DON’T SETTLE FOR SUB-PAR HEALTH
Are you putting up with any of these symptoms? Are they cramping your style, zapping your vitality, snuffing out your joy?
- diet resistant, hard to lose unwanted weight
- frequent stomach and digestive trouble
- brain fog, mood swings, anxiety and stress
- acne, rashes, and other skin problems
- poor sleep, insomnia, and low energy
Maybe you chalk it up to being over 30, getting older, having food allergies? Maybe you’re just accepting this as your new reality? Don’t settle for low energy, low libido, poor digestion and all the problems that are slowly leading you down the path to chronic illness. Jumpstart Your Health and Even Begin Reversing Your Chronic Illness Now. This is a plan for those who not only want to reverse chronic pain and disease, but also want to live life to the fullest and accomplish their dreams.
How would your life be different if you had lots of energy, less pain, needed no prescriptions, and could stay ‘in the zone’ with a clear, focused mind? It may be simpler than you think.
All I ask you for is commitment — to yourself.
If you want to...
- Lose weight easily without feeling like you’re starving ALL THE TIME
- Let go of the beliefs that are limiting you, so you can actually reach your dreams
- Heal your relationship with food for good — so you can finally stop dieting!
- Stop worrying about what other people think of you or what they expect you to be, and start embracing who you truly are
- Understand why you make the food choices you do (it has NOTHING to do with willpower)
- Let go of the pressure that society puts on you, and stop doing things you’re not even interested in doing!
…then THIS is an opportunity you can’t miss!
What do you have to lose (besides those extra stubborn pounds and feeling frustrated)?
We will be starting our next 6-week intensive detoxification program with an emphasis on weight loss on Thursday January 12th. I firmly believe that food can either be your best medicine or your slowest poison and it is one of the biggest impacts on our health that we can actually control.
Starting Thursday January 12th from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm, we will meet weekly (skipping January 19th) and finish Thursday February 23rd.
The first of the year is the perfect time to keep those New Year resolutions going and we will finish up just in time to look good for spring break. We meet after work -- so what is your excuse not to participate?
This program is not only for those wanting to lose weight, it is also for anyone wanting to optimize their health. I think everyone should do this program at some point. I do it every time with patients, and I get as much benefit as anyone. I am so looking forward to doing it again and how I will feel afterwards.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot now. In order to secure a spot, you need to commit by paying your copay amount for the package upfront; if your copay is $15 then the total cost of the program would be $105. This includes a one on one personal training session with Jessica, as well as a one on one nutritional session with Kyla. This is the only requirement to participate. It is also highly recommended that you do at least one week of detox shakes. We will have samples on the first night, with several choices available.
The average weight loss for the first three rounds of “Detox with your Doc” was 2 lbs a week. This would be right on track for losing 10% after 3 months; 5-10% weight lost after 3 months is a great goal.
More importantly, participants anonymously reported an average of 60% health improvement after starting the program. They rated their overall experience of the program an average of 9/10. Are you ready to feel 60% better?
There are too many unrealistic weight loss programs out there advertising 40 pounds in 40 days. Yes that may be possible but you lose muscle along with the fat and that is not healthy. There is no program that you can lose weight without work. It's also important to remember that if you are feeling worse losing weight then you are doing it wrong.
Special discounts for those participating in the event (a possible savings over $250!):
1 hour session with Kyla, one one one (70 dollar value)
1 free 30 minute infrared sauna session with the purchase of a detox shake kit (15 dollar value)
1 free 10 minute whole body vibration session (5 dollar value)
1 month unlimited sauna sessions for $60 during this event (usually $100)
Purchase 1 Med Gem Basal Metabolic Rate Analysis for $50 get 5 weeks of follow up readings for free (175 dollar value)
Auricular Acupuncture for weight loss will be $20 instead of the normal price of $60
15% off supplements purchased during Thursday night event days (1/12-2/23)
Fat Burner injections are $15 dollars (normally $25)
What's included in the program:
- Six 1 1/2 hour weekly group visits lead by Dr Ehle with personal one on one time at the end of each session
- Complete medical guidance to address all of the following:
- Nutritional guidance with recipes and meal plans
- Restoring optimal sleep and circadian rhythm
- Relaxation and stress management
- Movement and Exercise
- Detoxification and reducing toxin burden
- Restoring optimal GI health
- Balancing your hormones including thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones
- 1 one on one nutritional session with Kyla (1 hour)
- 1 one on one personal training session with Jessica
- Weekly body composition analysis tracking
- Grocery store tour
- Customized eating plan
- Comprehensive calorie goal sheet
- Tons of online resources including cookbooks, audiobooks, and other handouts
- Daily motivational emails
- See Discounts above
- And most importantly, the accountability and support needed to reach your health goals
Special prizes will be awarded for participating in a competition to get healthy. Some previous prizes were 2 hours of coolscupting, 6 laser lipo sessions, one free bottle of a protein shake, 1 month unlimited sauna, 1 month unlimited whole body vibration, and 1 free med gem basal metabolic rate analysis.
Every patient that signs up may bring 1 support person for FREE. That person does not have to be a patient and is not required to purchase anything, although they are able to if they want. If they choose to purchase a Detox shake kit then weigh ins and measurements will be done for free.
Note: No prescription medications, acupuncture, fat burner injections or labs will be done for non-patients, or patients that are participating as a non-paying support person.
6 Week Schedule Overview
Week 1 Thursday January 12th - Introduction/Overview – the detox with your doc will officially start on Monday January 30th.
There will be an opportunity to have labs drawn if desired (which can be billed to insurance or done at a significant discount for cash patients)
Week 2 Thursday January 26th - Nutrition - Plan to start elimination diet, I encourage you to bring your favorite recipe to share, go over labs/genetic testing if done, and acupuncture opportunity
Week 3 Thursday February 2nd - Supplements/Medications – What to take and what to avoid
Week 4 Thursday February 9th - Exercise/Stress Reduction
Week 5 Thursday February 16th - Sleep and Hormone balancing
Week 6 Thursday February 23rd - Conclusion, Where to go from Here
At some point during the 6 weeks, we will have you schedule your one on one time with Kyla and Jessica.
How much is the program?
The cash price is $70 per visit + $35 for a one on one personal training session with Jessica, so 6 visits + $35 = $455
If you have insurance with a copay for visits then it would be your copay (usually 10-35 dollars per visit). If your copay is $15 then the total cost of the program would be $105. This includes a one on one personal training session with Jessica, as well as 1 one on one nutritional session with Kyla.
If you have insurance on a deductible plan and would like to still bill insurance then the visit will be billed as a 99213, which is about 70-80 dollars and will go towards your deductible.
If you take advantage of the special discount on supplements and services, the savings basically pays for your visits and detox shake!
Why should you signup?
The better question is why not? Invest in yourself and take steps toward reaching/maintaining a healthy weight. Research has shown that people participating in a group visit and have support lose more weight. Having support is more important than genetics when it comes to a healthy weight. I usually spend a half hour during established patient visits. This event will consist of a hour and half in depth, comprehensive discussion on everything you want to know about having a healthy weight. There will also be time allowed for brief individual questions at the end of each meeting.
What is a shared medical visit?
A shared medical appointment, also known as a group visit, occurs when multiple patients are seen as a group for follow-up care or management of chronic conditions. These visits are voluntary for patients and provide a secure but interactive setting in which patients have improved access to their physicians, the benefit of counseling with additional members of a health care team (for example a behaviorist, nutritionist, or health educator), and the opportunity to share experiences and advice with one another.
Remember, space is limited so reserve your spot now by prepaying for the program.
Please either call the office or reply to this email to reserve your spot. Please also let us know if you plan to bring a support person so that we can make accommodations.
If you are unable to participate on Thursdays from 5:30-7 pm, you can always schedule your own personal appointment with Kyla.
Something you may want to consider before starting the program is doing a 23andme genetic test. Researchers have found that people who do the diet that’s matched to their genotype (for the 5 best markers scientists know of today) can lose weight 2.5x faster than those on the opposite diet. So if you have struggled with weight loss in the past, don't fight your genes, take advantage of them. I will be discussing how to interpret the results during the group visits. If you plan to do this, then do it soon as it can take up to 6 weeks to get the results. If you use the link below it should speed up the process to 2-3 weeks, and you receive $20 off (I don't make any money off this).

