The HCG Story... The story of HCG began in the Fifties when, after having done research on weight loss for 40 years and research on HCG specifically for twenty years, Dr. Simeons reported that patients taking small amounts of HCG, in conjunction Kathryn Azhar, Owner with a very low calorie and her staff diet, could lose weight safely and quickly without exercise, muscle loss or hunger. But all HCG is not created equal. The SuperVision Weight Loss program starts with pharmaceutical HCG. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of confusion created by products being sold without guidance that call themselves “HCG” but do not contain any in their ingredient list. HCG is one of 67 hormones naturally produced in the human body, so if a product states that it is hormone free, it's not HCG.

Cindy's Story
For years, I've had trouble losing the excess weight that I put on. I've tried several plans and fad diets, only to put the weight back on. I came to Super Vision Weight Loss when my doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic. I found the program easy to follow. i was glad to have the support of the staff through the entire transition. I am so happy with my results and my new lease on life.
Gary's Story
My doctor was on my case about my blood pressure, and I know that the extra weight I was carrying wasn’t helping that situation. My knees hurt and I just wanted to feel better. I gave Super Vision Weight Loss a chance to help me get the weight off. They were really great!! I lost 38 lbs. in 31 days! My girlfriend is thrilled. I travel for a living and I was able to stay true to the diet protocol even on the road. I’m so glad I did this diet with Super Vision Weight Loss. I feel YEARS younger and I know I’ll never have that belly again.
HCG does not produce weight loss by itself. However, in concert with a very specific balanced diet, and our help in avoiding unexpected environmental or behavioral deviations, HCG will allow the body to naturally pull the nutrients and calories needed from stored fat reserves into the blood stream at the rate of 1500 to 4000 calories per day. We are sure that those who follow our protocol WILL lose 20-30 pounds in 40 days. These fantastic results ARE typical with our full service packages. SuperVision Weight Loss program is not your run of the mill “eat less and exercise more” diet for a slow loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week that seems to take the rest of your life. Our protocol tricks Mother Nature a little, maybe, however only natural processes are at work. Per Dr. Simeons, it is safe and so very effective.

Faith Life can be scary. There are lots of variables out there that directly interfere with our sense of serenity. Many people are unemployed or underemployed because of the present economy. College graduates are unable to find entry-level positions in their Carol Juergensen Sheets fields. We live in a disposable society. Couples don’t work through the hard work of relationships and as a result there is great fear that people won’t hang in there for the long run. In addition, people are concerned that they will not find enough meaning in their life. They wonder if they are doing the right thing. Many people feel overwhelmed by life and operate out of fear. They fear that their child will go down the tubes and never graduate. They fear their spouse will choose an affair over them. They fear they will never find meaningful work within their life. Whenever a client comes in and is overly consumed by their fears, I ask them to practice a life skill called “faith”. Oftentimes in my work, I encourage people to find the faith in their situation. Faith is a concept that is in direct opposition to fear. When you utilize faith to combat fear, you create a belief that whatever’s happening will yield a positive result. It’s the belief that you are not in this alone and that God, or a higher power, or the Universe, will be with you and help you to “gain something positive from the experience”. For many people, it is the belief that things will work out, lessons will be learned, and you will be stronger as a result. When you strengthen your faith quotient, you are relying
on the spiritual part of your being. Spirituality means many things to many people, but ultimately spirituality is “being connected to a belief system that reminds you that every action in this world is important and that your reaction to it invaluable”. When life deals you a challenging situation, it is your opportunity to say, “I will trust that this will work out for the best.” This can be an especially tough concept when you are worrying about someone that you are supposed to protect or direct or when you are afraid of being hurt. “When you practice using faith, you will get more out of life. Imagine if every time you felt fear about someone you said assertively and to yourself, “I believe that I can learn from this experience. I can turn my worries over to a higher power and I will experience a ‘knowing’ of what I need to do next.” Sometimes having a strong “faith quotient” requires doing nothing and letting the natural consequences occur. It can be reassuring to rely on a belief that things will work out without a direct intervention. I guarantee that having a strong “faith quotient” is a formula that will increase your sense of security so that you can deal with issues with rekindled strength and confidence. It is important to note that people who use their “faith quotient” live longer, healthier lives. They experience less depression and less illness, and the depression or illness they experience is handled differently because of their faith. More importantly, people who have a strong faith quotient trust life. I always say, “It is not what happens to us but how we use it to our advantage” that counts. Having a strong faith quotient keeps you grounded and aware that you are not alone. You learn that you must TRUST in the process.

