Be Your Best Self
We all want to look our absolute best — at every age. It’s no secret that when you look good, you feel good. But if the person you see in the mirror no longer matches how you feel inside, it’s good to know that there are more options than ever before to help you look as good as you feel — including the latest anti-aging breakthrough in laser technology, Aerolase® Neo now available at Synergy Spa. Last November, Aerolase Neo stepped into the national spotlight when Today Show host Kathie Lee Gifford showcased her experience with the noninvasive skin rejuvenation procedure. The 65-year-old host looks incredible and is frank about embracing nonsurgical pick-me-ups to maintain her youthful appearance. After four Neo treatments, the freshly lasered broadcaster loved the “unbelievable” results adding, “it’s the only one that I’ve ever done that’s completely painless.” No numbing cream, no down time.

Synergy Spa’s lead technician Jessica Loesch is uniquely qualified to deliver amazing results as a CoolSculpting University Master's technician — one of only three in Indiana. With more precise targeting, less discomfort and shorter duration, Loesch can perform the procedure in about 30 to 35 minutes, allowing clients to immediately return to their daily activities. The procedure is one of the spa’s most popular treatments, according to Synergy Spa CEO Denise Kaler who says, “Clients can’t believe the amazing results and love the fact they can have the procedure over a lunch hour — no needles, no surgery, no special diets, and no downtime.” Synergy Spa — Where Beauty Meets Wellness

CANNABINOIDS IN YOUR BODY
To understand how UltraCell® works, you first must know that within the body there exists a complex network of receptors called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Studies have shown the ECS is most abundant in the brain and immune system and is responsible for important functions such as sleep, relaxation, inflammatory responses, and cognitive ability. According to PubMed, endocannabinoids, of which there are hundreds, are a class of diverse chemical compounds that act upon brain cell receptors altering neurotransmitter release. The ECS is normally fueled by the healthy production of endocannabinoids. However, when deficient, there can be a major impact on how we feel. The challenge arises when production becomes impaired or slowed. Thankfully, nature has provided us with a gift called hemp which Zilis has crafted into UltraCell using the naturally produced phytocannabinoids found in hemp. Phytocannabinoids (“phyto-“ meaning “plant-based”) serve as a replacement for the endocannabinoids (“endo-“ meaning “inside your body”) you may be lacking. The phytocannabinoids found organically in
UltraCell interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, or “ECS,” to aid with relief and feelings of calm and well-being. In addition, UltraCell provides health benefits free from the negatives of THC, which is the main compound in marijuana.
FULL SPECTRUM SCIENCE
Unlike other hemp oils that draw upon only isolated portions of the hemp plant, UltraCell is derived using full spectrum hemp oil extract, known as cannabidiol, or CBD. While CBD has known health benefits, the reality is that other CBD-isolate products cannot benefit the body like our phytocannabinoid-rich full spectrum hemp oil. UltraCell contains over 400 biologically active compounds, including CBD and an entourage of other cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, vitamins, fatty acids and minerals. By utilizing all aspects of the hemp plant in its natural state, UltraCell creates an environment where the natural compounds work together to create a synergistic effect. When it comes to UltraCell, the true sum of the whole is greater than the parts. UltraCell makes the power of the hemp plant fully available, the way that nature intended.

Your Weight is Over Harness the power of your unconscious mind to help you in your weight loss journey. Better yet, release the weight! Don’t just lose it or you might find it again. Hypnosis can help you transform your thought patterns so that they are in alignment with your weight release goals. Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can center your thoughts on a single intention. Reprogram your subconscious mind to be your ally. Your thoughts will become your guide to keep you focused and on track. Hypnosis can be like meditation and will help you focus on the moment so that you are present in every cell of your body. A good program to accelerate weight release is the Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis Program. The program was developed by British hypnotherapist Sheila Granger. This is a 5-session program that creates the setting in the subconscious mind of being a patient in a gastric band surgical procedure. The first session focuses on the virtual surgery. The client will experience the images of an operating room with hospital noises and smells in the environment. It also imprints the outlines of the subconscious suggestions for the entire program: eat slowly and consciously, drink more water and exercise more. Session two focuses on food. Especially foods that may be non-healthful or even addictive. Techniques are used to help extinguish the desire for target foods. Emphasis is placed on making healthy food
choices. We reinforce signals that you are full and can quit eating when you are full. Session three reinforces a motivation to exercise. The client is subconsciously coached to admire their slimmer body and we reinforce the good feelings that come out of that image. Exercise is recommended to help continue the slimmer transformation. Session four revisits the first session and “tightening” of the band may happen and the behavior changes of eating three small meals a day is reinforced. The future path is visited and continued success with the client’s goals is emphasized. Session five involves teaching the client how to use self-hypnosis as a meditation technique and to reinforce their weight release goals. It gives the client the tools that they need to continue the program on their own. Whatever your goal, hypnosis facilitates change. Keep the focus on your goals and dreams. If hypnosis sounds interesting to you, please contact me to discuss your goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Carol Juergensen Sheets
My grandmother always said “let nothing disturb the harmony of your thoughts“. Even in the 1950’s she knew that we all have the power to control how we think which in part controls how we feel and what we believe.
Her words of wisdom parallel one of the most effective types of therapy in mental health called cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT). It is a model that advocates identifying what issues you are facing, your feelings about those issues, the thoughts behind the issue, and identifying any negativity within those thoughts. CBT would ask you to write out the situation, identify the feelings attached to the issue and the many thoughts accompanying the problem. Next you would ask yourself what is the worst thought attached to the problem? Let’s take the common tax situation that occurs in April. This task can become arduous if you are claiming deductions and are hoping for a tax refund. As you are gathering your materials, there is some trepidation about the event. Will you have saved all the needed information, will you have the appropriate time to find your documentation , will your taxes be audited, will your filings be accurate, and will you get a tax refund or will you pay? I confess that I can have some negative feelings about tax time. Here is how I felt and how I adjusted my thinking. My thoughts: I feel some dread that it’s going to be a long difficult task. I feel some anticipatory anxiety that I am not sure
whether I will do it properly and or get money back. I feel some anger that I didn’t start this process earlier. I believe doing my taxes will take a very long time. I feel some fear that I may owe some money for the 2018 tax year. The tax laws have changed and I am anxious that I will owe lots of money. I will have to dip into my savings that I am working so diligently on accumulating. My hot thought—the most uncomfortable thought: This is going to take me a long time to get it finished. With CBT you identify evidence that proves your worst fears and evidence that disproves it. You put together a more realistic statement that supports the new thought you have created and then you identify how you feel with your new thought. The evidence that proves it will take a long time to do my taxes: In the past, I’ve spent 10 to 12 hours compiling all my information. Evidence that disproves it is that I can do my taxes and find ways to enjoy the time. I can watch all my favorite shows that I have pre-recorded, or I can listen to music that I normally don’t get an opportunity to listen to while I do my taxes. When I combine watching my favorite tv shows or listening to my favorite music while doing my taxes, I feel better with a sense of excitement that I am going to enjoy this process which alters my fear that it’s going to be a long, laborious task. I have changed that “gloom and doom” to a feeling of “excitement/enthusiasm” which totally changes my experience and as a result makes my taxes feel a lot better. It just makes so much more sense to look at things with a realistic but positive spin because we must go through them anyway, so we might as well find ways to enjoy them!