“Most people,” says Denis Waitley, author of The Psychology of Winning, “spend more time planning a party, studying the newspaper or making a Christmas list than they do planning their lives.”
According to Zig Ziglar, an expert on goal-setting and one of the nation's most respected motivational speakers, only 3% of Americans have actually taken the time and effort necessary to put their goals on paper. Ziglar compares not having goals to shooting at a target with a blindfold on. “How could you possibly hit a target you can’t even see?” If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re probably not going to end up anywhere!
Action without planning is one of the biggest causes of failure.
So here are several meal planning ideas for the holidays to eat clean and maintain your gluten free dairy free eating while still enjoying yourself.

Fullscript has the most complete collection of what we carry, but for small orders there is a slightly larger fee than NP Script for shipping.

As the end of the year draws closer, if you have met your deductible and ever thought of having allergy testing, ACT NOW! For some insurance plans, allergy testing is as little as a $25 office copay. Too good to not take advantage of!
We test for 70 different allergens - 46 environmental (weeds, trees, grasses, dust mites, molds, animals) and 24 foods.
We can also do an expanded food panel of 35 foods by themselves or with airborne testing.

Get tested. Get treated. Get better. Treat the cause, not the symptoms!

In the Winter Newsletter, I promoted Liberty Direct as one of the health insurance replacement plans. I wanted to make everyone aware that they have recently undergone some changes. I do not fully know what this entails as they have not yet released all the details.
Last week, Liberty Direct achieved an exciting milestone. Fueled by its own success, it graduated from an experimental initiative of Liberty HealthShare into a program that will now be mainstreamed as one of the official Liberty products. I will hear more about these details directly from the Liberty team in the days ahead and will keep you informed.
Reminder: Liberty Healthshare is absolutely not insurance. There is no legal commitment. There are no reserves maintained. They do not process claims, but rather share in needs. They do not share in pre-existing conditions for the first year, and then after that it is only to a limited degree.
Their new reimbursement for the LiveWell membership is 75% of the membership fee with the following max amounts:
Max Single $40
Max Couple $60
Max Family $75
You can find out more at Liberty HealthShares website:
