) worked won-
ders. Her belly flattened right away. “I had some crav-
ings on days 9 and 10, but that was it!” After the detox
was over, she stuck with the basics. All told, she shed
46 pounds and five jean sizes, and her blood work is in
great shape. “For the first time ever, sugar is not con-
trolling me. If you’re looking for freedom, try this plan!”

It’s abs-olutely fantastic,” she

Real-world wow
“Before Tosca’s sugar detox, my
cravings never let up,” shares
Stefanie Rodriguez. Her weight
crept higher, and she hid in
loose clothes—but couldn’t
escape her aches, pains and
exhaustion. A pal suggested
Tosca’s plan, and the California
mom, 38, began whipping up
protein-rich mini meals—like
turkey lettuce wraps and herbed
yogurt on detox bread (recipe
below). “I can 100% say I never
felt hungry and my cravings
vanished in days!” After four
weeks, “my waist was already
7.75 inches smaller.” Amazed,
she kept at it and has traded her
old size 18s for 10s.
Then there’s Debi Stevens,
who says both keto and inter-
mittent fasting made her
cranky and failed to get rid of
her “menopause belly.” She
found Tosca’s Facebook page.
Intrigued, she joined a group
using the Strike Sugar plan.
She batch-cooked things like
chicken dishes and healthy
meatballs so she’d always

inflammation. It also means
fat burn, especially around the

The secrets that make
Tosca’s approach so
effective? First, it
gently cuts blood
sugar–spiking
foods that would
do more dam-
age. Second, it
delivers lots of
protein in small,
steady doses. Arciero
explains that the body can
use small doses most effectively,
absorbing maximum amino
acids to repair sugar-damaged
cells. Cells heal—often in about
four weeks, the length of Tosca’s
detox. And all the while, magic
happens. “Many people imme-
diately feel less hunger and more
energy and start losing weight,”
confirms Dr. Bradley. “I just
had a patient in constant fibro-
myalgia-like pain try protein-
rich mini meals. The pain just
went away. The results are very
impressive and gratifying!”
trigger intense cravings for carbs
and sweets. Meanwhile, all that
unburned sugar circulates in
the blood through our entire
systems, causing inflamma-
tion and damage, “even
in the brain,” notes
Elizabeth Bradley,
M.D., director
of the Cleveland
Clinic’s Center
for Functional
Medicine. Unburned
sugar is finally stored
as belly fat. We grow tired
and foggy, and diabetes and
other diseases may take hold.
But there’s good news…

College tested a plan similar to
Tosca’s, folks not only lost up

Doctors told Deb Provin-Martin that her acid
reflux had caused an incurable precancerous
condition and that only being on medication for
the rest of her life could keep it at bay. But with
a simple supplement, she proved them wrong!

our acid reflux has
evolved into a serious
precancerous condi-
tion,” Deb Provin-Martin
was told after an endoscopy.
Deb’s stomach dropped. The
Portland, Oregon, then-51-year-
old had been suffering
from heartburn for
years. So she’d
expected to
hear the pain
in her throat
and chest was
acid-related,
but assumed
it would be
easily treatable.
She listened ner-
vously as the doctor explained
how her condition, called
Barrett’s esophagus, occurs
when stomach acid regularly
comes up into the throat and
damages the tissue lining the
esophagus, which increases
the risk of cancer. “There is no
cure, so you’re going to have to
be on medication for the rest of
your life,” he told her, prescrib-
ing proton pump inhibitors
(PPIs) to reduce stomach acid.
Deb was terrified. She had
read about PPIs and their
potential side effects. “I really

don’t want to take them. I don’t
want to take any medication,”
she said. The doctor openly
laughed when Deb, who was
attending nutrition school at
the time, told him she wanted
to see if she could heal by
adjusting her diet first.
“This isn’t something
you can fix with
diet,” he said,
dismissively.
Frustrated,
Deb didn’t bother
responding. I’ll
just figure this out
for myself then, she
thought defiantly.
A hopeful solution
Doing some research, Deb
learned that certain foods can
cause the esophageal sphincter,
the muscle that prevents stom-
ach acid from backing up, to
relax, causing reflux. Some
common triggers include
chocolate, coffee and wine—
some of Deb’s favorites. She
even did wine tastings as a
hobby. Still, she immediately
cut out all three.
Deb had also read about
the amino acid L-glutamine,
a powerful antioxidant and

Tames a sweet tooth
The amino acid L-glutamine
curbs cravings by temporarily
raising blood-glucose levels.
In one study, a group given
L-glutamine beforehand
ate 25% less sugar when
given free access to vending
machines. Best dose: 500
mg. three times a day. Note:
Diabetics and prediabetics
should talk to their doctor
before supplementing.
Heals the gut lining
Cells in the intestine use
L-glutamine for maintenance
and repair, which is key to
warding off the intestinal per-
meability, or “leaky gut,” that
leads to tiredness, brain fog
and other health concerns.
Researchers in The Lancet
suggest supplementing with
1,000 mg. daily.
Protects the liver
Supplementing with
L-glutamine can reverse
fatty liver disease and the
weight gain, inflammation and
fatigue it causes, reveals a
study in the journal Nutrients.
Study author Ina Bergheim,
Ph.D., explains that the acid
blocks enzymes linked to the
development of fatty liver and
suggests 1,000 mg. daily.
Surprising
health benefits
of L-glutamine
anti-inflammatory that reduces
the swelling and pain that reflux
causes, and helps strengthen the
esophageal sphincter. Hopeful,
Deb began taking 3 grams a
day of Metagenics Glutagenics
L-glutamine powder ($62
for a three-month supply;
you can also find a variety of
L-glutamine powders online
starting as low as $10).
Deb then set a three-month
test period—vowing if this
didn’t help, she’d try the medi-
cation. But to her joy, the pain,
coughing and throat-clearing
caused by the reflux dramati-
cally improved in just weeks.
As her symptoms abated, she
switched to just 1–2 grams per
day of the L-glutamine supple-
ment, and after another three
months, Deb felt so good that
she slowly started adding back in
some of her reflux trigger foods.
“I had my first glass of wine
nine months after giving it
up, and it was awesome!” Deb
beamed to a friend. “I was even
more excited when I woke up
the next day and there was no
pain!” Soon after, Deb went
for a follow-up endoscopy with
a new doctor who said that,
remarkably, the test showed no
sign of Barrett’s esophagus or
precancerous cells.
Although neither doc-
tor would acknowledge that
she had cured her acid reflux
and Barrett’s esophagus with
L-glutamine and her diet, Deb
says the results speak for them-
selves. “I don’t get reflux any-
more and the damage is healed,”
smiles the 58-year-old, who now
owns the health coaching busi-
ness SustainYourLife.com. “I’ll
raise a glass of wine to that!”

46. Shorten your bucket list
“Ask yourself, what are two
things you’d regret not doing?”
says Ryan. Then give them a
clear time line. “Look ahead
two or three years. For example,
I wrote that in 2023, I want to
spend three weeks in Australia.”
Giving yourself a deadline
makes you accountable to your
dreams, she assures. “Women
tell me all the time, ‘I wish had
done X sooner,’ so get out there
and start doing.”
Feel ‘time rich’
“So many retirees say, ‘I wonder
how I ever had time to work!’
because time slips through their
fingers,” reveals Bushey, who
advises having two daily rou-
tines, anything from walking to
praying, to structure your day.
well as questions like where you
want to live and what your time
line looks like,” advises Bushey.
“Then ask yourself, Does this
reflect the balance I want?” A
short plan is concrete yet not
overwhelming, signaling to
your brain to take action.
Ask around
The decision a lot of retirees sec-
ond-guess? “They often say they
wish they had thought through
where they want to live a bit
more,” says expert Robin
Ryan. “Many people
want to downsize, so as
soon as they retire, they
move.” But relocating
even 45 minutes away can
be a huge change. “Consider
renting for a year instead of buy-
ing right away, and knock on
a few doors, asking folks what
they think of their community.
It pays to put yourself out there
to ensure it’s the right fit.”
Retire the ‘r word’
In interviewing scores of retir-
ees, Marilyn Bushey found that
most of them had an aversion
to the word “retirement.” “Call
it your ‘next chapter’ instead,
because you’ll likely have more
than just one,” she says. “Ask
yourself what’s important to you
and what brings you ‘aliveness.’”
That may mean spending more
time with hobbies or doing part-
time work, volunteering or
taking classes. “This next
phase of life brings free-
dom, but freedom can
be overwhelming—just
trying to envision the
type of ‘retirement’ you
want is the first step.”
Grab an index card
“Jot a few of your resources and
challenges on an index card,
such as your ‘team,’ mentors or
loved ones who’ll help you, as
Once you create this backbone,
you’ll feel more purposeful with
your time. In fact, studies show
the happiest retirees have about
four hobbies while the least
happy have fewer than two.
Widen your social circle
When folks on the cusp of
retirement are asked what they
think they’ll miss most, they
often say it’s the paycheck. But
when asked that question a
year after retirement, they say
it’s friendships and co-workers,
reveals expert Marilyn Watson.
“Whether you join a book club
or volunteer, it’s important to
keep those ties vital because
they’ll keep you vital.” Adds
Bushey, “Just follow your
dreams and keep exploring—
you’re free to design your life
and make a personal decision
about what this chapter will be.”

