FROM THE ARMY
TO THE STAGE:
MY FITNESS
JOURNEY
My journey with ftness began in the U.S.
Army. As an enlisted female soldier, I had
something to prove. In basic training, I
always pushed myself and never gave up.
I was selected to be the one to represent
the females of my platoon in competitions
against the others. While learning Spanish at
the Defense Language Institute, I carried on
in usual fashion.
During a typical afternoon of 1st Sergeant
physical training, I was carrying a 5 gallon
jug full of water and pulling a fellow soldier
up a hill because we soldiers never leave a
fallen comrade. After what felt like a mile
I began experiencing abdominal pain and
I have been unable to run ever since. I was
later honorably discharged from the Army as
a result and immediately pursued my dream
of becoming an attorney.
In the two years it took to obtain my
Bachelors degree I struggled to fnd a
workout regimen that worked with my
ailment. Ten law school inficted upon
me a kind of stress I had never imagined
possible. As I put in 16 hour days of class,
studying, and work at three jobs, quick
and dirty became my preferred method of
nutrition.
It didnt take long to feel sick and
depressed. Law school compromised my
relationships, health and sense of well-being.
In January 2012, I made it my New Years
resolution to improve my mind, body and
soul. Competing at a bodybuilding show
would be the perfect symbol of an improved
body. I enlisted the aid of a coach and
much to my surprise was informed that I
was better suited to compete in the fgure
division.
When I started training to be a fgure
competitor I was the defnition of skinny;
absolutely undefned in every way. In order
to put on size I lifted very heavy weights,
ate upwards of 3,400 calories of clean food
daily, and utilized Max Muscle supplements
such as BCAAs, Glutamine and MaxPro.
Within a matter of six months of hard work,
my body transformed and I looked like a
completely diferent person. No longer could
anybody justifably call me skinny. Finally I
knew what it felt like to be a curvy woman.
From day one on my path to becoming
a fgure competitor, I have used Max
Muscle products to improve my physique.
Trough proper training, nutrition and
supplementation, I placed 1st at my frst
fgure competition. In addition, one week
after graduating law school, I competed
at my 2nd fgure competition and placed
3rd in my class. Competing in two fgure
competitions while in law school, hands
down, was the most challenging experience
of my life. However, my experience has
taught me that I can and will do anything
I set my mind to. With that belief in mind,
I am in the process of starting up my own
law frm, conducting personal training part-
time, and representing Max Muscle Eugene,
Oregon.

REACHING OUT A
HELPING HAND TO
KIDS IN NEED
In Bend, Oregon, there is an organization
called Oregon Youth Challenge. It is much like
a military school for at risk youth on the verge
of dropping out of high school or even worse,
being locked up in Juvenile Detention centers.
The OYC is a no non-sense, all business run
schooling system for these kids. They all wear
military fatigues, everything is 'Sir, Yes Sir" and
they are taught to be polite and respectful.
They are treated as if they were in boot camp.
And that is what these kids need and want:
structure!
Every six months, OYC get new recruits
from all over the state of Oregon and we are
invited to come out and talk with them about
what we do and what are some of the paths
these kids can take when preparing to enter
back into normal civilian life. Many of the kids
get really excited when we come out because
we load them up with goodies and they all
love the magazines! Many of them take a few
different ones because they say it motivates
them to not only get better physically, but
mentally!
Tony (Bend Max Muscle manager) and I
look forward to spending the day with these
kids because it forces us to realize that not

a way for us to help people in areas that you
normally do not get to enter.
Many of these kids have just been brought
up in bad circumstances and seem to be in
survival mode. Because of that, it has forced
them to make decisions that may have not
been the best for them, hence why they
end up at the Oregon Youth Challenge. It is
humbling for us to meet these kids and be told
that they are happy to see us. It just reminds
me that what we do is worth more than just
supplements!
I would highly recommend other Max

you can have a major impact on these kids.

