Institute For Medical Wellness Healthy Living Report
 
 
Summer Specials:
 
Summer is a time when we all like to kick back and slow down. We like to enjoy ourselves, and indulge in activities that the colder weather does not allow. The summertime is also when our office slows down. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go to the doctor's office when it is warm and sunny outside. But the summer is one of the best times to get your preventive health and wellness started, before the hustle-bustle of the fall and winter seasons.
 
So let me see if I can entice you with some special summer offers:
 
Special Summer 2010 Offer #1:   
 
For any individual, couple or family that enrolls in a Traditional Wellness Plan between July 4th and Labor Day, September 6th, 2010, you will receive one Healthy Weight Program - Lite Edition, normally $99, at no charge. And if you are one of the first three to take advantage of this offer, you may also receive a one-hour massage from Julie Fischer, normally $70, also at no charge.
 
Special Summer 2010 Offer #2:    
 
For Wellness Plan members whose plans are expiring, or are up for renewal, we are now able to offer monthly auto-pay options, with NO down payment or interest charges. So if you have a pre-paid Traditional Wellness Plan that has, or is about to expire, please stop by the office to set up your automatic-monthly payment plan. The new plans are valid for one year, and then continue month-to-month. This offer is valid as long as there is no lapse from your expiring plan.
 
Special Summer 2010 Offer #3:    
 
In the past year, the Institute For Medical Wellness has expanded its ability to offer more cutting edge health and wellness testing and treatments. We will continue to look for the newest and best to offer you, as long as the tests or treatments are safe and effective. At present we offer:
 
1)    Healthy Weight Program-Lite Edition
2)    Therapeutic Massage
3)    Cardiac-CT with Calcium Scoring for evaluating heart disease risk
4)    Omega-3 testing -this index measures your omega-3 blood levels, which are increased by fish intake and supplemental fish oils. We use this test to stratify your heart disease risk and allow individualization of your fish oil supplementation doses.
5)    Specialized cholesterol and vascular risk assessment testing- This group of blood tests goes much further in depth than routine lipid testing. In my view, routine lipid/cholesterol testing for prevention of heart disease has gone the way of the VCR and Betamax. The VAP comprehensive lipid and vascular testing is by far, a huge leap in predicting future risk of vascular and heart disease.
6)    Comprehensive micronutrient testing- this blood test measures intracellular levels of many vitamins and nutrients. It is inside the cell that the nutrients perform their necessary functions, which makes this test a much better indicator of vitamin and nutrient status than routine blood levels.
 
Not everyone needs these tests or treatments. But if they are for you, I would like to make this special summer 2010 offer for Wellness Plan members only. For $99 down payment, you can purchase any of the above 6 tests or treatments at a 20% reduced cost. But wait. Why should I pay $99 to get 20% off? Let me tell you why. The $99 will go towards the purchase price of the first two test/treatments that you purchase. $50 towards the first and $49 towards the second. So your $99 is used only to lock you in to receiving a 20% discount. There are a few rules. The tests/treatments must be purchased and used prior to  January 2011.  And if you are one of the first three to take advantage of this offer, you may also receive a 20% discount card on all of the Institute For Medical Wellness supplements through the end of December 2010. This offer can not be combined with any other offer.
