Anti-Aging
What exactly is the Anti-Aging category of medicine? What is included under this aspect of healing?
Hormones: The proper balance of all hormones is critical to everything, including feeling vital all the way down to having proper digestion. Some hormones are responsible for keeping PMS at bay, while others can help in getting proper sleep. Even weight loss is included here. Everyone should consider balancing their hormones, especially those 30 years and older.
Nutrition: We all know that eating the right foods is critical to achieving your best health. But with busy lives, who has the time anymore to eat 4-6 homemade meals every day? Well, now we have a category of nutrition called "Superfoods". Dr. Rush has the best tasting, highest antioxidant product available. Ask her for a sample when you make an appointment.
She also carries some of the best multivitamin combinations available.
Weight Loss: We know this. But it is soooo hard to achieve for some people. Dr. Rush has developed a special program that can be adapted for life. The Regenerate Lifestyle Program can give you better solutions within 8 short weeks. Ask about the next class the Doctor has scheduled.
Immune Science
Immunity isn't just about getting over the latest flu or cold, but also about prevention. Do you feel that you get sick a little too often? What about your genetic history? Do you have Cancer, Diabetes or even Auto-Immune conditions in your family history? Would you like the opportunity to avoid those "gifts" from your parents? Of course! Well, now there is a pill that can be taken to help you boost your immune system and create better defenses naturally. Yes, I said naturally. You no longer have to wait for sickness to address your immune issues. Ask Dr. Rush about the solutions she recommends to her patients for a more proactive approach to boosting the immune system naturally.