SpotlighTt All the Right Moves to Look and Feel Your Best! "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined." — Henry David Thoreau Stressed? Fatigued? Look as tired as you feel? Daydream about a more youthful appearance and zest for life? You’re not alone. And today, consumers are looking to complementary, or integrative, medicine for answers. For over 25 years, Dale Guyer, M.D. — founder of The Guyer Institute and a renowned expert on chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, and preventive medicine — has helped thousands return to vibrant health using innovative, evidence-based approaches to discover and treat the root causes of his patients' conditions. In 2015, Dr. Guyer complemented the cutting-edge therapies offered by opening the doors of Synergy Spa of The Guyer Institute. With the addition of the Spa, the Institute achieved its goal of becoming the best of the best by offering clients the latest technologies and treatments in regenerative medicine. Recently, Synergy Spa became the first in Indiana to launch Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injection (ALMI or “All Me”) therapy — a revolutionary, all-natural technique of skin rejuvenation. “ALMI is the most exciting thing to come to the aesthetic industry since platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy,” says Denise Kaler, CEO of Synergy Spa. During the ALMI procedure, a small sample of blood and adipose tissue (fat) are extracted from your body, spun in a centrifuge to isolate regenerative stem cells and growth factors, and then injected into specific area (face, neck, hands). The treatment minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restores youthful volume, and leaves your skin looking smooth and youthful. “The beauty of the ALMI procedure is that a person can turn back the clock with a stem cell facelift,” says Dr. Guyer, who also uses stem cell therapy to treat painful musculoskeletal issues. “And during the same visit a person with a bad knee, hip, or shoulder can have stem cells extracted and injected into injured areas — all in about one hour.” Synergy Spa is also one of only four locations in Indiana offering Vampire Procedures — Vampire FaceLift®, P-Shot®, O-shot®, and Vampire Hair Regrowth® — utilizing PRP therapy. Whether you desire to add natural-looking firmness to your face or breast, minimize scars, stimulate
hair restoration, or enhance sexual experience, the nonsurgical Vampire procedures could be your answer. CoolSculpting® — a noninvasive, fat-freezing procedure that permanently removes unwanted fat — is one of the most popular treatments at Synergy Spa, according to Denise Kaler. Deanna McAlilster R.N. “Clients can’t believe the Expert Facial Injecter amazing results, and love the fact they can have the procedure over a lunch hour — no needles, no surgery, no special diets,” says Kaler. “It’s rewarding to witness transformations that make people so happy.” Lead technician Grace McDonald attended CoolSculpting University in California, and is CoolSculpting Certified with an in-depth understanding of the technology and how to deliver phenomenal results. Aesthetic services. Licensed aesthetician Jelena Strauser — well-known in the industry — trained in L.A, Netherlands, and Czech Republic, and shares her expertise — from permanent make-up to micro-blading to facials— with Spa clients.
Benefits of ALMI
—Dramatically improves skin tone and texture —Ideal for sensitive areas — eyes and lips —Instantly visible results —Completed in about 1 hour —No anesthesia or downtime Make the Call: To schedule a complimentary consultation or an appointment, call 317-580-1SPA (1772).

Building a Future “Executive” Have the trailers for the Disney movie “Boss Baby” got you wondering about the “secret life” of your little darling? Is there more going on behind those “big baby blues” than you ever imagined? The answer is a definite yes! While your baby may not be an “executive” just yet, every baby is busily building “executive function” daily! You may have heard of the term “executive function” connected to the development of the pre-frontal cortex of the brain in teenagers. This part of the brain is what helps us to “think about what we think” – organize our thoughts and act on them with consideration. We inhibit (stop) actions that might not be the best idea, while recalling processes (such as directions) and putting them in the correct order. You can easily see how this skill affects driving, for example. Waiting to make a left turn onto a busy street requires a lot of impulse control and ordering of actions! While we see executive function issues in teens, we are becoming more and more aware of how those skills develop from infancy. The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard (www. developingchild.harvard.edu) has been doing extensive work on how children build these skills over time. The development of inhibition and working memory are good examples. How do we learn to stop ourselves from doing things we want to do, but shouldn’t (inhibition)? One way is to simply learn to wait for an expected reward. “Where did Mommy go?” – (wait, wait, wait) “Peek-a-boo!” Did you realize “peek-aboo” was building your baby’s brain? Another brain-building skill is to teach your child to remember a rule or warning (working memory) and repeat it to themselves to help them inhibit their behavior: “Don’t touch! Hot!” “We pet the doggie, we don’t pull his tail.” Eventually it becomes “Don’t take candy from strangers” and “Call me if you are in trouble” , You get the idea!
Another aspect of executive function is ordering our actions. This involves both inhibiting the first thing we think of, and manipulating the series of potential actions mentally through working memory. It starts with things like learning the sequence of toileting (“Did you wash your hands?”) and dressing (putting on socks before shoes) and eventually results in completing a long-term homework assignment by actually starting it two weeks before it is due. You can help your young child develop this skill by talking about how you order your tasks. “Should we pick up Sally before or after we stop at the library?” Also talk out loud about your reasoning processes: “I am really hungry, but if we stop to get lunch now, I’m afraid we will be late and Grandma will be frustrated. I think we should pick up lunch and eat on the way.” Even if your child doesn’t participate in the process, hearing your reasoning and predictions about the outcomes helps them to understand how you process information and make decisions. Take the time to talk about your life with your children. Share the way you make decisions and how you feel about them, and talk about those processes in books, TV, and movies. Practice organizing and using schedules, and talk about when and how you need to change them. All of that will pay off in the development of their executive function in high school and beyond! May is National Speech and Hearing Month – enjoy talking with your children. Teri Ouellette, MS Ed, LSLS Cert AVEd President, St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf Suskind, D. (2015). Thirty million words: Building a child’s brain. New York:Dutton.