I am a huge fan of Max Muscle
and I want to share my story
about how I gained 15 pounds
by using Max Muscle's protein
powders this year. I'm a really
busy trainer and gymnastics
instructor and was losing too

Most of us might associate ber with
helping our bodies eliminate waste. The
elimination process is very important for
maintaining a healthy body, but dietary
ber does much more than that. Fiber
helps us maintain a healthy weight and
lowers your risk of diabetes and heart
disease.
What is dietary ber?
The best way to describe dietary hber
is that it is simply portions of foods
that do not get absorbed. They pass
through your stomach, intestines
and colon and are eliminated. There
are two types of hber: soluble and
insoluble.
Soluble ber dissolves in water to
form a gel-like material. It can help
lower blood cholesterol and glucose
levels. Soluble hber is found in oats,
peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits,
carrots, barley and phylum.
Insoluble ber promotes the
movement of waste through your
digestive system. It can soften and
swell the stool for better elimination
while cleaning the intestinal walls.
Whole-wheat hour, wheat bran,
nuts, beans and vegetables, such as
caulihower, green beans and potatoes,
are good sources of insoluble hber.
Also, many plant-based foods, such
as oatmeal and beans, contain both
soluble and insoluble hber.
FOREVERYOUNG
High-Fiber Diet Benets
Maintain regular bowel movements. Fiber
will also make the process quicker and
help control constipation.
Help you maintain bowel health. As we
age, it is very important to keep these
internal organs healthy and clean to
minimize the risk of disease.
Lowers cholesterol levels. Soluble hber
found in beans, oats, haxseed and
oat bran may help lower total blood
cholesterol levels by lowering low-
density lipoprotein ("bad") cholesterol
levels. Studies have shown that hber
may have other heart-health benehts,
such as reducing blood pressure and
inhammation.
Helps control blood sugar levels. In people
with diabetes, soluble hber can slow the
absorption of sugar and help improve
blood sugar levels. !nsoluble hber may
also reduce the risk of developing type 2
diabetes.
Helps maintain a healthy weight. High-
hber foods generally require more
chewing and can literally trick your body
into thinking it is eating more food. Also
the bulk volume of these foods will hll
you up faster.
How much ber do you need?
The Mayo Clinic advises the following
amounts: Nen ages 50 or younger need
38 grams and men 51 and older need 30
grams a day. Women ages 50 or younger
need 25 grams and women 51 and older
need 21 grams a day.
Here are some good ways to easily
add more hber to your diet:
Whole-grain products
Fruits
Vegetables
Beans, peas and other legumes
Nuts and seeds
Psyllium husks are also a great way
to add insoluble hber to your diet. Nax
Muscle offers an awesome organic
psyllium product that will kick-start your
cleansing process.
One thing for sure is we can all use
more fruits and vegetables in our diet,
and if we do that, we will dramatically
boost our natural intake of hber. You
can also stop by your local Nax Nuscle
store for a nutritional consultation and
they can design you a healthy diet plan
that will include high hber. Good luck!

What is the Driving Force
Behind Video Game Addiction?
Worried about your partners hard core gaming? You should be, if they are playing games to escape
from daily life, to gain rewards or to socialize with other people, say researchers from the University of
Missouri, who studied individual motives that contribute to unhealthy game play.
The researchers found that problematic video game use had much more to do with a persons
reasons for playing games than with actual time spent playing. People who play games to avoid
problems or to pretend to be other people are most at risk for addictive gaming. And the more they
play, the more problems it causes in their lives.
Those who play to socialize with others are
also at risk, such as in games like World of
Warcraft, where players join teams or guilds.
An obligation to join teammates on Saturday
night or be cut from the team can interfere
with real life obligations, such as spending time
with the family.
A third motive for playing that can lead to
addictive gaming? Those who are fueled by
getting to the next level or collecting all of
the in-game items, such as with games like
Farmville or Diablo. The researchers hope that
understanding the motives that contribute to
unhealthy adult game play can help counselors
to identify and treat those who are addicted to
video games.

