Patty Foltz Wins Tufts 10K with Molecular Fitness

Patty Foltz and her husband Tom live in Stowe, VT and travel the New England area to compete in regional running events. This summer, Patty had a phenomenal racing season and placed 1st in the Tufts 10K in her age group (which was also 2nd in the age group below that!). She has set course records in nearly every race this year and is one of the fastest women in her age group (60+) in the country. “MineralConnexin is a huge factor for me in my training and recovery. Since starting on the supplements I have been able to train harder and recover quicker.” Patty said. “This has been a huge improvement for me both mentally and physically as I move into my sixties.” As the racing season ends here in New England, Patty is looking forward to a winter of skiing and relaxing with her husband Tom and their puppy Mojo.

Wendy Zimmer's Molecular Fitness Success

I am 47 years old and ever since I have been on the Molecular Fitness Program people think I am in my early 30's. In fact, I feel better than I did even in my 20's. MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin are the best ever! I have been able to lose 26 lbs in 7 months and have kept it off for over 5 months now. I have lost those last stubborn pounds that are so hard to lose, improved muscle tone and feel more alert with more energy. Thank you HealthConnexin! - Wendy Zimmer

Kami Semick: Wife, Mom and Endurance Runner

An avid distance runner since college, wife and mother Kami Semick has set her sights on ultra running over the last few years and MineralConnexin is literally right by her side every step of the way. Kami recently raced in the UTMB (Ultra Trail Mont Blanc) race, a 100 mile trail race through three countries and 60,000 feet of altitude change. "I ran 10 hours - 50 miles with about 15,000 feet of elevation gain / descent and recovered very quickly. My legs didn't have the 'depleted' feeling at the end and I was back to running in two days." Throughout her recent training Kami has been using MineralConnexin as a training tool to help keep her going and stay healthy. "Taking the minerals consistently over the last month or so has made my pH levels consistently higher and has helped me complete races and training stronger." says Kami. "My next major challenge is the World Cup 100k in Italy in November." Good luck to Kami!

Reisman Scores Hat Trick with Molecular Fitness

 Howard Reisman is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Molecule of HealthConnexin, Inc. He also plays left wing on the HealthConnexin Molecules ice hockey team in Morrisville, Vermont. "Molecular Fitness has changed my life. I have lost 25 pounds (and kept it off) and at the age of 60 started to play, and developed a deep passion for, ice hockey. My friends think I am nuts. Molecular Fitness has allowed me to play hockey 3-4 times a week and on occasion, for a tournament, 3 games in a single day! I play for the HealthConnexin Molecules and while I am usually the oldest player on the ice by about 25 years and certainly not one of the better skilled, I am able to compete and even score on occasion as I did in the championship game last season. In another game I actually scored a hat trick. While my endurance is great, my recovery is even better – I am never sore the next day. In short, Molecular Fitness has allowed me to turn the clock back and feel like I am 40 years younger! At the age of 63 while the majority of my friends are dealing with one ailment or another for me that feeling is priceless. I know my wife, kids and grandchildren are all proud of my accomplishments at my age but what they really want is for me to be around a long time. Molecular Fitness helps me do that. In order to keep up with me, my wife now also lives the Molecular Fitness Lifestyle and it’s done wonders for her as well as our marriage – we just celebtrated our 40th  Anniversary this past August!"

JL Lewis Wins on PGA Tour with Molecular Fitness

I am a professional golfer on the PGA Tour and was experiencing joint pain in my hands, feet, and shoulders. My life, career and overall well-being changed dramatically the day I met Dr. Tanelian and was introduced to his Molecular Fitness Program. I lost 25 pounds, and have easily kept the weight off. My wife lost 15 pounds and she is feeling better than ever. My energy level has increased greatly, and all of my medical tests have improved. I have sinced won twice on the PGA Tour. Thank you, HealthConnexin.

