Is That A Threat? (Bad News and Good News)
Did you know that your brain functions solely to ensure that you continue to exist? Its purpose is to maintain your survival PERIOD. It is monitoring your environment ALL THE TIME to assess any level of threat to YOU…
When under threat, the brain cannot respond, it reacts to its environment only. Response comes from the cognitive function part of the brain (the Prefrontal Cortex) whereas, reaction comes from a totally different part of the brain (Brain stem AKA the Reptilian brain).
The cognitive portion of the brain allows you to thrive. The Reptilian brain reacts for your survival. Thrive cannot occur when threat is present. When we are under threat our bodies react, via Fight, Flight or Freeze – also know as the Sympathetic Nervous System.
THE BAD NEWS:
Nowadays there is constant perceived threat due to NUMEROUS factors:
- Too little time
- Too much pressure
- Unable to predict the future
- Media stories
- Finances
- TV
- Work environments
- GMO, pesticides, Additives
and almost EVERYBODY’S sympathetic nervous system is on overdrive, which causes a cascade of physiological events; wreaking hovoc on the entire system. Naturally there is supposed to be a balance between the Sympathetic and Parasympathetc Nervous Systems (the latter also know as Rest and Digest or PNS).
THE GOOD NEWS:
Perceived threat can be removed fairly easily and can DRAMATICALLY
- improve health and fitness results,
- assimilate food better,
- reduce and prevent pain,
- increase over all brain function,
- Improve digestion,
- Improve movement etc.
all by activating the Parasympathetc Nervous System. When the PNS is dominant it will allow for greater results in every aspect of your life, particularly in your health!
The other GREAT NEWS:
It can be done fairly easily in a short period of time using simple methods. I will share some of these in the next email but if you really want to learn first hand, come to my workshop where we will do an incredible parasympathetic workout!

The Science Of Happiness
Hey EF Fam,
As you may already know from past newsletters/emails/articles that one of my favorite emotions is gratitude 🙂 It’s an unwritten law that what you focus on expands…and when you focus on what you are grateful for, you get more of what you are grateful for and then some. One of the most powerful things you can do to change your day is a daily dozen gratitude list.
Write down 12 things that you FEEL grateful for in your life at this moment and see if it changes your perspective. The key is to FEEL gratitude, not just write it. When we feel gratefulness in our hearts, those powerful emotions are emitted out into the world and effect our entire universe for the better and that is a fact 🙂
Check out this video to see something similar take action. It should put a smile on your face.
Committed to your happiness,
Ian

Beaufort Fat Loss: Comes First in Beaufort’s Best Gym
Stop thinking about weight loss. Our main focus at EarthFIT Gym and the number one step for almost everybody is Beaufort fat loss. Having a well-built, lean, toned body isn’t about how much people weigh. Even if your objective or goal is not to appear like Arnold Schwarzenegger with 260 pounds of pure muscles but simply to look like one of the famous person or a superstar walking down the red carpet, then you’ll absolutely want to benefit from “the science of body recomposition” that is entirely embraced at EarthFIT.
“The science of body re-composition is more than just losing the unwanted pounds. It is about making sure that you shed pounds of fat, while maintaining—or even increasing—muscle mass.” This method of Beaufort fat loss offers various advantages. Keeping this focus in mind guarantees that after you achieve your goal you do not end up with saggy and weak body. Instead when you lose the fat and keep your muscles, the result is you will become stronger and toned.
This is exactly what you will achieve if you work out at EarthFIT Gym in Beaufort. The measure of your progress is not how many pounds you lost but how much fat you lost. Measuring actual fat loss is possible, your body fat percentage can be determined through any of the available method:
-Skin calipers
-Bioelectrical impedance devices
-Hydrostatic weighing or even the gold-standard expensive method Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA scanning).
