Happy New Year and New YOU!

Dr. William J. Keller, Vice President of Health Sciences and Educational Services, recently presented a seminar to our TAC trip attendees about our newest weight-

loss formulas, MetaboMax Plus & MetaboMax Free. It was well-received, and we wanted to share it with a greater audience, along with other valuable information about some of our most popular weight-management supplements.

MetaboMax Plus & MetaboMax Free White fat (also called adipose tissue or fat) is simply stored energy. When you eat more than you burn, it is stored as white fat. Everyone has it. Some people have more than others. Excess white fat can lead to health problems. As fat builds up, it can lead to blood pressure issues, hardening of the arteries, insulin resistance and blood sugar concerns. All of these are precursors to type II diabetes. White fat can also contribute to inflammation. Therefore, it is logical to decrease extra white fat in the body. In designing our new weight-management formulas, NSP discovered a lot of powerful ingredient synergy that can assist in achieving meaningful weight loss when added to a suitable regimen oof diet and exercise.

What Is Thermogenesis? A lot of people define this as fat burning, which is a pretty apt description. But let’s take it a step further. Thermogenesis is the generation of heat in the mitochondria (the cell’s energy factory) due to an uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. What does this mean? When food is metabolized in your body, a lot of electrons are produced. As these electrons are processed in the mitochondria, the energy liberated is trapped to form ATP—the cell’s energy currency. Normally electron processing and ATP formation are coupled and the ATP produced provides needed cellular energy. When uncoupling occurs, very little ATP is formed. Most of the energy is released as heat. Free fatty acids from fat cells activate uncoupling and the thermogenic mechanism. Lipolysis, or the breakdown of fat, liberates free fatty acids (hence the name fat burning). The fat disappears and a lot of heat is produced.

2 Sunshine Horizons, January 2010

Working together for a Goal At least five ingredients in MetaboMax Plus combine to synergistically affect lipolysis, which gives the free fatty acids that spark thermogenesis. •Synephrine from bitter

orange stimulates the release of noradrenaline (or norepinephrine) that binds to receptors on fat cells, causing lipolysis.

• EGCG, the main catechin from green tea, enhances noradrenaline action because it inhibits an enzyme that normally breaks down noradrenaline.

•Naturalcaffeinefromguarana and yerba mate interferes with the breakdown of a key mediator in the lipolytic process.

•Theotheringredientsacttogether to cause lipolysis and weight loss.

From this we understand that the free fatty acids from lipolysis stimulate uncoupling. This uncoupling results in thermogenesis. So, fat breaks down, the fatty acids cause uncoupling, and foods are oxidized to give only heat, which is dissipated and not used by the body as an energy source. Remember, this process continues at a fairly fast rate as long as the ATP levels are low.

The remaining MetaboMax ingredients benefit weight loss by different mechanisms. • Capsaicin from red pepper decreases appetite through sensory stimulation, as

well as binding to the so-called vanilloid receptor. This receptor is important in body temperature regulation.

• Guggulsterones increase the conversion of T4 to the more potent thyroid hormone T3, which is known to stimulate thermogenesis.

• Chickweed interferes with fat absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

MetaboMax Free has the same weight-loss benefits as Metabomax Plus. But this formula is caffeine-free. For this reason, the thermogenic effect of Metabomax Free is slightly less.

A solid weight loss program should also include a sensible diet and a reasonable exercise program. And of course, determination is a key component.

Several NSP supplements can give you needed support in your weight-management efforts.

MetaboStart® Plus This program, featuring MetaboMax Plus and its thermogenic ingredients, combines several powerful NSP formulas into one comprehensive package to support weight-loss efforts from many angles. Take one AM packet before breakfast, one NOON packet before lunch and one PM packet before dinner. •TheAMpacketcontains1MetaboMaxPlus,17-Keto,3FatGrabbers,1Carbo

Fat Grabbers® A blend of chickweed, lecithin, psyllium hulls and guar gum, patented NSP Fat Grabberscanbeanimportantcomponentofanyweight-lossprogram.Lecithinemulsifies fat in water. The fat-binding properties of fiber from guar gum and psyllium hulls interfere with the absorption of emulsified fat from the small intestine, allowing bound fat molecules to be eliminated from the body. Drink plenty ofwaterwhenusingFatGrabbers.

