Frequently Asked Questions

Services:
The services provided at our clinic include tailor made eating and exercise recommendations, nutritional recommendations, cleansing recommendations, life-style recommendations, acupressure and health educational seminars. Our practitioners include chiropractors and massage therapists.

Acupressure Stress Elimination Technique (ASET):
ASET is a method of triggering acupressure like body reflex points with the purpose of reducing body stress, increasing circulation and improving the body's ability to relax.

Diet and Exercise:
To maximize health and weight loss, you must give the person the correct diet and exercise for their body shape. We will help in finding the exact diet or make the proper modifications for you.  The recommendations given at our clinic are based on the 7 Principles of Fat Burning by Eric Berg DC.

Enhancement Recommendation:
For clients with certain resistant weight conditions, we might recommend Dr. Berg's Enhancement Eating Plan, which is designed to enhance health and promote weight loss.

Consultation and Evaluation:
There are several goals of the consultation and evaluation. The most important is finding out what lifestyle areas (eating, exercise, sleep, pain, stress, ect.) to focus on. Evaluation means to examine more closely. Instead of jumping right into the treatment of symptoms, we want to understand what';s causing the symptoms. This first test will be an acupressure assessment. You will receive a non-invasive Body Composition Test that measures the resistance through the skin to determine body fat percentages, fluid balance inside and outsides the cells, as well as your metabolic rate. Blood pressure, height and weight will also be assessed.

How many visits do I need?
This depends on many factors: age, how chronic the problem is, the severity, the number of body complaints, environmental stress, past eating habits.How long does it take to feel results? For most people it could take 3-5 visits. However due to individual conditions, it could take longer. As far as weight loss, water weight might be improved before fat burning. Other positive changes might occur before weight loss- increased levels of energy, improved sleeping, better digestion, and feeling of well-being.

Will the first visit evaluation fee include a treatment?
No. Treatments are an extra charge.  The initial evaluation only covers the testing. If you decided that you want further care, we will explain the different options.

How do you address weight loss?
We have a priority system that we follow before addressing weight. If someone comes in with pain and inflammation, sleeping issues or constipation, these conditions must improve before weight can be addressed since pain, lack of sleep, and digestive troubles can prevent weight loss. If someone has pain, this can prevent exercise and activity. Once these things are out of the way, we can focus on weight. If a person carries water weight, they can expect to lose water weight before actual fat. Using a tailor-made eating and lifestyle plan and exercise program, chances for weight loss improve greatly. With any program, there are no guarantees, as you can't always guarantee that the person will follow the recommendations.

Do we accept all people for care?
No. We only accept those people we feel we can help. There are cases that are beyond our ability to help. We will have a good idea at the end of the first visit if we can help you. If we cannot help you, we will refer you to someone who can possibly help you. If someone has a medical condition or disease, as this is out of our scope of practice, we will recommend a competent physician.

Once I rid my problem, do I need to come back each year and redo the program?
No. We don't have to redo a program once the end results are achieved. Some people decide to go on a maintenance program once they reach stabilization. We might apply a support using our fat burning coach program with weekly phone consults.

Do I have to go on a diet?
We will recommend an eating plan based on your case. You will need to be willing to make changes in your eating for use to take you on as a client.

Do I have to exercise?
People with severe cases should not exercise at first because their body is too fatigued. We would recommend a special type of exercise based upon your body weakness. Weight training and higher pulse heart rate exercises will not be initially recommended.

How does stress affect weight?
Stress keeps the body from sleeping and has a tendency to cause the body to use more sugar fuel compared to fat fuel. Through reducing stress, one can sleep better and effect a better fat burning.

Testimonials

"Before the therapy I weighed 280lbs. I tried everything with in reason to lose weight. My blood pressure was border line high and my arthritis was unrelentingly painful, my energy level was zero and I was sick most of the time with dizziness. It was hard to get off the floor once I was down on it. My enthusiasm level and depression was very hard to control. My abdomen was very distended and I had heartburn constantly.

After almost 3 months of treatment I weigh 239lbs. My blood pressure is 120/72 which is in the normal range; my arthritis has gotten better; my hypoglysema is much better; my energy level is great; and I don't get sick much now. My Abdomen isn't nearly as distended or hard as it was before. Getting up and down off the floor is much easier. I also haven't had heartburn in over 3 months. Even though I may still have some problems my health has gotten much better and my frustration level and depression is much better and more manageable."  ~Max L.

"When Dr. Skraitz offered the seminar on the BRT, I knew it was something I needed to attend. Within 4 months on the program I lost almost 30lbs and detoxed my body and my life"  ~ Rhonda W.
