Oh!Mino - August 2020

ACROSS ALL FITNESS LEVELS, AMY WHITE’S CLIENTS SEE POSITIVE RESULTS A NUTRITIONIST’S PERSPECTIVE ON OH!MINO

Amy White is a nutritionist, health coach, and weight loss expert, but a decade ago, she was simply a concerned wife and mother. Her daughter and husband both struggled with gut issues no expert could solve, so Amy decided to become the expert. She earned a master's degree in holistic nutrition and racked up certifications. Through her company, The Simplicity of Wellness, Amy helps hundreds of people change their lives. The majority of her client base is over 40 and struggling with extra weight and lifestyle diseases like Type 2 diabetes. When she first heard about Oh!mino, Amy was impressed by its electrolyte profile. Then she discovered the power of our amino acid formula. Over a year ago, she started using it to supplement her workouts and began recommending it to clients. “It just really fit into my life, and as I did more research, it became clear to me that it was an excellent supplement for my client base because they’re older people and they’re not eating

the amount of protein they should be eating,” Amy explains. “Offering Oh!mino is a way for me to go, ‘Here, enjoy this drink. It will help with your electrolyte balance, you'll feel better, and it will help with your muscle maintenance, too.’” Amy’s 80-year-old clients use Oh!mino to increase their muscle longevity and maintain lean muscle mass as they age. Her younger demographic uses it as an exercise supplement. “One of my clients is really using it as part of her exercise program, and she’s just in love with it,” Amy says. “She does the preworkout with the caffeine, then the post-workout stimulant-free, and she takes the capsules before she goes to bed. She was on a huge weight loss journey, so she has lost over 50 pounds and really increased her strength.” Thanks to her methods and Oh!mino, Amy says she’s healthier and fitter at 53 than she was a decade ago. Her husband, an endurance cyclist, also loves the supplement.

“That’s what he puts in his drink bottle,” Amy says. “He says the only problem is that he runs out of his drink way too fast because it’s too yummy … He’s 62 now and in the best shape he’s ever been in.” To learn more about how Oh!mino can help your clients the way it’s helped Amy’s, visit calendly.com/mmaynard/ professional-calls to schedule your 20 minute download.

DEPRESSED, ANXIOUS, OR ANGRY? TRY LISTENING TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL!

THE POWER OF MUSIC TO SHIFT YOUR MOOD

2020 has been a difficult year. If you’re feeling frustrated, angry, or depressed right now, you’re not alone! All over the world, people have been trying different strategies to cope with their feelings, including yoga, meditation, exercise, binge-watching their favorite TV shows, and even baking banana bread. But perhaps the most universal outlet and cure for pent-up emotions is music. Do you remember the clip that went viral in March of Italians in quarantine, singing together from their balconies? If you do, that’s probably because it made you smile. TIME heralded it as proof that “the country’s spirits are still strong,”

and it’s just one small example of how music uplifts people. This isn’t just an anecdotal effect, either. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, music can help us process emotions and fight mental health conditions like anxiety, dysregulation, depression, trauma, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, and more. So, how can you take advantage of music’s power to turn your mood around? One option is to create music of your own, but another is simply to listen. When it comes to flipping a bad mood on its head, a survey conducted by the Family Center for Recovery (FCR) suggests that rock is the genre of choice. “During any given year, depression affects approximately 5%–8% of Americans,” FCR reports. “According to our survey participants, the vast majority — around 89% — turn

to music in order to feel better. The top genre for depressed listeners is rock, followed closely by alternative, pop, and hip-hop/rap.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the blues came in last on the list.

To put the power of music to work, create playlists for each mood that you want to turn around, like “Anger,” “Frustration,” “Sadness,” “Anxiety,” or “Grief,” and fill them with songs from genres associated with fighting that feeling. According to FCR, rock is the most popular antidote to sadness and anxiety, and it’s also high on the list for anger, along with pop and country. Frustrated people opt for variations of rock, pop, punk, and heavy metal, and those stricken by grief turn to soft rock or soul. The artists are up to you, so fill up your lists, press play, and let the music do its work.