Carbo Grabbers with Chromium This popular formula helps reduce the amount of dietary carbohydrates that are digested in the body for energy or storage. An enzyme inhibitor found in a specific type of bean prevents the digestion of some dietary carbohydrates in the small intestinewhenCarboGrabbersaretakenwithwater.Thismechanismmayallowaperson to eat some carbs without the body harvesting all of the calories from those carbs. Now with the addition of the trace mineral chromium, this formula may help the body’s efforts to promote metabolic activity and maintain blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Chromium also helps synthesize proteins.

Nutri-Burn® Protein Powder Our popular, protein-rich drink powder features two types of protein—whey and calcium caseinate—andprovides25gramsofitperserving!Wheyprovidesaminoacids(buildingblocks of protein) to help repair and strengthen muscle tissue that is broken down during exercise. Muscle burns more calories than fat does, so a leaner body has a higher metabolism than a fatter body of the same weight. Calcium caseinate also provides important protein along with the mineral calcium. Nutri-Burn contains a host of nutrients and added herbs for a complete, powerful formula. These include: •Garcinia cambogia slows the conversion of excess calories into fat for storage in the body.

It may also promote energy for endurance performance. •L-carnitineincreaseslong-chainfatty

acid oxidation. This means less fat is available for deposit in the body. It also promotes the burning of fat for energy production and enhances lean muscle deposition.

•Chromiumisessentialforcarbohydrateand lipid metabolism. It helps synthesize proteins and helps glucose get into the cell where it is used for energy.

•ConjugatedLinoleicAcid(CLA).Inanimals, CLA has been shown to decrease body fat mass and increase lean body mass. CLA may have some positive effect on glucose tolerance.

Tips for Weight-Loss SuccessThe following information is taken in part from the new Weight Loss Manual (Stock No. 5322-1) introduced at National Convention in August. Fitness expert and ab model Max Wettstein, a Nature’s Sunshine distributor, contributed greatly to the booklet.

Getting Started• Goal setting: Think big, but start small. Set reasonable goals. Be committed for the long

run.• Remind yourself that lasting weight loss requires a lifestyle change.• Be accountable. Find a partner, coach, trainer, sibling or friend, and report your results to him/

her regularly. This will help you stick to your plan and overcome temptations.

Dos• Choose nutrient-dense foods that provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and

relatively few calories, e.g. fresh vegetables and fruits.• Balance your diet with protein, complex carbohydrates (whole-grain breads, cereals and pastas)

and unsaturated fats. These tend to promote overall lean-body mass and a healthier, longer life.• Keep a food journal. Record what you eat, how much and when. You’ll start to see why you eat

and may even decide not to eat something because you don’t want to have to write it down. Try keeping an exercise log too.

• Limit/avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates. Get them out of the house so they cannot tempt you.

• Increase your fiber to 30–35 grams a day. (You may need to supplement to achieve this.)• Get plenty of sleep; 7–9 hours a night supports greater growth hormone production.• Move your body. Exercise is a critical component to weight loss. It increases lean-body mass

and helps improve overall health and longevity. It also helps with bowel regularity. Start slowly and gradually increase the amount and intensity of your exercise.

• Pay attention to food labels. Carefully consider calories, carb/protein/fat ratios, saturated fat and sweeteners.

• Use quality NSP supplements to support your efforts.

Don’ts• Don’t allow yourself to yo-yo diet. This increases the cravings for fat and

often weakens the immune system. Also, a history of loss and gain is associated with greater amounts of fat stored in the abdomen, a pattern of fat distribution linked to greater risk of heart disease and diabetes.

• Don’t skip breakfast. You need fuel in the morning for the day’s activities.• Don’t eat within two hours of bedtime.• Don’t drink soda. Drink fresh-squeezed fruit juice and lots of pure water.• Don’t check your weight daily. Weight fluctuates daily due to water

consumption, metabolism, etc. Weigh yourself twice a week.• Don’t try to lose more than 2 lbs. of weight/fat per week.

NSP offers Additional Weight Management SupportConsider These Supplements Part of Your Weight-loss Strategy by Courtney Hammond

Anybody who has tried to lose weight knows there is a lot more to healthy weight

management than simply dropping pounds. Lasting and healthful weight loss may need to include consideration of everything from metabolism to lean body mass percentages to stress levels. But don’t get overwhelmed, NSP has a full line of complementary natural products to support every aspect of your weight-management goals.

