Optimal Health and Energy
Hello!
Alan Allard here…
You have my respect for taking action to learn how to improve your overall health. You can discover and learn how to do just that…change and improve your health… and enjoy the new levels of energy and vitality that will simply come your way.
You might want to know why I believe you are capable of changing and improving your health, regardless of the past. I am a former psychotherapist, now in private practice coaching others for rapid personal change, accelerated performance enhancement, and creating and nurturing outstanding levels of well-being. I am also the founder of GeniusDynamics, a Training and Coaching firm that specializes in accelerating the process of reaching levels of ‘unconscious competency,’ what many call ‘being in the zone.’ And, as I have worked one on one with clients for over twenty- two years now, I have identified seven keys that can and will improve your health and energy.
The seven keys that I share with you are not meant to be understood in a literal, ‘This is the most important key, and this is the second most important key,’ manner, or practiced in a linear fashion. Rather, these are dynamic principles, beliefs, values, behaviors, etc that work together simultaneously and synergistically.
With that said, here are the seven keys!
Begin With A Well-Formed Outcome
Simply put, your brain and your mind (conscious and unconscious) are ‘outcome focused,’ by nature. You will always be using your brain and your mind to be moving toward an end target, a goal, a desired outcome…so choose each one wisely.
Now, when you think of something, anything, such as your health, keep your mind on what you desire, and off of what you do not desire. And the key to keeping your mind off of what you do not desire is to…keep it on what you do desire! Period. See, hear and feel that which reflects what you desire. If you get off track, away from what you desire, to what you do not desire, simply bring your mind (your pictures, sounds and feelingsmore on this later) back to what you desire.
Some individuals might find it challenging at times to craft a well-formed outcome because of conflicting beliefs that need to be ‘cleaned up.’ More on that later.
Health And Energy Key # 2:
Create and Maintain A Useful State
You are always creating and entering into, and operating out of, a ’state…’ a mental, emotional, spiritual, physical state. You have no doubt heard someone say, ‘I am in a really good mood.’ Or, ‘She is in a really good frame of mind today!’ When I use the word ’state,’ I am describing what is going on with you on mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels…your total being.
Now, if you get anything out of this article, get this, and you will be ahead of the game: Never plan your future, or begin to solve a problem, or do anything, without first ensuring that you are in a useful, appropriate state for the outcome you are going for. Period.
Remember at time when you were in a conflict with someone you love, perhaps even with yourself! Did it help matters if you were in a less than useful state? By ‘less than useful state’ I mean, one that is composed of, say, impatience, irritability, cynicism, lack of empathy, ‘I want to be right,’ etc? What might have been the difference if instead, you had created and entered into a state that is composed of perhaps patience, caring about the best interest of the other person, curiosity, flexibility, creativity, genuine self-regard, etc?
Now, this article cannot fully coach you how to do that. You might want to have one individual coaching session to learn how to easily do what I am describing. You can also practice doing the following so you can enjoy learning how to create a useful state for yourself.: Imagine that your desired outcome is to persuade someone to your point of view on a matter. Now, remember a time when you communicated very effectively and got your outcome of someone being persuaded to your perspective. Imagine seeing a movie of that experience, and then ’step into’ the movie you are watching, and relive that experience for 30 seconds or more.
Now, step out of that movie, and remember a time when you were communicating with someone and you were very patient with that person, taking the time to really hear them out and to understand them on a superb level. Make a movie of that, and tep into that! Then step out of it and remember a time when you were communicating with someone or a group of people and you demonstrated great flexibility to the point of reaching your outcome! Whatever ‘obstacle’ came up, you were flexible in responding resourcefully to it. Now step into that movie…
You get the idea, right? This is one easy way to build a useful state for reaching any desired outcome.
Again, always make sure that you are in a useful state, one that is appropriate for easily and enjoyable reaching your desired outcome.
Invest Yourself In Healthy And Rewarding Relationships
The people that you surround yourself with, those you let into your space, will affect you on all levels. It is as simple as that. Choose wisely. Perhaps it is time for you to let go of some relationships and to begin some new relationships. You are not doing anyone a favor by allowing them to adversely affect you over a period of time. That is not love, it is something else.
Know what you want from your relationships. Learn how to communicate with those around you, especially your loved ones, in such a manner that you effectively enhance the quality of your relationships, for all concerned. Learn to master the states you are in! When it comes to powerfully effective communication, the state you are in will be paramount. In your communication, be clear and be effective. Communicating effectively with yourself and others is the greatest single skill you can learn and develop. Invest your time, money and energy in doing so an 1727 d you will be rewarded beyond what you are capable of currently imagining.
Health And Energy Key # 4:
Be Flexible
‘Flexibility is the key!’ The key to what? The key to achieving your outcome, the key to persuasive communication, the key to rewarding relationships. Flexibility is being able to do something different if what you are doing is not getting you the results you desire. Flexibility will get you to where you want to go with your health and energy. If what you have been doing has not gotten you the health and energy you want yet, do something else! You might be aware that there is no one ‘diet’ or exercise program that is useful for everybody. You can find and use what will work for you…for now. And you can be flexible and change what you are doing as you find what works even better for you, moment by moment.
Health And Energy Key # 5:
Place Your ‘Health And Energy’ As One Of Your Top ‘Life Values’
Tragically, ‘health and energy’ is rarely a top value with most people. And I say ‘tragically’ because of the fact that your values will drive your behaviors, and your behaviors will drive the results you create. So, it follows, that to engage in healthier behaviors, you will need to make sure that your health and energy is one of your top values. If you want to learn how to easily change your values, to actually choose which ones you want to drive your behaviors, you can do so in one coaching session. You will then have the ability and the tools to prioritize your values as you move through life. Remembering that your values will drive your behaviors. What is that worth?
Health And Energy Key #6:
Personal Congruency
‘Congruency’ is when your beliefs, values, behaviors, emotions and states are all lined up… and going in the same direction! You can easily understand how important this is. If for example, on one hand, you believe that you can greatly improve your health and energy, and on the other hand, you believe that doing so is not really possible, or that it would be quite difficult and unpleasant…well you can see the conflict, and you probably would feel the conflict as well. The stress that these two conflicting beliefs generate is unnecessary and can be eliminated with the appropriate tools and skill set.
Much energy is dissipated because of incongruent values and beliefs, not to mention incongruent behaviors! And when you learn how to ‘clean things up’ and develop more congruency, you will immediately enjoy the results in your health and energy. Doing so is worth your investment, whatever that might be for you.
Health And Energy Key #7:
Design Your Life With Wisdom
And what is wisdom? It is contemplating and understanding the consequences of your choices and behaviors, not just for the immediate future, but for the distant future as well!
Now, my experience as a psychotherapist and Life and Business Coach has taught me that consistent improvement is more reliable than the so called overnight successes that you hear about from time to time.
Your health and energy…your overall well being, are all worth your patience! Because it is far better to take small and incremental steps into increased vigor, health and energy, than to take on too much, too soon. Your body and mind will thank you for exercising wisdom. An effective personal trainer said in an interview that ‘Most people try to do too much, too soon, get discouraged and then throw in the towel.’
It can be different for you. Be flexible enough to find out what works for you, in what increments, and then move forward with patience. Your patience and persistence will take you to your desired outcome of greater health and energy. Period. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Enough said. And if it isn’t… remember that Rome was not built in a day. Or a month for that matter. And yet progress began with the first action taken, and continued with each step after that. Each step brings more of what was desired.

