Protein Powder

PaleoMeal

PaleoMeal is our powdered nutrition formula designed to promote peak wellness by optimizing the body's intake of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and micronutrients. The ingredients make this formula ideal for patients needing support with weight control, GI health, detoxification, immune issues, heavy metals and muscle gain. PaleoMeal is made with exceptionally high-quality whey protein, which comes from herds that graze on pesticide-free, chemical-free natural grass pastures. The result is the highest-quality protein supplement, rich in immunoglobulins and lactoferin. Free of artificial flavors and sweeteners, PaleoMeal is available in natural vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors.

Cost: $43 + tax

Whey CoolTM Powder

Whey CoolTM, a proprietary non-denatured whey protein concentrate, is produced to maintain the full range of the fragile immune-boosting and regenerative components naturally present in raw milk. The milk harvested for this product comes from cows that graze on pesticide- and chemical-free natural grass pastures. Milk from grass-fed cows has much higher levels of CLA and contains a proper balance of essential fatty acids. The milking cows are never fed grain or subjected to any growth-hormone treatments, chemicals, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms, hyperimmunization or injected pathogens.

You can buy these bars at any of the conditioning areas, in the Sports Café or in the Wellness Center.

Xylitol

Xylitol, also known as birch sugar, is a naturally occurring sweet compound found in fruits and vegetables. Xylitol not only lacks the downside of typical sugars, but also boasts a range of health benefits. Unlike table or fruit sugar, both of which should only be consumed in minimal amounts, Xylitol actually promotes our health and can be consumed every day. Because Xylitol is completely natural, it does not have the undesirable side effects of artificial sweeteners.

Heart rate monitors

Heart rate monitors (HRM) tell you how many times your heart beats per minute. This information can be used for a variety of purposes, but mostly to execute and monitor adherence to a Zone Training Program. Zones are simply the heart-rate range you should achieve during a designated exercise period. The Wellness Center can design a specific Zone Training Program for you based on your physiological measures as ascertained by a Metabolic Exercise Test (Link to Metabolic Testing for more information about this testing).

The Wellness Center offers the Timex 741 and 351 models. These models were selected for their unique quality of being able to be programmed with specific, customized zones. These units do not cross-talk (pick up another HRM's signal) and both record heart rate (HR) data and audibly alert you when you are not in your programmed zone. The Wellness Center team will enter your customized zones, train you to use your unit and answer your troubleshooting questions.

Cost: $75
*Note, package prices for Metabolic Testing and HRM are available. See the link above.
