Spring Detox and Weight Loss with Help from Your Chiropractor

Spring has sprung! After a long winter, Burnsville, MN residents may be finding a few extra pounds have appeared. Or, you might not be feeling energetic and ready for summer. The thought of tackling weight loss on your own can be very daunting. Skyline Chiropractic can help with a detox cleanse and the Take Shape for Life weight loss program.

Why detox?

Our daily lives puts in constant contact with environmental toxins, which can lead to health concerns in several areas. Common symptoms you may be experiencing indicating excessive toxins:

• Fatigue, lethargy or weakness
• Depression
• Headaches, irritability
• Cognitive problems—brain fog or memory problems
• Difficulty concentrating
• Generalized muscle aches
• Decreased athletic performance

What’s involved in doing a detoxifying cleanse?

The first step is talking with your chiropractor for a full evaluation and assessment. It’s important to follow a program that gives your body the essential nutrients it needs to support detoxification. Many juicing programs and other fasting programs can deprive your body of nutrients.

A recommended detox protocol includes:

1. Consume a diet of organic vegetables along with a Medical Foods supplement.
2. Follow a ‘Modified Elimination Diet’ along with supplements.
3. Continue with step 2 or slowly start to include whole foods back into your diet.

What is Take Shape for Life? 

Take Shape for Life is a one-on-one coaching support for your weight loss journey. Along with coaching, it incorporates Medifast Meals. The support and coaching along with the “5 & 1” plan, makes it unique to many other plans. The plan includes five Medifast meals plus one sensible meal of your choice.

Patient Testimonial

My journey with Medifast started in November of 2013 after I decided that my weight had gotten to a level that overall was not healthy for me. I met with Dr. Benson; she introduced me to the Medifast Program it offered me a structured plan with food that was delivered to my home; traveled with me and a coach that kept me focused on my health goals. In January I hired a personal trainer as recommended to work on my body; primarily focused on improving my core. In July 2014 I started on the maintenance program as I had met my goal weight.  I have gone from a size 14/16 to a size 8/10. I have lost a total of 18 inches and 43 pounds.  I feel wonderful and it is so much fun to hear the complements and feel good about how I look.  This journey will continue – firming up the body is still a work in progress and my maintenance program will keep my weight steady.  Having a coach like Dr. Benson was wonderful; she talked with me every week.  I have gone on many diets in my life; the difference with Medifast is the Personal Coaching that provides support and motivation and a food program that delivers results. Thank you to the Team!
