Women over age 35 often struggle to lose weight despite their best efforts with dieting and exercise. For Dawn Cutillo, the founder of BeBalanced and a national hormone balancing specialist, the matter hit close to home. I saw all these women exercising and dieting, but still werent able to lose weight. I had hormonal problems myself in my 30s, Cutillo says.

Her business, BeBalanced Hormone Weight Loss Centers, was born of the desire to address womens weight-loss issues using natural remedies. Connections between hormones and weight were something people werent exploring, Cutillo says. So in 2006 Cutillo and her brother David created BeBalanced; they started the franchise in 2013. Both Dawn and David had experience in the corporate world; Dawn has a background in nutrition and exercise physiology, and David has a marketing and sales background.

Lane Peterson, the owner of the recently opened BeBalanced location in Minnetonka, joined the team earlier this year. She also had a career as an advertising executive before deciding to make a change in her professional life. Now, for the first time, I am a making a difference in peoples lives, Peterson says.

Our process is so quick, we get 15 pounds of weight loss in a month, Dawn Cutillo says. Clients go through a two-month process, starting with one month of dieting, relaxation and stress-management therapy and natural hormonal supplements, followed by a maintenance month with more natural supplements and food sensitivity testing.

BeBalanced targets women from ages 35 to 65, hoping to educate and provide the tools for them to get back into hormonal balance, decrease hot flashes, improve sleep and lose weight. Peterson and her team hope to provide long-term, not just immediate, solutions. You can lose weight after 35, says Cutillo.

"Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke.Jordan Strauss/AP

Emilia Clarke may be fighting for power on "Game of Thrones" as Daenerys Targaryen, but she embraces her trainer and cookbook author James Duigan's approach to health and fitness.

Duigan, the author of "Clean and Lean for Life: The Cookbook," has been giving interviews recently that reveal how the mother of dragons stays in such great shape, as first spotted by The Daily Mail. Here's the approach he takes to keep her fit and make Emilia's kitchen "very happy."

In an interview with Whimm, Duigan advocates for sustainable and realistic healthy eating practices. "The only thing that works is balance," he said. "The minute you begin to weigh your food, count your kilojoules, or beat yourself up for going out for dinner, it's over."

He suggests not fighting your cravings and "making it a battle." Instead, he recommended ditching the diet mentality and focusing on what works for you and your body, a principle he highlights in his book.

Clarke credits it in an Instagram post: "Allow me to introduce the key to my very happy kitchen. This book. And this dude [that] wrote it."

Celebrities like Clarke are always traveling and have packed schedules. This isn't an excuse to not workout it's an opportunity to get creative. "This means that we need to tailor the training to be super-efficient as well as achievable anywhere in the world," Duigan said.

He recommends easy to pack gear like resistance bands when traveling. He's also a fan of lifting weights but notes that they aren't often available. That's when body weight movements requiring no equipment, like planks and push ups, come into play.

Duigan spoke with Healthista about how his workouts are designed to help the body feel good, not push people to injury like some other workout programs. "The pay off of exercise is to energize you and make you feel good, you don't want to be dragging yourself out of a class with a sore knee," he said.

"Let's just say for argument's sake someone wants to lose weight, the best way of doing that is focusing on your health and looking after your body, not punishing and working against it because your body will slow down and hold on."

Cooling down after a workout helps your body recover from your sweat session and allows your muscles to repair. This is often forgotten or pushed aside after finally completing your workout, but you shouldn't be so quick to do so.

"One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to not warm-down after a workout," Duigan said. "A cool down will help to gradually push the lactic acid out of the muscles, whilst allowing the blood to circulate throughout your body and carry important nutrients and oxygen to your muscles and cells and assisting in the growth and repair of muscles."

This tip speaks to Duigan's overall approach to health. Focusing on treating your body with kindness and compassion is refreshing compared to the hard core workouts and strict plans that have been popularized over the years. While this plan might be out of character for Daenerys, Clarke herself seems to be loving it.

KOKOMO On Nov. 5, 2017, Denise Bradley will be joining around 47,000 other runners for the famous New York City Marathon.

Denise Bradley makes her way through the course at Runnin' the Shores on Saturday, August 26, 2017. Kelly Lafferty Gerber | Kokomo Tribune

Many participants run to raise money, or in honor of a cause they believe in. Bradley is no different. An occupational therapist for St. Vincent Kokomo, Bradley is attempting to raise money for Parkinsons disease research as she prepares for the marathon.

