If it quacks it is quackery!

One of the more frustrating issues I deal with in teaching my classes is all the 'noise' that surrounds us.
We have so much information placed at our fingertips for improving our health, that we stop listening to our intuition first. Not all products should even be considered and definitely not added to improve our lifestyle. How do we know what 'noise' we should actually listen to?

1. Listen to your gut - simple things are the best thing to use.
2. Can you get the same benefit from something in the fresh or frozen vegetable/fruit aisle?
3. What is it that is actually being sold? Is it a promise that will cut time in half for losing weight? for looking awesome? Do you actually believe the sales tag or are you just hoping for results?
4. You know your body better than anyone else!
5. Check your cupboards in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Are they many products half used? If so use them first or get rid of them, the new product or program is just the same.