“Your body fat percentage is estimated at baseline, and then repeat estimates are taken ,using the same instrument, and are compared to original readings to get an accurate estimation of fat loss and potential muscular gains. Fat loss is revered especially when you manage to add even a few pounds of muscle. This drastically changes your metabolic needs at rest. In everyday lingo that translates to more calories burnt while you are doing absolutely nothing. Interestingly, many obese or very overweight people try to determine their caloric needs per day based, using all the available formulas, by just plugging in their actual weights. In many instances, this results in an erroneously high estimate because what is happening is that the large mass of fat in their bodies are throwing the numbers off, because it is inert, it does not actually burn any calories. When the fat mass is large enough, the numbers yielded can be ridiculously high (nearing 3500 calories per day at times.) Even a modest fat loss in these cases can help improve the accuracy of the estimation of daily maintenance caloric needs.”
Fat loss is at the back of the health benefits of general weight loss. While fat is metabolically inert, it is biologically active. It’s kind of confusing, right? But for you to know, “Adipose tissue (fat) does not burn calories but it manufactures a variety of hormones, including the female hormone Estrogen. Males definitely don’t want that in their system! And it is also detrimental for females. Hyperestrogenaemia (too much Estrogen) is implicated in breast and endometrial cancers.”
EarthFIT gym in Beaufort will help you do it the right way whether your Beaufort fat loss goals are motivated by vanity or health consciousness!
Beaufort Health and Fitness: How to Get Rid of Cellulite
What is Cellulite? Why does it plague 90% of all women? And how can we cure cellulite in Beaufort? That’s basically the question!
Cellulite is fat. No one really knows the exact cause of cellulite and it’s not just any old fat. Mischa Barton, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton, J -Lo, … just to name some of celebrities that even them are afflicted with it. Cellulite is the result of deposits of fat that take residence just under the surface of the skin.
It forms in the subcutaneous fat layer, which is different from the reserve layers of fat as the fat lobes are squeezed together by the strands of tissue that surround them. It is formed when the connective tissue gives way and allows the fat to touch each other and protrude through the skin. This becomes even more apparent with age as our skin tends to thin as we get older. Cellulite is most commonly found in the thighs, buttocks and abdomen of Beaufortonian women, though it can be seen in other parts of the body less frequently. Genetics, dietary habits (junk food, alcohol, spicy foods), smoking, high stress and tight clothing have all been attributed with causing cellulite. Cottage cheese skin, or orange peel syndrome are the common terms which depict this annoyance fat that most Beaufort women are too recognizable with. Here are a few scientific names for it:
– adiposis edematosa
– dermo-panniculosis deformans
– status protrusus cutis, and
– gynoid lipodystrophy
Here is a picture of what your body looks like if you were to cut it in half.
In Beaufort are, there are so many so-called cures for cellulite – laser therapy, creams, massages, special gloves, body wraps and liposuction. A number of these “treatments” are pricey without doing any bit of good. On the Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz, warns women not to get into the hype and he isn’t even a believer. As a result, what really works? Dr. Wayne Westcott, PhD, director of research programs at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Mass., and author of No More Cellulite says that cellulite is “… an issue of having too much fat and too little muscle.”
The best and sure thing to do is to find the perfect Beaufort health and fitness, exercise program to cure cellulite. The Beaufort health and fitness program that incorporates cardio as well as resistance training and a proper diet. At EarthFIT, Beaufort health and fitness training programs are geared toward your goals and you’re treated like the individual you are. You can get rid and cure cellulite in Beaufort by getting the best resistance, cardio and diet program and the most qualified Beaufort personal trainers (Lady’s Island, Burton, Bluffton, Hilton Head) without breaking the bank.
Again, there are so many other benefit aside from combating cellulite through exercise. It can help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. It aids with weight management, boosts your energy, mood and promotes better sleep patterns. And EarthFIT’s Beaufort clients have all experienced at least one of the above benefits. Remember, 90% of women (and some men) have cellulite, whether we’re skinny or obese. In other words, cellulite doesn’t discriminate by size and it doesn’t care if you live in Beaufort, Lady’s Island, Hilton Head or Bluffton. We obsess about it so much that anti-cellulite treatment has ballooned to a multibillion dollar industry. But if you choose to fight it with the proper Beaufort health and fitness, exercise program, you shouldn’t wait. It’s best to start early. Cellulite starts forming right after puberty, so if you want to get a jumpstart on beach season, or your modeling career, call 800-718-7FIT EarthFIT and cure cellulite in Beaufort NOW.
