absolutely priceless from a recent seminar in new york (found block quote on another forum).

If you've ever attended one of my classes or seminars, you know that I like to stop and review "10 things you just learned..." Well, heres 10 things you might have learned from day 1 one of the NYC BioSig class that we just wrapped up a few minutes ago...had you attended.
#1. Humpty dumpty is a walking heart attack. A humpty dumpty-type body means you have excess visceral fat--fat that is inside the trunk surrounding the organs. Elevated visceral fat means you have high levels of inflammation and are at greater risk for metabolic disease (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Visceral fat is metabolically active and releases a hormone called adipokines that slows metabolism and builds fat.
#2. Stay away from parabens. Parabens are the chemicals found in body care products such as shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. They are castration agents and will turn the male androgen hormones into estrogen. Parabens are also linked to breast cancer development in women. Go home, look in your shower, if your shampoo and conditioner have parabens in them, throw them out.
#3. There is no such thing as healthy tuna. All tuna has toxic levels of mercury. The French word for tuna is "la poubelle de la mer," which means "the garbage can of the sea."
#4. Spot reduction works because fat deposits are related to hormone makeup. The hormone receptor sites for different hormones are located on different spots of your body. This is a primary principle of Biosignature.
Managing the endocrine system is the key to optimal body composition. Being able to manipulate hormone secretion in the body is an essential advantage in programming.
#5. Top two dietary risk factors for prostate and breast cancer are fat-free dairy products and ingesting sodium benzoate, which is in diet soda. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) protects against cancer and is a natural part of the animal diet, meaning you can get CLA from animal products including meat and regular dairy products. Sodium benzoate is found in diet soda and other diet products and is cancer inducing.
#6. Everyone has a limiting factor in their hormonal system and diet. For most people this is carbs and insulin management. You need to deserve your carbs. Don't talk about weight, talk about body fat with overweight clients.
#7. If you have more chronic inflammation you need more EPA-rich fish oil, which will come from large, tropical water fish. If you have brain degeneration, such as Alzheimer's or early onset dementia, then you need more DHA-rich fish oil, such as small cold water fish. Alzheimer's is an inflammatory disorder, but to treat it you want to supplement with DHA to treat the neurodegeneration.
#8. A calorie-based weight loss system doesn't work because food produces different hormonal responses and because the thermic effect of food varies. It takes your body more energy and you burn more calories to digest protein such as steak than carbs such as pasta.
#9.The first thing you put in your mouth in the morning sets your neurotransmitters for the day. If you drink orange juice or other high-glycemic foods that cause a spike in insulin this will trigger serotonin, which will make you feel good, but it will also make you sluggish and tired. Protein and low-glycemic nuts are critical for priming the neurotransmitters for the day.
#10. Insulin is the only hormone you can control. The more insulin you have in the body, the quicker you age. The key to fat loss is insulin control and the good news, remember, is that insulin release is the only hormone you have complete control over. Have you ever accidentally eaten anything? Insulin secretion is a direct result of food consumption.
