HealtheTrim has become a mainstay in my Doctors Care Weight Loss practice.  It was first introduced to me by a close friend whom I have known well for the past 30 years.  He had just lost 25 pounds over 4 weeks while taking HealtheTrim.  He knew I had been interested in more natural methods in my medical practice even before I wrote my nutritional book providing a metabolic approach toward wellness and prevention.  He asked me to check out Heatlhe Trim to make sure it was, in fact, all natural and safe.  My subsequent investigation was extensive and included a trip to Florida to go through the facility that was making Heatlhe Trim.

This is what I discovered.  First of all, HealtheTrim is made in a pharmaceutical grade facility to ensure purity and quality control.  Each of the ingredients in HealtheTrim had individual research backing up their individual claims concerning their various biological activities.  What impressed me the most was the formulators of HealtheTrim not only chose the most appropriate ingredients to get the results they were looking for, but they created an effective blend or mix taking several years of testing before making the product available to the public. This was the confirmation I needed to begin using it with my patients in my weight management clinics.

Now I would like to tell you how Heatlhe Trim can and should be used to help you maintain good health and prevent a premature onset of one or more of the many co-morbid conditions directly associated with excess body fat and obesity which has become epidemic in this country.
 
Health care is costing us 2 trillion dollars a year.  The United States ranks a dismal 45th in the world for life expectancy. As much as 1/3 of the expenditures do nothing to improve health, thanks to completely unnecessary treatments and tests. As a society we must change this situation.  Many of our health costs can be eliminated naturally--at a fraction of the cost--through dietary changes and supplements.  We can also overcome our reliance on pharmaceutical drugs.  Even though medications can be life saving, they are significantly over prescribed and often result in sick people becoming sicker---or dying. Even when drugs are prescribed correctly, over one hundred thousand people per year die from side effects alone.  It has become the fourth leading cause of death in this country.

It is now time for the public to understand the need to take more personal responsibility for their health and even start acting in some capacity as their own doctors by making better decisions and appropriate life style changes. Rather than lifelong drug use, doesn't it make sense to maintain health and prevent disease through diet, proper nutrition, vitamins, herbs, minerals, enzymes along with more natural therapies and exercise?

These are some of the reasons I wrote the book, Be Fat Free Forever, with my friend Jim Garrigus which then led to my starting Doctors Care Weight Loss clinics. Of the many diseases associated with obesity such as diabetes, heart disease, various forms of arthritis and cancer, asthma is also one of these associated conditions. I wanted to provide my asthma patients with another way to help them, and not solely rely on pharmaceuticals.

In my practice, every patient, during every visit, is weighed on a bioimpedance scale regardless of their diagnoses. I do this because it is not the weight per se that forecasts one's health present and future, but the percent fat inside the body, referred to as "visceral" or organ fat such as around the liver and other organs.  My patients who have excess or unhealthy body fat measurements can choose to see, at no cost, one of my nutritional counselors.  Without going into detail, the ensuing plan shows the patient how to balance two key hormones produced by the pancreas, insulin and glucagon.  When these hormones are balanced, a normal percentage of healthy body fat is attainable. By cutting back on sugar and starch (potatoes, rice, bread, pasta) and consuming enough protein, this can be accomplished. The average healthy body fat range for a woman is 17-27% and 14-24%for men.

I enjoy good food like anybody else and enjoy eating.  Since writing my book 12 years ago, I have consistently maintained12-14% body fat. For most of my patients, and me, maintaining a healthy balance has not been difficult.  But for those who have a more difficult time avoiding sugars and sweets, Healthe Trim has made it possible for these patients to get on track by reducing their appetite and cravings.  In addition, Healthe Trim helps to accelerate fat loss through fat oxidation and also gives the patients a discernable increase in a more motivated or focused type of energy---very pleasant, not the jittery feelings that have been found with some other weight loss products.

Another significant use of Healthe Trim in my practice has been to help certain individuals who have lost weight with my hormone balancing plan, but then seem to "stall out",  still maintaining, but not losing when they really should lose more. Starting Healthe Trim with these individuals rekindles the fire, so to speak, and another cycle of weight loss ensues.
 
Finally, may I say my wish for you is that by making right choices you will experience a longer, healthier life.
