BeBalanced Hormone Weight Loss Center of Wyomissing Meet Diane.

Diane started the BeBalanced program in April and has lost 50 pounds.

Diane said, “I pretty much felt defeated and depressed before I started BeBalanced.” She admittedly tried many weight loss programs, but the weight she lost always came right back. Diane explains, “Something has reset in my body, and I’ve learned to listen and to understand what I need; I found this in the lifestyle phase. I can eat almost anything now, within reasonable limits.”

When Diane came to BeBalanced she was taking two blood pressure prescriptions, a cholesterol medication, and a blood thinner. She excitedly reports, “My doctor has stopped two of my medications and decreased the others to half their original dosage. My blood pressure and cholesterol are now normal! ” "For anyone wondering if they should try BeBalanced, I’d definitely recommend it, and they don’t drop you after you reach your goal; they leave the door open for anything you need.”

A NeW Day Beginning Wellness Center, Inc.

Heatwaves Tanning Kutztown Established in 2015 by Robert H. Carr, Jr., Heatwaves Tanning in Kutztown started as a traditional indoor UV tanning salon. With the Indoor Tanning Act going into effect, it made the industry more challenging to offer standard tanning services. We offer UV Tanning, Sunless Spray Tanning and Teeth Whitening. Robert’s vision was to incorporate additional wellness services to make for a better UV and health experience by adding LED Red Light Therapy, and a Far Infrared Sauna, but most importantly by educating the general public on a wiser method when exposing yourself to any type of UV rays, either indoor or outdoor. A New Day Beginning, under the development of Anna Kunkleman, started aiding a better understanding of how both UV & LED Red Light Therapy can improve, enhance, rejuvenate and moisturize the skin through collagen stimulation. A New Day Beginning is one of the only salons in the Berks County area to offer a Far Infrared Sauna booth. Stop by and “escape the ordinary.”

Renewed Vitality From patient to practitioner, Renewed Vitality owner Becky McClure, CRNP, experienced the life-changing effects of hormone replacement therapy first-hand and vowed to change other people’s lives too, “1 pellet at a time.”

“The major changes to my lifestyle inspired me to focus on perimenopausal and menopausal females,” McClure says. “Then, I realized it’s not gender specific, and many men experience low testosterone. I didn’t want a single man or woman to suffer during this otherwise amazing phase of their lives.”

Renewed Vitality serves both men and women through safe and effective care that focuses on relieving hormone imbalance symptoms with natural bioidentical hormone therapy, curbing cravings through a Serotonin-Plus Weight Loss Program, and restoring the quality of life for patients at all stages of life.

“I am a menopausal woman who had her life changed by pellet therapy. I live what I offer,” McClure says.