CLA ConjugatedLinoleicAcid,orCLA,isamixtureofimportantfatty acids with health and weight benefits. CLA can help modify body composition by sustaining lean muscle tissue and enhancing lipolysis.

Cellu-Smooth® with Coleus No matter your size or shape, chances are you have some unsightly fat deposits, and you want to get rid of them. As we age, the skin and fat tissues age as well, leading to trapped fluid and fat and resulting skin puckering and stretch marks. Cellu-Smooth with Coleus provides nutrients that may support circulation, help mobilize fat for better distribution, and protect against free radical damage to structural skin proteins. One ingredient in this formula, Coleus forskohlii root extract, may cause a shift from a more fatty body mass to a more lean body mass. Cellu-Smooth with Coleus also contains bladderwrack, milk thistle, ginkgo, rhodiola root extract and rhododendron root.

Collatrim Plus Powder and Collatrim Collatrim Plus powder and Collatrim capsules provide nutrients that help increase lean muscle mass, which can lead to increased fat burning. These formulas contain collagen, which can be broken down into amino acids used to build lean muscle mass.

Nature’s Sunshine recently received word from Field Media, LLC., publisher of CDHC Solutions, that the company has been recognized for having the Most Effective Integrated Care: Wellness/Disease Management. Douglas Field, CEO and Publisher of the magazine, said, “We feel your contribution to your company, as well as the health care industry as a whole, are positively affecting employees’ lives while helping to save money.” Emily Coburn from Meritain Health wrote an article that was published at www.meritainhealth.com, detailing NSP’s Managed Metrics program. This optional employee program includes an annual blood test and profile. It has led to significant improvements in employees’ cardiovascular health and other measurable factors over the past three years. Christine Frazier, Manager of Insurance Benefits and Wellness for NSP, shared highlights of NSP’s Managed Metrics program. In 2006: •24%ofemployeeswereatriskforaheartattackin

thenext10years. •Nearly60%hadconditionsthatmeritedaphysician’s

The company added other incentives, including Weight Watchers at Work, discounted gym memberships, and paid time off or free products for employees who logged their exercise and healthy food habits online. “With the right program and combination of incentives, we found a way to improve the health of our employees and control our health care costs over the past three years,” said Frazier. In2007,employeeswhohadbeenatrisksaw: •a64%improvementintotalcholesterol •nearlya70%improvementinglucoselevels •a74%improvementinLDL In 2008, NSP saw continued improvement in those with higher cholesterol levels. Over the past two years, Nature’s Sunshine has seen no increase in its out-of-pocket insurance costs. Also in December 2009, NSP was recognized by Interactive Health Solutions as one of the Healthiest Companies in America. This is our second year receiving this award.

EmployeesLosingFatandGainingFitness Nature’s Sunshine recently forged a business relationship with a local company, Total Health & Fitness (THF), to help interested employees lose weight, increase muscle mass and increase overall fitness. Employees attend monthly meetings onsite for nutrition information as well as motivational support. They also weigh in and provide requested measurements weekly via email. In return, THF fitness experts provide detailed menus, exercise goals and weight-training plans, and they give weekly feedback. Here’s what a few participants say after six or more weeks on the program:

Weight Watchers at Work NSP formed a Weight Watchers at Work group in January 2007 to provide access and motivation to interested employees. Since then, 70 employees have participated. This is just one more way NSP supports healthy lifestyles.

“I’ve lost 12 pounds so far eating smaller meals more frequently. I use Nutri-Burn® powder as part of my breakfast and in the evening if I’m hungry. I also take MetaboMax Free with one meal a day and use Carbo Grabbers® occasionally (in addition to other supplements). “I try to walk every day with my co-workers. Those 2.5 miles at a brisk pace help keep my metabolism up. My pants are a bit looser and I feel like I have more energy.”

—Mike Nauta

“I love that my clothes are too big; my kids comment that I am getting skinny, and I no longer look pregnant. I feel better.”

—Kathleen Beardall

“I haven’t felt this fit since high school. For the first time in years, I can really enjoy some of my favorite outdoor activities like cycling, hiking and mountain biking. Now I focus more on the fun and less on the pain! Additionally my weight is down, my clothes are comfortable and my energy level is up.”