Bradley has been involved with the Howard County Parkinsons Support group in Howard County since March 2016 as a liaison for St. Vincent. During her time in the group, shes learned more about the disease, which affects around 400 people in Howard and surrounding counties. It also gave her the desire to do more to raise awareness of, and maybe someday provide a cure for the chronic disorder.

I have learned so much from them, they are so open, said Bradley of the between 30 to 60 people who consistently attend the monthly support group.

They want to help each other, and anyone who comes in, they want everybody to be more empowered, and I thought, gosh, how can I give back?

As St. Vincents liaison for the group, Bradley helps organize speakers for the group who provide an array of knowledge spanning multiple aspects of life with Parkinsons disease. Hopefully, those speakers provide valuable insight for the groups members, and certainly, theyve given Bradley a wider understanding of the disease. Its helped her when working with her patients, she said; allowing her to make new recommendations based on her widening knowledge.

Its amazing the resources they have tapped into. I mean, I have learned so much through the support group in a year, she said.

One of the local, valuable resources she mentioned, beyond various types of therapy, was Rock Steady Boxing, an exercise program through the downtown YMCA, and added that her husband is a certified trainer.

Her involvement in the support group was initially spurred on by a good friend being diagnosed with Parkinsons.

And it was a huge lifestyle change for that family, so that kind of hit home to begin with, and I thought, gosh, if theres a way that I could get involved and see if I can help him with different resources, she said.

As she was looking ahead to the New York Marathon, Bradley learned you can run for a specific foundation, charity or cause. So, after being inspired by the support group, she decided to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research. While the funds, she said, might not be funneled back directly to the community, she said she hopes the efforts of the Foundation will help younger and future generations diagnosed with the disease.

Her goal is to raise at least $3,200, an amount she landed on based on a multi-tier system of fundraising made possible through the marathon.

The support groups facilitator, Susan Szep, said in an email she was stunned when Bradley told her about her decision to raise money and awareness through her marathon run.

My response was I didnt know you were a runner. Denise said she wanted to make more people in the Kokomo area aware of the programs people with Parkinsons disease and to raise funds for a cure, said Szep in the email.

As it turns out, Bradley has been running marathons for just under ten years. Shes run in the iconic Boston Marathon twice, and has a loose goal of running one in each state. So far, she estimated shes done so in around 14 states.

Training involves running in the early morning starting around 5 a.m. with her weekly mileage falling between 25 and 50 miles.

Denise is an amazing person, said Szep in an email. She personifies the quote still waters run deep. Denise is compassionate, unassuming, knowledgeable and a great person to have on your team.

Szep hopes that Bradleys actions help locals to be more aware of how Parkinsons affects the local community and encourages donations to organizations like the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Aug. 28, 2017 As we grow older we suffer a decline in mental and physical fitness, which can be made worse by conditions like Alzheimers disease. A new study,published in the open-access journalFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, shows that older people who routinely partake in physical exercise can reverse the signs of aging in the brain, and dancing has the most profound effect.

Exercise has the beneficial effect of slowing down or even counteracting age-related decline in mental and physical capacity, saysDr Kathrin Rehfeld, lead author of the study, based at the German center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Magdeburg, Germany. In this study, we show that two different types of physical exercise (dancing and endurance training) both increase the area of the brain that declines with age. In comparison, it was only dancing that lead to noticeable behavioral changes in terms of improved balance.

Elderly volunteers, with an average age of 68, were recruited to the study and assigned either an eighteen-month weekly course of learning dance routines, or endurance and flexibility training. Both groups showed an increase in the hippocampus region of the brain. This is important because this area can be prone to age-related decline and is affected by diseases like Alzheimers. It also plays a key role in memory and learning, as well as keeping ones balance.

While previous research has shown that physical exercise can combat age-related brain decline, it is not known if one type of exercise can be better than another. To assess this, the exercise routines given to the volunteers differed. The traditional fitness training program conducted mainly repetitive exercises, such as cycling or Nordic walking, but the dance group were challenged with something new each week.

Dr Rehfeld explains, We tried to provide our seniors in the dance group with constantly changing dance routines of different genres (Jazz, Square, Latin-American and Line Dance). Steps, arm-patterns, formations, speed and rhythms were changed every second week to keep them in a constant learning process. The most challenging aspect for them was to recall the routines under the pressure of time and without any cues from the instructor.

These extra challenges are thought to account for the noticeable difference in balance displayed by those participants in dancing group. Dr Rehfeld and her colleagues are building on this research to trial new fitness programs that have the potential of maximizing anti-aging effects on the brain.

Right now, we are evaluating a new system called Jymmin (jamming and gymnastic). This is a sensor-based system which generates sounds (melodies, rhythm) based on physical activity. We know that dementia patients react strongly when listening to music. We want to combine the promising aspects of physical activity and active music making in a feasibility study with dementia patients.

