Testimonial:

As any relative skeptic would be when looking at a box of pills and drops and hearing you can get to your ideal weight in a short time span I said, "Yeah right." Plus the idea of only eating close to 500 calories a day seems extremely unrealistic and making all those trips to the grocery store to buy all those fruits and vegetables was not very conducive to my schedule. However, the staff at Heartland Chiropractic and Wellness Center coached me through the initial suspicious literature from the web and my own thoughts to put me in the "right" frame of mind to take a chance.

Well, I am living proof that it can happen. I am now on my 24th day of this program and I have dropped, per the scale, 22lbs with almost 15 of those pounds being pure fat! I would have never believed it if I wouldn't be living the experience right now. My goal weight is out there and now I know I can reach it and have the strength to maintain it. Yes, adjusting your body and schedule to eating "healthy" everyday took a little getting used to. I am one of those busy working moms that rarely eats breakfast, grabs food on the go at lunch or didn't eat lunch and then stuff my face until 8 or 9 o'clock. Big No-No's! Oh, and I can't forget the old  "let me finish that for you" routine because I don't want anything to go to waste. My family is not huge on left over's so that was my "out". Bad, bad habits and hard to break but the NutrihCG program gives you healthy options and keeps you motivated to try new variations everyday. Seeing the scale drop on a daily basis is something that I have never experienced before but it is amazing how it can boost your spirits.

Some of the aspects of this program that I have benefited the most from are, family and friend support, the hCG cookbook, organization and planning of meals for the family versus everyone on their own and determination. Will power is so much easier to have if you see immediate results and with this program you do! I have also found that an additional supplement called Mitochondrial Resuscitate also helps control my hunger during those stressed times when food was naturally a comfort. My skin is clear and soft, I am resting better at night, I don't ever hit that 2:30pm slump during the day anymore. I have energy all day now! One of the best parts is putting on those clothes that were just to darn tight before and have them look fantastic now. Hearing my family say "You look great mom" and "no, let's skip the pizza night and have seafood and veggies instead" helps me realize they are there to support me.

Going in weekly for my BIA is very beneficial too. Seeing those percentages change gives me extra motivation to keep going. In fact, I keep the print out with me everyday and if I feel a little discouraged I grab it and look at that sliding dotted line. Thanks to the hcwellness staff for their helpful pieces of information and support, couldn't do it without you! I'm looking forward to continuing my journey, accomplishing my goal and maintaining it. Here I come summer! - Oh, my I can't remember the last time I actually wanted to be in shorts!

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)

Bioelectical Impedance Alalysis, or BIA is considered one of the most reliable methods of screening body fat.

-----YOUR BIA TEST WILL DETERMINE:

u -body composition body mass index (BMI)

u -basal metabolic rate (calories needed)

u -cellular health phase angle/tissue health: the first marker of health change before lab tests

In conventional BIA, a person is weighed, then height, age, gender and weight or other physical characteristics such as body type, physical activity level, ethnicity, etc. are entered in a computer. While the person is lying down, electrodes are attached to various parts of the body and a small electric signal is circulated. Simply explained, BIA measures the impedance or resistance to the signal as it travels through the water that is found in muscle and fat. The more muscle a person has, the more water their body can hold. The greater the amount of water in a person's body, the easier it is for the current to pass through it. The more fat, the more resistance to the current. BIA is safe and it does not hurt. In fact, the signal used in body fat monitors can not be felt at all either by an adult or child. Initial BIA, plus Nutrition Consultation $50 _______ Follow-up BIA test $20

Doctors, Valerie Skow and Juliet O’Donnell provide educated, individualized recommendations for our patients as part of their overall healthcare. Many patients find they are lacking in guidance of how to reach their goals and choose to delve deeper into common concerns:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)	Diabetes
Constipation	Weight Gain
Chronic Fatigue	Joint Pain/Arthritis
Menopausal or PeriMenepausal symptoms	Depression

HCWC offers an in-depth examination of your daily habits, health history and short and long-term goals to resolve the physiological anomaly(ies) with a specific regimen that is practical, achievable and affordable.

These symptoms CAN be addressed, and do NOT have to be expectations of age or a stage in life!

Medications may relieve symptoms but do not treat the source of the condition. Natural, or nutracuetical, treatments focus on the cause of symptoms or your condition and look to provide optimum support for an imbalance or stressed organ system. Often medications have harmful side effects or cause damage to other organs in small doses over time. Nutracuetical treatments provide the body with the building blocks necessary for your body to heal on it’s own. Nutracuetical treatments are specific to your body as an individual rather than treating a condition. After a thorough history, specific health goals are reached by using natural, clinical grade supplements at a dose and frequency targeted to get results.

Many conditions/symptoms that our clinic helps includes: fatigue, inability to change weight, increase in allergies, joint and muscle pain, headaches, frequent illnesses, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes management, high cholesterol or blood pressure, ADD/ADHD, Asthma, acid reflux, difficulty sleeping, Irritable Bowel Disease, Infertility, Depression, Hormonal changes,  and more conditions that you can call and question us at  Heartland Chiropractic and Wellness Center.
