Dear Living Fuel Family,
For many of us, “resistance training” is synonymous with “weight lifting”. And weight lifting may conjure up images of a grimy gym with sweating, grunting and hulking characters admiring themselves in floor-to-ceiling mirrors. However, as we learned in our popular SuperFit Without the Gym series, there are resistance training programs that are fun and effective for everyone that leave the dumbbells and the gym behind.
Today on LivingFuelTV, we’re pleased to introduce our friend Dave Herman, professional sports performance coach and personal trainer to elite athletes like the PGA Tour’s Trevor Immelman and the LPGA Tour’s Suzann Pettersen. Dave brings a wealth of knowledge about fitness, flexibility and wellness along with an innovative and exciting new training system that can benefit you and your whole family. For those of you that have an existing resistance training program, consider implementing the concepts you’ll learn today into your current regimen.

Dear Living Fuel Family,
You’ve held your learners permit for the past year, logged hundreds of miles behind the wheel and feel confident at a four-way stop and in thorny rush hour traffic. You’re a bit tired of borrowing the family sedan, so all that’s missing is a car of your own. And now, on your 16th birthday, your parents present you with a beautiful brand new car – a dream come true!
There’s just one catch. This car will be the only one you’ll own for your lifetime. Imagine the care and attention you’d give your new prized possession—only the best oil, the highest quality gasoline and regularly scheduled preventative maintenance from your mechanic. This allegory applies to your body—the single most complex and high-performing machine you’ll ever own.
Today, we conclude our well-received series of interviews with Dr. Patrick Purdue, Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DO) and Doctor of Naturopathy (ND). Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine said “Let your food be your medicine.” Our topic today is nutrition, specifically the food we choose as fuel for our bodies. What we eat and what we give our family to eat significantly impacts our health today and in the years to come.

Dear Living Fuel Family,
For many, pain is a constant companion. Lower back, neck, knee, joint and shoulder pain are all-too-common in today’s society for a variety of reasons. Our conventional medical system often simply prescribes a pharmaceutical to mask the pain and seldom targets the root cause. In numerous cases this approach eventually leads to surgery, which is thought to be the only option.
However, there are safe and effective alternative treatments administered everyday that we do not hear about. Why? Because these procedures often lack the marketing reach and profit potential of conventional medicine.
Today, we present our second in a series of interviews with Dr. Patrick Purdue, Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DO) and Doctor of Naturopathy (ND). We introduce you to prolotherapy, a simple, nonsurgical, non-toxic treatment for chronic pain that both triggers and works in concert with your body’s own innate healing abilities. This “new” treatment option has actually been used for many years. We strongly urge you to explore the possibility of prolotherapy before considering surgery for chronic pain or injury!

Dear Living Fuel Family,
We hear a lot in the news today about improving our health “naturally.” But what does that mean? What are the best natural methods of healing? And how do they compare with conventional medicine? Monica and I very much prefer natural approaches to maintaining our health. Our family does not use pharmaceuticals except as a last resort (which has not been necessary).
I sat down with my friend Dr. Patrick Purdue this week to talk about natural healing. Dr. Purdue is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and a Naturopathic Doctor. As a primary care provider in the State of Florida, he has a unique insight into health issues families face every day .
Oriental Medicine is much more than acupuncture needles. In fact, that’s only 10% of the healing therapies used in the doctor’s practice. Oriental Medicine also includes internal medicine, nutrition, naturopathy, as well as many other areas of medicine.
With the recent drastic changes in healthcare in this country, it’s important to know that being healthy does not necessarily have to involve drugs or surgery. It is more important than ever to take control of your own health, and Oriental Medicine, Chiropractic, and Naturopathy can play a key role in augmenting and sometimes replacing conventional therapies. I’m excited to bring you this interview with Dr. Purdue because it will shed new light on this ancient practice and on other types of medicine often called “alternative.”

The health benefits of optimal omega-3 levels are astounding and just about everyone you know is deficient.
We’ve been teaching about omega-3 for many years as a cornerstone of The Four Corners of Superfood Nutrition. It’s a nutrient that you and your family simply must have! Recently, you’ve heard much about this essential fatty acid in the news, in your favorite magazine, from your doctor, trainer or perhaps your friends. You’ve determined that your family should add an omega-3 supplement to your daily regimen, so which omega-3 product on the market is the very best? And if you already have a favorite brand, what other nutrients must you take to protect yourself?
In this week’s video HealthAlert, we revisit our useful guide to evaluating and choosing your family’s fish oil, including a look at the philosophy and science behind Living Fuel’s popular SuperEssentials Omega.

Dear Living Fuel Family,
It’s hard to top a cold, crisp fresh-cut watermelon on a scorching summer day. Fresh fruit and vegetables are among the most powerful (and flavorful) fuel for our bodies! In today’s timely HealthAlert, we explore how we can maximize the nutrition of our favorite produce and protect our families from potential hazards such as herbicides and pesticides.
It’s best to shop the perimeters of our grocery store, but how do we safely navigate the vast array of colorful fruits and vegetables in the produce section? Which non-organic fruits and vegetables are OK to eat when the organically-grown equivalent is not available? Which should you always try to purchase organically and why? Which fruits and vegetables are genetically-modified? Which are listed in the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” and which are on the “Clean 15″? What is a PLU number and why is it important?

Dear Living Fuel Family,
This week marked the official first day of summer and as the temperatures heat up outside our family’s attentions have turned to outdoor sun-drenched activities – in the pool, park or at the beach.
There is much debate about the importance and potential dangers of sun exposure and the value of sunscreen to block the sun and protect our skin. So, is sun exposure harmful? How effective are sunscreens? Are the sunscreen ingredients that we lather on our family’s skin doing more harm that good? We tackle this subject in today’s important HealthAlert.
Our friends at The Environmental Working Group (EWG) just released their extensive 2010 Sunscreen Guide that includes vital information such as sun safety tips, the EWG’s objective review and ranking of the best sunscreens and “Find Your Sunscreen”, a great online tool to help you evaluate the sunscreen in your beach bag right now. There are sunscreens that work and many that do not. Many of the EWG’s top-rated brands are those that you most likely will not recognize. Click here to view the report.
Monica and I presented a special Video HealthAlert in conjunction with the release of the EWG’s 2009 Sunscreen Guide. The information remains timely and vital as your family heads outdoors to enjoy the summer sun. Click here to watch.
