Grand Opening of
D'Adamo Personalized Nutrition™ Centers
|
 |
Bringing the benefits of an individualized approach to nutrition to the widest possible public has always been a dream of mine. But until now this kind of personalized nutrition approach required doctor visits and expensive testing. For the last three years I have been exploring the idea of a retail concept based around the NAP product line and in June 2009 this dream will become a reality with the opening of the first D’Adamo Personalized Nutrition™ Center in Wilton, CT.
The store is designed to provide a personalized shopping experience to help people live a healthy life based on The Blood Type Diet™ and GenoType Diet™ Systems and guides the shopper in understanding why an individualized approach is important for permanent weight loss and a healthy body.
Staffed by expert followers of the diet, the store will offer a wide range of products for sale, including supplements and vitamins for each blood type, home testing kits, Genoma™ Skin Care products, books and educational materials, and more. The store is the one-stop D'Adamo Personalized Nutrition™ Center for supplements designed for a person’s blood type and biochemical uniqueness, avoiding the designed-for-the-masses approach to supplements.
I’ve also been working on a user-friendly, touch screen software program that will allow anyone to tailor their nutritional supplementation to meet their specific needs and goals. As most of you know, I love tinkering with programming, and the development of this software package is exciting for me. This will be released in June at the store opening, and there will be more information about this on the website in the upcoming months.
And…the store is beautiful! Here’s a peak at the interior. Over the next month, we’ll be posting more information on the website. Our grand opening is scheduled for June 13th, so if you are in the area, put the date on your calendar.
As it turns out, IfHI 2009, our bi-annual training and certification, is the week before the store opening, and we’ll be hosting a preview open house of the store for all the people attending the conference who would like to have a tour. We’ll have sign up sheets at the IfHI registration desk, and we’ll coordinate shuttle buses from the conference center to the store.
Exciting times, and May promises to be a busy month! Stay healthy and enjoy the nice weather.

Our Customers have been asking about the swine flu... |
|
Taking proactive measures can help to prevent illnesses. |
|
We have been receiving a lot of calls expressing concern about Swine Flu. Dr. D’Adamo is recommending the following:
- Get plenty of rest.
- Drink 12-16 oz. of water daily.
- Avoid sugar. It depresses the immune system.
- Be more compliant with your Blood Type Diet or GenoType Diet.
- Use good hygiene etiquette – wash your hands frequently, cough and sneeze
into the inside of your elbow.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Give your children hand sanitizer to bring to school (and take some to work, yourself).
- As a proactive measure, Dr. D'Adamo recommends taking Proberry
3 Liquid or Proberry
Caps, Deflect
O, Deflect
A, Deflect
AB, or Deflect
B, and Quercetin
Plus.

As women age, their nutritional needs change as well. The herbs and vitamins that worked for them in their twenties and thirties, may not be the right supplements in their forties and fifties. |

