Helping You to Better Health Naturally

Teenage “Granny” No More

by

Please explain why you came to our office.

“I have struggled with various injuries for years, and it was hard to do normal things, let alone play a varsity level sport for any high school.  I decided to come here when my teammates AND coaches started calling me “granny”.

Please describe your response to treatment.

“Since coming here, my entire body has seen improvement.  I was able to do normal things again without pain and I was able to perform to the best of my ability on the softball field.”

They’re not calling her “granny” anymore!

 

Junk food in and a load of consequences out!

by

Why did you take the nutrition class and did it meet your expectations?

” The Blood Sugar Solution book was very helpful but Monica helped me to apply what it said.  You are what you eat…junk food in and a load of consequences out.  If you want to feel better then you have to understand what you are feeding your body.  I especially enjoyed all of Monica’s recipes and the goodies she was so kind to bring each week.”

I DID IT!

by

Why did you take the nutrition class and did it meet your expectations?

“I just needed to learn “how to eat”!  It went beyond my expectations!!  Wonderful!

Responded beautifully!

by

Why did you take the nutrition course?

“I took the class on the advice of a friend who had worked with Monica previously.  I didn’t know what to expect, but the class has been incredibly informative.”

How did you respond to the program?

“I have responded beautifully to the “Blood Sugar Solution”.  I have lost 16 pounds without weight loss being my primary focus.  I’ve learned that sugar and gluten adversely affect my body while dairy and caffeine aren’t so much of an issue.”

Seeking Alternative to Surgery

by

Please explain why you came to our office.

“I was seeking a natural approach for relieving my back pain instead of having surgery.”

Please describe your response to treatment.

“My response  has been good in several ways–I can tell the neuropathy in my feet has lessened and  a feeling of tightness in my legs has improved.  I feel stronger in my back than I did before treatments.”~78 year-old female

Pregnancy Back Pain

by

Please explain why you came to our office.

“Because around 28 weeks pregnant I began experiencing debilitating lower back pain to where I could barely walk.”

Please describe your response to treatment.

“I experienced immediate relief after the first visit, and gradually improved with each ensuing visit so the pain was almost non-existent and I was fully functional again by around 34 weeks pregnant.”

Weight Loss Success!

by

The goal of the nutrition course, “Diabesity”, is to empower participants to achieve better  health through diet and lifestyle.  Losing weight is a natural benefit but it is not the primary focus of the classes.  The program is gradually implemented over seven weeks and is provided in a supportive group setting–very helpful for making permanent, beneficial changes.  The following is one participant’s response to taking the class.

“Monica’s ‘Reclaim Your Health’ Diabesity Class has been extremely helpful to both me and my husband.  Although my husband did not attend the class he responded positively to all the dietary changes I was making and went on to lose over 35 pounds.  We feel great, and have benefited so much!  What we have learned will stay with us the rest of our lives.  I consider Monica and Dr. Burgoon the best resources I know of on nutrition and health.”

Acute back pain

by

Please explain why you came to our office.

“Acute back pain unresolved by PT exercises I do at home.  Back pain had been under good control with exercises until I suffered a torn meniscus in my knee, necessitating more use of my back in activities of daily living.  Back pain exacerbated to point I could not get into and out of the car without moderately severe pain.”

Please describe your response to treatment.

“Much diminished discomfort.  No back pain getting in and out of vehicle most days.  I am continuing my PT exercise as well as additional exercises recommended by Dr. Burgoon.  I will continue treatment as long as recommended as I feel I have definitely benefited from them.”       ~67 year-old female

Food Cravings Respond to “Diabesity” Program

by

Why did you take the class?

“I have a love-hate relationship with food.  Sugar and chocolate cravings always land me in larger size clothes before I know it!”

How did you respond to the program?

“The class taught me why the cravings happen and what foods to eat to avoid sugar cravings.  And it works!  The first week on the program I noticed an eight and a half pound drop in weight.  I didn’t even want chocolate or sugar foods.  Not eating bread or dairy, did me a world of good!  I wasn’t bloated and my energy level increased, brain fog was gone and I was sleeping more soundly.”~59 year-old female

Diabetic’s response to “Diabesity” Class

by

Why did you take the Diabesity class and did it meet your expectations?

“As a Type II diabetic  there were two reasons why I decided to take the class.  The first was to lose weight and the second was to stabilize my blood sugars which had been too high for too long.”

How did you respond to the program?

“During the six week program I have lost about 18 pounds which I hope to continue to a goal of 28 pounds.  More important than the weight loss was the program’s effect on my blood sugars which have come down to very good levels (81-90).  These stabilized blood sugars have allowed me to reduce my insulin by 65 units/day.  Besides my reduction in insulin dosage I have almost eliminated my need for the acid-reducing medication nexium.  I have only taken three doses in the last four weeks.  This class not only met but exceeded my expectations.” 62 year-old male
