Check back frequently. Soon we will have our webinar available for all to see.

Dr. Erickson's Body Shape Webinar Highlights:

Most people are wasting time and effort trying to lose weight simply because they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BURN THE FAT.

Watch this webinar to learn HOW THE BODY BURNS FAT. Dr. Eric, researcher and author, has observed that most people fall into one of four distinct body shapes. Interestingly, each body shape (or type) has a list of very distinct characteristics. Since the metabolic rate is controlled by hormones and hormones are influences from what you put IN your body and HOW you exercise, would it not be vitally important to learn how it all works? This seminar will educate you and give you important insights and strategies into body types and the nature of how each one burns and stores fat.

Our Weight Loss Webinar take you way beyond just dieting as there are many factors to the hormone-influences of weight loss. Did you know there are over 600 hormones in your body? And out of the 600 hormones, around 6 of them are responsible for burning fat. And each of these 6 is influenced by foods, exercise, sleep, and stress. The goal is to use all of these factors to fit the body type.

Skeptical? Sound too good to be true?

You need to be skeptical. This is a healthy thing. There is so much garbage being promoted that it’s hard to sift through the good from the bad. Our webinar is not a sales pitch to get you to buy the latest weight loss pill – it’s a valuable educational experience in creating health so you can lose weight. If it makes sense to you and you decide you want a consultation on your specific program, it’s up to you – no pressure.

What you’ll learn at the Seminar

  • The four different types of fat, and what’s really behind each one.
  • The biggest reasons why most people have a difficult time getting into
  • Fat-burning, despite lots of exercise and diet.
  • Strategies to improve belly fat including a full understanding of the activation-recovery cycles of exercise.
  • How to reduce cravings to the things that are unhealthy.
  • Find out why many people plateau with their weight within the first two weeks of any program.
  • Learn what time of the day the body best burns fat.
  • Find out more about your body type.
  • Find out what body type should NOT be exercising.
  • The three things that nullify fat-burning hormones.
  • The single biggest mistake people make while exercising, which will slow fat burning.
  • What potential imbalances a body could have when it craves sweets, starches, breads, chocolate, chips, ice, or grapefruit. Different cravings indicate different things.
  • The “drink more water” myth, and why drinking more water might not help you lose or burn fat.
  • Learn the menopausal connection to weight gain.
  • Why calories look at fat-burning hormones differently.
  • Learn why the “consume-less-fat” myth might not help you with weight loss.
  • Understanding of the fat burning influences over food and exercise.”

Why our seminar can help you

Let’s assume you are doing everything right – your eating is perfect and your exercise is consistent and correct for your body type. What else should you look for? I first check on anything that could be increasing cortisol – lack of sleep, pain in the body, stressful environment, or even hot flashes. I’ll have the person work on these. I will also look at the medication they are on, as this could be the main reason they are not able to lose weight. And by the way, check with your doctor before coming off the meds.

The medications that cause weight gain are as follows:

  1. Insulin
  2. Prednisone
  3. Hormonal Replacement Therapy and Birth Control Pills
  4. Diuretics
  5. High Blood Pressure Meds
  6. High Cholesterol Meds
  7. Especially Psychiatric Medication – Prozac, Zoloft, etc.

Then I make sure there are NO sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners in the diet, which cause major water weight accumulation. I try to find out what problem the individual is trying to solve with regard to the medication. It might be a hot flash or some inflammation or depression. And I then call the doctor and work with him or her as a team approach. I get the doctor’s permission to used natural remedies. This works very well because the patient then gets the supervision of us both and the natural remedies have no side effects. Other barriers could be flavored yogurt, sugar in salad dressing. MSG in restaurant foods, or too many occasional junk foods. The person will tell me, “It’s just a little bit.” But that little bit is enough to prevent the whole thing from happening.

Your Immune System, Viruses and Stress

Viruses, interestingly, are not alive. They could be compared to a floppy disk with pre-programmed instructions. They lie dormant until they can be injected into the cell, like inserting a floppy disk into the computer drive. Viruses become alive or active when your cells allow them to come through the door. They can be inserted into your cells when your resistance to viruses becomes weakened.

Viruses depend on your cells for their life force. They can only reproduce off your cellular material. All a virus has is the blueprint, or a copy of the blueprint, to reproduce, nothing else. The copy machine is in your cells. Viruses have NO power over you unless your cells give them access to the copy machine.

You can never fully kill viruses because they are not alive in the first place. They instead go into inactive mode or what is called remission.

So, what is the real cause of this problem?

