Reduce or Eliminate your Medications
Imagine a life without medications. Many of our patients have gone from depending on prescription drugs to living a healthy, drug-free life! There is a safe and effective alternative to taking pills for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
The American Medical Association has stated that prescription drugs are the fifth leading cause of death in America. For many commonly prescribed drugs, there is little evidence on long-term effects of their regular use.
It is possible to live a drug-free, healthy lifestyle! Since implementing our Ideal Protein Method, we’ve seen many patients go from taking 5 or more prescription drugs a day to taking none—and those patients have maintained their results for years.
Our medically-designed plan works to address the underlying issues that cause many of today’s common health conditions. By following our method, you’ll stabilize blood sugar levels and burn fat, eliminating or reducing the need for medication for high blood pressure, gout, high cholesterol, diabetes and other associated conditions.
With the Ideal Protein Method, our patient see results such as:
Lose Weight
Weight loss of up to 3-7 pounds per week without strenuous exercise, as well as stable weight and lab values once transitioned to maintenance phase.
Reduce Medications
Reduction or elimination of the need for diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure medications typically within the first 4-6 weeks
Control Cravings
Reduced cravings for unhealthy foods and reduced overall hunger.
Furthermore, with a letter of medical necessity from your physician and appropriate diagnosis codes, you may be able to use a flexible spending or health saving account to cover costs of treatment. You also may be eligible for a credit towards your taxes for expenses incurred while using our plan.
An investment in our Ideal Protein Method will last a lifetime — a lifetime that will be longer because of your investment!
A Patient’s Perspective
I am a great dieter; in fact, dieting is one of the things I do best. I have dealt with weight issues since my pre-teen years and have taken part in all the recognized weight loss programs (Weight Watchers -3 times- TOPS, Atkins, South Beach, Dr. Gundry’s Diet Evolution, Optifast) as well as every fad diet that came along (cabbage soup, cottage cheese, grapefruit, paleo, zones). I lost weight over and over but eventually gained it all back and then some.
This yo-yo dieting played havoc with my metabolism and eventually led me to have some serious health issues, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, arthritic joint pain. Traditional medicine dealt with this by prescribing a plethora of pills and shots, including insulin. My belly looked like a black and blue pin cushion. I could not do any of the activities that I loved.
Several months ago I decided to take the bull by the horns and started the Ideal Protein (IP) protocol, figuring if this didn’t work I would just resign myself to being fat and unfit. IP is a miracle of modern science and Julianna Nikolic and Dr. Cicerone were my guiding angels, providing the support and encouragement I needed to be serious about the protocol. The food is delicious and plentiful (vegetables, 4 ideal protein packs, lean protein and 80 ounces of water). The protocol includes extensive blood work, in depth consulting sessions, and a wonderfully informative set of videos that really helped me to understand what was going on with my body.
I have lost almost 50 pounds, have gone from an XL shirt to a medium, 42 pants to a 34 waist. I try to walk my 10,000 steps (Fitbit) every day and work out with a trainer three times a week. I am in the best shape of my life, I am fit and healthy and am off all of my meds, including insulin, with blood sugar at a non-diabetic level, and my cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels are excellent. I will say that the one downside is constantly having to buy new clothes as my body changed, but as one nurse commented when I complained: “You’re not shrinking, all that goodness is just more concentrated.” Believe me, nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