49. Soak up the last weeks of summer with a backyard gathering
that’ll bring out everyone’s inner camper. From treats to rustic
touches, it’s a sweet way to spend a weekend afternoon!
GOOD TIMES GUIDE
Add style with festive settings
Russell furthered the camp-inspired feel with fun
place settings! To get a similar look, lay a bandana
($10 for 12, OrientalTrading.com) down and top with
a camping-themed paper plate (we like Camco Life
Is Better at the Campsite Paper Plates, $5 for 25,
Amazon.com). Add on-theme napkins and trinkets.
Treat them to
a s’mores station
A s’mores station makes dessert
a breeze! Just line up graham
crackers, marshmallows and
chocolate bars on trays. Then
invite guests to toast marsh-
mallows over a grill (or nestle a
Sterno can in a fireproof bucket
filled with rocks) using metal
skewers. For extra fun, include
unexpected treats like peanut
butter cups or caramel-filled
candy bars.
Make the buffet at your backyard “campout”
a standout by showcasing festive treats and
woodsy accents, like party pro Laura Russell
(MakeLifeLovely.com) did here. For a similar
look, set a green cloth atop your table; add
a faux turf runner for a grassy look. Top with
wood slices, crates and baskets full of treats
for a rustic touch. Then, line up berry bins
and paper cups filled with Goldfish crackers
and gummy worms (“fish bait”). Hint: Create
a fun centerpiece by placing an inflatable fire
(OrientalTrading.com) on top of a wood stump.

