EDiiTOR’S NOTE ED

Health is personal I had some reservations about writing the main story in our special health and wellness issue. People can get a little squirrelly when you bring up weight.

Weight is something I’ve personally struggled with, and something many I know struggle with as well. So finding a way to do so sustainably and safely (the opposite of The Big Loser, which had devastating effects on its participants) was a gamechanger for me.

Health and nutrition is something I’ve studied for a long time, and it’s a field full of quacks and charlatans. I’ve learned to look for red flags: They advocate for one specific diet or miracle food and they happen to sell products for it; a complete lack of supporting research, or (something that happens surprisingly often) the research they cite doesn’t say what they say it says; people making mechanistic arguments (often not supported by the research, and often because what they’re describing is only part of the equation).

So finding something that works for me, that’s not obsessive (I haven’t even been tracking for months and my weight has stayed steady) or requires a special diet has been a relief. For those interested, hopefully it provides that same clarity and relief.

For those who aren’t interested, no problem. Health is personal, and you’re free to make your own choices.

Filtration contemplation

City leaders urge city staff, Water Commission to move quickly on temporary solutions to provide safe water The result of a nearly one and a half-hour meeting Tuesday evening was pretty clear: The city should move fast and not dally when it comes to finding ways to provide clean water to Wausau’s residents.

The city council, meeting as a committee of the whole to discuss solutions to the PFAS crisis, mostly agreed that city staff should bring some solutions to the city’s Water Commission on March 1 that the council can ultimately fund. Those solutions include the possibility of buying home filtration devices (either pitchers or under the sink models) with the proven ability to test for PFAS chemicals, providing bottled water or the possibility of a mobile filtration device that could temporarily attach to the current water plant.

The city earlier this month announced that testing in January had discovered polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS) in the city’s water supply. The levels, between 23-48 parts per trillion, are lower than the current Environmental Protection Agency standard of 70 ppt but below new proposed standards recommended by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Health Services of 20 ppt. The state’s Natural Resources Board took up the new proposal past City Pages’s deadline.

PFAS chemicals are found in a number of household products and can have a number of negative health impacts, including causing cancer.

City council member Tom Kilian told the committee that he’d identified some filters highlighted in a 2020 study by Duke University as filtering most of the PFAS out of drinking water. That study contradicts DHS broad since 1870.

Providing education

recommendations about carbon-based filters.

City Council President Becky McElhaney told the committee she favors the mobile filtration device used at the water plant, since it would clean the water for all residents, not just those who knew to pick up the filter.

But, city council member Lisa Rasmussen said, that could take three months and cost more than $2 million, and in the meantime residents want clean water.

City Council Member Lou Larson told the committee he favors looking into and using all three types if possible.

The Water Commission will meet on March 1 and city staff should have recommendations for them to consider.

The Finance Committee and city council will then meet on March 8 or in a special meeting earlier if necessary. The council will consider those recommendations, but also could act on its own if they feel the commission’s recommendations aren’t sufficient.

City applying for ARPA funds to test PFAS solutions

The city is applying for American Rescue Plan Act dollars to help fund a pilot study looking at the best way to remove polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the city’s drinking water supply.

The application, included in the city’s Finance Committee packet, calls for $240,000 from ARPA funds, listing the urgency as the highest priority, or emergency.

Public Works Director Eric Lindman says the pilot study is an evolving process, and that the Public Works Department has been working with the Wisconsin

Department of Natural Resources and the Public Service Commission in developing the pilot study. The study, approved earlier this month by the city’s Water Commission, would test a number of materials to find out which would best filter PFAS from the city’s drinking water.

Those filters could also then be used in the city’s new drinking water plant, which is slated to go online as soon as this summer.

There is also talk about studying whether PFAS is in the wastewater process, Lindman says. While there are currently no regulations regarding wastewater, it’s something the city could consider testing.

Grand Theater lifts vaccination requirements; not masks

Visitors to the Grand Theater will no longer need to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to attend shows; but will still be required to wear masks while in the building.