Caffeine
Consumption
and Brain
Development
When you were a kid, did your
mom forbid you to drink coffee for
fear your brain would be damaged?
She may have been right, according
to a study supported by the Swiss
National Science Foundation.
According to the researchers,
caffeine, found in sodas and energy
drinks as well as coffee beverages
freely consumed by many children
and young adults interfere with the
deep sleep needed during puberty for
brain development and maturation.
While the study was done on rats,
and rat brains differ from human
brains, there are enough parallels
between rodent and human
development for the research to
raise concern about caffeines effect
on children. Until further research
is done, it may be wise to limit
your childs intake of caffeinated
beverages.
Should Tea Rituals
Be Your 'Cup of Tea?'
The English are well known for their fondness for tea. In fact, the average British
citizen takes in about six or more cups of tea each day. A lesser known fact is that the
afternoon tea ritual may be a healthy habit! A new Australian study showed that the
intake of three or more cups of black tea each day was associated with a small but
signicant drop in blood pressure.
Study participants in the University of Western Australia in Perth research were
divided into two groups: one drinking three cups of black tea daily, and the second
group drinking the same amount of a non-tea caffeinated beverage. At the end of the
six-month study, the tea-drinkers had an average drop in systolic blood pressure (the
top number) of two to three points, and a drop of about two points in diastolic blood
pressure (the bottom number).
While this is seemingly a minor change in blood pressure reading, the researchers
said that even this small drop in blood pressure readings among the general population
would be associated with a 10 percent reduction in the prevalence of hypertension and
a 7-10 percent reduction in the risk for heart disease and stroke.

HEALTHMATTERS By Linda Hepler, BSN, RN
Almost everyone has
had a headache from time
to time. And for most
people, an occasional
headache doesnt interfere
with life too much. But
if youre experiencing
headaches more days than
not, and especially if your
headaches are interfering
with work or play, its time
to stop suffering and start
taking action so you
can live most of your days
headache-free.
Chronic daily headaches,
according to Susan
Hutchinson, MD, Director
of Orange County Migraine
and Headache Center
in Irvine, California, are
dehned by their frequency.
Three to hve percent of
adults experience chronic
headaches, said Dr.
Hutchinson. This means
that they have a headache
15 or more days a month
for 3 or more months in
duration.
While there are many
types of headaches,
she added, the two
most common primary
headaches, or headaches
that are not caused by an
underlying condition like
an infection or a tumor,
are tension headaches and
migraine headaches. While
both cause pain, they have
different characteristics.
A tension headache
is universal, said Dr.
Hutchinson. It causes
mild to moderate pain
that may feel like pressure
or tightening around
your head. But it doesnt
interfere with your ability to
get to the gym.
Migraines, on the other
hand, she said, are
less common but more
debilitating - you can't
work out when you have a
migraine.
A migraine headache is
usually one-sided rather
than an all over headache
like a tension headache,
said Dana S. Simpler, MD,
an internist in private
practice in the Baltimore,
Maryland area for 26 years.
Its often over one or the
other eye, she explained.
Sometimes the pain is
preceded by an `aura,' or a
visual disturbance, such as
a light hashing in front of
your eyes, or a dark spot
that interferes with vision.
Although not always
true, she added, a
migraine headache is often
associated with nausea,
light and sound sensitivity.
While migraines affect both
men and women, they are
more prevalent among
women than among men.
While both migraines
and tension headaches
can become chronic,
chronic migraines are more
common than chronic
tension headaches, said
Dr. Hutchinson. And
because it's sometimes
hard to tell which kind of
headache condition youre
experiencing (some people
have a mixture of both
types), its important to
have a headache evaluation

1. Fight depression. Weight training
creates a mental distraction from the
blues. When training, you release the
"feel good" endorphins in the brain, which,
in turn, put you in a good mood.
2. Cut down your cancer risk. Studies
prove that weight training is just as
important in preventing deadly tumors as
staying lean and having a healthy diet. In
fact, by implementing a workout routine,
you are about 40 percent less likely to die
from cancer by having stronger muscles.
3. Protect your heart. Not just
cardiovascular activities keep your heart
strong. The American Heart Association
recommends strength training for
preventing heart disease and maintaining
heart health. Strength training even helps
to improve those with heart conditions.
4. Get better sleep. It has been proven
that weight lifting decreases low self
esteem, anxiety and depression, all of
which can leave you restless at night.
5. Strengthen your bones. Exercise
stimulates the bones by placing them
under stress, which causes them to build
density. Regardless of your age, this can