3 tips for
‘campout’ joy!
1Serve ‘campfire cakes’
For a dessert that doubles as decor,
follow party pro Laura Russell’s lead
with campfire cupcakes! First, bake a
batch of chocolate cake mix in paper lin-
ers; let cool. Tint vanilla icing in orange
or yellow hues and frost cupcakes.
Press a few chocolate “rocks” ($9 per
pound, Nuts.com) around the edge of
icing, then add “roasting marshmal-
lows” by inserting pretzel sticks into mini
marshmallows and pushing the sticks
into the icing.
2Create a yard tent
Enhance the ambience at your
campout with a tent that’s big enough
for a group. (Bonus: It creates a shady
spot for guests to sit.) To do: String a
clothesline between trees, then drape 1
or 2 king-sized sheets over the line. Use
clothespins to secure the sheets on the
clothesline, then spread out each “tent
flap” and weigh down the edges of the
sheets with bricks. Place a rug inside
your tent; add cushions. Tip: Create
“tables” by turning over milk crates.
3Have a ‘field day’
For an activity that’s sure to get
everyone laughing, have “field day”
activities. Set up stations with simple
group games like ring toss, cornhole or
Twister. Or have a few fun competitions
like a three-legged race, dodgeball or
an egg-on-a-spoon race and offer
winners small trinkets, scratch-off
lottery tickets or award ribbons!
Refresh guests with a
signature mason jar cocktail
The light, refreshing flavors of mint and lime
in mojitos awaken taste buds between bites
of delicious treats. For camp-inspired flair,
serve each in a mason jar. (Bonus: You can
prep them before your party, add a lid and tote
to your campsite in a cooler.) To make each:
Muddle 4 to 5 mint leaves with 2 Tbs. of sugar
and 2 Tbs. of lime juice in the base of a mason
jar. Fill with ice, then add 1 oz. of white rum;
fill the rest of the glass with club soda. Gently
stir all the flavors; garnish with mint leaves.
Simplify serving with a
pretty picnic-style setup
Limit trips back and forth to your house for
supplies by placing everything you need in
a classic picnic basket. First, line the basket
with a small towel to protect the base from
spills. Pack your heaviest items on the bot-
tom (like bottles of juice or water) and layer
another towel on top—wedge the towel
between bottles to keep them from rolling
and to add a little insulation. Then, bring
out plastic pitchers, cups and other serving
helpers on an easy-to-tote tray.
Light up the day with
bloom-kissed lanterns
All it takes is some cheery blooms and a
few seconds to create a lovely lantern that
also acts as an eye-catching centerpiece!
(Plus, the glass lantern helps show off a pillar
with interesting texture—like the beeswax-
wrapped candle shown here—while also
shielding it from breezes.) Get the look by
“shopping” your home for an old lantern or
picking one up from the craft store (like 13
White Wooden Lantern, $17, Michaels.com).
Then, pop a candle or battery-run votive into
the glass lantern; sprinkle base of candle with
a few daisies or mums. Place the lantern on
a table and surround with snippets of flowers
and a few candles in ceramic holders.

Chalkboards aren’t just for the classroom!
This trendy paint technique infuses charm
and function into any space. Here, DIY pro
Dori Turner shares the super-easy how-to’s
38 9/13/21 Woman’sWorld
Add style with
IN THE LIVING ROOM: ACCENT WALL
“Chalk paint is so versatile—it comes in a variety of colors,
and it’s easy to work with,” says Turner. Plus, it creates a
blank canvas for hand-drawn art on any surface! One stylish
idea: a chalk paint accent wall. “Using chalk paint to create
a focal wall is an effortless way to offer interest to a neutral
living room.” To get the look, use a foam roller to apply 2 to
3 coats of chalk paint (like Krylon Chalkboard Paint, $16 per
qt., Amazon.com) to a wall. Let dry for up to 72 hours. Rub
chalk over the painted wall to “season” it; erase with a dry
towel before use. “For a whimsical feel, freehand a design or
use a stencil for a playful pattern, as shown.”
For more style inspiration and
savvy tips: Visit Turner’s design site
DoriTurnerInteriors.com or follow her on
Instagram @dori.turner.interiors
60. IN THE ENTRY: CHIC CLOSET
“Adding coats of chalk paint to a hallway or
entryway closet gives an area character and
draws the eye without overwhelming,” says
Turner. Chalk paint is also functional—it can
keep you organized! She suggests using the
chalk to jot down reminders or notes for fam-
ily members. Tip: To make the surface mag-
netic, apply three coats of magnetic primer
(like Magnetize-It! Magnetic Primer, $20,
Amazon.com) before painting, then hang
photos or memos.
IN THE YARD: PRETTY POTS
“Chalk paint isn’t just for furniture or walls,”
says Turner. “It can also be used to breathe
new life into dated home accents like picture
frames or planters.” Here, a few quick coats
of paint transform an old terra-cotta pot into a
modern planter. To do: Place pot on a piece
of newspaper and apply two to three coats
of chalk paint. For smaller accents, try spray
paint (like Krylon Chalk Spray Paint, $9,
Michaels.com). Let dry. Rub a piece of chalk
over surface to “season” it; wipe off with a dry
towel. Draw on a design or plant name.

IN THE KITCHEN:
PLAYFUL PANTRY
A kitchen door goes from plain to
playful with a coat of chalk paint!
Whether you’re jotting down gro-
cery lists, recipe ideas or draw-
ings, the messages will be in full
view, Turner says. To do: Apply
two to three coats of chalk paint to
closet or pantry door. Let dry. Rub
chalk over surface to “season” it;
wipe off with a dry towel.