The change comes as COVID-19 numbers continue to decline. Numbers of cases in Wisconsin have declined to a tenth of what they were earlier in the year. Marathon County had a peak 7-day average case count of 383 in mid-January; that 7-day average dropped to 28 as of Wednesday and continues to decline.

All patrons will still be required to wear masks unless eating or drinking, and all staff will be masked. Some acts might have their own rules and might still require proof of vaccination. Grand Theater staff will post those requirements on the Grand’s website on the ticketing page, and

will notify patrons of the extra requirements should they occur.

“We appreciate the patience and continued support from our patrons and donors throughout this season,” Grand Director Sean Wright said in a press release. “We’re also encouraged to see the COVID-19 numbers improving throughout Wisconsin.”

Plan to designate John Marshall a historic landmark paused

A move to designate John Marshall Elementary a historic landmark is on hold to give the city more time to work with the school district.

The city’s Plan Commission last week voted to pause for six month’s a decision on whether or not to designate John Marshall, a school built in 1920, a historic landmark. The city’s Historic Preservation Commission voted earlier to designate the school a historic landmark, but the Plan Commission after receiving a letter from the school district decided to table the idea for six months so the city could work collaboratively with the district.

The district is studying its current building footprint.

Districts the size of Wausau’s of around 6,000 to 8,000 students generally have five to six elementary schools, school board member Jon Creisher says. Wausau has 13.

With enrollments declining in most school districts across the state and in the state as a whole — the student count dropped by nearly 4,000 students and about 25,000 the year before that — the district will need to think about potential reductions in the number of buildings it maintains, Creisher told the Plan Commission.

The school district sent a letter to the city following the Historic Preservation Commission’s decision saying it wanted the city to hold off on the designation until it can get parent input on its elementary school footprint and complete its community-wide study of its 13 elementary schools.

Historian Gary Gisselman told the plan commission that the school served as the community center of the Southeast Side neighborhood when it was built in 1920, and that the building could still be renovated in order for it to continue being used. He pointed to the Longfellow administration building, which was built in 1894 as a school and is still in use today.

The city designated Grant Elementary School a historic landmark after the school district announced plans that would have demolished the historic school. The referendum that would have provided funding for that failed at the ballots anyway.

grid around the mall site because a developer is interested in Lot No. 4 in the Wausau Opportunity Zone’s plans for redeveloping the mall site. That plot is where the east side of the mall stood, south of Washington Street and east of Third Street.

That same developer, who Radenz didn’t name, is also interested in Lot No. 5, which is mostly where the old Sears building stood.

Radenz says the new developer would like to start breaking ground by October this year on the project, which Radenz did not detail.

City Planner Brad Lenz noted that the street plan that REI laid out does not include continuing Fourth Street through from Washington to Forest, something previous designs had included.

Contaminated soil will need to be removed from the site, and REI is working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on “getting closure” for that site, Radenz says.

“It’s moving faster than we collectively anticipated but that’s a great thing for us,” Radenz says.

Initial plans from WOZ showed those two lots as being mixed-use residential units. Both lots together make up nearly three acres of property.

Police respond to 174 crashes Friday

Officers from multiple departments and emergency services responded to 174 crashes during Friday’s snowstorm, including major pileups on Hwy. 51.

Heavy snowstorms starting in the afternoon created hazardous conditions, leading to gates being put up on some onramps to Hwy. 51 as officers worked to remove cars from the pileups with the assistance of several tow truck companies.

According to the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office, 144 of the 174 crashes only involved property damage and 30 involved injuries.

Emergency workers responded to 174 crashes over the course of Friday’s snowstorm, including multi-vehicle pileups on Hwy. 51.

Some people had to be extricated from their vehicles and a bus was brought in to transport some people from the scene.

