The Curves program has been extensively studied at the Exercise and Sports Nutrition Laboratory at Texas A&M University.
In a recent study, Curves Complete was shown to deliver superior results to other leading diet programs. Curves Complete participants lost more than twice the fat compared to other leading diet programs. Over a 16-week period, Curves Complete participants lost 14.1 pounds of fat while women following the leading diet program lost only 6.4 pounds. Long-term success lies in protecting lean muscles mass, which can help you maintain or increase your metabolic rate.
During the 16-week study, Curves Complete participants gained 2.9 pounds of lean muscle. Participants on the other plan actually lost 5.5 pounds of muscle. There is no upper range of intensity that can be elicited by using the Curves machines. The harder Curves members work, the higher the intensity achieved.

Q: “Why would I come for reflexology rather than having my husband rub my feet?”
Suzy G. – Transcona
A: “Having someone rub your feet can feel really good. Having someone who knows WHERE and HOW to touch your feet … is even better. Let me be specific. A Reflexology Therapist will work on ‘reflex points’ on your feet which correspond to organs, glands and various other parts of your body. In doing this, the therapist helps to balance the energies flowing to these areas, awakening sluggish organs, as well as finding and relieving painful issues; such as lower back pain, headache or even constipation, just to name a few. By the way, your therapist will likely finish off the session by ‘rubbing’ your feet with a refreshing lotion. Be sure to ask if your therapist is a Registered Certified Reflexology Therapist (RCRT) and member of the Reflexology Association of Canada.”

Feeling Dizzy?
Complaints of dizziness are very common. 35% of persons over 40 and 80% of persons over 65 have experienced some amount of dizziness.
The most common single cause of dizziness is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. As the name implies, this is a room spinning feeling that is intermittent, related to your head position and is not a progressive disease process. What happens is that crystals from one part of the inner ear move to another part of the inner ear and press on cells that send the message to the brain that your head is moving, when in fact it is not. No medication will help this, BUT there is a physical treatment technique that can be very effective in providing quick relief of the symptoms.
So I recommend that if you experience vertigo, see your Doctor to confirm there is no serious cause, and then do not settle for the “it’s part of aging, I just have to put up with it” approach. A consult with a physiotherapist with experience treating “dizzy people” may be very helpful.

Back Problems?
If your back is bothering you consistently, at work, at home in recreation…you may be moving wrong, or just not moving enough!
Four great strategies to ‘get up, and get moving’ are:
- Do easy stretches at work; Get out of your chair, do some simple lunges in place; keeping the back straight and the movement always comfortable.
- Try a yoga or Pilate’s class; get educated as to what you can do on your own. Learn the proper technique as to prevent injury and strengthen your core.
- Lastly, dust off those weights, grab some walking/ski poles and get out in the snow for a hike; the uneven ground will challenge you and get you moving!

Foot Reflexology
Foot reflexology is a 5000-year-old form of massage that aids in the removal of toxins, pain and illness from the body through various points in the feet, hands, ears and eyes. For thousands of years, in several cultures around the world, reflexology has been looked at as a first line of defense for almost anything from general stress relief to back pain, sciatic issues, injuries, stroke effects, Cerebral Palsy, mood swings, blood pressure problems, blood sugar regulating, and many others. Through the use of a deep-tissue massage technique, one can also attain, from a cellular level, better overall strength and health as a whole. Reflexology not only benefits you emotionally, physically, mentally but spiritually as well.

Suicidal thoughts…to New Life!
Several years ago, I realized I hit bottom. That moment was a wake-up call and I got help! I was feeling disrespected in every aspect of my life and it took me a while to figure it out. Over time, I have discovered that I had been paying a heavy price for being “too nice!” Dr. Phil refers to this as “Going along to get along”. Beyond getting psychiatric care, I found myself in a yoga class with a wonderful instructor.
Thanks to Kim Meades, I was introduced to Huna Kane Massage. Huna Kane loosely translates from Hawaiian into ‘inner knowing of the higher self’. As I became friends with myself and honoured my thoughts and feelings, I got stronger and stronger. I opened my own Huna Kane practice and now help others who had been lost on the ‘journey of self’. Since 1999, I have also added hypnotherapy and psychosomatic (body-mind) therapy to my list of offerings. The truth is, my greatest problems have transformed me into the person I am today – healthy, happy, and, vibrantly alive.

Intuitive Abilities
Do you have a history of Anxiety? Have you had any unusual Spiritual or Religious experiences?
Do you have a family history of Psychic Phenomena? Do you have any history of Brain Trauma?
According to Dr. Daniel G. Amen, one of the foremost leaders in brain imaging, of the Amen Clinics in the US, in their research, they have observed that there are certain parts of the brain that are associated with these symptoms, especially psychic phenomena and if you are able to answer YES to three or more of the questions, there is a high likelihood that you have strong intuitive abilities. Being so connected to Spirit can offer great peace once you learn how to manage and understand these abilities. Consider seeking out experts and like-minded individuals to help you explore your natural gifts.
