Lose it Where You Want To: With Lipomassage™
Australia's
leading beauty clinics are offering the latest European
spot fat treatment, Lipomassage™.
Lipomassage™ by Endermologie® is the new revolutionary
treatment attacking stubborn fat that is resistant to
diet and exercise. This non-invasive and scientifically
proven spot fat treatment specifically targets trapped
fat which is typically located in the thighs, hips,
stomach, knees and arms.
Launched in Sydney recently at a crowded Press Conference
in Sydney as part of an international phenomenon from
Paris, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai to Canada,
the treatment already has been booked out.
Gunnar Peterson, Hollywood's celebrity trainer to the
stars whose impressive A-List includes Angelina Jolie,
Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey, Penelope Cruze,
Gwen Stefani and Sylvester Stallone was the main attraction.
"Lipomassage™ is the perfect complement to the training
I have designed for my celebrity clients. Even with
the most specialised exercise, you cannot spot fat reduce.
Diet and exercise makes you lose weight, but not necessarily
where you want to lose inches; that's were Lipomassage™
comes into play," says the fitness expert.
Also present was Dr Blanchemaison, one of France's most
well regarded Phlebologists, "My studies have found
that fat cannot be burned in problem areas of the body
as it is resistant to the influence of adrenalin." Dr
Blanchemaison continues, "Study results show that over
time, fat cells become lazy and begin to store excess
fat. When subjected to Lipomassage™, these inactive
fat cells are stimulated to release fat more easily.
Once the fat has been released (lipolysis), it is then
dispersed naturally throughout the body's lymphatic
and vascular system."
Scott Clifton, Director of C8 explains, "We live in
an age of fast paced perfection and technological advancement,
therefore, it is vital to only present the best the
world has to offer. Lipomassage™ is renowned as the
industry leader in more that 100 countries for its unparalleled
efficacy. The secret lies in the patented technique
of Tissular Rolling and Tissular Lifting. The mechanisms
of Roll'In™, Roll'Up™ and Roll'Out™ each have very specific
objectives to slim, firm, resculpt and smooth."

Sleep:
The Elusive Dream of Every Insomniac: By Nirala Jacobi
ND ( USA)
If
you've ever suffered from insomnia, you can empathize
with the many sleep deprived people dragging themselves
into the office every morning. But it's one thing to
miss a couple of hours of sleep in an otherwise healthy
sleeping pattern and another thing altogether to get
a couple of hours of un-refreshing sleep night after
night…for years!
Did you know that
- the brain is more active at night while you sleep
- sleep is important for healing, physical repair, mental
and emotional health
- improving the quality and quantity of sleep can often
resolve even long standing health issues.
- insomnia is associated with an inability to lose weight,
stress, and type A personality.
- you can't detoxify properly when you're sleep deprived
Chronic insomnia is can mean sleeping between 4 and
six hours nightly -- truly a nightmare. Many people
tell me "oh, I only need 6 hours of sleep every night"
- that tells me they may have adapted to the few hours
of sleep they are getting, but their body is under constant
influence of stress hormones. High stress hormones are
known to be contributing factors in everything from
obesity, depression, and anxiety to chronic inflammation
and cardiovascular disease
Falling asleep
Falling asleep is under the control of a hormone called
melatonin, which rises in response to advancing darkness.
The production of your stress hormone called cortisol
is switched off and melatonin is produced instead. If
you have difficulty falling asleep you may have too
much cortisol and other stress hormones still circulating
resulting in a "busy mind" syndrome. This can perpetuate
the problem as you are lying there worrying about not
being able to sleep.
Staying asleep
You actually move through about 5 sleep stages in a
90 minute cycle which is repeated about 5 times a night.
Moving from shallow to deeper sleep allows for mental
relaxation, physical repair, emotional stability, as
well as charging up your batteries.
Frequent waking, or waking particularly at 2 or 3am
often means that your stress hormone cortisol is being
secreted at inappropriate times. This is often the result
of chronic stress and can lead to weight gain and an
inability to lose weight.
Tips for improving sleep
- no TV in the bedroom! Blue light from your TV can
interfere in the production of melatonin and therefore
your ability to fall asleep..
- avoid alcohol. Alcohol interferes with a hormone called
anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) which can result in frequent
waking to go to the toilet. Alcohol also interferes
with serotonin production by slowing the movement of
tryptophan into the brain. Trytophan is an amino acid
that serves as a building block for the well known anti-depressive
neuro-transmitter serotonin
- do not nap during the day - it's important to be consistent
with your sleeping routine
- take a hot bath (not shower) about an hour before
bed for relaxation. Taking into consideration water
restrictions of course.
