If you’ve seen the name Trilivy pop up on social media recently, don’t worry – you haven’t missed anything new. Trilivy is just a rebrand of the Optavia program, which I reviewed here. Before Optavia, the company was Medifast. Both brands focused on one thing: rapid, significant weight loss through a dramatic, unsustainable (for the majority of people) calorie deficit. I have had a number of former Optavia users come to me for weight loss and I can say with certainty that the negative effects of this program – physically and emotionally – touched each and every one of them.…
No one warns you about this part. You get the qualifications, you’re good at coaching, your clients get results and then you realize that the real work is only half the training. The other half has a small business, and that’s where you probably skipped your course. Be comfortable with the business side of personal training it’s what really determines whether you’re still coaching in three years, or if you’re burned out and back at an office job wondering what happened. Here’s what tends to get new coaches wrong and what you should do for each. Price yourself right…
Lanthanide carriers could help define the next generation of biomedical imaging and fast-track the emerging field of theranostics—approaches that link diagnostic imaging to treatment selection, delivery, or monitoring. That’s according to a new review published in Frontiers in Science, which maps recent progress and materials innovation in optics, X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The authors highlight the potential of lanthanide to drive future leaps in healthcare and biomedical research, including the combination of lanthanide probes with smart delivery systems, artificial intelligence, and multisource data integration to make biomedical imaging and diagnostic tools more accurate, adaptable, and clinically useful. The…

No one feels their bones getting weaker. That’s the problem. Osteoporosis is often called the silent disease because bone loss occurs gradually, with zero symptoms, until a fracture or a bad fall sets it off. And ladies, it starts earlier than you think: bone density usually starts to decline in our 30s, and women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the five to seven years around menopause as estrogen drops. I just released a brand new Bone Building Strength workout on Get Healthy U TVand our members love it. So today I want to give you…
Pharmaceutical drugs are often based on chemical compounds found in the body. Take phosphate, a common compound that cells use as a chemical switch. In a process called phosphorylation, cells can add a phosphate to a molecule and activate its function. When the function is no longer needed, cells can remove the phosphate through dephosphorylation, inactivating the molecule. While this phosphate switch is essential for cells, it presents an important issue for drug design. Many drugs, especially those based on biological compounds, have phosphates in their chemical structure. Cells can dephosphorylate these drugs as the body processes them, greatly…
If I stopped you on the street today and offered you a million dollars to improve your health or fitness, you would immediately think of diet and exercise. Of course you would be right — but only to a point. These two factors are fundamental to health, fitness, vitality and longevity. However, if you only focused on diet and exercise, you wouldn’t be reaching your full potential. Not by a long shot. As important as food and exercise are, they are only two of the inputs that affect gene expression. There’s a bigger picture to consider, another pillar included in…
If you’ve been training hard and still struggling to shift stubborn body fat, it’s time to consider the hormonal science that supports the fasting + fitness approach to fat loss. For years, the standard fitness advice for active women was simple: eat small meals every 3 to 4 hours to “keep the metabolic fire burning.” But a new strategy has emerged: Time-restricted feeding (TRE). If you’re already working out, the latest clinical data reveals that the combination of the two is the ultimate fat loss cheat code.