Plover Starbucks looking to unionize Workers at the Starbucks in Plover are demanding to be recognized as a union, according to a copy of the letter sent to Starbucks’ CEO. The letter, posted by the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, calls on Starbucks CEO and President Kevin Johnson to recognize their union, called the CMRJB Workers United, “as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining agent for all permanent full-time and part-time employees, including barista and shift supervisors.” The demand excludes store managers and assistant store managers, as well as other higher-level supervisors.

“We are overworked, overwhelmed, underpaid, and are left feeling undervalued,” the workers wrote. “Simultaneously, corporate is seeing record profits, as well as wasting millions on despicable union-busting campaigns across the nation.”

The Starbucks, located in the Crossroads Commons area in Plover on the border of Stevens Point, is the second to demand union recognition. A store on Howell Avenue in Oak Creek was the first to do so, holding a rally last weekend.

Veto showdown

CAPiiTOL EYE CAP

Evers signals he will veto a series of GOP election bills Gov. Tony Evers signaled he’ll likely veto more than a dozen GOP election bills scheduled for votes this week in the state Senate and Assembly.

“I have to see them first, but the bottom line is, as I talked about in my State of the State speech, this is a fundamental democratic issue,” Evers said on WISN’s “UpFront.” “Not Democratic Party, it’s our democracy that’s on the line. And if we make it harder for eligible people to vote, then that’s going to be a problem for me.”

Evers, who is seeking re-election in November, defended the Wisconsin Elections Commission and said the agency should continue overseeing elections in the state.

Republican opponents Rebecca Kleefisch and Kevin Nicholson have called to eliminate the commission.

“The people that work in the Elections Commission – the Elections Commission themselves are hard working – but the actual state employees that work there are great employees,” Evers said. “They’re just getting pummeled for no apparent reason.

And so I think the present system works.”

Evers also pushed back on criticism from Republicans that he’s not focused enough on crime and public safety as he prepares to seek re-election.

“The question is why Republicans have consistently not funded shared revenue

for the municipalities,” Evers said. “Most of that money comes from shared revenue and most of the time Republicans have reduced or made it more difficult to have shared revenue being passed onto the municipalities.”

Gableman seeks jail for subpoena non-compliance

Former Justice Michael Gableman on Friday asked a Waukesha County judge to jail the Wisconsin Elections Commission chair and officials with four cities if they refuse to comply with previously issued subpoenas.

Gableman had previously filed a similar request for the mayors of Green Bay and Madison only to back away from the suggestion he was seeking to have them jailed if they failed to comply.

On Friday, he filed an amended motion that accuses the targets of willfully failing to comply with legislative subpoenas and asking the judge to set a deadline for them to do so. The motion asks the judge to jail the officials until they heed the proposed order.

The motion says they all failed to appear by a deadline this week to testify before

his office and seeks to have the targets pay the fees and costs incurred by the state due to their actions.

Along with Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich and Madison Mayor Satya RhodesConway, the new targets include: Madison Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl, Green Bay Clerk Celestine Jeffreys, Elections Commission Chair Ann Jacobs, Elections Commission IT Project Manager Sarah Linske, Wisconsin Director of Enterprise Technology Trina Zanow, Milwaukee Telecommunications Manager David Henke,

Milwaukee GIS Analyst Hannah Bubacz and a representative of Racine.

Nearly two dozen groups have signaled support for an amended bill to overhaul the state’s indefinitely confined voter law, especially if another change is added on the Senate floor today.

Gov. Tony Evers is expected to veto the bulk of the election-related bills Republicans plan to take up in the closing weeks of the session. The offer of support from groups such as Disability Rights Wisconsin and the League of Women Voters for SB 937 is a sign that some are pushing Dems to get on board with at least one of the bills Republicans plan to take up.

ment, which the Senate can consider on the floor today, would match the definition of disability to language used by the Social Security Administration.

“Ultimately, we support this bill because it is critically important to maintain this vital protection for indefinitely confined voters,” the groups wrote. “While not all of the changes we supported were included, the bill was amended to address the most serious concerns advocates raised at the hearing.”

