When I met Sophia, she was in her mid-50s and wanted to lose at least 40 pounds. She also had high blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides (which had been treated with medications for many years), and numerous digestive system symptoms (gas, bloating, heartburn, and constipation). She had tried numerous diet programs, sometimes lost some weight, but always gained it back. She was discouraged and wanted to get off her drugs.
Gentle Whole Body Vibration (WBV), plus a targeted diet and supplements to address a gut flora imbalance combined to help Sophia lose 40 pounds in 6 months and to keep that weight off for years afterwards. Also, her blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides all dropped dramatically. By the end of that first 6 months, she was off all her heart meds and had normal numbers for all three measures.
WBV does have several effects that help you lose weight, such as increasing metabolism, lowering cortisol, an antidepressant effect, and increasing energy levels. A study with mice, reported in the New York Times in 2007, showed dramatic evidence of WBV’s potential to aid in weight loss (and increase bone density). The mice that vibrated 15 minutes a day for 15 weeks ended up with 27% less fat, (and had corresponding increases in bone density) than the mice that didn’t vibrate.
In Sophia’s case the imbalance of bacteria and yeast in her gut which was causing her digestive problems, was also causing carbohydrates cravings, water retention, and depression – none of which helps you lose weight!! This is a common problem for many people in America these days. This is why you are seeing so many ads on TV for yogurt and other products with probiotics (good bacteria) in them!
It is very important to start slowly with vibration, though, and go gently. Gut flora imbalances can worsen when the body is stressed, and too much vibration too soon is stressful for the body. Vibration affects every part of your body, and has much more powerful effects than you might think just standing on a vibrating plate. It feels like a massage, but it is powerful!!
