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.

Your Body is Hardwired for Hemp! Hers’s How... In 1992 the biggest discovery of our lifetime in medicine was made, and will revolutionize our understanding of health. The Endocannabinoid System – ECS – can be considered the master control system of the body and is based on 2 Endocannabinoids - Anandamide and 2AG - and their cannabis receptor sites, CB! And CB2, located on your cells. The ECS’s main job is to maintain and restore balance while adapting to change and stress in the body. It regulates how you eat, sleep, protect, and how you forget. The cannabinoid, Anandamide, means bliss, joy, delight in Sanskrit. It is the Bliss neurotransmitter. The CB1 receptor sites are most densely distributed in the brain and spine and drives your emotional life. When the ECS is functioning properly you will feel relaxed, grounded, centered, stronger, and calm in the presence of stress and change.
CB2 receptor sites for the 2AG cannabinoid, are found primarily in the peripheral systems and can be found in the immune system tissue and influences inflammation and pain response. When we are healthy we make our own supply of cannabinoids. When we are out of balance, we have become deficient. In those cases we can supply our body a plant-based dietary supplement like Hemp. Hemp has an entourage effect on the cells and receptor sites as it contains over 100 Phyto-cannabinoids (CBD), vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Hemp is Nature’s Multi-vitamin. When choosing a Hemp or “CBD” product, look for a Full Spectrum hemp that uses the whole plant, 100% USDA certified organic sourced, watersoluble for increased bioavailability, clinically researched, and free of preservatives and artificial ingredients. Ultracell fits all these criteria.
Nancy Spahr, CNHP, has stayed on the forefront of natural health solutions for 16 years as owner of Cleansing Waters Holistic Health Center. Her skills, education and study have led her from colon hydrotherapy to Bioenergetic Assessments which can pinpoint the energetic balance of bodily systems, toxic load and deficiencies. Her “Avatar” then outlines an individualized program. Ultracell has become a core remedy in her protocols. Please say “I found it in Indy Metro Woman Magazine!” Thanks!

Does Your Bra Really Fit?” Barbara's New Beginnings is an awardwinning lingerie fitting boutique.

Professional fitters at Barbara's train for 90 days before fitting alone. Truly, every woman can find her perfect fit at Barbara's. Lingerie styles available include lacy French bras with matching panties, t-shirt bras, nursing bras, high-impact sports bras, and more in AAA thru O cup! Indiana native and store owner Barbara Gilbert listens to fitter and client feedback before hand-picking lingerie styles for the two Barbara's New Beginnings locations.

An expertly fitted bra will stay in place no matter how a woman moves and will align the spine for better posture with less back and shoulder pressure.

Are You Willing to Do What It Takes?
Carol Juergensen Sheets
Women want strategies to change things about their behavior but many times they don’t want to do the things that are necessary to bring about change. The dilemma is that they are not ready to make the personal alterations in their lives that will support results.
When clients come in and describe their situations, I have a series of questions that I ask to remind them that the " desired strategies" are behavioral changes that they will need to implement to insure life-long success Does this sound like you? If so, read on and assess your willingness to do the work. •
Are you ready to change?
• Are you willing to do what it takes to change? • What can you do to become personally responsible for your change? To determine your willingness requires some introspection. I would ask that you to spend at least an hour pondering the question, "Am I really ready to change?" If you can answer with a resounding “Yes” then you need to assess are you willing to do “the hard stuff” to effect change? Unfortunately, about 60% of the people who come in for an initial consultation want to change, but they are not willing to do what it takes to change. They are hoping for painless strategies that will make it easier to change. The problem is that change is rarely easy or painless. It is a lot of hard work! Did you know that it will increase the likelihood of success by at least 80% if clients who want to lose weight, will write down everything they eat in a food journal? Unfortunately, many clients aren't willing to make tough behavioral
changes that require discipline. They want an easier formula to make weight loss happen. Unfortunately, goal-setting is rarely easy. I recently met with a middle-aged woman who was easily frustrated and reported having to deal with ongoing stress. I explained that I could teach her skills like deep breathing and progressive relaxation to manage her stress. In a disheartened tone she stated "I want you to help me alleviate the stress. I don't want to learn how to manage it! She was clearly not ready to change. • Lastly, are you willing to change your mindset so that you stay enthused about the change? Can you look at change as an opportunity for personal growth? Can you get enthused about substituting your behaviors? Can you create a positive structure to support the new paradigm? Whenever you embark on change you need to meet it with enthusiasm and energy. If you go into it with a negative outlook it will sabotage your long-term success. Altering your mindset is paramount to creating change. Your homework for the next month is to think of one small change you would like to make in your life. Then, find some quiet time and ask yourself the following: •
Am I ready to change?
• Am I willing to do what it takes to make the change happen? • Am I ready to look at it with a positive attitude, focusing on the energy and excitement that it can generate? If you can't answer those three questions affirmatively, you may not be ready to change. Don't put the cart before the horse. Although wanting to change is a prerequisite for being able to make the very important behavioral changes; assessing whether you are ready to do what it takes is essential for success.
