Protocol #1 Digestive Health – Harmonizing Earth

According to Oriental Medicine, a strong Earth, or digestive system

plays the most important role in our overall health. It enables us to

extract life supporting nourishment and Qi (life energy) from our food

as well as providing a first line of defense against harmful

microorganisms, i.e., parasites and yeast. Our digestive system is a

complex harmony between healthy and unhealthy bacteria. When unhealthy

bacteria begin to grow out of control it is called dysbiosis (not

living in harmony), this can lead to such symptoms as bloating, gas,

irregular bowel movements, constipation, acid reflux, gallbladder

issues, food and environmental sensitivities.

The Digestive Health Wellness Protocol introduces a simple elimination

diet and targeted nutrition that helps clean and strengthen the

digestive system, resulting in better absorption of nutrients and

elimination of harmful microorganism and toxins.

Protocol # 2 Detoxification and Inflammation – Removing Stagnations

According to Oriental Medicine the liver and the lungs are responsible

for maintaining the free flow of Qi. When the Qi is not constrained,

the body is able to effectively remove harmful toxins and manage pain

and inflammation. However, when the liver Qi becomes stagnate, it is

unable to effectively perform these functions resulting in such

symptoms as chronic pain, inflammation, fatigue, chemical

sensitivities, tumors or cysts, acne, rashes headaches, food and

environmental allergies, fertility issues, memory loss,

neuro-degenerative diseases (Parkinson’s syndrome) and certain types of

cancers.

The Detoxification and Inflammation Wellness Protocol is designed to

support the movement of Qi and facilitate the cleansing process safely

and effectively removing stored toxins. These include pesticides from

food and water, environmental pollutants, heavy metals (lead and

mercury), pesticides, and internally produced toxins resulting from a

high processed diet and poor eating habits.

Protocol #3 Weight Loss – Harmonizing The Middle

According to Oriental Medicine, when the digestive system is able to

transform food to nutrients and the liver can maintain the free flow of

Qi, the muscles and tendons will remain strong and flexible. When the

digestive system and the liver are not in harmony, body shape is

altered, our muscles become soft and weak, our tendons become hard and

inflexible and we begin to accumulate food, dampness, and phlegm,

resulting in weight gain or obesity. Research shows that obesity

contributes to cardio vascular disease, high blood pressure, high

cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.

The Weight Loss Wellness Protocol introduces targeted nutrition and a

simple elimination diet, with food targeted to support the liver and

the digestive system. There are also specific exercises that are simple

an easy to follow to enhance and maintain your optimum weight. Applying

the principles of Oriental Medicine, it we maintain the balance between

the liver and the digestive system, we will remain strong and lean.

Protocol #4 Stress Management – Calming The Spirit

According to Oriental Medicine, our emotions are controlled by the

heart, which houses the spirit, or shen. In today’s fast paced society

the vast majority of individuals are under constant stress. An

unhealthy response to stress can lead to adrenal burn or exhaustion.

Research has shown that stress can be a contributing factor to obesity,

diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and

psychological and neurological disorders.

The Stress Management Wellness Protocol introduces nutrients and herbal

adaptogens that are targeted to calm the spirit by reducing the harmful

effects of stress. The Protocol also includes simple life style changes

such as meditation, tai chi, and a healthy diet. Following the

principles of Oriental Medicine, calming the spirit will lead to

compassion and happiness in your career, your relationships, and your

life.

Protocol #5 Anti-Aging & Longevity – Building Essence

According to Oriental Medicine, the Kidney’s are responsible for

maintaining our Essence, or life force energy, and slowing down its

depletion. Our Essence, or life force energy consists of Qi, blood, yin

and yang. These elements are regarded as the most important influences

upon the aging process. Poor nutrition, poor absorption, an unhealthy

diet, not enough sleep, working too many hours, chronic illness,

certain medications and stored toxins are all contributing factors that

can begin to rapidly deplete our Essence, creating such symptoms as

bone an hair loss, immune deficiencies, malnutrition, sagging and

wrinkling skin, infertility, low sex drive, fatigue, and memory loss.

The Anti-Aging & Longevity Wellness Protocol introduces certain

nutrients, herbs, exercises and a healthy diet, which assists the

process of regeneration by building Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang – Essence.

Applying the principles of Oriental Medicine, one can say that

Strengthening and preserving our Essence is the key to anti-aging and

longevity.
