Self-discipline is a learned skill, not an inborn characteristic. It is not something that comes easily for anyone or is always an enjoyable thing to do.

It has been said that the biggest problem we have when trying to improve some area of our life is that we often fail to implement much in the form of action to make it happen. We know we need to change something, but perhaps we don’t have any kind of structure or plan to make that change happen. However, perhaps the second biggest problem is that we don’t perform consistently in implementing those plans over a longer period of time. Read More

Most people are surprised to learn of the effects of many different foods on their bodies while on the Genesis weight loss program.

There is so much confusion with the topic of grains. Perhaps we should start by talking about what it looks like to be grain-free. It not only involves excluding wheat products - which have a myriad of variations like semolina and durum (which you usually see in pastas), spelt, farina, graham, rye, barley and malt, as well as others; but, also, in gluten-free grains like corn, rice and oats. Oats don’t normally contain gluten, however, today there is a lot of cross-contamination from wheat fields. Read More

Today we will look at the cell’s problem, why we can’t burn fat, and why we remain as sugar burners. It’s all about the hormonal receptors on the cells and their ability to connect with the hormones like thyroid, leptin, ghrelin and insulin.
