Alere Wellbeing Launches Weight Talk

Alere Wellbeing Launches Weight Talk®, a Personalized Weight Loss Program for Sustained Behavior Change











Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

Alere Wellbeing (formerly Free & Clear) announced today the launch of Weight Talk®, a new behavioral weight loss program designed for employers looking to mitigate obesity-related healthcare costs and productivity losses.

Employers have seen steady increases in prescription drug costs, many of which are due to obesity and the growing number of obesity-related conditions. Today, for instance, obese adults spend 2 to 4 times more per year on prescription drugs than non-obese adults, and the five most common classes of drugs used by adults in the U.S. can be related to obesity.

“Behavioral weight loss programs have been proven to considerably improve the most common healthcare cost drivers: hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, gallstones, sleep apnea, and infertility,” says Dr. Jennifer Lovejoy, President of the Obesity Society and Vice President of Clinical Support at Alere Wellbeing. Moreover, the findings of a recent meta-analysis show that personal behavioral coaching resulted in significantly more weight loss than stand-alone web-based interventions.

Alere Wellbeing’s new program, Weight Talk®, is a personal coaching program that guides participants in setting realistic weight loss goals and helps them develop the skills needed to achieve these goals. Through bi-weekly phone coaching sessions, supplemented by web-based learning, tracking, and social support, participants learn how the decisions they make each day can impact their weight and how small, simple changes can lead to major physical and psychological improvements. With the help of a coach, program participants develop personalized nutrition and physical activity plans. They then learn to master The 8 Essential Practices, which are a set of behavioral focus areas that address such topics as body image, emotional eating, sleep quality, stress, time management, environmental control, and cognitive dissonance.

“What makes this program unique is its emphasis on the importance of real human interaction for sustained behavior change,” says Sharen Ross, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Alere Wellbeing. “While other companies are moving rapidly towards purely web-based programs for weight loss, ostensibly to reach more people at a lower cost, we’re sticking to our behavioral coaching roots and what the evidence says works best for achieving sustainable results. We believe that employers will respond favorably to Weight Talk® – a program that is designed for organizations serious about measurable weight loss that leads to a positive financial return.”

Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss Announces New Program For Those Thinking of Bariatric Surgery or Lap Band Surgery

Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss Announces New Program For Those Thinking of Bariatric Surgery or Lap Band Surgery











Stacey lost over 100 pounds on the Diet Doc Weight Loss Program and avoided bariatric surgery!


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2011

Diet Doc has created a new program specifically for people considering bariatric surgery or lap band surgery.

Many people come to Diet Doc Weight Loss who failed with past diets. This is because weight loss is a medical condition requiring a weight loss doctor to manage the weight loss. This type of training is not something a regular doctor or even a bariatric surgeon understands. This is specialized training in nutrition, the benefits of vitamins and supplements to name a few. Weight loss physician training is unique and not taught in medical school explains, Julie Wright, President of Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss.

Julie shared with us a true story of a bariatric surgeon who called Diet Doc as she was looking to add a documented diet to her practice. People must demonstrate that they have tried another diet and failed before insurance will approve the bariatric surgery or lap band surgery. When the doctor learned that all people on the Diet Doc Weight Loss Program would lose at least 1/2 pound to 1 pound per day, she said Diet Doc wasn’t what she was looking for as she would lose the millions she made doing bariatric and lap band surgeries.

This is the problem that people are left to resort to dangerous surgeries, when we can help anyone who comes our way. Diet Doc can handle the problem situations where people have failed over and over again with other types of diets. Each person’s health history is reviewed by our weight loss doctor and then a customized, personalized diet is created along with a master diet and two clinically proven to burn fat support products into a program that is highly effective and safe. Diet Doc offers a guarantee as well. If your diet is followed and you don’t lose weight, you are refunded. It doesn’t get any better than that reports Wright.

Diet Doc only uses prescription HCG which is 100% pure HCG and should only be bought after a doctor evaluates your health history to make sure you are a good candidate to take this medication. The reason for a health evaluation is not because HCG causes concerning side effects, but there are health conditions that would disqualify someone from receiving. Those are: severe liver and kidney disease; prior/active cancer; and certain blood clotting disorders.

Once the doctor approves you to receive HCG, an individual diet is formulated for each person based on their health history, age, gender, lifestyle and preferences. Example, someone who works out would be given a diet higher in protein than someone who has a desk job and doesn’t exercise. People who indicate on their new patient paperwork answers that lead the doctor to believe there could be underlying blood sugar issues, will be asked to remove fruit from their diet as any sugar whatsoever could cause the weight loss to slow down by half. People whose answers indicate they might have an underlying thyroid condition might be given a prescription-grade, natural, thyroid support as part of their program. The list goes on…..

