“Spurred on by
her post-baby bulge, naturopath Narelle Stegehuis created
a winning weight loss
strategy.”
Featured in Australian New Idea in Feb. 2005, this article highlights not only
why the Mass Attack program works, it's proven with just two of the program's
many success stories.
Mandy and Joanne (shown here with Narelle, centre) were
more than happy to show their post-program smiles for the
camera.

Andropause
When
your ‘pot’ drops!
Are you over 30, with an unhealthy gut, feeling tired, experiencing
cravings and have a lowered sex drive?
The chances are you are going though male menopause.
Medical science has well documented that male androgens progressively
decline with age. Starting at about age 30 - testosterone
levels drop by about 10 percent every decade. By the time
men are between the ages of 40 and 55, they can experience
a phenomenon similar to the female menopause, called andropause.
Morre often than not bodily changes tend to occur gradually
and may include changes in moods and attitudes, fatigue,
a loss of energy, sex drive and physical agility.
Andropause begins at a critical time when life often offers some
of its greatest rewards and indeed challenges. It is indeed a
normal part of aging, although, for some men it is accompanied
by a change in body weight with gain of concerning weight
around the abdomen (stomach) and hips. This being said there are ways to adddress these symptoms.
When next you're in front of a mirror, turn sideways and
look at your body profile. If you
see a pronounced central bulge, measure it. Put a tape measure
around the broadest part of your abdomen - this can tell
you much more than you imagine. If you're male and measure
over 94 centimetres, it's highly likely you've got a cocktail
of potentially fatal conditions. The same applies if you
are female and you measure 80 centimetres or more.
This 'exercise' seems ridiculously simplistic, but these numbers
are the result of international consensus, conducted at
the highest level and based on millions of hours of research.
They represent the base measurement of what is now being
called metabolic syndrome. Without being dramatic, this
is the time bomb syndrome. It is a blend of conditions
linked to an enlarged girth that triples your risk of heart
attack or stroke and potentially marks you for an early
death.
In your body you have two kinds of fat, that which occurs
under your skin, and that which collects around the major
organs in your abdomen. This latter internal fat is most dangerous
because it is dynamic, highly mobile and can get into the
bloodstream twice as fast. It takes a much shorter route
and goes almost directly to the liver.
You can safely assume that if your waist has expanded,
then your blood vessels have narrowed. Overwhelming evidence
shows that if you can reduce your girth, then you can make a
striking difference to your general health and long-term life expectancy.
MassAttack has consistent fantastic success with men in
achieving accelerated weight loss and better health. The
MassAttack program takes a natural holistic strategy to
address this hormonal condition, including prescribing
optimal foods and supportive nutrients for you, regular
exercise and stress management.