- reduce electromagnetic fields by removing electrical
appliances such as your digital alarm clock and TV set.
Electromagnetic fields interfere with melatonin production.
- complete darkness in the bedroom. Heavy curtains can
help
- have a pad of paper and a pen next to your bed-write
down things you're trying to remember for the next day.
Mental to-do lists are worries that keep your mind busy.
- only go to bed when sleepy.
Diet:
Increase whole grain cereals and breads and other complex
carbohydrates to help maintain blood sugar levels during
the night and increase serotonin, a neurotransmitter
for initiating sleep.
Also increase foods high in tryptophan in the evening
. These include chicken, turkey, nuts, yogurt, bananas,
dates, figs, tuna, brown rice, and whole grain crackers)
Tryptophan is a building block for serotonin. Green
tea is also very beneficial for relaxation-it contains
L-theanine which can increase alpha waves of the brain
associated with relaxation.
Decrease/avoid caffeine at least 6-8 hours before bedtime,
alcohol, sugar (stimulating to the nervous system),
as well as tyramine containing foods close to bed time:
bacon, cheese, chocolate, eggplant, ham, potatoes, sauerkraut,
sugar, sausage, spinach, tomatoes, and wine
Tyramine is an amino acid that can increase noradrenalin/norepinephrine
release, which stimulates the brain
Supplements - best when prescribed by a health care
professional.
Here are just a few suggestions
- magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant. Great for
those who can't sleep due to physical discomfort or
body tension
- magnolia extract - helpful for those who suffer from
frequent waking. Magnolia is a Chinese herb that has
a mild sedative effect
- L-Theanine is found in green tea. Excellent to increase
relaxation
- amino acids like Tryptophan help with proper neuro-transmitter
production
- herbs such as passionflower, valerian, hops, and chamomile
have been used traditionally for insomnia. (c) 2008

How to Dry Body Brush : with Bodecare Wellness &
Spa products!
Dry body brushing has been used for years because the
health benefits are so extensive. It can improve venous
blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, release toxins,
exfoliate dead skin, reduce ingrown hairs and many other
health benefits. Many people use dry brushing successfully
to assist with the relief of arthritis, improve poor
circulation and remove bumpy skin from backs of leg
and buttocks. (see website under testimonials)
Bodecare Dry Body Brushing System has been developed
to aid the body's lymphatic drainage and for that reason
all brush strokes are toward the major lymph nodes in
the body (see diagram attached).
Before Dry Body Brushing please take note of the following
precautions:
1. Never Skin Brush over active inflammation or during
an active cancer state or over enlarged lymph nodes.
2. Do not brush on sunburnt skin.
3. Avoid breasts & genitalia area.
4. If pregnant seek doctors advise first before skin
brushing.
General Rules of Dry Skin Brushing
1. Always use a natural bristle skin brush, for optimum
results use a plant bristle.
2. Perform on Dry Skin only.
3. Generally stroke upward in one movement.
4. Light strokes repeated 7 times.
5. Adjust pressure to your comfort levels.
6. Best to follow brushing with some form of hydrotherapy
i.e. shower or bath
7. Don't brush more than you need to. Over doing it
does not mean better results.
8. Work from left to right side of body.
Steps of Dry Body Brushing
Feet
When brushing feet it is recommended to use a firmer
bristle, start on left side.
1. Start at soles of feet, stroking brush from toes
to heel, follow each brush stroke with a soothing sweep
of the other hand.
2. Continue on top of foot from toes to ankles and ending
at Achilles tendon behind ankle. Cover both sides of
foot.
Leg
When brushing legs, buttock, back, abdomen, hand and
arm it is recommended to use a body brush that meets
your comfort levels Soft-Medium-Firm bristle brush)
1. Continue upward brush strokes up the leg, moving
from ankle to calf and shin, up to hamstrings and quadriceps,
ensuring to cover entire leg, up toward the lymph groin
area (see diagram, arrows are pointing in the direction
of brush stroke)
Buttock and Back
1. Move to buttocks, starting at top of buttock, brush
down to the gluteal fold (where buttock joins the leg)
and sweep back again to top.
2. Then from base of buttock sweep upward to outside
of hip.
3. Once reaching the lower back, start your brush stroke
from spine and sweep brush stroke up and out to side
of torso, all the way up to the shoulder blades and
finishing from spine to over the shoulder. Repeat on
right side
Abdominal
1. Lower abdominal: Starting left side, hold brush at
navel and brush stroke downward and toward the lymph
groin area, and then from navel outward to hip joint
and side of torso. Repeat on right side.
