Year Twenty Nine: Vitamins & Minerals

Anyone who knows anything about me has a clear and concise understanding - for my loyalty to Tracy Anderson (see journey - here, here, here, here). So, it goes without saying when new products come out I'm the first in line. I purchased a canister of her Wellness Formula Shake awhile ago and never looked back. It's filling, tastes like Chocolate without the calories of Chocolate, and keeps me full so I can use as a meal replacement. Below are the latest food products Tracy has created - has anyone tried them?

THE NUTRIENT PROGRAM BY TRACY ANDERSON
If there’s one industry that’s shrouded in hype, fluff, and mystery, it’s probably the vitamin and supplement complex. After all, there are a lot of bogus promises, products, and claims out there. It’s truly a bummer, because micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are so very essential to our well-being that they don’t deserve to be maligned. For years, I’ve been diving into the science behind micronutrition, not only to separate the wheat from the chaff and fact from fiction, but also to understand how to deliver these key nutritional elements in their most absorbable forms. I did this for the sake of THE NUTRIENT PROGRAM, but I also did it for myself, because even the most carefully-constructed diet can miss the micronutrient mark. It’s not necessarily about poor food choices: Cooking techniques can leach key elements, and storage and production methods can undermine ingredients, too. And let’s not forget that rigorous exercise—so very vital to our health—will invariably cause you to sweat, and excrete vitamins and minerals as part of the normal process. Like you, I need a daily supplement as well, and I wanted to be sure to make one that’s the very best available, no stone unturned, no expense spared. Not only does THE NUTRIENT PROGRAM by TRACY ANDERSON ensure comprehensive micronutrient coverage using only top-of-the-line components, but we’ve ensured that all elements are in their most bioavailable form, to create maximum absorption. I know it’s a bit more expensive than your average drugstore Multi-Vitamin, but for the price of a cup of coffee, you can rest assured that you’re giving your body a huge dose of health. THE NUTRIENT PROGRAM by TRACY ANDERSON includes choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid for increased hair, nail, and bone strength; pure, cold water fish oils for improved mental functioning and cardiovascular health; Methylated Resveratrol for supporting healthy cellular function; dairy free probiotics to encourage bowel regularity; Vitamin D3 for general health; and so much more. In short, we’ve left no stone unturned in our efforts to deliver everything you need to promote health, wellness and general detoxification.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

TRACY ANDERSON HORMONAL WEIGHT LOSS CHART
Unlike men, who undergo one hormonal change in their lives, women go through multiple shifts. After puberty, women may have babies, which can create a hormonal imbalance. Later, with beginning of menopause, women may feel the effects of their body's changing hormones. It’s impossible to completely mitigate the effects of these swings, so I’ve worked to come up with solutions to help ease the transitions. The combination of the right kind of exercise, knowing what to eat and when, and controlling stress release, will help you understand exactly what’s happening internally over the course of the month. I created the TRACY ANDERSON HORMONAL WEIGHT LOSS CHART to help you navigate every month so that you feel like you have ownership over your weight loss: I will point you to the things you should be eating and when, and exactly how you should be working out. With the chart, you will receive a guide for your cycle, a full-month description, and recipes.
TRACY’S PERFECT PERFORMANCE WELLNESS FORMULA SHAKE
Though my wellness shake formula is an excellent meal replacement for those of you who are being extra-cognizant of calories, weight control isn’t its only intent. It’s also ideal for those of you who need an extra shot of energy to see you through your muscular structure or cardio work, and it’s also been engineered to promote gastrointestinal health, and optimize the body’s ability to detoxify and respond to inflammation. The shakes are a clinically-proven, all-natural complement to a well-balanced eating plan. Gluten, lactose, and fructose-free, my shake formula is packed with natural ingredients to support the healthy body composition that we all want—you won’t find any of the extra “stuff” that lives in most performance drinks, just the essentials to speed you on your way to body transformation! Beyond consuming it as a Chocolate or Vanilla Delight shake, the blog is packed with additional recipes for mixing things up flavor-wise.
