About Dr. Holick

Vitamin D deficiency is the most common medical condition in the world. In America alone, over 200 million people lack sufficient levels of vitamin D and may consequently suffer from chronic health conditions, ranging from daily annoyances like fatigue and pain to life-threatening illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. But few people know why vitamin D is so important and what they can do to avoid the myriad ailments associated with deficiency, including heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.

There is no better person to demystify this vitamin and showcase its place in human health than author Michael F. Holick, M.D., Ph.D.-the father of modern vitamin D research. With more than three decades spent studying the relationship between vitamin D, limited sun exposure, and human well-being, Dr. Holick shares his findings on how combining the natural curative properties of the sun along with small lifestyle changes can help everyone to live a substantially healthier life.

Armed with a three-step plan incorporating safe amounts of sun exposure, the right supplementation, and eating foods rich in vitamin D, Dr. Holick provides prescriptive advice for anyone- from relatively healthy people to those suffering from chronic or even fatal diseases- on how to easily rebuild and maintain optimal levels of this essential hormone.

Rich with anecdotes and entertaining case studies, The Vitamin D Solution also presents research from around the world to serve as a wake-up call on this potentially lifesaving hormone for health.

This certification program was been developed for tennis professionals and coaches, providing external assessment of skills, knowledge and abilities. The PTR  Master of Tennis-Performance qualification matches the National Standards for Sports Coaches (NSSC) at the highest level, which is Level 5. These Standards, at different levels, are used by many other sports and education bodies in the United States and are recognized and endorsed by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).

This tremendous accomplishment clearly demonstrates Michael’s ongoing devotion to excellence. Strong work, Michael!

“In tennis, an ace is a point-winning serve that isn’t returned by the opposing player,” says Dan Macuga, USANA’s VP of Marketing and Public Relations. “It is considered a demonstration of strength and strategy—qualities that represent USANA. Through this charitable program, we’re able to provide food, nutrients and vital resources to children in need. This is a program that is meaningful to us in many ways.”

Consider these points.

Over 12,ooo aces were served in the 2010 season, (with just shy of 600 aces for a single event in some cases).

All proceeds will benefit Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF), a global nonprofit organization fighting hunger in impoverished regions around the world, with 99% of contributions going directly to into their programs.

And finally,  since an estimated 1.4 billion people worldwide live on less than $1.25 a day, each  $10 “Ace” is very significant.

“We are thrilled to contribute to the Children’s Hunger Fund through the efforts of our world-class athletes,” said Stacey Allaster, CEO & Chairman of the WTA. “USANA is a fantastic partner of the WTA and this program will make a real difference in helping children in dire need.”

I have always loved good science.  It is one reason I was attracted to USANA Health Sciences, a nutritional company based on a real commitment to quality products backed by published peer-reviewed scientific research.

This past weekend I had the distinct pleasure to meet Dr. Brian Dixon, one of the Senior Scientist at USANA Health Sciences, while I was in Anaheim, California.

Dr. Dixon earned a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology from Oregon State University’s Linus Pauling Institute, where he focused his research on the underlying biochemical mechanisms of the aging process and the therapeutic potential of lipoic acid.  His primary role at USANA is to facilitate and manage all clinical studies conducted at USANA.

Needless to say, this guy is brilliant, and he does a wonderful job supporting all USANA associates. Saturday evening I asked him to describe his doctoral work. Wow, very impressive indeed, as was his humor, poise and confidence in the quality science behind each of USANA’s products.

Additionally, Dr. Dixon is quite an accomplished athlete, and truly devoted to healthy lifestyle choices based on good nutrition, exercise, rest, and optimal dose science-based nutritional supplementation.

“Nutrition has always been close to my heart,” Dr. Dixon says. “I joined the USANA scientific team for their unyielding and uncompromising edict to produce the highest quality science-based health products in the industry.”

Thank you Brian for making my USANA business both easier and more fun, through your commitment to excellent science.
