Helping You to Better Health Naturally
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.”
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.”
It is very helpful for both patient and practitioner to follow the results of blood work and other tests when a patient is making changes in diet and lifestyle. The patient will feel better but the improvements we get in tests results over time are confirmation that we are on the right track.
We have observed that patients who consume concentrated fructose have high blood triglycerides and central obesity. These problems often improve once they avoid the high fructose sweeteners. High fructose corn syrup is the most common source of concentrated fructose that Americans consume. It is found in non-diet sodas, many drinks and convenience foods. Bottled juices, most often made from reconstituted fruit juice concentrates, also provide too much fructose at one time for the body to handle safely. Other sweeteners such as honey and agave nectar also contain a lot of fructose so it is best to limit their consumption. Except for vegetable juicing, the rule of “don’t drink your calories” stands as a first step in not only weight loss but getting healthier in general.

Children suffer injuries that lead to misalignments just as adults do. Children generally respond very well and quickly to gentle chiropractic adjustments. A case in point is that of a 5 year-old … [Read More...]
