WWW.MAXMUSCLE.COM ı APRIL 2016
"Let me l isten to me
and not them." –Gertrude Stein
Personally, I think Gertrude is on to
something. Let me explain...On February 1st, my husband's
son Colton shipped off to U.S.
Marine Corps Boot Camp in San
Diego, California. While he is there
for 13 weeks, my husband and I
are doing our own boot camp back
home to show our support. We have both completely cut out alcohol and
we are both on these incredible Max Muscle Nutrition meal plans (many
thanks to our awesome coach Megan Casey at Max Muscle South Metro in
Colorado for her support and knowledge). We are taking our supplements
every day and we are hitting the gym at least four times a week. By week
six, we both lost 10 pounds each and every day we are slimming down in
inches all over our bodies and our body fat percentage is dropping. That'sthe background story. Why the quote?
OK, since becoming the Editor in Chief of Max Sports & Fitness, I have
written and edited countless stories of people's transformations with
the help of Max Muscle. I believe this to be one of the most important
services Max Muscle provides – changing lives for the better. One of the
common complaints from those who've undergone a transformation is all
the "naysayers" and "diet saboteurs" they encountered on their journeys. I
never fully understood this until recently.
I had one family member who has struggled with weight since her 30s
tell me that losing weight is harder to do the older you get (I just turned
41) and that I would most likely gain it all back so I shouldn't bother. I had
some friends at my own birthday party pushing me to drink wine with them.
When I asked my doctor if perhaps my hormones were a little to blame for
my weight gain, he told me that I should accept that I live in Texas and that
women are heavier here. Um, huh??
Yes, I have put on some extra pounds in the last few years. But guess
what? Until Feb. 1st, I wasn't truly living the healthy lifestyle I know how to
live. I was eating bad, drinking wine, not exercising – my normal healthy
habits took a backseat to losing my father, going through a divorce, finding
love, becoming immeasurably happy, losing my sister, working too much,
and being plain ol' lazy. Sure, I dieted here and there, worked out once in a
while, and I even gave up wine for a month. But I wasn't consistent. I knew
it was time to put an end to all the bad habits. For real this time.
So now when friends want me to drink with them, when people try to
get me to eat bad foods, or when my doctor tells me I should just accept
that I will be heavier because of where I live, I say, "Let me listen to me
and not them." You see, I know what I want. I know this is a lifestyle I haveto maintain for the rest of my life. It just feels too good! People who don't
invest in the lifestyle will fail. The weight will come back.
You have to decide every day to make the right choices. So listen to
yourself. What do you really want? What do you truly need? Forget the
naysayers. They have no power over you. Only you do. As Eunice Camacho
Infante said, "In the end, people will judge you anyway. Don't live your life
impressing others, live your life impressing yourself."
Until next time,
La R u e V. G i l l e s p i e

FEEDBACK Results, photos, comments, and thank you's
from people across the United States who makeup the great Max Nation.
We have forged a great partnership with Farrell's Extreme Body shaping West Dodge
and Northwest Omaha. For nearly three years, We have been part of their 10 Week
Transformations and FIT student programs. I always give their nutrition seminars toteach their new students about food and how to make eating healthy a lifestyle that
lasts. After that, we sample at each location so their members can try the top shelf
quality that Max Muscle has to offer.
Working together, we have grown our businesses while helping literally thousands
of people live healthier lifestyles. Recently, a member of FXB NW and a nutrition client
of mine, Jim Hilton, finished top 10 in the FXB year-long transformation contest. This
speaks volumes for the partnership that we have built and cemented with FXB NW
and WD here in Omaha Nebraska. We look forward to continue to reshape Omaha 10
weeks at a time! – Steve Lucchino, Franchisee, Max Muscle Omaha & Papillion
This is a compliment for one of your stores. My husband and I
have been going to Max Muscle in Council Bluffs since last April
to lose weight. Together with the help and encouragement of the
people at Max Muscle, we have completely changed our lifestyle
and have lost a combined total of 90 pounds. Not only are we
looking better, we are feeling better too.
Over the holiday weekend, I fell off my bike and broke my leg
and ankle. One of the store owners, Troy Graves, stopped by
with a care package from Max Muscle. The customer service and
genuine care and encouragement we have received from Max
Muscle in Council Bluffs is outstanding. This is one of the reasons
we will continue to be loyal customers and refer as many people
we can when they ask how how we are losing weight.