Astounding Bone Density Improvement with Molecular Fitness

At age 54, I was a healthy woman exercising routinely and eating a healthy nutritious diet. Regardless, my physician told me that I had Osteopenia. My bone density T-score at lumbar spine was – 1.42 and it was – 1.25 in my hip. At age 58, I continued with the same exercises and diet and added The Molecular Fitness program and started taking the ConnexinComplete supplements, daily. I retested my bone density 2 years later at age 60 as advised. To my great surprise, the Osteopenia had been reversed! The new bone scan done in the same doctor’s office now showed a bone density T score of +0.1 at the hip and -0.3 in the spine which are both classified as normal, with no increased fracture risk. In fact, these new test results identified my bone density as being significantly better than my age-matched peers and equivalent to that of an average 30-year old woman. I feel great now and not just in my bones!

Molecular Fitness Athletes Earn Spots On Beijing Olympic Team

Congratulations to Molecular Fitness members Shalane Flanagan, Shannon Rowbury and Erin Donohue for qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Team. These women are heading to Beijing in August to compete in the Track & Field events. At the recent Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon Shalane won the 10,000m with a time of 31:34.81 and placed 3rd in the 5,000m event. Shannon won the 1,500m event with a time of 4:05.48 and Erin placed 2nd in the 1,500m with a time of 4:08.20. Watch these ladies perform at the top of their game in August. Good luck to each of you!

One of the many significant advantages of an alkalinizing beverage, such as MineralConnexin, is that it will enhance athletic performance and endurance by helping to deliver more oxygen to all tissues, including muscle while simultaneously helping to conserve energy through enhanced carbon dioxide removal; thereby, leading to a slower breathing rate and less unnecessary expenditure of energy.

Keeping My Connexins OPEN and CONNECTED

When Julie Roick of Stowe, Vermont started on the  Molecular Fitness, it was kind of an “aha” moment for her. "I thought finally somebody got it!  I have five children and my husband Ernie and I run our own business.  My life is demanding.  I used to be exhausted.  Not only am I no longer exhausted, I am more productive and I have abundant energy.  I am forty-one years old and I feel like I am twenty-eight! I want to be around for a long time and taking the preventative measure of keeping my connexins OPEN and CONNECTED is an important step in doing that. By eating well, exercising, trying to reduce stress  and taking MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin supplements, I feel like I am well on my way to taking care of myself and being around for my family.  That's important to me."  

Dr. Tanelian Wows 335 Health Enthusiasts at Molecular Fitness Symposium in Calgary

On June 25^th, 2008 Darrell Tanelian, Ph.D., M.D. led a symposium at the University of Calgary which was put on in association with Dr. Jay Shephard, DC and Shephard Health which deploys the latest combined technologies to help achieve optimal healing results. Shephard Health is a HealthConnexin Provider and recognizes Molecular Fitness as an integral part of the healing combination.

The event was hosted by Ranjit Bawa, a local personal trainer and life coach.  He did a fabulous job of warming the audience up and setting the stage for the evening. He also moderated the questions from the audience very well and kept things on track.  Dr. Tanelian gave an excellent presentation which discussed the Connexin molecule, nutritional deficiencies, performance, and disease prevention.  Alkalinizing snacks and water were available during the break.

The event was attended by 335 interested, serious and motivated health enthusiasts made evident by the fact that virtually all stayed for the entire 2 ½ hour presentation. Afterwards many stayed to ask questions for at least another hour.  When the attendee’s exited they were given a bio-degradable bag of HealthConnexin educational materials including a Molecular Fitness brochure, a Holistic Primary Connexin Article, a pH quick reference card, and an individual pH strip Test Kit.

Andrew Bouchier Qualifies for Boston Marathon with Molecular Fitness

“I met Dr. Tanelian at an ART seminar last spring. The science behind Molecular Fitness made sense so I bought the Empowerment Pack. I decided to follow the Molecular Fitness recommendations and incorporated the MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin supplements into my regimen in preparation for the Hudson-Mohawk Marathon last October. While my running results in 10 km and half-marathons have generally been improving, my marathons had been wildly unpredictable. I train and prepare diligently for all my races but every time I ran a marathon there was a high probability that I would hit a wall - painfully. I had been searching for the missing piece that would enable me to parlay good half- marathon results into good marathon results. Molecular Fitness worked. The lactic acid problems that had plagued most of my marathons were gone. I was able to finish strong and I finally qualified for the Boston Marathon. This spring I'm going to Boston and rest assured Molecular Fitness will be with me as it is now integral to my training program.”

