Health News: Traditionally a Time For Resolutions & Why I Don’t Make Them Anymore!
Article By Dr. Jim Campbell
Wow! It’s New Year’s, and of course, our thoughts turn to new beginnings and resolving to do something about our health, our weight, our looks and habits… something! Well, last year, my wife Molly and I made some changes in our lifestyle that have had amazing and long lasting effects so that we don’t have to make those resolutions this year.
The changes had to do with nutritional cleansing and weight loss. I credit my wife for finding the program and having the vision on this one because I really didn’t think that after all the things we’d tried over 20 years, that anything would really work, BUT the result was that we lost 105 pounds- - I lost 55 and she lost 50—and we have kept it off for this whole year! This is the first anniversary of a New Year’s where we are NOT resolving to do something about a problem that had been bothering us for the last couple of decades.
My wife, Molly, discovered the program called Isagenix that helped us both get over our dependency on carbs and caffeine and gave us dramatic weight loss results. It taught us some basic rules and helped us learn a simple schedule for pure food intake and increased water consumption. My patients back in New Jersey were so interested in our physical changes that they petitioned Molly to help them, too, and her life as a Weight Loss Coach was born! She’s had a terrible time with her weight for so many years but now after successfully getting us to the 1 year mark and coaching scores of people to their goals as well, she “owns” the title.

Your head and heart has to be in it for your body to change. She will not accept a client to coach during the holidays, she knows that there is just too much temptation and too much of an uphill battle at that time. She makes sure that the person has at least ten days to begin the program without an event like a wedding, reunion or big party where the temptations might just be too much or the explanations would be just too inconvenient. It has worked well for her clients. I have similarly found that my patients must have the desire to change, to get out of discomfort or pain and change the way they think before my adjustments, cold laser or detox programs will be effective. The way you think can really help to relieve pain. There is a connection to how and what you think and how well you feel...Read More