Max Nitro 2 was designed to provide two levels of support for NO
production, the amount of arginine substrate needed for the
production of nitric oxide and support and amplification of the eNOS
enzyme that facilitates the production of nitric oxide. For the
substrate or fuel source to produce NO, we have added a proprietary
blend of three extreme forms of arginine for maximum pharmacoki-
netics. The three multi-source forms include arginine alphaketoglu-
tarate (A-AKG), arginine ketoisokaproate (A-KIC), and arginine
monohydrate HCl. Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (A-AKG) is a
powerful and special form of arginine resulting in dramatic NO
release. A-AKG has also been shown to promote growth hormone
and insulin secretion for additional anabolic effects. Arginine
ketoisokaproate and arginine monohydrate HCL provide the other
two forms for boosting NO levels.
Max Nitro 2s unique formula maximizes your bodys ability to
produce NO and enhance blood flow which will
lead to better pumps during your workout.

How To Deal with Diet Saboteurs
By Maria Kang MENTALLYFIT
Dieting is a challenging
endeavor. You have to plan your
meals, document your intake and
eat consistently. Many of us will
have to skip the Starbucks line,
bring our own bag lunch and
hurry to the gym instead of happy
hour. Successfully dieting would
be quite possible if you worked
in a gym, cooked all your meals,
limited your party engagements
and was surrounded by tness-
minded people. While ideal, its
not realistic for the majority of us.
The majority of dieters have a
family who may or may not be on
the same htness page. Some have
friends who love to party and indulge
in a drink or four! Nany of us attend
events and family engagements when
food is plenty and support is not.
All of us will struggle with opposing
voices that fear the positive changes
you are making in your life. These
are called diet saboteurs," and they
are the things in your environment
that can and will destroy your diet.
Those who are closest.
!t is a popular saying that those who
are closest, will hurt you the most."

NUTRIENTS
THAT DETOXIFY
Youve probably heard the hype before and blew off the term detox diet as
a fad or just bogus material. However, the fact that toxins are present in the body,
both from endogenous (internal) and exogenous (external) sources, is very real.
The human body is amazing and is equipped with a means to rid itself of said
toxins naturally. This detoxication system is primarily comprised of the digestive
system, liver and kidneys. The digestive system contains a host of billions of
benecial bacteria that ght off pathogens to prevent disease and infection. The
kidneys and liver cleanse and lter the blood, while the liver additionally breaks
down food, drugs and nutrients by way of the stomach and intestines.
In order for the body to properly detoxify itself, these three systems must
be running in tip-top shape. While fasting on water and vegetables for
a week may not sound healthy or appealing, adding certain nutrients
to your diet and avoiding excess toxins can assist your body in
functioning more efciently for both health and tness related goals.
Try adding the following nutrients to your diet to give your body a
little detoxifying push.

Some critics claim Tribulus terrestris may increase the urinary testosterone/
epitestosterone (T/E) ratio, which may place athletes at risk of a positive drug test.
To test this hypothesis, researchers at the Southern Cross University, NSW, Australia
conducted a study to determine the effect of T. terrestris on strength, fat-free mass,
and the urinary T/E ratio during 5 weeks of preseason training in elite rugby league
players. Twenty-two players were match-paired and randomly assigned to either a
T. terrestris (450mg/d) or placebo group. All subjects performed structured heavy
resistance training as part of the clubs preseason preparations. After 5 weeks of

differences. Researchers concluded T. terrestris did not alter the urinary T/E ratio and
would not place an athlete at risk of testing positive based on the World Anti-Doping
Agencys urinary T/E ratio limit of 4:1. (Rogerson S, Riches CJ, Jennings C, et al. J