Molecular Fitness Helps A Common Teenage Problem

“Dr. Tanelian, I just wanted to update you on my 15 year old son, who if you remember was suffering with a very troublesome bout of acne. Although we'd tried grain free, sugar free, omega 3 supplemented diets with him there seemed to be no let up in his pimples. You mentioned that alkalizing the system would probably help. Within 2 days of being on the Molecular Fitness program his face started to settle down. It's now been 3 weeks and he hasn't had even the beginning of another volcano and his face is getting better every day. Needless to say he and his girlfriend are very relieved.”

Molecular Fitness Helps Tamar Gamliel, DC Reach Personal Marathon Record

Tamar Gamliel, an ART certified chiropractor at Truth Fitness and Health in Palos Verdes, California, is very excited about the Molecular Fitness program, "I really believe Molecular Fitness made the difference in my training for the 2007 New York City marathon. I ran the LA marathon in 2004 with a finishing time of 3:28.  I ran two more marathons after LA, training hard and seeking improvement only to shave two minutes off my 3:28 time. Until I ran NY.  I trained the same way I had always trained, however, three months before the NY marathon I started the Molecular Fitness program. At first, my pH was a 5.5. After changing to an alkalinizing diet and supplementing with MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin, my pH increased and stayed at 7.5 consistently. As a result, I found that I was able to bounce back after a hard workout and I was more energized instead of being zapped from my high mileage. I ran NY in 3:18, a personal record!! And I recovered in half the time it took in the past.  Now I can set my sights on the next race!"

Olympic Hopeful Jen Toomey Running on Molecular Fitness

I have been on the side lines for basically two years with injury after injury and have been searching for some missing piece that has kept me out of commission. As a professional athlete, I do my best to take care of all the little things that I can: I monitor everything I eat, I get regular massage, see a chiropractor every other week, have a trainer, have been to the Olympic Training Centers to see nutritionists and “experts” to solve this mystery. Still, these weird, injuries and illnesses kept occurring.
About one month ago, I contacted Dr. Tanelian. He suggested that I start monitoring my pH right away. My first reading was 5.0. The first couple of days, I tried to just monitor my pH without changing anything else…still 5.0-5.5. Dr. Tanelian sent me the MineralConnexin supplements and pointed me to the PRAL guide. Within about a week, I was able to get my pH into the 7.0 range. By the 3rd week, I saw a major change in my performances on the track. I admit, if someone asked if I felt much better, I would probably say no. As a competitive runner, I’m always pushing that edge, so I typically don’t feel good…but in training and workouts, I have started hitting and surpassing times I haven’t seen in years. I am recovering faster, both in the workouts and between workout days. I just noticed this morning, that a foot injury that has been plaguing me for 2 years, doesn’t hurt anymore. Dr. Tanelian lets the numbers speak and so far, I like what they are saying. I am looking forward to seeing what happens as I continue on the program. I suspect that some good performances are on the way. Stay tuned…
 

Galite Shafer Experiences Optimal Health

As the Chief Marketing Molecule for HealthConnexin, I started living The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle almost two years ago, as soon as we received our first batches of MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin.  In addition to taking the supplements almost every day, I followed Dr. Tanelian’s alkaline and connexin-enhancing diet, exercised and monitored my results. I got in the habit of taking my pH several times a week to make sure I maintained a pH of 7.5, I liked knowing the acid generated or neutralized by my last meal and it helped me select better food choices (I started eating a lot of spinach). There was no question that on the program I had much more energy and productivity and I was much more mentally focused than ever before.  After a few months I also lost weight, around 7-8 lbs. A few weeks ago, I had a physical, including the Panel 20 blood tests.  It had been a few years since my previous Panel 20 and I was amazed with the results.  My LDL Cholesterol decreased by 31 points, while my HDL stayed high and my Triglycerides came down 33  points.  All my other measurements were in the healthy normal range, it was truly the picture of optimal health!  I am sharing my experience so that the next time you hear me singing the praises of Dr. Tanelian and The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle, you will know that it comes from the heart…a very healthy, connexin-enhanced heart! 