Characteristics of Optimal Health
Many people are unknowingly missing out on the benefits of optimal health. Find out what if you’re one of them and learn what optimal health is all about.
Eating for Optimal Health
Eating for Optimal Health. A friend has requested some posts on gluten-free diets but before I do that I need to step back and talk about optimal nutrition, of which being gluten-free is an important part.
Why Body Mass Index is Important
Knowing the BMI number is important because it tells whether or not a person is in a good range for optimal health. If the number is below a healthy range, a doctor might recommend that person gaining some weight.

Green Tea Fat Loss
After water, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world and there are good reasons for this popularity. One of the most popular forms of tea is green tea and there are a number of reasons why so many people enjoy this beverage.
First, green tea is flavorful and there are many varieties of green tea. The difference between teas is the amount of oxidation that the leaves are exposed to. Green tea is not oxidized meaning the enzymes in the tea leaf are not exposed to any oxygen found in the air. By contrast, black tea is fully oxidized and oolong tea is partially oxidized. When dealing with tea taste is a matter of degree and a function of oxidation.
Green tea comes in many forms and blends and is popular in every country and culture. Originally produced in China, the consumption and popularity of green tea spread throughout Asia, India and the western world. With the addition of flavors and blends like Jasmine, Vanilla, Mint and varieties like Jasmine pearls, Sencha and Gunpowder, green teas are subtle and appeal to the varied tastes of tea drinkers.
Green tea has a unique light taste that appeals to a very large number of drinkers throughout the world and has been popular since tea was first discovered over 5,000 years ago. It is one of the five basic types of tea and is recognized by even the most novice tea drinker.

Second, loose leaf green tea has been one of the mainstays of the tea culture. The highest quality tea is loose tea and premium quality loose tea has gained in popularity in recent years. Green tea drinkers enjoy preparation rituals and ceremonies that add ambiance to the tea drinking experience. Whole leaf green tea has served as the basis of tea rituals in China and Japan and, properly served, the tea ritual provides a pleasant experience after a stressful day.
When China was the sea power of the world (1405-1433), tea was among the indispensable supplies for the seamen. The amount of vitamin C in the tea drink consumed by the seafarers at that time was enough to prevent scurvy which would kill many European sailors more than 100 years later, but was essentially unknown to the medical officers assigned to the fleet of more than 27,000 men on their round voyage from China to Africa.
Lastly, there are strong indications that drinking green tea (and all types of tea for that matter) is very healthy for the human body. Throughout the years tea has been prized for its medicinal qualities and the consumption of tea became a regular event for most families.
Tea has been used in China as a medicinal beverage to promote health in mind and body for about 5000 years. The earliest known reference to tea as a health aid dates back to 2737 B.C. Tea was an expensive beverage in ancient China. Its use was confined to the wealthy segments of the population. Only in the Ming dynasty after the fall of the Mongolian empire in 1368 A.D., tea drinking spread from the elite to the populace. The first shipment of tea to Europe in 1606 by the Dutch East India Company was green tea
In 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.
University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
A recent Japanese study, reported by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that adults in Japan who drank more green tea had a lower risk of death from all causes and from heart disease.
In addition, compounds in green tea called polyphenols have been much studied for possible heart disease and cancer preventive effects. Although further study may be required to prove absolutely that green tea produces measurable health benefits, the consumption of green teas throughout history add credence to recent medical claims.
Tea drinkers have many choices but those that drink high quality loose leaf green tea can anticipate an enjoyable beverage and tea drinking experience.