During the past decade, more and more women are taking their health seriously. Whether it’s getting out to the gym, watching their weight more carefully or researching what supplements are right for them, the trend towards a healthier lifestyle is here to stay. As women age, their nutritional needs change as well. The herbs and vitamins that worked for them in their twenties and thirties, may not be the right supplements in their forties and fifties. At the D’Adamo Naturopathic Clinic, we follow time honored naturopathic principals and also access the latest scientific research, to offer our patients the very best care. The supplements that we recommend are formulated by Dr. D’Adamo and blended with the purest ingredients available for every stage of a woman’s life.
Exakta
Exakta is a unique multivitamin formulated to meet the vitamin and nutrient demands that occur at different stages of life. Exakta provides for the higher biological needs of growing children, pregnant women and nursing mothers as well as seniors.
- Includes vitamins, minerals, essential omega fatty acids, and botanical concentrates and extracts which provide whole food sources of potent anti-oxidants. A truly unique and complete multi-vitamin.
- Encapsulated form and containing only the highest bio-available sources allows for maximum absorption and assimilation as opposed to tablet formulations.
- Unlike most multivitamins, Exakta contains Larch Arabinogalactans to support the immune system and provide a source of soluble fiber and prebiotics which helps promote the growth and maintenance of beneficial intestinal bacteria and health.
Phytocal
Phytocal is a multi-mineral formula designed to compliment Dr. Peter D'Adamo's multivitamins. Each formula contains the most absorbable form of natural calcium from a seaweed called Maerl, found only in isolated areas off the coast of Northwest Ireland.
- Individualized for each blood type to address the variables of assimilation capabilities and differing cofactor and trace mineral necessities:
- Phytocal O contains extra minerals and herbs to support joint health and junction as well as thyroid support.
- Phytocal
A contains extra antioxidants to support cardiovascular health and botanicals to support digestion.
- Phytocal
B contains higher levels of vitamins and minerals which support carbohydrate metabolism, as well as important blood building and bone strength support.
- Phytocal
AB contains additional digestive support and herb sources of gentle iron.
- Covers all aspects of multimineral and calcium demands of growing and aging bodies and bones.
Aromastat
Aromastat is an all-natural blend of herbs shown in clinical studies to inhibit aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen. This conversion is a problem in hormone balance and regulation during both menstrual and menopausal years.
- Great for use in diseases of estrogen dominance or in case where estrogen can complicate conditions such as certain types of cancer, menstrual cramps, cystic ovaries, hot flashes, and even symptoms of PMS such as bloating, headaches, food cravings and irritability.
- Helps balance levels of progesterone in cases of amenorrhea, or absence of menstruation.
- Supports healthy body weight by increasing lean muscle and decreasing fat tissue.
FEM Balance
Each day in the United States, about 4,000 women enter menopause. And it’s side effects are not just hot flashes and mood swings; bone health needs to be maintained as well. Developed with the most researched herbal alternatives to hormone replacement therapy, FEM
Balance is perfect for:
- Decreasing the frequency and intensity of hot flashes associated with hormone imbalance as seen in menopause.
- Feminine dryness and vaginal tissue atrophy associated with menopause.
- Symptoms associated with PMS such as bloating, headaches, food cravings and irritability.
- Decreases length and intensity of menstrual cramps.
- With appropriate supplementation of vitamins and minerals, as well as resistance exercise, supports bone health.

Through the Ages - Nutrition and Exercise for Every Stage in a Woman’s Life

Beginning in childhood, good eating and
exercise habits build the foundation for health and vitality throughout
a woman’s life. |

