  1. MEASURING YOUR CHI The Seven Circles Model of Wellness Ernie Hubbard www.marinwellnesscenter.com

  2. Marin Wellness Center • Website • E-book • Videos • Workshops • Local and Remote • Cross-referrals • Collaborative Research

  3. WHAT IS “CHI” IN THE CONTEXT OF • HUMAN VITALITY? • Health? Wellness? • Longevity? Life Span? • Energy? Fitness? • Joy? Peace? • Creativity? • Can Chi be measured? If so, How?

  4. MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING • OUR VITALITY Genetics Environment Overall Vitality + =

  5. THE LONGEST-LIVING ANIMALS • ON EARTH LIVE IN THE SEA Genus: Porifera (Sea Sponges) Most primitive animal species Carbon-Dating Studies 28,000 years + Implications: Cellular Repair & Regeneration But why?

  6. THE SEVEN CIRCLES MODEL OF HUMAN VITALITY Energy (pre-cellular energy & ions) Cellular (core building blocks) Membrane (tissues & organs) Physical (strength, endurance, flexibility) Integration (mind-heart-body) Relational (family, friends, community) Spiritual/Creative (our highest calling) Energy Cellular Vitality Tissue/Organ Vitality Physical/Body Vitality Mind/Body/Heart Vitality Relational Vitality Spiritual/Creative Vitality

  8. OUR GOAL: RESTORE ANCIENT CONDITIONS FOR OPTIMAL VITALITY + + + + - - - + + + + - - -

  9. COMBINING DIMENSIONS & CAUSES 2-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF HUMAN VITALITY 49 X = 7 Dimensions of Human Vitality 7 Factors Affecting Human Vitality 49 Opportunities to Optimize Human Vitality

  10. 2-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF HUMAN VITALITY Factors Dimensions

  11. 2-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF HUMAN VITALITY Factors Dimensions

  12. LET’S ADD THE THIRD DIMENSION: TIME Etc. So, if we were to track our vitality over four cycles… Etc. Second Analyses First Analyses …we would have 49 X 4 = 196 opportunities to enhance our vitality at one or more levels.

  13. Typical Questions We Can Now Answer Using the Integrated Model • What role do trace minerals play in body composition, hydration, metabolic rate, and cellular health? • Does voltaic balancing and grounding the body • improve sleep? • How does coherent breathing influence the ability to manage stress? • What role does an integrated approach of trace minerals, stress reduction and improved diet have on overall vitality and health?

  14. How To Use the Integrated Model of Vitality • Step 1: Identify and Define Your Goals • Weight? Energy? Stress? • Step 2: Measure Key Vital Parameters—Set Goals • Where Are You Today? • Where Do You Want to Be? • Step 3: Develop Plan to Test Variables • Daily, Weekly, Monthly • Diet? Minerals? Grounding? • Step 4: Re-test, Evaluate and Refine

  15. A Word About the Gizmos, Graphs & Analytics

  16. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE INTEGRATIVE MODEL • Clinical –Health Care Centers • Nutrition/Weight Management/Fitness Programs • Stress Management Programs • Health/Nutrition/Skin/Beauty Products • Vitality-Enhancing Apparel • Workplace Wellness

  17. Q & A About Seven Circles Model of Human Vitality

  18. The Human Life Span (current maximum = 122 years) Infancy Youth Puberty Reproductive “Pause” “Senior” Fragile 0-1 2-12 13-17 18-40’s 50’s+ >60 122 ~ Years

  19. The Human Life Span (current maximum = 122 years) Infancy Youth Puberty Reproductive “Pause” “Senior” Fragile 0-1 2-12 13-17 18-40’s 50’s+ >60 122 ~ Years Period of Declining Vitality for Many Fertilization/Birth: 1 Cell 100,000,000,000,000 (100 Trillion Cells) Strong Developmental & Hormonal Control Primary Biological Goal: Procreation Hormonal Decline All Cells in the Human body are replaced every 7-10 years ~1,000 cells / second Aging & Eventual Death

  20. Some of the Signs of Declining Vitality • Loss of Body Cell Mass (Cell repair/regeneration) • Loss of Intracellular Fluids (Dehydration) • Gain of Unhealthy Body Fat (Shift in Fat/Body Cell ratio) • Loss of Energy (Total Energy and Ability to Utilize)

  21. Some of the Signs of Declining Vitality • Loss of Mental Clarity (Memory, Focus) • Gain of Chronic Stress (+ inability to manage stress) • Sleep Problems (Duration, Cycles) • Loss of Ability to Heal • Inflammation/Auto-Immune Problems

  22. Bio-Impedance Analysis • Safe, Non-Invasive • Reliable, Reproducible • Test Takes Minutes • Immediate Reporting • Easy to Track Trends

  23. Your BIA Report

  24. BIA Report

  25. BIA Report

  26. Many of Us Lose Total Body Water As We Age Reproductive Prime Post Menopause/Andropause During “Normal Aging” We Lose ~20% Of Our Total Body Water 60% 40%

  27. BIA Report

  28. BIA Report

  29. Many of Us Lose Body Cell Mass as We Age Reproductive Prime Post Menopause/Andropause Body Cell Mass 30% 40% Loss of 10% Fat Mass 30% 20% Gain of 10% Extracellular Mass 40% 40%

  30. Changes in Body Cell Mass With Age

  31. Women: Body Weight Does Not Increase With Age Weak Correlation 31

  32. Women: % Body Fat Increases With Age Strong Correlation

  33. Women: Body Cell Mass Declines With Age Very Strong Correlation

  34. Women: Cell Membrane Energy-”Switching” Capacity Trends Down with Age Moderate Correlation

  35. Women: Cell Membrane Energy-Holding Capacity Declines with Age Strong Correlation

  36. BIA Report

  37. Cell Membrane Health Is a Key To Our Cellular Vitality We Can Measure This with BIA

  38. The Vital Journey: • Developed after twelve years of research & testing • Employs the “Seven Circles” model of Vitality • Pre-and-Post Measurements + Individualized Goals & Tracking • Complementary with ongoing medical, fitness and weight management programs • Involves only natural and safety-tested approaches and products
