What is Biochemistry? Each part of every living being is biochemically connected.
Biochemistry is at the heart of life science. It is a fascinating, diverse and sprawling discipline; which makes it near impossible to pigeon-hole or define concisely. Many look upon biochemistry as a science that underpins and explains the essential processes of life, impacting on:

      • Biotechnology – Bioinformatics – Cell biology and signalling
      • Development and disease – Energy and metabolism – Genetics

What is the main influence in obesity and weight gain? Is it the genetics or is it the environment? The question is a very important one to answer, since if it was 100% genetic, no amount of diet and exercise would be able to help, if it was 100% environment, then everyone with weight problems could be blamed for being irresponsible and lazy. However, turns out that the reality is not black and white but rather in between, and nowadays we have a lot more information and understanding on the subject.

When Bruce Wayne asked me to join Armageddon Weight Loss, my first thought was to find a polite way to decline his request, as I had no intention associating myself with pseudoscience, claims without proper peer review, or promoting magic concoctions that would cure obesity and build six packs abs. Bruce, however, explained to me that Armageddon Weight Loss is an organization that believes in science and intend to educate people about importance of rigorously peer reviewed scientific facts, facts which are based on validated scientific experiment and published in journals for anyone wishing to verify the claim can do so. I reluctantly agreed to join Armageddon, and now I am happy that I did so. Bruce and his Armageddon have kept their promises.

Dr. Maida, PhD Molecular Neurology,  Adjunct Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy. Dr. Maida is a highly respected scientist in her field. Among her many talents, she enjoys teaching and developing young doctors at the University or Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. She is also a professional tennis player and also a practitioner of Armageddon Weight Loss and and one of our many success story.  We are thankful to Dr. Maida for helping us to further our understanding in the area of neuroscience, particularly in the area of advancing our knowledge and understanding about food addiction. As one of our many contributors, Dr. Maida has been helping us to implement our findings to better serve our clients and advance the science in this area.

123 Physics is considered the most basic science because all other sciences are derived from it. It serves as a foundation for other sciences to be built on. Scientists often use physical principles in reference to their own experiments, even if not in the field in physics. Understanding basic physics will definitely help you lose weight and keep it off. Dr. Sonnenberg graduated from Georgia Tech with a 4.0 GPA. He will be your guide to help you better understand the laws of physics and how they govern weight loss weight gain and exercise.

Dr. Khlighatyan PhD is our 4th Neuroscientist  on our team. While many other program may have overlooked the power of neuroscience specific to weight loss and fitness we have invested heavily in this area because we believe it is critical to our clients’ success. As part of our continued research into better understanding weight loss fitness science we are constantly trying to learn and understand how neuroscience can change the way we approach weight loss and fitness science. Dr. Khlighatyan will help to prove us with a better understanding and to continue to provide new research in these areas and we welcome him about our time and we thank him for his contribution.

Dr. Nogueira, PhD Pharmacology & Bioscience also has a background in neuroscience. Part of Dr. Nogueira’s contribution will be in the area of pharmacology with a focus on drug and food addiction. Part of our new pioneering approach specific to weight loss fitness science is to investigate the possibility of food addiction and to incorporate our findings into our weight loss fitness program. While we have already established and documented some amount of work in this area, we are continuing to expand our knowledge and in many cases pioneering the knowledge base in this area of weight loss fitness science. We thank Dr. Nogueira for his contribution and his continued work in this area on our behalf.
