• Weight Loss Phase- Ideal weight is achieved through a mildly ketogenic diet of balanced carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Ketosis is the state whereby a small amount of protein spills into the urine. In this state the body is burning its own fat for energy. All hunger and cravings disappear. The Ultra-Lite packets are a perfect between meal snack that balances blood sugar and provides necessary nutrients for optimal body composition. This is a food-based program as distinguished from plans that utilizes shakes or bars.http://www.ultralite.info/

• Maintenance Phase- In this final phase the person is ready to embrace a healthy, vibrant lifestyle that wil be maintained indefinitely. Periodic coaching session and an extensive guide serve to create an ongoing reality that truly is Weight Loss for Life. www.weightlossforlife.info/

• Hormonal Regulation The pervasive reality of plastics, pesticides and petrochemical has resulted in a preponderance of xenoestrogens (toxic estrogens) which can cause a multitude of hormonal and reproductive problems ranging from PMS to menopause to depression. Nutritional regulation of estrogen metabolism is proving to be a valuable adjunct or alternative to hormone replacement.

• Inflammation Control Inflammatory processes are a rampant medical problem in todays world due to poor dietary choices, stress, insufficent rest, and deficiencies in omega-3 fatty acids. Inflammation is ideally addressed at the level of causation, since the symptoms are the body's warning signals of imbalance. Diseases like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, arthritis, bursitis, and headaches all may be helped. In addition to acupuncture, nutritional support to reverse inflammatory processes provides long-lasting relief (without side-effects) as well as increased function, longevity and quality of life.
