In these challenging times it’s important to do everything you can for yourself and your loved ones. COVID-19 complications are related to excess weight. Learn how to boost immunity and promote optimal gut health, while eliminating unwanted pounds, fatigue and discomfort!
HEALTH STARTS IN THE GUT
From weight gain and chronic fatigue, to headaches and digestive issues, food sensitivities may be responsible for an array of symptoms and medical conditions. Foods as common as corn and tomatoes may set off reactions that can affect your health and indirectly lead to weight gain.

EXCESS WEIGHT IS LINKED WITH HIGHER RISK OF COVID-19 COMPLICATIONS
If you have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or above, and you get infected, you are 118% more likely to be hospitalized, 74% more likely to land in the ICU, and 48% more likely to die, than if you were of normal weight. A man who is 5’9’’ and weighs 203, has a BMI of 30. A woman who is 5’4” and weighs 174, also has a BMI of 30.
Obesity is linked with higher risk for COVID-19 complications
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS
In a published study from Baylor Medical College, 98% of the subjects following the Alcat diet improved scale weight and/or body composition.
Beyond Weight Loss
Avoiding inflammatory foods and other substances can help not only with weight management, but also optimize health and performance. It can also relieve or eliminate inflammation-driven symptoms of acute or chronic disorders including:
Gut- celiac, IBS, Crohn’s disease, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gastritis, acid reflux
Metabolic- obesity, type 2 diabetes, thyroid, inability to lose weight
Skin- acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, urticaria
Musculoskeletal- stiff/sore joints, arthritis, tendonitis, fibromyalgia
Respiratory- chronic cough, asthma, post-nasal drip, wheezing, sinusitis
Neurological- chronic fatigue, headache, migraine, cognitive impairment, ADD, ADHD
“It’s been a little over 5 months and I have dropped 60 pounds. However, the best part about what has happened, is the fact that I feel better than I have since I was 35 years old and I’m 70, my Doctor has taken me off blood pressure medicine, and I no longer need Meloxicam for pain in my neck and back.”
Sammy O’Banion, Musical artist, Stanley, NC
“I highly recommend the Alcat test to anyone suffering from inflammation, as well as other diagnosed symptoms/diseases that are inflammatory in nature. This is absolutely the best thing I have ever done.”
Terry Brazell, Bank VP,
Lafayette, LA
Thousands of practitioners use this test to help their patients with weight loss and conditions driven by inflammation. Watch this video of Dr. Pescatore discussing the success of using the Alcat Test with his patients. He is the former Associate Medical Director of The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine, and author of best-selling children’s health book, Feed Your Kids Well and The Hamptons Diet.