58-Year Old Software Consultant Bill Neumann Races to Better Quality of Life

“I’m a 58-year old software consultant whose hobby is racing road bicycles from March to October in the Mid-Atlantic area. I’ve been using the Molecular Fitness supplements for 8 months and I couldn’t be happier with my results. My pH has gone from an average of 5.5 to a consistent 7.5 throughout the day. I’ve lost the extra fat around my belt-line and lowered my body fat into single digits. My athletic recovery during rides and between rides has noticeably improved. My sleep quality has also improved and my entire quality of life is just plain better. I’ve lost my craving for sweets and my body just enjoys healthy food more than it ever has. Congratulations to Dr. Tanelian and Molecular Fitness!” 

Patty and Tom Foltz See Improved Recovery and Performance In Running, Weight Training and Golf

“My wife Patty and I started on the mineral and multivitamin supplements in May 2006.  Initially, we were both skeptical of the benefits, but felt it was worth a trial, primarily because of the potential benefit of quicker recoveries from hard workouts. We both run competitively, lift weights, play a hilly golf course, plus I train in karate,” explains Tom.  “Since we are both in our late 50s, we don’t recover from hard workouts like we did when we were younger. Within a couple of months on the program, we both saw an improvement in recovery time.  I also experienced better health.  I have a family history of gout and hypertension, and both improved with the MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin supplements.  The other pleasant surprise is that neither of us has had a cold in a year and a half, which again allows us to train harder.  With less than a year to go for a new age group (the 60s), we’re optimistic that Molecular Fitness will continue to be a great training aid in keeping us competitive.”

Molecular Fitness Adds Muscle to Dr. Durlan Castro's Training

Dr. Durlan Castro, an Active Release Techniques(ART) provider and bodybuilder, wrote to tell us how amazing he feels on the Molecular Fitness progarm.  A month before a big bodybuilding show he said "usually by now I'm running out of steam and feeling very tired, but since starting the program I'm feeling an endless supply of energy and finding it easier to lose fat.  My energy and focus during my workout is like I've never felt before!  Taking MineralConnexin and MultiConnexin is the only thing I'm doing different so I know they are working". Thanks for sharing your feedback Durlan!

 

Bob Reid Shapes up with Molecular Fitness

Bob Reid, the Executive Director of the J. F Maddox Foundation in New Mexico, has been living The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle for more than a year and has experienced amazing results.  “ Before starting the program I struggled to ride my bicycle 30 miles, but now I ride up to 150 miles without difficulty”, says Bob.  (In the photo, center amidst his cycling fans).  Bob’s regular monitoring shows how far he’s come. His pH is consistently at 7.5, a vast improvement from his 5.0 baseline, his blood pressure is about 125/80, down from around 148/90 and his body fat improved from 18% to 13%.  Bob is happy to share that his energy is way up, he is almost never sick and to top it off  “I cycle with others 20 years younger”.  We want to know, where can we get “Bob” shorts??

Molecular Fitness Partners with ART

We are proud to announce that The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle has been selected by Dr. Mike Leahy (in the photo Dr. Leahy, right and Dr. Tanelian, left) as the exclusive nutritional and wellness program to complement Active Release Techniques. ART is a patented soft tissue massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. ART was developed by Dr. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP who has been teaching and certifying more than 6000 healthcare providers worldwide for the last 18 years.

Molecular Fitness was selected because injury and wound healing involve complex coordination of molecular and cellular processes such as cellular regeneration, inflammation and gene regulation. These processes involve cellular communication and therefore involve proper connexin molecule function. According to Dr. Leahy “ART providers are in the business of helping people do the impossible.  Conditions that people resign themselves to living with can now be treated and resolved.  The same goes for Molecular Fitness.  Dr. Tanelian has designed a program that anyone can do easily.  It is a program that will help millions of people lead a healthier life.”

High Fives from Pro Basketball Player Dana Martin

The Vermont Frost Heaves, the 2007 American Basketball Champions, partnered with us to improve the health and athletic performance of their players.  Many of the team players, coach Will Voight and team owner, Alex Wolf started the Molecular Fitness program earlier in the year and have experienced benefits such as higher energy and better recovery. Pro basketball player Dana Martin is thrilled with the results, “I have been on the Molecular Fitness program now for months and I love it. I really can feel the difference. My blood pressure has gone down, my pH is better, and physically and mentally I feel more acute. My muscles are not sore as often. I am writing to tell you that I think that it is great and wish that I had this my whole career.”