Dr Rehfeld concludes with advice that could get us up out of our seats and dancing to our favorite beat.

I believe that everybody would like to live an independent and healthy life, for as long as possible. Physical activity is one of the lifestyle factors that can contribute to this, counteracting several risk factors and slowing down age-related decline. I think dancing is a powerful tool to set new challenges for body and mind, especially in older age.

This study falls into a broader collection of research investigating thecognitive and neural effects of physical and cognitive activity across the lifespan.

Have you reached your happy weight? Many will say that the faster your metabolism is, the faster you will lose weight because your body will convert all your food into energy. They are only partially right.

In a nutshell, metabolism is the various chemical reactions in your body which converts the food you eat into the energy your body needs. Whether you have fast or slow metabolism, your body WILL burn the calories from your food.

However, when your body receives more calories than what is required for your energy level, metabolism wont touch these calories. These extra unburned calories will get stored as body fat. Your happy weight does not entirely depend on the speed of your metabolism.

Here are some things you can do to get your happy weight.

1. Eat everything in the right portions

Fad diets like Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers and Mediterranean promise quick weight loss by encouraging you to focus on eating specific types of food. Research shows that fad diets do not actually do much to help you keep your happy weight.

They might also make you vulnerable to diseases because your body will lack certain nutrients that your body needs.

Medical experts say that you should get the right amount of proteins, carbohydrates and fats to satisfy the nutrients your body needs.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest 45-65% of calories from carbs, 20-35% of calories from fat, and 10-35% of calories from protein. Depending on the weight change you want, stick to the lower or higher end of the range.

Try taking walks. Make these a regular habit and try some challenging routes at times. Walking can encourage metabolism and weight loss.

Research found that people who took up walking as a regular activity can burn around 186 to 371 calories, depending on the speed.

Scientists have found that lack of sleep and sleeping problems are directly connected to how efficient your metabolism is in converting energy for your body.

When you dont get enough sleep, your body does not produce enough of the substances that regulate metabolic function. When this happens, your body doesnt get the energy to function properly.

Many people often focus more on what they eat when they think of losing weight. What you drink also affects your metabolism. Studies show that drinking about 500 ml of water before breakfast, lunch, and dinner can result to decrease in body weight.

Water has zero calories so your metabolism would turn to stored body fat to satisfy your bodys calorie requirement.

Strength and resistance training is another way to reach your happy weight. These exercises help you build muscles.

Did you know that each pound of muscle needs 30 to 50 calories daily to function properly? The more muscles you build, the more calories you burn.

Some people have turned to tasty vegan dishes on their quest to weight control. Researchers at Oxford University have found that vegans are much leaner than meat-eaters.

However, it still is necessary to take not of what you eat and when you eat to keep your ideal weight after going vegan.

Aerobic activities are any activity that makes you use your muscles groups and increases your heart rate and breathing.

The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderately intense exercises weekly, with each session lasting for a minimum of 10 minutes

Studies show that eating spicy dishes can temporarily increase your metabolism by around 8% over your normal rate. Spicy foods can also give you a feeling of being full which makes you eat less food. Moreover, nutrition experts found that spicy food can promote abdominal fat loss.

A good cup of coffee can extend energy levels when you exercise, thus you burn more calories. Drinking coffee after exercise can also increase the glycogen in your muscles and help you replenish stored energy.

Others may say that yoga does little for your metabolism because yoga is meant to help you meditate and relax. Remember that metabolic processes in your body continue to work even while you are at rest.

Certain yoga poses like the locust, twisted chair, eagle, and bow poses that boost your energy will consequently boost your metabolism.

11. Stand up whenever you can

Did you know that a 150-pound person can burn 114 calories per hour while standing? Medical experts have discovered that the more time you sit, the fewer calories you tend to burn.

On the other hand, the muscles in your back and legs expend energy when you stand.

When you are in a hurry, everything in your body is working overtime so that you can move at a faster speed. As a result, your metabolism also works overdrive to fuel your body.

If you are not a fan of coffee, you can try drinking green tea. A study found that green tea and at least three hours of moderate exercise weekly can reduce abdominal fat over three months.

14. Eat yogurt and seafood

Yogurt and other fermented foods have probiotics which promote weight loss. A British study showed that taking a probiotic pill daily can lead to weight loss after 12 weeks.

Your metabolism also gets a boost from omega-3 fatty acids from fish. The oil decreases the levels of fat-storage enzymes in your body.

