Dear John,
Throughout the spring, the Midwest has been
flooded with record rainfall. The US Wellness
Meats headquarters in Lewis County, Missouri,
received more than 5 inches of rain this week
alone, flooding the banks of creeks, streams,
and rivers. Too often, when the flood water
recedes, it takes with it soil and other
matter, disrupting the delicate ecological
balance of both the land and the water.
Erosion, the movement of soil via water or
wind, strips land of vital nutrients and
pollutes water sources at the same time.
Although we have little control over the
flooding, we can all do our part to help
prevent erosion:
- plant grass, vegetative ground cover,
trees, or shrubs on shores, banks, and
sloping land
- cover bare land with straw or mulch
- utilize drainage structures to collect
excess runoff
- follow storm water management rules
appropriate to your area when disturbing soil
for construction, landscaping, or other
projects
- support grassland farmers by choosing grass-fed
beef
Eating grass-fed beef promotes the
conservation of our precious natural
resources and prevents erosion. Grass is a
dense mat of vegetation, providing a more
secure ground cover than a field of crops,
which is bare a portion of the year and is
often tilled, creating the potential for
erosion and runoff. Proper grazing management
of grass-fed cattle is beneficial to the soil
and can help grass grow and spread. Cattle
act as natural re-seeders and fertilizers for
soil. In addition to nourishing the soil,
pasture also provides a healthy environment
for a variety of native plants and wildlife.
The farm families of US Wellness Meats are
proud of their commitment to enhance the
nutrition of families and protect delicate
ecosystem balance by providing quality grass-fed
beef.
Dad's Day is just around the corner. Great
food selections are a true gift of love that
not only expresses appreciation for Dad's
many virtues but will nourish family and
friends simultaneously with the great tasting
products offered by U.S. Wellness Meats.
Don't forget the cards and letters!
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on
behalf
of the
farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
Hi Dr. Serrano,
I've been eating grass-fed meats, raw dairy,
high omega-3 eggs from a local farmer, and
organic produce for almost 4 years now. I am
a 46-year old woman who is covered with
cellulite from my shoulders to my knees and
need to loose approximately 20 pounds. I'm
5'8", and currently weigh 176 Lbs. and take no
meds. I don't eat tons of grains or fruits.
Mostly sprouted bread and one chocolate chip
cookie after dinner. I eat more eggs, raw
cheese and beef or chicken than anything
else. Protein and fat keep my blood sugar
balanced so that's what I eat.
Until just recently, I spent 9 years caring
for my invalid mom who had lots of serious
health issues, so sleep and stress were huge
issues for me. Now, I have a chance to be
more physically active with way less stress
and better sleep. I'm doing 1/2 hour yoga
most days, 45-minute spinning video several
days a week, some surfing and leisurely bike
riding.
Before I started on grass-fed foods, I had
lost 50 pounds quite rapidly due to
Wellbutrin & Weight-Watchers. My hair was
falling out and my nails breaking, so even
though I was eating and felt full, obviously
my body was starving. I figured some of the
weight I gained was due to my body hoarding
in case of another "famine" but I thought
after 4 years of eating plenty of healthy
foods, it might have recovered by now.
How active do I need to be to get this
cellulite off and get back to a decent
weight? Do I need to something different with
my meals? I usually eat 3 meals with snacks.
I really appreciate any help you can give
me!!! I don't want to waste time doing all
the "wrong" things. Life's too short.
Thanks in Advance,
K.W.

Dear K.W.
I want to wish you the best, because I am
going through the same situation and I know
how hard it is to take care of a parent. You
are an incredible person, and I hope I get to
meet you personally some day.
Taking
care of your mom puts your life on hold and
it is extremely difficult to keep up with
your own health.
I also want to say
congratulations on your weight loss,
impressive, and a great job you must
continue. I don't have enough data to give
you an exercise program, and by the number of
questions John should throw a conference in
organic eating, exercise and health and I
will be the first one at the conference.
K.W., you are 46 years old and based on what
you are telling me you were obese in the past
and having a very stressful life due to your
mom, causing the problems you are having now.
You are going to think that I am crazy but
the best way to lose your weight, is not
only eating right but also lifting weights
and doing HIIT. HIIT is high intensity
interval training but again I don't have
enough information to make any
recommendations right now so I am going to
give you some guidelines to help you lose
more weight, and I am going to give you two
phone numbers of trainers that can create
lifting programs for a person like you.
K. W., you are going to have a long life,
because you are an incredible person with a
humongous drive. I am also assuming because
you stated you surf and spin that you are in
descent shape and i am going to base those
guidelines on that:
1-Before you start your exercise program,
please get your blood checked for Thyroid
deficiency, including TSH, T4, T3, insulin,
lipid screen, cbc, DHEA, hormones, vitamin D,
B12 and folate, zinc and selenium, Hgb1Ac,
and lead and mercury, due to your
symptoms.
2-start lifting ( I highly recommend Sam
Visnic at (310) 349-6403 in California (Sam
can order all your blood test) or call John
Thoma (614) 571-5200 or Mark Harmon (419)
230-9853). I have given different numbers
due to regions in the USA
3-use your spinning to do HIIT- I will do it
this way right now, 15 seconds full go( as
fast as you can) and 30 seconds leisure
(enough to catch your breath) and the 15
seconds should add to a total of 12 minutes
initially, start slow and then increase the
intervals
4-rotate fruits, never fruit juices
5-stay with a low carb diet but start loading
with a carbo load day or a fat load, if John
wants I, will write an article about this subject
6-never consume the same amount of calories,
see above, because the body gets used to
it.
7-rotate proteins also
8-if supplementing use enzymes, fish oils,
and amino acids
9- no cheeses for now; unless, using a fat
loading day
10-no sweets
11-water, no pop, juices or teas unless
unsweetened.
Thank you and good luck.
Dr.
Serrano