Diet Doc then combines the personalized diet along with our master diet and clinically proven weight loss shakes and weight loss oil (to make salad dressing and for cooking) into the most powerful diet program in America today, capable of shaving up to 1 pound per day. We guarantee that people will lose weight on the Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss Program!

This could very well be your last diet ever!

Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center Offers Virtual Gastric Band Weight Loss Hypnosis Program

Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center Offers Virtual Gastric Band Weight Loss Hypnosis Program











Virtual Gastric Band helps with weight loss


Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) October 15, 2011

Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis Weight Loss was developed by British clinical hypnotherapist Sheila Granger. In clinical trials, this weight loss method had an amazing 95 percent success rate with 21 out of 22 clients reporting success, collectively losing around 190 pounds during the trial. That success continues to this day as more hypnotists and hypnotherapists have started offering the program to their clients. Although rapid weight loss can and will happen with some, averaging seven pounds in the first week is the norm, the emphasis is on a slow, steady and healthy weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week over time. The sessions will condition the clients’ subconscious for healthier eating practices, breaking bad eating habits and unhealthy feelings towards food.

“What I love about Virtual Gastric Band is that it’s not a diet. You can eat whatever you want, but because your subconscious believes a gastric band has decreased your stomach capacity, you will feel full on much smaller amounts of food. Additionally, clients are conditioned to pay attention to their body’s signals and will feel compelled to stop as soon as they have had enough to eat,” says David Allen, founder of Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center.

Services offered by Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center include stress reduction, relief for fibromyalgia symptoms, eliminating bad habits, improving sports performance, weight loss hypnosis, improved attention and study habits and more. Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center uses hypnosis as a tool to help clients improve their lives and achieve their goals.

For more information on Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center, call (408) 331-9116 or visit them online at http://www.sunnyvalehypnosiscenter.com. Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center is located at 121 W. Washington Avenue #215 in Sunnyvale, CA.

About Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center

Founded by Consulting Hypnotist David Allen in April 2011, Sunnyvale Hypnosis Center uses hypnosis as a technique to help clients lose weight, stop smoking, manage stress, relieve fibromyalgia symptoms, improve attention issues and study habits and much more. They serve Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Mountain View.

Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program Announce a Unique HCG Phase 2 Maintenance Program and Difference Between Homeopathic HCG Drops

Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program Announce a Unique HCG Phase 2 Maintenance Program and Difference Between Homeopathic HCG Drops












Puyallup, WA (PRWEB) February 10, 2011

Diet Doc HCG (Phase 2) Weight Maintenance

Dr. Shelton, medical director for Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program reports that most hcg diet and weight loss programs are inherently unsafe due to restricting daily calorie intake to only 500 calories per day. Furthermore, such extreme restriction in calorie intake often results in significant weight gain once the diet is discontinued. We have found by completing the hcg phase 2 diet that the weight loss will do best and stay off when following the hcg diet plan from start to finish according to Dr. Shelton. The Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Doctors report that they have created a unique hcg phase 2 maintenance protocol to help people succeed longterm with their weight loss.

Diet Doc Weight Loss reports that many online sites make unqualified and unsubstantiated claims on the effectiveness of the hcg weight loss protocol. They claim that patients are losing 2 pounds of fat per day, or that hcg is a permanent cure for obesity. Neither of these outrageous claims is true and in most states in this country making fraudulent medical claims is not only unethical, but illegal.

Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss explains that it is not true that all hcg diets are created equally. Homeopathic hcg drops are definitely not the same as prescription hcg. Hcg drops in liquid form are never prescription strength and very different than the Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Protocol. Furthermore, the majority of hcg sold online directly to the public is either not true prescription strength or it is being obtained and sold illegally. The FDA states that buying prescription drugs online is illegal. Prescription hcg is a medication and as such should always be prescribed by a qualified medical professional. Diet Doc Hcg Weight Loss Program has a hcg phase 2 diet.

One of the important ways the Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program stands out from other diets and weight loss programs is how it emphasizes and focuses on weight maintenance or commonly known as the hcg phase 2. The second hcg phase is an important steps to take for your health once your weight loss goals have been achieved.

Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Programs report to have treated thousands of people who choose their weight loss protocol as it’s the modern day version of the original Dr. Simeons hcg protocol. With dozens of locations nationwide and a team of physicians who provide Skype doctor visits (in states that allow), they are able to modernize the old hcg protocol to one that does not restrict caloric intake to 500 calories, but ranges from 850 to 1000. They also found that sudden stop of their Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Program is not advised, but rather, taper off for 2 weeks while adding back foods that were restricted (but still healthy) on the diet while weighing daily. The Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss Doctors knowledge about the hcg phase 2 maintenance protocol is a strong maintenance program to help you succeed longterm.