Probably the easiest and most surprising way to boost your metabolism is laughter. Researchers discovered that genuine laughter can use up 10% to 20% more energy.

This means that you burn an increased 10 to 40 calories during 10 to 15 minutes of laughing.

Being active, eating the right food, and getting enough sleep are just some things you can do to keep your metabolism going.

Ultimately, reaching and keeping your happy weight depends on how much you and your metabolism work together.

GET rid of belly fat fast with these two exercises.

GETTY

With summer coming to an end, this could make a lot of people indulge in foods they didnt dare to over the warmer, bikini-weather months.

But if you are looking to lose some stubborn belly fat, it turns out there are only two exercises you need to do to make it melt away.

The two exercises are: Kettlebell swings and squat thrusts.

If you are looking to lose that belly fat, try these simple easy to follow tips that will help you on the road

1 / 10

Eat every three hours - Passing on breakfast will send your body into starvation mode, meaning your body starts to store everything youve eaten as fat, and youre midsection is the first to suffer the consequences

The way it works is you do 15 repetitions of the kettle bell (or dumbell) swing followed immediately by 15 reps of the squat thrust.

Without resting, you then do 14 reps of each and continue to count down and do this without rest until you hit zero.

This will result in 120 reps of each exercise and at three seconds per rep they are done at a fast pace and will be over in around 12 minutes.

Rock back slightly and hike the kettlebell between you legs, thrust your hips forward and swing the weight so its in line with your shoulders and repeat.

2. Squat thrust

With feet slightly more than shoulder width apart, do a squat until your hands can touch the floor.

Kick your legs back into a push up position and immediately go back into the squat form and stand up. Repeat.

If you or someone you know struggles with obesity, you understand the struggles of endless weight loss programs that have shown no results, exhaustion from small tasks and the increase of various health risks due to weight.

The Weight Loss Surgery Program at Boston Medical Center offers several procedures for managing weight and weight related health problems. Typically, patients with a BMI greater than 40 can qualify. All surgeries are performed laparoscopically, meaning only through small incisions, which reduces recovery time and results in less post-operative scarring. Each surgical options reduces the size of the stomach in some way, allowing patients to feel full more quickly, and therefore, lose weight.

Perhaps one of the most common surgical options is the Sleeve Gastrectomy, or Gastric Sleeve. Here, the stomach is made smaller by stapling and dividing the majority of the stomach and removing it from the body. The remaining part of the stomach is very narrow and only holds about 3 oz. of food. With this option, food is still able to exit the stomach the same way it would normally. But, similar to Gastric Bypass, vitamin and mineral supplements are still necessary. After surgery, patients will typically be required to take vitamin and mineral supplements.

Another surgical option offered at BMC Gastric Bypass. The purpose of this procedure is to make the stomach smaller by stapling and dividing it into two pouches. The larger part of the stomach is bypassed, meaning that the food is going around it, rather than passing through it. A Y-shaped section of the small intestine is attached to the smaller pouch, creating a bypass for food, skipping the digestive system. Because the main stomach and the first part of the small intestine are bypassed, vitamin and mineral supplements are still necessary.

A third but less common procedure is the Intra-Gastric Balloon. Suited for patients with a BMI between 30-40 who may not otherwise qualify for weight loss surgery, this outpatient procedure is recommended for those who have not been able to lose weight by improving diet and exercise habits. Here, a saline filled silicone balloon is placed endoscopically through the mouth with no surgical incisions. Similar to other weight loss procedures, the idea is that the patient will feel full quickly, due to the size of the balloon in the stomach. Typically after about six months, the balloon is removed.

The team at Boston Medical Center also has extensive experience in revisional weight loss surgery, which can include the removal of existing gastric banding devices (i.e. Lap Band) or the conversion to another type of weight loss surgery. To take the first step in your weight loss journey today, sign up for a new patient information session, or view the presentation online. Your dedicated weight loss surgery team is committed to helping you choose the right path in order to stay happy and healthy.

By the time Fitbit decided to make a smartwatch, it was already behind. It was 2014, and Apple had already announced its watch at its annual fall event. Android Wear was on its way to building up an ecosystem of watches, and Pebble had been around for years.

Fitbit, meanwhile, was still busy cranking out generation after generation of simple fitness trackers you could slap on your wrist. Every year, the company loaded its gadgets with incremental improvementsautomatic heart rate detection, slimmer bands, continuous activity tracking, and oxygen consumption monitoring, to name a fewso that when it launched the Blaze in 2015, many viewed the angular wristband with a full color screen as the Fitbits first smartwatch. We didn't say it was a smartwatch, but a lot of people perceived that it was, says James Park, Fitbits co-founder and CEO.

It wasn'tat least not compared to Fitbit's newest product, the Ionic, which comes out in October. The $300 gadget does plenty of the things people expect from a smartwatch: It plays music, supports mobile payments, displays push notifications. Just don't call it a wrist computer. The Ionic still feels like a hybrid of the Apple Watch, with its Swiss army knife functionality, and the minimalist fitness trackers that have become synonymous with Fitbit.

After years of watching companies struggle to find the smartwatch's raison detre, Park realized that Fitbits device needed to be laser focused. What wed been seeing in the marketplace were devices where the technology was really looking for a problem to solve, he says. Consumers were just confused and unclear about what the purpose of a smartwatch was when it first launched. Fitness and health, they decided, was the killer app. And so the company set out to create a smartwatch that was a fitness tracker first, traditional smartwatch second.

Like most Fitbit products, the Ionic has a utilitarian look. A small rectangular display sits inside the square watch face, like a mini writst television. The angular body, made from nano-molded aluminum, slants downward from the face in an octagonal shape, before connecting with the plastic strap. We call it geo-organic, says Jonah Becker, head of design at Fitbit.

Becker and his team drew inspiration from martian landscapes, sci-fi movies, and technical athleisure in order to give the Ionic its futuristic feel. There's a lot of stuff that's kind of looking backwards in terms of trying to make a smartwatch feel like the same watch your dad had 30 years ago, he says. It felt like it was playing it very safe. The Ionics design, while not exactly elegant, doesnt feel like a brute exercise tool either. Its meant to be worn all day and night. And with four-plus days of battery life (10 hours if you're using GPS and streaming music), thats actually possible.

The battery is layered inside the watchs body, along with an accelerometer and antennas for GPS, Bluetooth, and NFC, which enables mobile payments. On the underside of the watch, a series of optical sensors help the gadget keep track of your heart rate. This is a tri-wavelength sensor, says Shelten Yuen, head of Fitbit research, pointing to the LED in center of the watch.

Most Fitbit products use a tool called PurePulse, which tracks heart rate by shining green light onto the top of the wrist. Because blood absorbs green light, photodiodes on the underside of the watch can monitor how much light is being absorbed at any given time. Every time your heart beats, theres an uptick in green light absorption, which allows the gadget to infer your heart rate.

The tri-wavelength sensor, which can distinguish between red, green, and infrared wavelengths, allows the device to gather more fine grained information like relative blood oxygen level. Using this information, Fitbit is able to keep track of breathing habits, which could in the future help diagnose conditions like sleep apnea. I think of this as the next wave of biomedical engineering, Yuen says.

Those same sensors will be available to third party developers who want to build apps using the data gathered from the Ionic. Fitbit is launching the Ionic with four main partner appsPandora streaming, AccuWeather, Starbucks mobile payments, and a Strava activity trackingbut theyre opening the ecosystem this fall so any developer can add to what the company calls the app gallery.

Though Fitbit thinks of the Ionic as a fitness accessory, customers will inevitably compare it to more established smartwatch brands. And at $300, they should. Fitbit wants to distinguish itself from the bigger ecosystem of smartwatches, and with some smart health initiatives in the works, it just mighteventually. But for now, the Ionic might not want to call itself a smartwatch, but that's exactly what it is.

That juice cleanse wasnt a good idea
Credit: Getty

Torturing yourself with crash diets or fortnight-long juice cleanses isnt a good idea and not just because they make you feel like death.

Taking a tortoise and the hare approach to weight loss ie, slow, constant plodding is the best way to lose weight, scientists claim.

As in the well known Aesops fable, consistent plodding appeared to be more effective than a mad dash to the finish line.

The study of 183 participants found that hares most likely to crash diet their way to slimness lost less weight over two years than tortoises who shed a consistent number of pounds each week.

Researcher Dr Emily Feig, from Drexel University in the US, said: It seems that developing stable, repeatable behaviours related to food intake and weight loss early on in a weight control programme is really important for maintaining changes over the long term.

Obese and overweight individuals were enrolled into a year-long weight loss programme based on meal replacements and behavioural strategies such as self-monitoring, calorie counting and increased exercise.

Bigger weight fluctuations in the first six and 12 weeks led to poorer weight control 12 months and two years later, the results published in the journal Obesity showed.

For example, a person who lost four pounds one week, regained two pounds the next week, and then lost one pound a week later, fared worse that someone who shed one pound per week consistently for three weeks.

The scientists did not explore the reasons why some participants weight varied more than others.

But previous research has shown that trying to slim too fast can set up a yo-yo cycle of crash dieting and fluctuating weight.
