Nutritional Supplementation
The key to better health, wellness and appearance is long term fat loss with muscle maintenance.
The most effective way is to consume one gram of protein per lb of lean body mass
The most consistent and convenient way to achieve this is by drinking 2 Cornerstone protein shakes/day
The shake will markedly reduce appetite making it easier to stay on track
This would be in addition to fresh protein and produce with significant reduction in starchy food and sweets
The other two supplements MetAssist and OmegaHealth also curb carb craving and reduce gut fat

Nutraceutical Ingredients
MetAssist - Click Down Arrow Here ->
MetAssist is collection of several key nutraceuticals that have demonstrated clinical efficacy in multiple published, peer reviewed studies to lower insulin and serum glucose levels, lower inflammatory markers, decrease appetite and feeding behavior resulting in demonstrated loss of body weight as much as 5.4% in 8 weeks (1)
Contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) extracted from the tropical fruit Garcinia Cambogia which partially inhibits hepatic conversion of glucose to free fatty acids (lipogenesis). HCA also decreases absorption of glucose from the ileum (2-4).
HCA lowers insulin levels, serum glucose, triglycerides, food intake, body weight, CRP and interleukin 6 and the development of insulin resistance in obese, male Zucker rats (experimental model for human obesity (5)
HCA also lowers several inflammatory markers including HCA interestingly increases serotonin levels in human subjects 44%and since abnormal eating is thought to be at least partially serotonin mediated (stress eating) perhaps this explains some of its efficacy (6)
MetAssist contains niacin bound chromium, chromium polynicotinate (NOT picolinate) which is also known as glucose tolerance factor. It is the ligand that attaches the insulin receptor to the cell membrane and also aids in the phosphorylation (activation of the receptor) (7). Since most overweight patients have some degree of insulin resistance, this compound is of key importance.
Studies report a drop in HbA1C of 0.6 in diabetics with chromium polynicotinate (8)
Contains gymnema sylvestrie, an herb used in Aryuvedic medicine for 2000 years for diabetes treatment. This compound interferes with the function of the sweet receptors on the tongue and also causes hypoglycemia in laboratory animals (9)
Gymnema sylvestrie lowers cholesterol and triglycerides in laboratory animals (10)
Contains green tea extract that acts as a mild thermogenic aid also serving as an anti-oxidant (11)
Fenugreek seeds, an herb used since Egyptian times for diabetes, has been shown in human studies to lower serum glucose and 24 hour urinary glucose excretion by 54% and also to significantly improve glucose tolerance tests, lower LDL and VLDL while not changing HDL (12)
These ingredients all have a tremendous safety profile having been tested individually and in combination in multiple published clinical and animal studies (13)

OmegaHealth - Click Down Arrow Here ->
OmegaHealth is an ultra-purified, super high dose omega 3 supplement which is an integral part of the Cornerstone Wellness program
Each softgel contains 460 mg of EPA and 180 mg of DHA for a total of 640mg per softgel
More impressive than the dose however is the purity. There is no purer omega 3 oil available anywhere, with the lowest levels of PCB, dioxin, mercury of any oil available in the world.
The extreme purity is due to the proprietary three-stage, PureMax molecular distillation process. Whereas all the finest omega 3 supplements are molecularly distilled, our oil is the only one that is triple distilled resulting in mercury levels that are measured in parts per billion rather than parts per million like other high end omega3.
The oil is processed under a nitrogen blanket and packaged into cobalt blue glass jars to further protect it from oxygen and UV light. Most omega 3 supplements are full of lipid peroxides (rancid) and may be doing more harm than good due to membrane toxicity.
Omega 3 supplementation is critical for the management of metabolic syndrome as it increases insulin sensitivity, lowers triglycerides, decreases endothelial inflammation, improves platelet function, lowers atherogenic, small dense LDL and improves arterial compliance resulting in better blood pressure control. Every patient with metabolic syndrome needs to be on Omega 3 supplementation.
In addition to the cardio-protective effects, omega3 supplementation has tremendous and pervasive anti-inflammatory effects. In fact, the omega6 to omega3 ratio is what sets the pro-inflammatory/anti- inflammatory milieu for the entire system.

Nutritional FAQ's
How many calories should I get?
Your calorie intake is customized to your basal metabolic rate (BMR). We recommend 10% off your metabolic rate in order to lose fat while maintaining your tremendously important muscle mass. This will prevent weight regain and yo-yoing.
How much protein do I need?
You need one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass (LBM) to maintain your muscle mass and basal metabolic rate (BMR). If you drop your BMR you will burn less calories and store more fat. Therefore based on your testing you will need ____ grams of protein per day.
How much protein do I currently eat?
Use chart to calculate a typical day’s protein intake using exchanges. An exchange is simply a portion size. One exchange of protein contains 7 grams. For example, 3 exchanges of protein equals 21 grams which is about the size of a deck of cards.
How can I get enough protein?
In addition to eating high protein meals you should also be drinking 2 protein shakes per day, preferably at breakfast and lunch.
What about carbs?
Starchy and sugary foods and snacks convert directly to fat. These foods are typically white (bread, potatoes pasta, rice, sugar, beer). The less white food you eat the faster you will lose fat. Try to get all your carbs from vegetables and small amounts of fruit.
What about fat?
Despite years of misinformation we now know that eating fat does not make you fat. Concentrate on getting your protein requirement and limiting your white food intake and you will be tremendously successful.

If you find it easiest to track portion sizes based on “exchanges” (servings) rather than using a computer or mobile app, use this method to track how many servings of protein, carbohydrates and fat you consume daily. Write down everything you eat each day so your wellness coach can help you make progress.

IMPORTANT. Your daily calorie intake and protein/carb intake must be customized based on your body fat test results to insure muscle maintenance and maximum fat loss. Select GOALS, FOODS, MACRONUTRIENTS and reset to Carbs-35%, Protein-35% and Fat-30%. Set calories to level determined by your coach.
