BeBalanced Hormone Weight Loss
P
aget Keller Rhee, owner and HMB specialist at BeBalanced Hormone Weight Loss Centers, willingly shares her weight loss struggles. “Several years ago I was going through my own personal journey with weight gain caused by stress,” she explains. “(The gain was) due to [QOVQÅKIV\ XMZ[WVIT Q[[]M[ LMXZM[[QWV lack of sleep, and just not feeling like myself.” But then, she says, a friend introduced her to BeBalanced. “I was able to take my life back,” she shares. Rhee notes that she learned much about herself, her body, and the stress level that she was under. “I was able to lose about 60 pounds in three months, and it really changed my
life,” she says. The change was so great that Rhee decided to open the ÅZ[\ *M*ITIVKML NZIVKPQ[M QV 0IZZQ[burg. “Three years later, we have now opened the York Center, and we are continuing to help men and women with hormone balance in the Susquehanna Valley through a third center in Camp Hill,” Rhee comments. In the last three years, 21 BeBalanced centers have opened across the country from Dallas to Florida to Long Island, and the business started in Lancaster. :PMM IVL PMZ [\I ٺ are excited to help men and women with symptoms that they are experiencing due to stress, which they note causes hormone imbalances as women get older.

Afterward, they will transition into a maintenance program to reset their metabolism and test for food sensitivities that can result in weight gain. “By simply balancing your insulin and blood sugar, through a whole foods diet, along with building progesterone to balance with estrogen while decreasing cortisol, a major stress hormone, through a relaxation technique, you will not only lose weight quickly, but your mood and sleep will improve,” Rhee explains. “The balance between estrogen and progesterone will also diminish or eliminate PMS and menopausal symptoms.” A free hormone assessment is available at www.bebalanced centers.com, which will help potential clients understand if any symptoms may be the result of a hormone imbalance. Interested individuals may also call the center at 717-673-7046 to set up a complimentary consultation. The York center is located at 2331 E.

Diehl Funeral Home & Cremation Center
ince 1895, the Diehl Funeral Home & Cremation Center has dedicated its years of service to assisting families in creating the most meaningful service for their loved ones. The business was founded in Mount Wolf by Albert H. Diehl, who remained active in the funeral home until his death in 1958. Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Leonard, joined the business after graduating from Eckelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College in Philadelphia in 1938. After Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Leonard assumed full
operation of the family business and continued to work in the business until 1998. Michael Gladfelter, a York County native who was raised in Seven Valleys, joined the funeral home as one of its funeral directors in 1986. In 1992, after working with the Diehl family for six years, Gladfelter and Leonard reached an agreement in which Gladfelter would be the successor to the Diehl Funeral Home and would continue its tradition of service to area families. Diehl Funeral Home understands the overwhelming burden of losing a loved one. Understanding and respecting a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes has been one of the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main focuses at all times. The funeral homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff members believe that it is their job to provide clients with more than just a professional funeral service and also to provide a quality, superior service.
Diehl Funeral Home strives to be creative, innovative, and inventive, and the business prides itself on its staff keeping an open mind and listening to what will please each customer. The staff members can relate to what clients are going through, and those experiences have helped Diehl Funeral Home become a funeral home that cares enough to offer the request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we embark on another century of service, let me assure you that we will continue to maintain or surpass the ethical, professional and caring service we have been known to provide,â&#x20AC;? Gladfelter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realize these are just words, but we hope you will allow us to show you the actions that stand behind these words.â&#x20AC;?
