Congratulations! You have just taken the first step to getting healthy and losing weight.

Getting healthy is the key to the success of any diet plan. You have no doubt heard that you should lose weight so you can be healthier, because obesity is a health risk causing heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and stroke. Right? People have been pushing the idea that fat directly causes these other problems.

This is not true!

I found it to be just the opposite. You need to be healthy first before you can actually lose weight. In other words, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, stroke AND obesity are all the result (symptom) of the same thing—an unhealthy body. Somehow, someone has assigned obesity as a primary cause or a disease, when in reality it is an effect or result of something else. If you have stubborn weight problems you have a hormonal imbalance and the body can’t release fat effectively. Attacking your weight problems with dieting and typical exercise without first finding out your body type will continue to be a challenge because you are focusing on the wrong goal…weight loss. A better goal would be creating healthier glands and hormone balance. Weight loss would then occur as a benefit of a healthy body.

There are four main body types each influenced by hormones that cause us to have weight problems. They are Adrenal, Ovarian, Thyroid and Liver body type.

Do any of these look like you?

Adrenal Pendulous abdomenNeeds coffee to wake upDark circles around eyesSalt, cheese and chocolatecravings	Thyroid Hair stiff and dryGeneralized weight gainOuter eyebrows thin or absentCraving bread, pasta and sweets	Ovary Weight gain in hips, thighs and buttocksHot flashes, vaginal drynessInfertilityCyclic thinning of hair	Liver Burping or belching after mealsPot belly, very little external fatIrritability and moodiness, especially in the morningCraving for fried foods and sour foods

Here are a couple of comments from a few of the people we have helped:

Judy, age 56: Registered Nurse

“When I first started working with Dr. Rick all the other nurses at work were saying ‘Yeah right’ when I told them what I was doing to lose weight. Now they say ‘what are you doing to lose all the weight.’ I’ve lost 44 lbs in 4½ months and I’m still losing!”

Pat, age 60: Former Ironman Tri-athlete

“Getting adjustments three times a week for 4 weeks and taking dietary supplements helped me get fit enough to exercise daily to lose 26 pounds in twelve weeks and lose 10% body fat.”