In January 2015, I beganthe MaxFormationprogram with SteveLucchino at Max MuscleOmaha, Nebraska. eprogram boasts a truelifestyle change to not
just reach your goals,but progress from there.In addition to usingthe great Max Muscleproducts, I chose to dothe personalized mealplan as well.
By enrolling in thisprogram, and working with Steve, I have learned a vast amount of informationregarding both health and fitness. As I look back from the last year, I would say themost important thing I have learned is the importance of meal preparation. My own
personal mantra is, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."Another important rule that I live by is to have healthy snacks available not only athome, but at work and while travelling. One product in particular that I relied on isMaxPro. is product has proven to be a great supplement when in a rush. Anotherhelpful product is Emerge. Emerge helped give me a boost in the morning to wakeme up and prepare me for a workout. With the help of the program, Steve, and the meal plan, I now carry the knowledgeto stay on the path of a healthy lifestyle. I feel extremely blessed to have been a partof this experience, and have taken the opportunity to pass what I have learned on tomy family and friends so they can also enjoy a healthy lifestyle. ere are no secrets orshortcuts to success. Success is the direct result of preparation, hard work, education,and learning what works for you and what does not. As Steve and Tyler (at Max
Muscle) always say, “If it ’s not a lifestyle, it’s not for life!”

HEALTH BEAT From feeding your gut to killing cancer cells, hereare the latest blurbs about health and nutrition.BY LINDA HEPLER, BSN, RN
FEED YOUR GUTScientists have known for some time now that goodgut bacteria thrive on the veggies that we consume.But a recent discovery by Australian researchersmade it clearer how this happens. According to theresearch, E. coli bacteria, a type of bacteria foundin the gut, produce an enzyme that is used by thebacteria to absorb and metabolize sugars found inleafy green vegetables, like spinach and kale, for
energy. This assures a healthy population of goodgut bacteria, which in turn leaves less room for thebad guys.
MUSCLE RECOVERY POST ULTRAMARATHON
According to a new study, if you’re an extreme athlete, you should expect to give your
muscles a good long time to recover after an event. The research studied 72 participants
in the 2015 Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile race through the Sierra Nevada
Mountains of northern California, finding that it took five to seven days for blood samples
measuring muscle damage to return to normal. Participants reported an even longer time
for their running speed to return to normal.
GOING PALEO?If so, you may want to reconsider, said University of
Melbourne researchers, especially if you have pre-
diabetes. A new mouse study has shown that the low-
carb, high-fat diet touted by some celebrities – even
if followed for a mere eight weeks – can lead to rapid
weight gain and an increased risk for diabetes. The
findings prompted the scientists to issue a warning
not to put faith in fad diets that aren’t backed by solidscientific evidence.
Yet another study, this time from the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology, has shown that three to five servings
of wine, liquor, or beer per week is heart healthy. But this
study was unique, claimed the researchers, because while
previous studies have contrasted
those who drink moderately
with those who rarely or
never drink, the non-drinkingpopulation used in countries
such as the United States and
southern European nations
where almost everyone drinks
may have included people
who have stopped drinking due
to alcohol problems, making study
findings less accurate. For this reason,
the researchers wanted to explore the issue
with a Norwegian population, where many
people drink rarely or not at all. The findings:
the more often participants consumed alcohol
within normal limits (3-5 drinks weekly), the
lower their risk of heart problems likeheart attack and heart failure.
Can Working Out Kill Cancer Cells?Many cancer treatment centers include holistic therapies, such as diet, massage, and yoga
to help manage cancer and its symptoms. ere may be one additional recommendation
based upon recent research reported in Cell Metabolism. e study from the University of
Copenhagen showed that when mice spent time doing high intensity exercise, the surge
of adrenaline that comes with the workout helped to move cancer-killing immune cells
toward tumors, causing a reduction in tumor size. is research paves the way for human
trials that will help to guide docs in providing advice for lifestyle changes that will help with treatment.

