Another Evenings at Dr. Z's on The Power of Metabolism was jammed packed this month! We had over 35 participants come brave the cold temperature on Thursday evening to learn more about metabolism and health.

The main point Dr. Zelner made was this... FOOD IS MEDICINE. Did you ever think of food as "medicine?" This is exactly the message Dr. Zelner wanted to bring home. Food rich with phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals is what our bodies, the mitochondria in our cells, need to function optimally. Whole foods, not processed foods in a box, can, or wrapped in foil or plastic. Our bodies thrive on whole foods that Nature gave us.

She also touched upon the topics of high phytonutrient foods, low glycemic index foods, organic, and no GMOs in food. It was amazing how much "junk" is out there and how we need to be aware consumers and READ the ingredients we find in our grocery stores.

She also surprised many with the fact that you cannot lose weight until your body is well! This means that if you have thyroid/ metabolic/ hormonal imbalances, your metabolism cannot function properly unless your body is back to health! WOW! It is a slow and gradual process, but it DOES work. Dr. Zelner shared with us that it took her TWO YEARS to fix her own metabolism/health and she humorously stated, " And I have my undivided attention and it still took me that long..."

It was definitely a lively discussion that evening and the Q & A lasted for another 45 minutes afterwards! We were so happy to be able to feed your minds with great information about metabolism and health.