Under current law, those who are indefinitely confined due to age, illness or infirmary can receive an absentee ballot automatically for every election and don’t have to provide proof of identification to cast their votes. Indefinitely confined voters must return their absentee ballots in every election or local clerks would stop sending them until the status is declared again.

The bill would change who’s eligible to claim the status to those who are indefinitely confined and can’t travel independently without significant burden. It also would drop age as a criterion for eligibility.

pump more money into education.

While Evers can call the Legislature into special session, he can’t force lawmakers to act. GOP legislative leaders have quickly dispatched of Evers’ past special session calls, gaveling them in and out in a matter of seconds.

While Evers had three stops around the state following his Feb. 15 State of the State, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes hit two UW campuses. During his Madison stop, Barnes told reporters Evers called the special session because the “Legislature has unfortunately acted irresponsibly and not answered the calls of working people.”

“We can’t just sit behind while Republicans choose to do nothing in the Legislature while people in Wisconsin continue to suffer,” he said.

requirements to qualify for government assistance programs, fund efforts to attract more veterans to the workforce, and promote apprenticeship and youth apprenticeship programs. But Dems argue the push will only reduce the assistance programs’ ability to get more people in the workforce.

One of those bills, which passed in a 59-33 vote along party lines, would require the Department of Workforce Development to conduct random audits for at least 50 percent of all work search actions. Current law requires such audits, but does not specify how many must be conducted. The bill would also change application requirements for those looking to receive unemployment benefits.

Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, slammed Republicans for what she called a move to demean those seeking unemployment benefits. She said Wisconsinites searching for work need assistance, not audits.

“This is about shaming Wisconsinites who receive benefits,” she said. “It’s about attacking and preventing disadvantaged, mostly Black and brown folks from adequate benefits altogether.”

How I lost weight and kept it off There are vegetarian and vegan options, as well as keto and some other diet types. I stuck with a standard diet.

The first week was tough. It set my calories at 2,000 to start, and that first week I lost far more than the sustainable level. It adjusted up probably too far the next week and by week three seemed dialed in just right.

The only other target to really hit is protein - low calories plus high protein helps lose weight while slowly lowering your body weight, generally about 1-2 pounds per week.

Remarkably, beyond the first week when my calories were set too low, I never really had much hunger again.

There were days when I missed my targets, say at family get-togethers. I simply got back to it the next day.

It’s important to note that weight loss is not a steady lowering of a number. Weight in humans fluctuates a lot from day to day, depending on a number of factors such as water retention. I took measurements daily but only put stock in the weekly check-ins.

Weeks turned into months, and before long I’d dropped from 209 pounds to 198. I took a break and switched to maintenance for a few weeks, still tracking but now eating in a higher maintenance range. It felt easier by comparison, even though dropping wasn’t too bad either.

Then I went down another 6 pounds, to 190. I’ve since set my maintenance to 192 and have stuck around that range since.

The coaching app has been a tool I can pull out when I need it. I weigh myself every so often, and if I start straying too much from 192, I track until I’m back in range. It’s usually a matter of a few days to a week.

At this point, I probably wouldn’t need the coaching app anymore, and could suffice with a standard calorie

tracker while keeping an eye on my weight.

I’ve struggled much of my life with bodyweight.

Well-meaning relatives who grew up on farms kept that framework as a guide to feeding me, a child of the much less active 80s. That led to some bad habits I had to shake later in life.

I’d lost a lot of weight with the keto diet a few years back. It’s hard to eat a lot (but not impossible) when you restrict an entire macronutrient. But research shows that when calories are equated, a ketogenic diet is no more or less effective than a balanced diet in weight loss.

All of us, myself included, are susceptible to convenient fictions from time to time. But at some point I usually have a “Come to Jesus” moment where I awaken to the truth.

One of those happened earlier this year when I realized I needed/wanted to lose some weight. I often told myself the fiction that, hey, I’m lifting weights so it’s fine that my body weight has been going up. That’s all part of the process!