The human microbiome begins to
establish itself right at the moment
of birth, when the newborn is coated
with microbes from the mother’s birth
canal, then continues to grow with
the ingestion of breast milk and from
contact with siblings, parents, and other
caregivers. As we age, our microbiome
changes, depending upon environmental
contact with pets, soil, plants, and
people, and also upon the foods we eat.Every human being has a mixture of
microbes, including bacteria, archaea,
fungi, protists, and viruses – and each
person’s microbiome is different.
The function of each of the players
is so carefully orchestrated that the
microbiome has been described by the
American Academy of Microbiology
as “a newly recognized organ with a
range of metabolic activities.” Certain
bacteria in the gut, for example, aid in
the digestion of carbohydrates; others
break down the sulfur you eat in foodslike animal proteins and cruciferous
YHJJLHV WR K\GURJHQ VXO¿GH VWLOO DQRWKHU
reduces the sulfates to the proper level.
And on the skin and in the mouth and
genitourinary tract, “good” bacteria
produce compounds that inhibit disease-
causing pathogens.
It’s when the balance of your
microbiome goes awry – a condition
called dysbiosis – that the trouble
begins, said Mark Heiman, PhD,
YLFH SUHVLGHQW DQG FKLHI VFLHQWL¿F
RI¿FHU RI 0LFUR%LRPH 7KHUDSHXWLFVa company that is
currently developing

tract. “If you look
at people with
Type 2 diabetes, for
example,” he said, “they
have a lack of organisms
WKDW IHUPHQW FDUERK\GUDWH ¿EHUV´
Why do people develop dysbiosis?
While there may be a multitude of
factors, two of the most important
underlying reasons are antibiotic use
and diet. When you take an antibiotic
for an infection, it helps to eliminate
pathogens, and in some cases, may
even be life-saving. Yet the very thing
that helps you can cause damage,
because the antibiotic also kills offother non-harmful microbes, and
alters microbiome activity, including
the function of the digestive system
and the immune system. Recent
research performed at the University of
Amsterdam suggested that while these
side effects of antibiotic use are short
lived in the microbiome of some
areas, such as in the mouth,
they can last for months
– even years – in the gut,
leaving you open to a host
of problems. As for diet, our modern
Western diet doesn’t
promote microbiome
diversity, which is the
ideal condition for human
health, said Dr. Heiman.
“Years ago, we used to eat
virtually hundreds of plant
species, plants that were not treated
with pesticides,” he added, “and today,
the typical diet includes only 12 plant
species, many of them treated with
pesticides.” The more plants you eat the more
diverse your microbiome, explained Dr.
Heiman. And when plants are untreated
with pesticides, they develop their own
defense system of healthy microbes
that can help to fend off those bugs
and diseases that plague a plant. When
you eat a plant that has those healthy
microbes, you diversify your own
microbiome.
While it is too early and probably
too simplistic to suggest that complex
diseases like diabetes are caused solelyby dysbiosis, said Dr. Heiman, it

factor in many diseases and
conditions, including arthritis,
DOOHUJLHV DVWKPD LQÀDPPDWRU\
bowel disease, cancers, autism,
and obesity, to name just a few.
The potential for
microbial manipulation
to treat dysbiosis is
best illustrated by the
development of a successful

disease that is caused by the disruption
of normal healthy bacteria in the colon
(often following the use of antibiotics)
with fecal microbiota transplants (FMT).
A FMT involves delivering a slurry of
fecal matter (strained and mixed with
saline) from healthy persons through
an enema, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy,
or endoscopy for the purpose of
reestablishing a healthy and diversemicrobiome that will overpower the

If the vast majority of microbes that

mean that you should stop doing the
things you do to protect yourself from

Maybe to some extent, say experts.
Research has suggested that increased
levels of hygiene over the past century
(such as using antimicrobial soaps and
FOHDQHUV RU NHHSLQJ RXU KRPHV DLUWLJKW

and poorer health. It’s still important,
though, to protect yourself – and
others – against harmful germs by hand

clean. But avoid antibacterial soaps,
hygiene products, and environmental
cleaners, because they can kill off
healthy microbes – not to mention
promote antibiotic resistant strains of

People have been cleansing for thousands of years because
of the physical and mental benefits you experience.
Body cleanses work to remove toxins from our digestive
system. A big benefit from a cleanse is the natural
energy you’ll feel. Your skin looks better, you feel
leaner and when you feel good on the inside, the
happier you are.
Deep body cleanses can help to lower your
accumulation of toxins. Everyone, no matter how
clean a life you lead, will accumulate toxins, and
over time this accumulation can overload our
detoxification system and keep our body from
running as efficiently as it should. An overload of
toxins may also be a major cause of many diseas-
es. As part of a deep body cleanse, Cleanse &
Lean can be taken with L-Tox, ADRX, Essential
Omega, L-Glutamine, Vit-Acell, turmeric, red clover
and Max Green Synergy. These products taken togeth-
er will help cleanse your liver, colon, kidneys, lymphatic
system, skin, blood and lungs.