We have found by completing the hcg phase 2 diet that the weight loss will do best and stay off when following the hcg diet plan from start to finish according to Dr. Shelton.

Diet Doc HCG Weight Loss goes on to explain that much evidence now shows the health risks associated with weight cycling or yo-yo dieting. The goal of any diet or weight loss program should be to lose the weight and keep the weight off long term. A successful program is one that is sustainable and promotes health and wellness. Being able to fit into your tight jeans for a couple of weeks or having more energy for a month is not sufficient. Looking great two years from now and living 5-10 years longer is want we all really want.

*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCG–a drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.

Ithaca Area Wellness Program Delivers World-Class Results; Body Mind Restoration Retreats Celebrates 18th Season of Restorative Health

Ithaca Area Wellness Program Delivers World-Class Results; Body Mind Restoration Retreats Celebrates 18th Season of Restorative Health










Ithaca, NY (PRWEB) April 25, 2010

In a world of promised quick fixes and diet fads, one little program has been delivering consistently remarkable results. Body Mind Restoration Retreats, located on the picturesque 60-acre grounds of the Ithaca Zen Center, began in 1993 with one 12-day retreat hosting eight participants. Since its humble beginning, the center has been growing in reputation and popularity and currently hosts seven retreat programs with over 300 in attendance.

“Common symptoms such as excess weight, fatigue or anxiety are indicators that the body is out of balance and the mind is not at ease,” says program founder Marcia Radin. “Our retreats are designed to efficiently cleanse the body of toxic accumulations while providing complete and easy-to-assimilate nutrition.”

Marcia Radin, a long-time Ithaca area resident, studied the raw foods protocol with Ann Wigmore and continued on to receive a Master’s Degree with a concentration in complementary medicine. The retreat program she designed consists of an all raw food diet, including wheat grass and vegetable juices, exercise, yoga, colon care, meditation (including instruction), swimming, saunas and classes on healthy lifestyles.

“This is not a spa experience,” adds Radin, “it is a comprehensive program that introduces a way of living that leads to sustainable weight loss and good health. The combination of a living foods diet, exercise, colon care, health education classes, yoga, meditation and more allow a deep experience of well being that can not be found elsewhere.”

The retreats have helped thousands of people maintain good health and assisted their healing from a wide range of chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune problems, chronic fatigue, migraines, weight issues and more. Several medical clinics now refer their patients to the retreats to recover from chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Anyone interested in additional information or program dates can visit the center online at http://www.bodymindretreats.com or contact Body Mind Restoration Retreats directly at 607-277-7779 or info(at)bodymindretreats(dot)com.

Clean up Your Act with a 7 Day Detox Program at a New Weight Loss & Detox Retreat in Devon, UK

Clean up Your Act with a 7 Day Detox Program at a New Weight Loss & Detox Retreat in Devon, UK










Devon, UK (PRWEB) June 2, 2007

We all know that too much caffeine, chocolate and rich food, along with too little rest and pure water can take their toll on our bodies; leaving us tired, irritable and emotional.

Most of us have tried cutting out sugar for a while, and having hot water instead of cappuccino, but how long before we crack and reach for a stimulant.

The seven-day detox program includes a juice diet, twice daily colonics, morning meditation, afternoon yoga, talks and massage in the idyllic Devon countryside. The program is designed to give you the most efficient bodily cleanse and can help you kick coffee, get rid of Candida, lose weight and calm Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Emotionally it can help you to de-stress and relax.

Sura Detox Retreats are held in a secluded and truly beautiful location; which offers peace, tranquility and where much of the land is still used for grazing. The farmhouse and converted cottages are listed as English Tourist Board five-star accommodation.

Their venue boasts endless walks through woods and meadows for the energetic, and a beautiful heated indoor swimming pool and pine sauna for those in need of deep relaxation.

The team put their professional five-stars into keeping things friendly and informal, while informative and real, rather than pampering and pandering. Amida, Kate, Dao and Benita each bring their unique qualities to give you the tools to engage more fully with the detox process, and the tricks to keep it light and fun.

Their wealth of experience, support and encouragement is offered throughout the

Journey, Which can be a simple, weight loss cleanse, or an intense, life-changing detox, depending upon your want and ability. Sura Detox Retreats are designed for first-time fasters as well as those who have done it before elsewhere, and of course, returning clients.

The daily program is centered around the ancient principles of fasting, and yoga, with the very modern twists of colonics and ground-breaking nutritional talks.

Although the program can look busy at first glance, it quickly becomes apparent – from the relaxed setting and friendly crew, that everything on the schedule is optional, and actually there is as much time for yourself as you would like.