That wasn’t entirely wrong, since to gain muscle during a hypertrophy phase you do generally need to take in more calories than you consume (with high protein levels). But when I came across Dr. Layne Norton’s diet coach app, I decided to give it a try. I was shocked by the slow and steady results.

Why drop bodyweight? The science is actually pretty clear: Even modest amounts of weight loss lead to improvements across many comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases and blood pressure. While I do believe in body positivity, I also trust the scientific process and the preponderance of research.

OK, with that out of the way, how did it work? Norton’s app is called the Carbon Diet Coach. There are others out now; Macrofactor, by the science geeks behind the Stronger by Science podcast I listen to, is another. Surely more will be coming on the market soon. But for the purposes of this story, I used Carbon.

Carbon is more than a calorie tracker — the app, and others like it, use the data you provide from the calories you eat to give you targets to meet to lose weight. Over time, it gets a better idea of the range of where your maintenance calorie range is.

It then gives you targets depending on your goal: lose weight, gain weight or maintain weight (and you can switch over time). The goal with weight loss is to lose weight very slowly, so it can be sustainable and minimize lean body mass loss (the opposite of The Biggest Loser approach, which has been shown to have disastrous results).

(There is strong evidence that when calories and protein are equated, that the keto diet is more fulfilling.) For me it worked, until I got sick of constantly scouring for something I could eat at a party or on a restaurant menu without breaking my ketosis.

By contrast, this approach (often called “if it fits your macros”) requires the least discipline of anything else I’ve tried. Tracking is annoying, but easier once you’ve entered most of the foods you regularly eat. I slipped up and overate a few times, but that’s not a big deal. I just got back on track the next day.

It’s not explicitly restrictive — I could eat a pop tart or candy bar — but it is restrictive in a broader sense, like a budget. You can eat what you want but it needs to fit your calorie budget. Chicken and veggies are a good bet; 10 candy bars are not.

Why am I writing this? I’ve had a lifelong obsession with nutrition, and I have that obsession to thank for my current science literacy — because I’ve made all the mistakes there are to make. Relying too much on one study (replication is a really important factor in scientific research because outlier results are common); not understanding the hierarchy of evidence (the very top is the systematic review paper, looking at all the research on a question with a standard for the highest level of research and research standards); listening to people making mechanistic arguments (they often turn out wrong when the hypotheses are actually tested through research).

The coaching app was the element I needed to achieve my goal of a healthier weight. I think it can help others who are also struggling, and I’ve heard from plenty of them. It’s not a miracle (though to one of my friends who tried the app on my suggestion felt like it was). You’ll have to put in the work. And for those not interested, hey that’s totally your choice. I’m not about telling people what to do.

For those who are, the “miracle” is that it removes the guesswork. After years of guessing, that’s more valuable to me than the small amount I paid to use the app.

Music has therapeutic benefits for health A local high school band director and a guidance counselor both cite music as an important component of good mental health for students.

D.C Everest High School band director Joe Finnegan says music encompasses a wide spectrum of emotions, can improve good feelings and make bad ones worse.

Finnegan encourages students to participate in band. He says the school band is often like a family that brings people together creating something bigger than possible with individual performance.

D.C. Everest guidance counselor Jenny Oosterhuis agrees and adds that dance can have the same positive impact on mental health as music. Combining movement with music, she says, is helpful to creating positive emotions.

Students view music as an outlet to express personal emotion and avert loneliness. Ruby Kowalski, a DC Everest sophomore, enjoys music as a mechanism to connect to her emotions.

Another student dealing with anxiety finds that music provides an opportunity to focus on positive emotions, not feel alone and relax.

A recent article published by the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California-Berkeley also confirms that music can help decrease anxiety.

Music with a slower tempo and low pitch can help calm some people down, even when they are in a high-stress situation, according to the article.

Researchers at Stanford University have found that rhythmic music may change how the brain functions and treat a range of neurological conditions including depression and ADHD. There is scientific evidence that music and other rhythmic simulations can alter mental states and possibly help heal damaged brains, according to Stanford research. Music with a strong beat can encourage fast brain waves resulting in more intense and faster thinking.

