TempusClinic, in Los Gatos California, announced that the results of a 6-month study on the effects of its Metabolic-Hormonal Transformation (MHT) Program shows that participants in the TempusClinic personalized fitness and nutrition program showed a 90% reduction in their risks of heart disease, without any medications.
Increased vitality and higher sex and growth hormonal levels were additional positive results. Participants were average people who had no history of significant athletic activity, and who had previously followed a self-directed low-fat, low-cholesterol diet.
Dr. Mike Nichols, founder and director of TempusClinic, presented the findings at the American College of Sports Medicine Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. 'The results are outstanding,' said Dr. Nichols. 'Participants reduced their risk factors for future cardiac events by 90%.
'The improvements we've witnessed could not be achieved with any combination of pharmaceuticals used to treat diabetes, cholesterol or hypertension.
'Our program also delivered increased vitality and higher sex and growth hormonal levels, something the common pharmaceuticals degrade. The study shows that people do have an option to pharmaceuticals: They can take the pills and suffer the side effects and drug interactions, or they can become truly healthy in a natural way.'
TempusClinic's MHT program consists of a supervised fitness program and nutrition regimen tailored to the individual participant. Study participants consisted of 25 sedentary male and female subjects, with no prior history of diabetes or coronary artery disease.
They undertook a comprehensive physical examination and were subjected to extensive biometric and biochemical testing prior to embarking on the supervised nutrition and exercise intervention.
The subjects' food diaries were monitored to determine adherence to the nutritional guidelines of the program, which includes starch- and sugar-free meals at 3-hour intervals. The subjects trained with a TempusClinic certified fitness expert three times a week.
Heart rate monitors were used to verify that training intensity matched the previously determined target heart rates prescribed on the basis of baseline exercise stress testing.
At the end of six months, the biometric and biochemical markers of the study subjects were reassessed. The following average improvements were noted: a decrease in insulin levels by 32% and in triglycerides by 31%; the hs-CRP, a marker of inflammation associated with arteriosclerosis, decreased by 31%.
In addition, an increase in HDL-2b levels by 28% - high levels of HDL-2b correlate with decreased incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and increased longevity; and a decrease in LDL IIIa and IIIb by 24%.
Presence of elevated percentage of LDL IIIa + IIIb LDL-C particles is associated with an increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Finally, improvements in Anaerobic Threshold (AT) (by 37%) and VO2max (by 17%) - A number of studies have stressed the importance of determining peak exercise capacity in assessing cardiovascular risk and longevity. Various surrogates of AT and VO2max were used in these studies, including METS and percentage of maximum predicted heart rate achieved at peak exercise.
The TempusClinic study demonstrates that a simple, supervised program of nutrition counseling and exercise training can result in significant benefits, and offers many advantages over the potential side effects offered by medications.
Said Jim Sorden, one of the TempusClinic study participants, 'The MHT program results greatly surpassed my expectations. I'd thought that the only way to see improvements like these were by taking drugs.
'I feel so much more energetic, and I like knowing that my good health is within my control, rather than in the control of my pharmacist. I feel, dare I say, empowered.'
TempusClinic also offers a 21-week program guaranteed to reverse adult onset diabetes (type 2 diabetes), from which more than 16 million Americans suffer. TempusClinic is the only clinic in the world to make this guarantee.
