"Health Gain" Services

Only cigarette smoking outranks obesity as the largest cause of preventable death.

About 60% of Americans are overweight and about a quarter of these people are obese. As numbers go, about one member of every family in the United States is obese.  Complications from being overweight makes obesity one of the top three diseases related to premature death.  For example, about one-half of cardiovascular deaths and one-third of cancer deaths are due to being overweight.

Being overweight is responsible for a majority of diseases including:

  • heart disease

  • high blood pressure

  • diabetes

  • high cholesterol

  • stroke;

  • pulmonary emboli

  • gout

  • gallstones

  • arthritis

  • cancer, and

  • sleep apnea

Recently researchers have also linked obesity to cellular oxidation, which is the process that kills cells, speeding aging and death.

In the past, physicians, dieticians, and personal trainers have tried to manage the body alone without results. Then psychologists did the same with the mind only. But rather than focusing on limited areas of expertise, success is only possible by treating the mind, body, and soul simultaneously, thereby addressing the destructive components of the disease in its various forms.

From the beginning, our goal has been to seek out the very best treatments in each of these three fields of science and – for the first time – unite them, to use them together. Our criteria for choosing the best treatments are simple. It must give consistent results. Through experience and modification, these treatments have been streamlined so that they can be applied to the majority and with a success rate that will halt the obesity epidemic. Their presentation is with no frills and no gimmicks – the simple truth on how to lose weight, feel great, and never regain if for the rest of your life. For us, that’s the only definition of success.