—Jim Riddle “I had developed some bad habits and was frustrated about my weight. Now I am exercising more, lifting weights at home, eating more protein and cutting way back on snacks. In addition to my regular supplements, I use chocolate Nutri-Burn after every run. It’s really good! I also used Dieter’s Cleanse. I’ve lost 8 pounds so far in eight weeks, my clothes fit me again and I’m happier.”

—Darlyn Britt

“I noticed a difference in my energy levels when I added Super Antioxidant and Target Endurance to my daily regimen.”

—Jack Mason

“THF helped me find my metabolism again. I’ve been working with them for 12 weeks and have dropped more than 16 pounds and lost 12.5% of my body fat. I’ve also gained lean muscle. THF taught me how to fuel my body properly, including what to do differently when exercising. “I’m using Super Supplemental Vitamins and Minerals, CLA, Super Omega-3 EPA® and Super Antioxidant along with Thai-Go®, and EverFlex® (which I love for post-exercise). “With their help, I hiked 18 miles up the back of a mountain and down again! It was AWESOME!”

—Diane Bradford

Beyond Numbers on a ScaleTackling the Emotional Aspects of Weight Loss

Weight loss is about much more than dropping pounds. Just

ask anyone who has successfully lost weight, only to find himself or herself fighting those same pounds a few months or years later. Clearly the nuts and bolts of weight loss—eating habits and exercise—require a physical commitment. But lasting, successful weight loss involves a powerful emotional component as well. Developing a healthy attitude toward our bodies, our weight and food can be quite challenging intoday’ssociety.Ononehand,food is a major element of just about every social gathering and occasion. We celebrate with food, fight stress with food, we even mournwithfood.Ontheotherhand,the media constantly presents us with impossible body ideals that are unrealistic and even unhealthy for the vast majority of us. Air brushing,PhotoShop® and other tricks of the trade allow models and celebrities to appear thinner than they are in real life, giving us the perception that we too can and should strive for that appearance. EvenBarbie®, the famous doll, is way out of proportion. Wheredoesthisleaveus?Forsome it can be an emotional dependence on the wrong kinds of food.Forothers,anegativeimageof our bodies and false hope in getting thin without too much effort. Moreimportantly,nowthatyou’vemade the physical commitment to find a healthier you, how do you make the emotional commitment? A good place to start is by finding your motivation. Are you losing weighttolookbetter?Tofitintoa swimsuit before an upcoming

cruiseorreunion?Toprovideahealthy example to your children? TocombatType2diabetes?Tosave money on your medical bills? Thestronger,moremeaningfuland realistic your motivation, the morelikelyyou’llsucceedwithyourprogram.Forthatreason,those who are motivated by health tend to make lasting changes more often than those who are motivated by magazines or social events. Weight-loss experts encourage accepting yourself, loving who you are right now, and then finding the motivation to set goals to allow yourself to be the best you can be. Ifyouareoneofthemillionswith“loseweight”onyourNewYear’sresolutions list this year, resolve something new: resolve to love yourself no matter what, and then plan the lifestyle changes toward a healthier body.

When beginning a weight-loss journey, be prepared to think long-term. Many weight-loss centers ban the use of the word “diet” because it tends to be associated with short-term and drastic eating plans. Rather than focusing on a “diet,” commit yourself to learning about what changes are neces-sary to fuel and nourish your body with healthful foods. It’s amazing what a simple change in mindset can do. The exact same nutrition program can be viewed by one person as a diet and another as a lifestyle change. Can you guess who will see greater success?

It has been a rewarding 10 years! “We are especially thankful to Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes, Scott Terry and the rest of NSP’s staff for all of the support, educational tools and outstanding seminars and conventions.

“We were introduced to Nature’s Sunshine products four years ago by someone we met on vacation. She referred us to a health practitioner in our local area who made recommendations, and we had great results. “We started Herbs4us last year to help others achieve the same benefits. We have been extremely impressed with the quality of Nature’s Sunshine.”

“I love herbs, I love Nature’s Sunshine, and I just wanted to share them. I am committed to doing classes and educating people.”

“I am living my passion of helping people resolve their health concerns using potent, quality supplements. I am also increasing their wealth by mentoring them using the most generous marketing, benefits and rewards plan out there. “Don’t be afraid to dream big; believe in yourself and don’t be afraid of setbacks. Set your short- and long-term goals. Stay focused and persevere. Enjoy the ride and the amazing people you meet along the way. It’s getting more fun as we get closer to the top!”