Beginning in childhood, good eating and exercise habits build the foundation for health and vitality throughout a woman’s life.
Childhood
Good nutrition and exercise habits are essential for growth and development. They also help girls feel good about their bodies and set up lifelong habits for healthy living. That said, it’s not always easy. Children are notoriously picky eaters. It takes hard work and commitment, but encouraging good food choices and making sure that kids are getting enough exercise will instill these values in your children. Be a good role model. Your girls will learn habits for nutritious eating and active living by watching you – their most influential teacher. Getting enough calcium is crucial for building strong bones and a children’s mutli-vitamin can help to ensure that your picky eater is getting the nutrients she needs. An Omega fish oil blend is recommended for healthy brain development. Encourage your daughter to engage in a variety of sports – this will allow for muscle, bone and posture development that is well balanced. Upper body strength to support the spine (such as swimming and climbing) and activities that challenge balance (dance, cycling, skating) are particularly good for girls. Supplement suggestions: Exakta - right for all types multi-vitamin/mineral and fish oil blend for ages 6 years +.
Teen Years
Saying that there are some challenges in adolescence is an understatement.
Even the girls with the healthiest eating habits can be reduced to a diet of
fast food and soda. Balancing school, activities, friends and family can be stressful.
There is peer pressure to be thin, and some girls try restrictive diets at a
time when their bodies are growing rapidly and need good food to supply their
developing body. A young woman’s peak bone mass occurs at age 18, so it’s important
to continue taking a calcium supplement with vitamin D to help absorption. In
addition, because the incidence of iron deficiency is very high in women in the
United States, a supplement containing iron is recommended as well. Calming,
centering exercise such as yoga is fantastic for blood type A and AB teen girls – not
only does it allow for stress relief, but it strengthens the core muscles and
helps to build self-esteem. For your type O daughter, karate or another martial
art is a great option – the intense workout helps to calm and bring her into
balance, it also is great for building muscle and developing self-confidence.
Make sure that your teen daughter is not skipping breakfast. Studies show that
most young children eat a complete breakfast, but that number drops dramatically
in the teen years. Eating a nutritious breakfast has been conclusively linked
to higher test scores and better concentration in school. Ample rest time is
also essential for healthy development – teens need lots of sleep! Supplement
Suggestions: right-for-her-type Polyvite
and Phytocal formulas)
Early Adulthood
We have found that young women develop an interest in health and nutrition that begins during this stage in life. Magazines like Shape and Fitness target this market because they know that young women want to be in great shape physically, but they also want to feel healthy and energetic. This is an ideal time to begin the GenoType
Diet – this will ensure that you are eating well, but also you will reprogram your gene responses, repair cellular damage and manage your weight and metabolism. Because weight is often a concern, the best way to remain at your optimal weight is to avoid junk food and sugary foods and stick to your GenoType
Diet. Regular exercise keeps you physically and mentally healthy, makes your skin glow and energizes you. Finding an exercise program that works for you is essential as you should continue performing weight bearing exercises to build strong bones, tone muscles and manage the stress that comes with completing college and beginning to build your career. Finally, remember to get your annual check-ups! Make an annual physical with a naturopathic doctor or MD, have a gynecological exam annually and make dental check-ups part of your busy routine. Remember, regular maintenance now can prevent bigger problems later! Supplement Suggestions: The GenoType Multivitamin, Activator, Catalyst and Synergist.
Childbearing Years
All those healthy habits you developed during early adulthood really pay off now! Having re-set your genes through the GenoType
Diet, you are in prime shape to start a family and pass along those healthy genes to your baby. During this time, it’s important to make sure you are consuming the recommended amount of folic acid – which helps to prevent certain birth defects. With the increased demands of family, work and everything else you have to squeeze into 24 hours, finding time to exercise is difficult, but it’s essential for maintaining bone strength and preserving cardiovascular health. Cooking for a family can also be a challenge. Being vigilant about getting your recommended allowance of right for your type fruits and vegetables is crucial at this stage of life, in addition to providing healthy nutrients; they’re also filled with fiber and antioxidants. Adding a probiotic to your diet can help with digestive problems and irregularity that is common during this stage of life. In addition to your routine medical exams, you should also be performing monthly breast exams and if you are approaching 40, getting an annual mammogram. Supplement Suggestions: During pregnancy and nursing take Exakta and folic acid. If you are not pregnant, take the GenoType supplements, or right for your type Polyvite,
Phytocal and Polyflora.
Menopause
Menopause can bring some very uncomfortable symptoms for some women – hot flashes, night sweats, and moodiness are but a few. Eating right for your type can help to keep the weight gain that frequently accompanies menopause in check. Maintaining cardiovascular health, bone strength and flexibility are important exercise-related goals for you at this stage of life. Many women find yoga and stretching exercise particularly helpful. It’s gentle on the joints and provides the mind-body connection that helps to relieve irritability. Some herbs have proven effective in helping to alleviate some of the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. Chaste tree berry, black cohosh root and dong quai root are among the most frequently prescribed herbs to relieve menopausal symptoms. Continue to see your doctor for an annual physical and routine blood work and get your mammograms – they can be a life saver! Again, it’s important to continue your supplement regimen of calcium, multivitamins and probiotics. Supplement Suggestions: Dr. D’Adamo’s FEM
Balance is a blend of herbs that soothes the uncomfortable symptoms that accompany menopause and Aromastat contains ingredients that help to balance hormones.
Seniors
Exercises that focus on balance and flexibility should be a fundamental part of your workout routine. Balance is an essential component of fitness, as good balance decreases falls and injuries and helps you to right yourself when you are in an unstable environment. Brain health is also important at this age. As we age, our cognitive function may naturally decrease. Challenge yourself by learning something new – like a second language or a new hobby. Do crossword or Sudoku puzzles to keep your brain sharp. Regular daily activity keeps your heart and muscles strong and being socially involved through group activity simulates your mind and elevates your mood, and keeps you young and vital! Don’t restrict yourself! There are a good number of older women who run marathons, climb mountains and engage in competitive sports – don’t let your chronological age become a barometer of what you can or cannot do! Continue taking your multivitamin, calcium and probiotics, extra B vitamins and fish oil or other cognitive support supplement, such as Attentia can also be helpful at this stage. |

Wouldn’t it be great to
make a little extra money during these difficult economic times?
We’ve found a way to do this by doing what you are already
doing – sharing with others about the Blood Type Diet and
the NAP supplements!
The new and vastly improved Share Right program allows you to
earn commissions on product sales generated by all your friends

and is designed to allow us (and you!) to track sales generated
by those you refer. At the end of the month, you’ll get to see a

supplements “supplement” your income, particularly during this
uncertain economic times.) It’s also a great way for us to say