2. Upper abdominal: Starting on left side, hold brush
at navel and brush stroke upward and outward from mid
to outer torso, under the breast line. Repeat this on
right side.
3. Complete abdominal area with the concentric circular
brush stroke. Starting at navel move in small circular
clockwise strokes, not leaving the skin, gradually increase
the circular strokes until reaching the outer abdomen.
Then work in anti-clockwise brush strokes from large
to small until back at the navel.
Hand and Arm
1. Brush from wrists to fingertips. Turn hand over and
brush from fingertips (and inbetween fingers) to wrist
and continue up the arm to the shoulder, working from
inner to mid and to outer arm. Finish brush strokes
over the armpit, with light strokes in small circular,
clockwise direction. For more steps on Décolletage,
Neck, Face and Scalp, please contact [email protected]
What to Expect
In completion to the dry body brush a slight reddening
of the skin (erythema) is normal, it is the blood circulation
responding to the skin brushing.
Hygiene is important with dry skin brushing, as so much
dead skin cells sloughs off and works it's way into
the brush bristles. To clean your dry skin brush, wash
in hot soapy water and leave in the sun to dry, with
bristles facing down.
"We hope you can make dry body brushing a part of your
daily routine and thank you for taking the time to contribute
to your health!"

The
I.C.H.P Weight Control Programme:
with Peter McMahon!
The I.C.H.P. Weight Control Programme was developed
by Dr. Joe Keaney, Director of The Institute of Clinical
Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. For more than twenty
years, thousands of people just like you have been gaining
permanent control of their weight through Dr. Keaney's
programme.
The
I.C.H.P. weight loss programme has a very high success
rate because it enables you to achieve personal change
at a deep level in your sub-conscious mind. It is the
part of your mind, which governs your motivations, perceptions
and beliefs. I have conducted weight control programmes
both privately and for groups. I do not prescribe a
diet for you to try to follow and then eventually break.
However you will enjoy noticing your eating habits improving;
and you will feel good about yourself more and more
as you lose a moderate amount of weight each week. Some
people enjoy or require the structure of a prescribed
diet. In which case I work in conjunction with your
dietitian.
When you attend the I.C.H.P. weight loss programme,
you will learn effective techniques to change your perception
of different foods and will not experience the battle
of will power and calorie counting which you may have
experienced as a dieter. Your self confidence will improve
as you achieve your goal of a thinner, healthier you.
You will learn self-hypnosis and gain motivation to
enjoy moderate exercise. I teach you to recognize and
change unwanted eating habits and to become aware of
and overcome any blocks or internal conflicts which
may be preventing you from achieving your goal. To maximize
your benefit from the programme, I provide you with
a hypnotic audiotape, which you may use at home to reinforce
the suggestions.
Most people achieve permanent weight control by attending
the group sessions. The programme is four sessions spread
over six weeks. Some people prefer private sessions.
Seize the opportunity now to change your life for the
better because you deserve to have the healthy body
you want.
Eating Disorders - Bulimia, Binge Eating, Anorexia,
Emotional Eating.
Quite often over-eating and under-eating are some kind
of safety behaviour for a deeper, perhaps unknown problem.
In which case simple suggestion therapy will not be
sufficient on its own. We need to find the root cause
of the problem and also to provide you with tools that
enable you to make the permanent changes you want. For
eating disorders I use a combination of suggestion therapy
and analytical hypno-psychotherapy to help you overcome
you problem. Please phone me to ask any further questions
and to reserve your place in the up-coming weight loss
programme.

Laughter
is the best medicine!
At
the end of their first date, a young man takes his favorite
girl home. Emboldened by the night, he decides to try
for that important first kiss. With an air of confidence,
he leans with his hand against the wall and, smiling,
he says to her, "Darling, how 'bout a goodnight kiss?"
Horrified, she replies, "Are you mad? My parents will
see us!" "Oh come on! Who's gonna see us at this hour?"
"No, please. Can you imagine if we get caught?" "Oh
come on, there's nobody around, they're all sleeping!"
"No way. It's just too risky!" "Oh please, please, I
like you so much!!" "No, no, and no. I like you too,
but I just can't!" "Oh yes you can. Please?" "NO, no.
I just can't." "Pleeeeease?..." Out of the blue, the
porch light goes on, and the girl's sister shows up
in her pajamas, hair disheveled. In a sleepy voice the
sister says: "Dad says to go ahead and give him a kiss.
Or I can do it. Or if need be, he'll come down himself
and do it. But for crying out loud tell him to take
his hand off the intercom button!"
