By Michelle Graham on September 12, 2018Nutritional Pharmacist Ben Fuchs spoke on our recent webinar about Lectins, the hidden danger present in common “healthy” plant foods. If you think you’ve been doing everything right for your health, taking the essential nutrients every day, but still experiencing chronic health issues, then this webinar with world renowned Nutritional Pharmacist Ben Fuchs may give you some long awaited answers to turn your health around. Ben discusses how plants have an inbuilt protection system against predators (including humans) and how these protection systems can cause serious harm to the intestinal wall causing leaky gut, which in turn then triggers an immune response and inflammation in the body. Some of the health challenges linked with Lectin consumption are: Leaky Gut, Arterial damage, Weight Gain, Crohn’s disease, Hashimoto’s disease, Celiac disease, Lupus, IBS, and many more. Ben states that Leaky Gut Syndrome is the root cause for every Autoimmune disease. We also hear how Youngevity Gluco-Gel rebuilds connective tissue which is vital for repairing damaged intestinal walls. Ben also mentions that this ability of Gluco-Gel to repair/grow connective tissue in the body can assist with reducing wrinkles on the skin, help repair ruptured discs, hernias, prolapses and many other issues in the body. We also learn what Youngevity products can deter or repair Lectin damage in the body: FucoidZ Gluco-Gel Nightly Essense Ultimate Enzymes Ben gives us a protocol for repairing Leaky Gut Syndrome: 1. Keep a Food Diary, then eliminate the problem foods 2. Probiotics such as Youngevity Nightly Essense + Fermented Foods 3. Eat more Fibre 4. Use Ultimate Enzymes to boost stomach acid, bile and generally assist the digestive process 5. Rebuild Connective Tissue that forms the intestinal wall (Youngevity Gluco-Gel is very beneficial for this) 6. Eat Less Food 7. Extra Bile (Youngevity Ultimate Enzymes supplies this) Watch Pharmacist Ben below….
pintadachica on 14 Sep 18Introduction to Operational Excellence For most of us, Lean is a common concept by now. By extension, we're also familiar with the idea of continuous improvement; the way we run our business should ultimately be reflective of a chain of efforts to change for the better and reach more perfect efficiency. That's all well and good, but we've seen more and more businesses shying away from simply relying on "continuous improvement" in recent years and instead throwing around the term "operational excellence." While the two terms do ultimately work in tandem, and even though there's some overlap, it's important to understand where the two differ. A good way to think about operational excellence is as the answer or endgame to your continuous improvement actions, it's a state you want to attain through your workplace improvement endeavors. Unlike continuous improvement, however, where you're simply trying to 'always get better', operational excellence has a more clearly defined point where it can be said you've reached your goals. One of the biggest criteria for operational excellence is a horizontal and vertical (so throughout all levels and teams of a company) understanding of how workflow should look and how to correct problems when something isn't flowing correctly.
