Our Principles

Individual Programs

Initially, the Wellness Center dealt exclusively with heart and circulation problems since that was my area of expertise. It soon became apparent that all of the patients with heart, circulation problems, diabetes, angina, hypertension, cholesterol and triglyceride problems needed dietary and nutritional counseling. Many were overweight.

Patients coming to the Wellness Center are evaluated on an individualized basis because there is no "one solution fits all" when it comes to health. In today's toxic world there are an increasing number of patients with fatigue or "just not feeling well". The center has expanded its services to evaluate these individuals. Comprehensive nutritional, viral, yeast, allergy and parasite testing are performed.

Diet and Weight Management

The dietary approach at the Wellness Center is unique and is centered around "Bioindividuality" or simply there is no one nutritional program for everyone. Scientific research and medical findings have now made it quite clear that many patients with heart disease, related problems and weight concerns have an insulin related problem. Dietary management at the Wellness Center utilizes an insulin regulating diet. Frequently the Carbohydrate Addicts Program designed by Doctors Richard and Rachael Heller is also utilized. The primary concepts of the dietary management program are:

	The use of an insulin regulating diet
	Individualized nutritional consultation and programs
	Removal of food sensitivities
	Parasite, yeast and Candida evaluation
	Detoxification
	The use of metabolically enhancing nutrients
	Individualized exercise program
