Part 2 Comments on What Dr Oz Said

Good Morning Team – Each of us is an experiment of one. The facts are clear.

Fact One: Thanks to modern farming techniques – in general – today’s fruits and vegetables have much less nutritional content than the same foods we ate just 20 years ago. Estimates range from one tenth to one twentieth. Meaning the saying is now, “10 20 apples a day keeps the doctor away.” So if we are going to “try” to get our nutrition from food we’re going to have to eat a lot more than the “recommended” amounts in order to obtain proper levels of nutrition.

“Uncle Sam” recommends 3 cups of fruits and veggies per day. Dr Oz recommends 12-15 servings of both per day and Dr Cooper says; “5 is fine, 9 is divine“. (servings) (A serving is generally more than a cup)

Now I’ve worked from home for 14+ years and I’ve learned how to get to 5-9 servings pretty efficiently. Yet for me, 12-15 seems like having a full time job of preparing and eating fruits & vegetables. And for people who work outside the home…research shows the average adult gets 3 servings per day we can extrapolate that they’re just not making the time to eat right.

Therefore it makes “common sense” that we all must take a well balanced nutritional supplement.

Fact Two: Not all supplements are created equal. There are roughly 1600 nutrition companies making products for humans. And just because a product is popular, well advertised, “cheap” or “expensive” …doesn’t mean it’s good….or bad.

Now the maddening part. Even when one has access to actual research papers and side notes….rarely does one find specifically what fruits or veggies were used in a particular study, where they were grown, what their actual nutritional content was, if there were any pesticide or fertilizer residues on them when they were eaten etc etc.

And when it comes to studies on specific supplements like Vit A, C, E and so forth – rarely do the papers even mention what brand was used, was it a “standardized” product, were they natural or synthetic, were they stored at proper temperatures, taken with or without food, etc etc.

My point; now you begin to understand why CNN can report this week that product X will keep you alive forever and next week they’ll report that product X causes instant cancer.

So we are left with each of us being an “experiment of one”. What works for one person may or may not work for another. Your Health is your first Wealth and it is your “Response-Ability”

About Dr Bill Toth

Bill’s Background I’m just an average guy who’s learned a few things about Life, Success and Personal Development – thanks to some incredibly good and bad experiences during the past 25+ years. I’ve made many mistakes and have learned to combine down to earth values with a unique ability to distill complex concepts into simple powerful strategies which can be immediately applied to produce measurable results. In short; “I’ve traveled the territory, drawn a few maps and I’m happy to share them” I do not consider myself to be an “expert” and my work is never presented as the definitive doctrine on how you should live your life or what it takes to be successful in your business. I am a work in progress and if you were to you join me on life’s journey by hiring me as your coach or partnering with us in business – our learning will very likely be a two way street. In fact, I expect it to be. “What you know dies with you – what you DO leaves a legacy” I was raised in upstate New York and eastern Pennsylvania. This rural upbringing is strongly reflected in my personal value hierarchy: Faith > Family > Friends > Fitness and Finance. Education and a commitment to continuous improvement are next on the list. All these and more are strongly reflected in my coaching, teaching, writing and speaking. While growing my private practice I also taught Orthopedics and Neurology at both the undergraduate and graduate level, produced a TV show on fitness, appeared on numerous radio and TV programs, authored numerous journal articles, chapters for medical texts, served as vice-president of my state medical association, and started a family. I have had the honor and privilege of consulting with and coaching a diverse population of people from royalty to prisoners, from children to CEO’s, from amateur to professional athletes from 41 countries and people of almost every race, creed, religious belief and nationality. I am passionately committed to contribution and Living With Intention. Part of my philosophy is to think globally while acting locally. I am a very active member of my church, as well as several community organizations. After church, my favorite philanthropy is the Nourish the Children. I have also performed extensive volunteer work for both the Anthony Robbins Foundation, and the Make a Wish Foundation. Why become an Entrepreneur? I became an entrepreneur because after 5 years of Health Care Reform I found I was merely an employee of the various insurance company’s I was interacting with. I became painfully aware I was working more hours for less money and that what I was doing wasn’t working! At the same time my beautiful daughter, Casey, was born. This was the first time in my life I started to think about my future, and of course hers. When children come into your life, your perspective changes from Firebirds and Ferrari’s to Gymnastics, music lessons, horseback riding and so forth. Suddenly, I had to think longterm – was what I was doing going to provide all the things that a father wants for his children? In October of 1998 I started my entrepreneurial endeavors on a very part time basis. Less than 3 months later my New Year’s Resolution was to put my practices up for sale. In May of 1999 I sold them and began to work on my dreams and my fortune on a full time basis. From there, it took me a full five years to get to the point where I could do whatever I wanted to do. Along the way I wrote my first book: “Morning Moments”…as well as learning a few things about money, transitioning careers and happiness. I am happy to share what I know, in short again; “I’ve traveled the territory, drawn a few maps and I’m happy to share them” In summary; Transitioning careers was the hardest challenge I’ve ever taken up and it’s been the most rewarding! In so many ways, this is the very best personal development seminar I’ve ever taken because I met mySelf and my wife in the process…and every perceived adversity was worth it. Today, with my wife Julie, we “get to” pay the gift forward by coaching, mentoring others through the same process. There is no greater pleasure than showing others how to earn their freedom and then observing what good they do with it. Life Will Never Be The Same
