Meet Our Medical Partner Dr. Ray Strand We are honoured to have Dr. Ray Strand, one of the world's leading authorities on nutritional medicine, as Live Well Consultings's medical partner. A graduate of the University of Colorado Medical School and family practice physician for over 30 years, Dr. Strand is also the author of several books, including What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine, Death by Prescription and Healthy for Life. With hundreds of diets on the market, hunger suppressant pills, and harsh cleanses, many people find that staying healthy losing weight is not an easy task. "The reason diets don't work is because they are a short-term solution for a long-term problem," Dr. Strand says. "When a patient of mine comes in and says, 'Dr. Strand, I'm going to go on such and such a diet,' the connotation is that sooner or later they're going to come off that diet. Medical literature supports the fact that over 98% of the time these diets fail." Dr. Strand was inspired to develop his Healthy for Life program after watching his own patients' frustration and failure with these extreme diets, Dr. Strand also noticed that most of his patients were gaining weight - especially around the middle - as they got older, even when they thought they were eating right. They were also steadily increasing their risk for diabetes and other degenerative diseases with each passing year. He knew the secret to healthy bodies and healthy weight loss was to control blood sugar without depriving his patients of any of the major food groups. All of the LiveWell Consulting nutrition programs are have been developed by Dr. Strand. RESET, The Healthy For Life Program and our Competitive Athlete program combine healthy, low-glycemic diet and cellular nutrition with a moderate exercise program. The healthy diet is composed of regular, natural foods that don't spike your blood sugar as well as high-quality, pharmaceutical grade supplements, meal-replacement shakes and snack bars. The meal replacements and snacks used with all our nutrition programs utilize the glycemic index, which is how our bodies take in carbohydrates and how fast we absorb them. These certified low glycemic meals and snacks contain good carbohydrates, good fats, and good proteins that are delicious and allow a person to get out of glycemic stress, curb their carbohydrate cravings, and control their natural appetite," Dr. Strand says. "People learn to eat in such a way that they take in all these good, balanced nutrients at every meal. It's not only a healthy diet, but it helps us get out of this vicious cycle of spiking our blood sugar and dropping into what we call the low blood-sugar range, which sets off our stress hormones and leads to overeating." By following the LiveWell Consulting nutrition and exercise programs. you will learn to create a healthy lifestyle that has a side benefit of fat loss. What our clients say is 'I feel better,' 'I have more energy,' 'I stay focused,' 'I'm not as hungry,' and 'I can't believe I'm satisfied with less food." They just start to do better! The LiveWell Consulting program is not just a weight loss or short term competitive athletes eating and exercise program - it's how we should all be eating and moving every day - whether we want to lose weight, increase our immune system, have more energy, increase fitness levels, or simply have the best health! LiveWell Consulting is proud to work with Dr. Strand. We also highly recommend all of Dr. Strand's books, especially "What your doctor does not know about Nutritional Medicine","Healthy for Life" and his 12 Week - 15 month Online Support Program as these resources have contributed immensely to the success of our clients. |