The Woman BehindThe Killer ShouldersClaudia Virgil, 28, won a Max Sports & Fitness
cover model search at the inaugural FitPosium
hosted by James Patrick Photography in
October 2015. She resides in Phoenix, AZ with
her loving husband, Jake, and their two red-
nose pit bulls, Titus and Tatum. Here's a little
bit more about who she is directly from her:
Growing up all through my high school years
I never had weight issues. I lived life without
any concern of my physical appearance. It wasnot until I reached my sophomore year in high
school that my weight started to creep up. Over
the course of two years, I gained nearly 10
pounds. I started to become self-conscious; my
clothes were not fitting as they were intended. I
knew I needed to shed some body fat but I had
no idea how to go about it.
My only thoughts were to reduce my daily
caloric intake. Little did I know I was about
to embark on a downward spiral of various
eating disorders for the next five years. I began
jumping around from fast weight-loss remedies
to low-carb diets, extreme cleanses, food

restricting, bingeing, and purging. I developed
anxiety, depression, anger, jealousy, and
self-hatred. I hated who I became. I thought I
would forever live life in a constant battle with
my weight. I felt like there was no escape, but I
knew that I needed to change my life.
After countless diets and years of starving
myself, it was time to put an end to that vicious
cycle. I made a promise to myself on July 14,
2010 that I would do anything possible to
overcome my old habits. Now, over five years
later of consistent training and proper nutrition, I
am a completely new person. After my second year of training I decided to
take on the challenge of competing in my first
NPC Bikini Competition. Taking home the 1st
place trophy motivated me to continue. I entered
three more shows, placing 1st, 2nd, and 5th.
Along my journey, I have had many
accomplishments and have overcome many
obstacles. My greatest joy now is being able
to help others through their journeys and
experiencing their changes with them! I have
no words for the feeling I get helping my clients
transform their lives, become stronger, and gain
confidence.MS&F

IT'S SO EASY to get caught in a rut.
As routine oriented as humans are,
we sometimes find ourselves going to
the gym, day in and day out, ultimately
leading us to feel bored, tired, and inthe worst cases, like quitting.
This workout is designed to provide
you with a simple way to get out and
enjoy the weather and break it up from
the monotony of the gym. Since these
are body weight movements, it's not
recommended to replace more than
1-2 days per week with these workouts.
Give this workout a try in this order for
a quick, high-intensity cardio burn that
not only recruits some new muscle
fibers, but burns up some of thatsubcutaneous fat as well!
Now you've got it! A quick cardio variation that gets you outside!
It doesn't look like much, but it's a great way to spice it up, break out
of your rut, and get the most out of your workout!MS&F

FITSPIRATION
IN APRIL OF 2012, Ashley Azevedo was
involved in a car accident that left her with
bulging discs along her spine and a post
concussion syndrome. However, the biggest hitshe suffered is that she was told she could not
lift heavy or run again. She began an arduous
yearlong series of treatments.
“The effect of the accident made me
different as a person and I had a hard
time coping,” Azevedo said. “Once I
was released from treatment I became
determined to get myself back mentally
and physically. I knew if I could get
myself going physically, everything
would change.”
Azevedo continued her rehabilitation
on her own, working to get back into the
gym and running.
Change did come, albeit gradually. “It was
a slow process,” Azevedo said, “but I came
back with a completely new mind-set. I was
just so grateful for my mobility.”
She competed in her first fitness
competition in April 2014 to celebrate
how far she had come in two years.
Azevedo has successfully been able
to build herself back up, yet states she
learned a far greater lesson: that “fitness
is really more about how you feel and
less about how you look.”MS&F
