Interested in learning more about our 12-week Weight Loss/Lifestyle Change programs?

Wondering how a program might work for you?

TODAY'S BLOG COMES FROM A PATIENT'S OWN WORDS AFTER HER RECENT
“12-WEEK TRANSFORMATION”.

“The program was personalized to fit my needs, concerns. Once I learned how and what to eat I have been able to continue almost automatically. It works because it changes how you see food and gives you a healthy change, instead of yo-yo diets or a fad diet that you won't be able to do long-term.

It is a lifestyle change, one that my body needed. I am able to pinpoint which foods make me feel sick and which ones add weight, and eliminate them.”  EL, Age 36.

In just 12 weeks, she lost:

28 POUNDS
7 INCHES OFF HER WAIST 
4.5 INCHES OFF HER HIPS
3.75 INCHES OFF HER CHEST
3.25 INCHES OFF HER ARM

 And she even took a three-week vacation during her program!

Looking for a personalized approach to your healthcare? I use an Integrative/Functional Medicine approach with my patients to treat a variety of chronic medical conditions. Treating symptoms and chronic disease simply by prescribing medication doesn't address the underlying factors that contributed your problems in the first place, and is not likely to provide lasting results. My approach involves getting "under the surface" to find and correct underlying imbalances.

“Detox Jump-Start” - Five Tips for Success


1. GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO PREPARE.

Take time to look the kit over and become familiar with the diet plan. Make a shopping list and stock your kitchen for success!

2. IF YOU ARE CONSTIPATED, START THE COLON-X AND DRAINAGE PRODUCTS FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE DETOX START, RATHER THAN TWO.

You should never detox if you are constipated, you need to be able to “take the garbage out”! Ensure adequate bowel movements prior to starting.

3. IF YOU DRINK COFFEE, CUT BACK SLOWLY.

Stopping coffee “cold turkey” can cause headaches! Cut back slowly, down to 1/2-1 cup in the AM. If you desire, eventually stop completely or switch to decaf.

4. KEEP IN MIND - YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL WELL THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE DETOX PROGRAM. 

This is common. As your body begins to detox, you may experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, mental fog or irritability. Don’t worry! After a day or two these symptoms should subside. Drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest.

5. PLAN FOR LONGER THAN SIX DAYS!

While the kit says “6-Day Detox”, you will get more benefits if you extend your program. We ask clients to try to commit to a minimum of two weeks. With the exception of OptiCleanse GHI, all products in the kit contain a 30 day supply! As you wrap up your program, make note of how you are feeling, and consider re-introducing food groups one at a time. Allow about three days before re-introducing new foods, and monitor how you feel for 1-3 days after reintroduction. This will allow you to identify food sensitivities you may not have been aware of.