Tea and it’s benefits for health and weight loss…
Although Britain is a nation of tea drinkers, we still have a lot to learn about tea. Drinking the right tea at the right time of day has been known to provide substantial health benefits.
You might not think of tea when it comes to trying to loose weight, but research has shown that certain types of teas do:
Pu-erh Tea (Yamamotoyama: Pu-erh, Chrysanthemum)
The brewed tea is dark red, and has a bold, earthy taste. Pu-erh is known to help digest fatty foods, increase metabolism and help to reduce your cholesterol levels. It is perfect to take this tea throughout the day especially after meals.
Slimming Tea (Yogitea: Slim & Fit)
When we are fit, our lives flow in an easy, flexible rhythm. This herbal tea has been formulated with herbs thought to support a well functioning metabolism. Pu-erh tea is used worldwide for its beneficial properties. Mate, prized in South America for its valuable nutrients and antioxidants, is a natural energiser. This formula is balanced with rosemary, rooibos and nettle, all of which are known to be rich in nutrients. Enjoy Women’s Slim & Fit Tea throughout the day while following your fasting or fitness program.
Detox Tea (Yogitea: Detox, Birt & Tang: Detox – Coming Soon)
This tea contains a combination of herbs and spices, which have been used for centuries in India to support the internal cleansing process and thereby eliminating excess fluids. Purify yourself each day by making Detox a regular part of your diet. Detox is also a great addition to a diet or a fast.
Stomach Ease Tea (Yogitea: Stomach Ease)
This tea is based on a recipe of herbs and spices believed to support the digestive process in breaking down fats and reduce feeling bloated after a meal. It contains fennel, liquorice and peppermint leaf known for their beneficial effect on digestion. Warming herbs such as cardamom, coriander, ginger and black pepper balances this delicious blend. Enjoy a cup during or after a meal.
All Green & White Teas (Tazo: Zen, Numi: Monkey King, Dragonfly: Swirling Mist White Tea, Stashtea: Ginger Peach, Pomegranate Raspberry, Decaf Raspberry White – and many more)
All green and white teas are known for their ‘thermogenic’ properties, whereby the body temperature raises to burn more calories. These teas have traditionally been used in Chinese medicine to refresh, detoxify and bring the immune system into balance.

Green Tea and Weight Loss
Green Tea Weight Loss – A Proven Formula?
For centuries, the ancient Chinese physicians have known about the secrets of green tea weight loss.
There are many health benefits to drinking green tea. One of them of them is that it can help lose weight. Lots of weight loss supplements include green tea extract. How does this beverage aid in slimming?
Green Tea Versus Black Tea
All tea is made from the same plant, camellias selensis. Different kinds of tea are made with varying combinations of leaves and buds from this plant.
Black tea is fermented after picking. Green tea is dried but not cooked, leaving it unfermented. Many of the antioxidants found remain in higher concentrations when unfermented.

Underlying Mechanism
Polyphenol catechins are antioxidant compounds found in green tea. These antioxidants by themselves provide great health benefits, as they clean up free radicals that can otherwise damage our cells. When catechins bind with caffeine, the result is increased fat burning and fat oxidation.
Human Trials Results
Many studies have been conducted to look into the veracity of green tea weight loss claims. Often research starts with animals. With green tea, however, we are lucky to have many human studies to look at.
Tang Center for Herbal Medical Research, at the University of Chicago, has done research on catechins. Their results indicate that in subjects who took green tea extract, levels of fat lipids, cholesterol and glucose were reduced.
Another study, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that subjects who drank a bottle of green tea fortified with extract lost more body fat over the course of three months than those who did not drink the tea.
Beverage Versus Supplements
There are several ways to get your green tea. Of course you can drink this marvelous beverage. A few cups of tea each day can provide not only health benefits, but also a calming break from a hectic day.
If you don’t manage to drink enough for ultimate weight loss effects, you can try a pure green tea extract. These generally come in the form of capsules or liquid. And there are many weight loss formulas out there that use green tea extract as one of the ingredients.
How Much Is Enough?
Various studies have used differing amounts of green tea. The combined wisdom of all of the human studies indicates that 3-4 cups of tea is the right amount to achieve green tea weight loss. Combined with a healthy eating and exercise program, you’ll find the results are stunning!
