Dr. Darin Upchurch: Maximizing Health Through the Whole Person Approach
Q. Why do my diets never seem to work?
A. We live in a world that believes that diets are part of life and that losing weight is a means to get healthy. We really need to focus on the facts of why diets don’t work. Diets suppress the function of a healthy metabolism, which in turn interrupts proper organ function and interferes with how those organs metabolize and burn calories. When your metabolism or internal furnace is not working at its maximum potential, your body holds on to unhealthy stored fat and throws your internal critical factors into an unbalanced state. What does this mean? When your body does not have the ability to function in balance internally, you will start to outwardly notice weight gain, lack of energy, hormone imbalances, thyroid issues, depression, adrenal gland fatigue, increased food cravings, increased inflammation, sleep deprivation, heightened stress levels and mood swings. These conditions can lead to severe and sometimes fatal health challenges.
Q. How can I learn to live in balance?
A. Trying to find balance in today’s world is challenging and changing. The good news is that balance comes from within and the first step starts with YOU. How can we help? MaxLife provides an exclusive technology-based body balancing program that measures your internal imbalances. This technology is as specific as an individual fingerprint. It has the ability to measure out-of-range biomarkers that involve toxin levels, mineral imbalances, hormone imbalances, improper organ function, visceral fat and cellular hydration levels, just to name a few. We also test for Candida, the yeast in your gut that significantly reduces gut flora function and affects proper nutrition and digestion of food. It also contributes to 20 to 30 pounds of additional weight gain and goes undetected if not tested for properly. Lastly, the technology provides us with a comprehensive list of proteins, fruits and vegetables that your body has a biological preference for and to help your body reduce inflammation and detox on the cellular level, increase mineral levels and properly burn unhealthy fat. This information provides the key to eating healthy and living healthy. ■