Students feeling stress, anxiety or depression can contact school guidance counselors and explore course offerings and extracurricular programs in music and dance.

Makenna Kampmann is a student at D.C. Everest High School. She produced this story for City Pages through its partnership in the student journalism program with the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service.

TV REV REViiEW

by B.C. Kowalski

Space Force is the comic relief you probably need right now Space Force Season 2 | Netflix | 7 episodes It’s hard to watch Steve Carell in Space Force (Season 2 now out on Netflix) without thinking of his character Michael Scott from The Office.

To be clear, they are very different characters. While Michael Scott was a perpetually lonely company man who imagined himself as an expert in comedy and management (and pretty much anything else he had the slightest

interest in), Carell’s Gen. Mark Naird is a serious military man who seems to constantly find himself in ridiculous situations. He’s more the straight man to a series cast with some of the funniest people in comedy.

But that said, some of his mannerisms seem very Michael Scott-like, and that’s not really a bad thing.

Space Force is about a newly formed branch of the military and the people in it. (In real life, Pres. Donald Trump’s administration launched Space Force and they are actively recruiting now.) Gen. Naird, at the head of this newest branch of the military, leads a team of scientists, PR agents and other military toughs under his command.

You couldn’t call it The Office in space because very little of the show takes place in space - the point of view is the command center on Earth. Instead of battling aliens and space plot devices of the week, Gen. Naird and crew are battling the press, a Congress that perpetually is cutting their budget and leaders of the other military branches who don’t even come close to taking them seriously.

But if all that sounds serious, this series is pure slapstick comedy. The half-hour show almost comes out as sketch comedy and the actors are up to the task. PR agent Tony Scarapiducci (played by the hilarious Ben Schwartz) is basically Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Rec, though this version shows a little more heart and concern for other people. He’s just as funny here as he was in Parks and Rec. Dr. Adrian Mallory (John Malkovich) serves as the

perfect lead scientist foil to Naird’s military sensibilities.

Naird’s domineering wife (played by Lisa Kudrow) calls the family shots from jail, and his daughter is the perfect mix of perpetually bored teenager growing into an interesting person before our eyes. She really comes to life in the second season.

Tawny Newsome plays Capt. Angela Ali, ultimately the first black woman in space, quite well as she fends off the amorous advances of scientist Dr. Chan Kaifang (Jimmy O. Yang).

Carell, who also produced the show, put together an all-star cast for this show, and it’s not wasted. The scenes between Schwartz, Carell and Mallory are some of the standouts, and plenty of smaller roles are played by folks you’ll recognize. The name Diedrich Bader probably doesn’t ring a bell but he’s one of those character actors you’ll recognize immediately, with an IMBD page the length of a short novel (most notably as a regular on The Drew Carey show).

Netflix announced recently that it’s raising its prices again. It’ll need more shows like Space Force to continue keeping its customers. But Space Force is a step in the right direction.

Tickets start at $70. Grandtheater.org.

Bridge & Wolak Friday 2/25 | Lucille Tack Center for the Arts, Spencer A button accordion and a clarinet. They aren’t the flashiest of instruments.

The Station Friday 2/25, Whitewater Music Hall This show was all set to go down in early January until nearly all the band members fell ill and had to cancel, something that was starting to become more commonplace amongst Wausau events. But now they’re back!

Headed by the duo of musicians — Jody and Matt Duranceau — with plenty of experience in the music scene in the Wausau and Madison area, the Bluegrass/Americana act features drummer Lucas Fisher from Substyle, Bassist Jenilee Klish who also plays with Irene’s Garden and Raevynn Tae Hollman on fiddle. The group, now called The Station, is taking on Whitewater Music Hall with their blend of originals and covers. 8 pm.