The greatest anxiety for most first-timers is, of course, the self-administered colonics, which are, like everything else in the program, entirely optional. But after the first time around, it becomes clear that they are very simple and safe to use, and even prove to be quite relaxing and enjoyable. Their major detoxifying effect is greatly aided by the steady flow of supplements and juice that come around five times per day. An entirely different affair than one-off administrations that remove mostly yesterday’s food. Years of old harbored matter can be eliminated in days, and the common ailments associated with them shed from the body.

See http://www.suradetox.com/why_colonics.php for more information

The yoga holds a lot of attraction for many, and keeps them moving during the fast, which can otherwise become a very lethargic process.

The nutritional education that happens during the daily talks takes the effect of retreat spilling over into one’s life, allowing you to integrate the experience and the understandings into practical changes. The benefits of these can often seen and felt by those around you, and many of our referrals are the friends of retreatants who are just so obviously changed for the better.

The new routine of the colonics, juices and Yoga, pace the experience and very soon the group relaxes into this slow, gentle pattern. Unwinding the body from the crushing pressures of their daily grind, and a whole new person often emerges.

Our life coach and consultant is on hand at all times to mop-up the emotional detox that comes up for some people. A fantastic resource for those low moments. Each client has time at the beginning of the week for allergy testing and food intolerances, and often find the reasons for some discomfort before the fast even begins. Later in the week, a further appointment will take you deep into your opening process, and allow the administration of Homeopathy to resolve greater life issues.

It is up to the individual to allow themselves to slip into a low gear and enjoy this rejuvenating pace, or to remain connected to the world with newspapers and the TVs in their cottages.

You may be arriving with hopes of something as profound as inner transformation, a physical shift in your health, or as mundane as a little weight loss; whatever your reason for coming you are bound to get all three… And much more…

For some it is a breeze, a rest, a literal 7 day walk in the woods, while for others it is a grueling time of inner process and facing untouched emotions; forging ones new life in the fires of the old, so to speak. But most sit in between, having a few off days, clear and sparky evenings, sleepy afternoons and foggy mornings; nothing too dramatic.

The experience of a week without food, and without hunger is enough to make us redress what food means to us, and our need for it. Something happens during this time that makes us much more open to opportunities, to hear and feel new things, and entertain changes in our lives realistically. Without the suppressive and distracting qualities of food that we hide so much behind. This is sure to be a week to be remembered for the rest of your life – for all the right reasons. It is an truly empowering experience.

Detoxification Program Expanded at NIHA, National Integrated Health Associates

Detoxification Program Expanded at NIHA, National Integrated Health Associates











Washington D.C. (Vocus/PRWEB) April 18, 2011

National Integrated Health Associates, NIHA, an integrative medical and dental center located in Washington, D.C. has developed a comprehensive Detoxification Program to help remove toxins from the body and encourage lifestyle changes that may enhance the healing process of patients. The comprehensive program combines an initial detoxification questionnaire to assess the needs of the patient, recommendations based on practitioner’s findings, on-going coaching support, natural supplements and detoxification therapies available at the NIHA center, and monitoring of progress during the detoxification process.

Life in our modern world can challenge the body to maintain a natural state. Processed foods, chemicals in personal care products and the environment, exposure to electronics and heavy metals may all contribute to a body burdened with unnatural substances and toxins that disrupt our health. These chemicals challenge the immune system and therefore our health status. A medically supervised program of natural detoxification will cleanse the systems of the body, ridding it of toxins. This may help to enhance the immune mechanism and the reparative, anti-aging faculties of the body. Detoxification (cleansing the body of the bad stuff), good nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes to improve health habits will help on the path to wellness.

Working with an integrative physician, the first step is an assessment of health habits. The detoxification program will augment the integrative medicine center’s practice by assisting patients with the tools to assess their environment, diet, lifestyle, toxic burden, and dental or emotional burdens that may affect healing. Smoking, consuming alcohol, chronic illness, poor sleep habits, poor diet, and exposure to chemicals, electronics or mold can impede healing. Evaluation of the assessment will help the physician create an individualized plan for detoxification. Specialized testing may also be used to assess toxic burdens in the body. Cleaning up the environment and lifestyle and natural cleansing of the systems of the body comprise a basic detoxification program.

A health coach is available to help the patient start the process, answer questions, and coordinate with the practitioner as needed. As the process of detoxifying may be done gradually over a period of time, the health coach’s involvement will offer support and education, encourage patient compliance, and monitor the detoxification process. Patients will have different needs based on health status and comfort level with detox therapies. NIHA offers specialized detoxification therapies such as colon hydrotherapy, far infrared sauna, aqua chi footbath, and steam bath. The health coach is a guide to improve and streamline the process, and may act as an intermediary between the patient and practitioner, thus making the detoxification program efficient and affordable.
