Mike: So we're talking with Jan Lovejoy here, the author of the new book, Get Balanced. She's also founder of Emerald Balance and the X-Balance product line formulator. How would you describe this book and who is it for? Jan: Well, it's a very user-friendly reference guide, and the way I organized it is that I put it by body parts. So, we've got brain health, moods and stress, ligaments and joints, heart health, weight management, hair, skin, and nails, and I chose particular superfoods that you can buy at the grocery store or anywhere. Then what I did is I wrote down the superfoods, how much to take, where to buy it, and then the reason why you would want to take it, all the different vitamins and minerals that are in that, and the protein, and what it does. And then I go into more scientific research for those people that are more like "MacGyver" and less like "Dick and Jane." That way those people who really want to research… and I have a lot of doctors who really love this book, because they felt they actually learned something from it. Mike: And it's all about superfoods and nutrition for body systems. Jan: Absolutely. And then I talk about the nutrients and how they actually work with that particular part of the body. Mike: So do you get into all the phytochemicals and their impact on different organs? Jan: Oh, absolutely. Plus exactly how the body works. Like with the heart, what is HDL, what is LDL? What are the numbers you really want to be looking for? How grapefruit juice will really work with that. And if you are taking a blood thinner, you can still take the grapefruit juice. Yeah, it can cut down your blood thinning drugs. Mike: Right, right. Jan: Instead of taking more, you can take less. Mike: Yeah. And medicine normally says don't do grapefruit juice or don't do St. John's Wort, but, really, grapefruit juice potentiates these medications. Jan: Making them better. That's right, take less. Mike: So now, where can people get this book? Let's talk about that. Jan: Right now you can buy it on www.Amazon.com, and also on our website at www.sgnnutrition.com or right now I'm looking at a couple of distributors that want to start distributing it and different vitamin and retail stores, which is great. Keeping it simple for maximum knowledge retentionMike: And why did you write the book? Aren't you busy enough with all the products you come up with and running SGN Nutrition?Jan: Well, really, the reason why is there are superfood books out there, but they are so hard to read, and you just get so lost. Unless you're a nutritionist, you don't want to read it. So I did it in what I call "ADD little scripts". So it's like one-liners so that you remember it, because if it gets too detailed and too technical nobody is going to want to read it. Mike: Can you give me an example of a one-liner out of the book? Jan: "Vitamin A is great for the immune system." Because what it does is your body needs more Vitamin A, and this is how much Vitamin A you need to have. And then there will be a superfood there that has more Vitamin A, and then I talk about Vitamin A from foods, from beta carotene that your body is actually going to convert into Vitamin A instead of taking it as a synthetic.