After a financial POA springs, the person you have nominated to handle your affairs - known as your agent - now is allowed to do what you would have otherwise done had you not become incapacitated. With any financial POA, you can give the agent wide latitude to act on your behalf, including managing your day-to-day affairs, handling your investments, filing your taxes, collecting your mail, and operating your business. But you can also set up a financial POA so that the agent’s power to act is limited to particular activities, such as paying your monthly bills or selling a particular piece of real estate.

In addition, a financial POA can be revoked in the future. The document should specify the exact language for revocation. Any signed financial POA is automatically revoked when you die.

For help with your estate plan, contact our office.

THE BUZZ

by Gina Cornell

Weight Loss Lab

Ruppel Chiropractic added a weight loss lab that helps give clients specific advice to drop the pounds Dr. Steve Ruppel holds up a pretty realistic plastic representation of what five pounds of fat looks like.

“You’ve lost three of these,” he says smiling at me. I smile back, pretty darn pleased with myself. Fifteen pounds have fallen off and this is the first time that I’ve been able to work on weight loss, athletic performance, and fueling with scientific data about my body rather than just throwing the proverbial spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks.

And it has been nothing short of amazing.

“When we did the resting metabolic rate test on you, it showed exactly what your resting metabolic rate was, not only what that exact number is for you, but whether you are burning fats or carbohydrates at rest,” says Ruppel. He hands me the data pages from my testing. It turns out I am a really good fat burner but my metabolism is on the low end. “Everyone’s going to be a little bit different and it’s a better way to have success with what you’re trying to accomplish,” he says of the testing.

Knowing those numbers helps me focus my caloric intake better, along with understanding at what heart rate I need to stay at while running or walking to burn more fat and when that rate changes, where I shift to burning more carbs.

An athlete and health advocate himself, Ruppel decided to open the Weight Loss Lab inside his practice, Ruppel Chiropractic at 3807 Schofield Avenue in Weston, to help a wide range of folks, from people looking to lose weight as well as those wanting to know the detailed metabolic numbers for athletic endeavors.

“When we look at weight loss and weight loss programs, it seems that there’s almost a one-size-fits-all sort of approach,” he says. “I think in some ways it can be successful in the short term, but it’s gimmicky, so it doesn’t have any sustainability there.”

When a client starts with Ruppel, he likes to have them spend at least a

week writing down what they eat and when they eat it. “It gives me an idea if they’re eating a candy bar by 10 in the morning that they’re probably not getting enough energy that lasts them to lunch,” he says.

Working one-on-one with Ruppel is usually a 12-week process. “That is where we can do really well with fat loss, trying to preserve as much muscle as we possibly can.”

Ruppel adds in the metabolic testing to encourage people to also add in exercise if they aren’t already active. “So if we are going to exercise, we look at what’s going to give you the most bang for your buck,” he says of the testing numbers. “There are some people who have no interest in exercise, which is totally fine, but we have to account for that.”

Ruppel uses the PNOĒ machine, which analyzes 12 biomarkers in your breath, measuring heart, lung, and cellular fitness, how “fast” your metabolism is, your fat-burning efficiency, and how your breath affects your posture and brain, according to the company’s website. The resting metabolic rate test is roughly 15 minutes and the actual treadmill test takes approximately 15-20 minutes, says Ruppel. With personal parameter checks, the entire process takes about an hour.

“The two things start off with the scale first, and then we do the resting metabolic rate test,” he says. “We have to know what their resting metabolic rate is, how much fat versus carbs if they’re burning at rest.”

keep it off? “I don’t have a secret formula for that like, there’s a point where everyone is accountable to themselves… if someone has a habit of going to Kwik Trip and getting a box of Glazers and a Coke every single morning,” he says. “Maybe they need to break that cycle.”

Ruppel talks about the importance of diet with his clients as well as portion control and being mindful of what they eat. By the end of the program, his clients know how to meal prep and what it takes to look ahead and plan for the day. “Because, if you don’t plan, the vending machine’s always gonna win,” says Ruppel. “Those Glazers at Kwik Trip are always gonna win.”