Your cell RESISTANCE!

If you keep your immune system strong, no viruses can penetrate.

What is the immune system? It is the body’s defense mechanism against disease, infection and foreign substances. It is composed of several organs and glands: the liver (deactivator of immune cells), bone marrow (producer of immune cells), the thymus (training camp for white blood cells), the adrenals (anti-inflammation and immune cell effects), the spleen (immune cell recycling center), and the lymph nodes (location where it all happens).

The biggest thing that lowers cell resistance is SUGAR. That is the worst thing to consume when you’re feeling run-down. But what do we give children when they’re sick or in the hospital? Jell-O, ice cream, etc. That’s why you develop mucus and sinus congestion the next morning after eating BBQ ribs and chicken. There’s lots of sugar in the sauce.

The next biggest item that lowers resistance is stress. Ever notice that stress precedes getting sick? Other than moving to a dessert island, you could do the following: (1) do aerobic exercise one hour per day; (2) get extra sleep each night (8 hours); and (3) associate with people who support and lift you.

—What is your Body Type? – Knowing your Body Type is the FIRST clue to successful weight loss.—

LIMITED TIME OFFER: 2 FREE Visits with Dr. Erickson.

START by taking the Body Type Quiz below.

Hi, my name is Dr. John Erickson, DC. I want to teach you some vital information, revealing why you’ve been having such a rough time losing your belly. Losing weight is not ROCKET SCIENCE. It shouldn’t be difficult, but it must be done correctly.

The truth is you cannot lose stubborn belly fat through low calorie dieting and hard-core exercise. The most common error in losing weight is INCORRECT SEQUENCE. People focus and work harder and harder on their weight, hoping to see the weight change and get healthy. What they should do instead: redirect their focus on “getting healthy” first. This is because your weight “fat” is dependent on your overall health.

Now comes the question of, “How do we increase someone’s health to have the weight come off?”

We have that one figured out and we’ll show you how!

Start by taking the Body Type Quiz to identify which of the four body shapes yours is. Bring this information with you to the Seminar to learn more about your body’s specific needs and how to finally be successful!

This program is not new, over 35,000 people have experienced this unique and highly successful approach to getting healthy AND losing weight. The program has been spotlighted in magazines, books, TV and Radio.

Dr. Eric, the author of The 7 Principles of Fat Burning (the #1 Amazon.com Best Seller) and developer of the four body type system of weight loss – a powerful health-creating program that can make it easy to lose belly fat in specific places, has observed that most people fall into one of four distinct body shapes.

Losing belly fat weight isn’t easy, but there are a few easy changes you can make that will pay off in pounds lost. Our “Quick Tips” bring you the easiest weight loss tips that really work. These seven changes will help you stay on track as you continue losing weight.

Stay Stocked UP

Always keep your kitchen stocked with healthy staples, such as fruit, yogurt and whole-grain cereals. When you run low, purchase more. Being without a healthy option leaves you too open to temptation.

Spice Up Your Workout

If the colder months have you spending more time in the gym, you may find yourself getting bored doing the same thing every day. Switch it up by trying something new. Try Pilates one day, kickboxing later in the week, and take a swim over the weekend. You may discover a new activity that you really enjoy.

Say Yes to Smoothies

Swap your morning coffee for a smoothie. Sipping this treat will not only satisfy your sweet tooth, you can include protein by adding a food such as almonds, or protein powder that will keep you feeling satisfied until lunch without having to sit down to a meal if you’re too busy to prepare and eat one

Curb Your Dinnertime Appetite

Going out to dinner tonight? On your way out the door, grab a small apple or banana from the fruit bowl and munch on the way to the eatery. Doing so will help control your appetite. You will be able to “just say no” to the bread basket or appetizers, yet you won’t be so full that you won’t enjoy your meal.

Pop Quiz Yourself on Portions

Even if you’ve learned to “eyeball” serving sizes, do a self-check every so often. Dish out what you think a standard serving is for each food you consume, and then measure an actual serving, and compare the two. You may find your idea of a serving has grown in time without your noticing.

Ad-time Exercise Adds Up

Get up and exercise during commercial breaks when you watch television. Little bursts of activity can benefit you just as much continuous sessions. During the typical hour-long show, you will exercise approximately 17 to 20 minutes if you move during every commercial!

Downsize Plates

Consider using a smaller plate. Research has shown that we tend to take larger portions when we use larger dishes. Use a dinner plate no larger than 9-inches in diameter and make a point to fill half of it with fruit and vegetables.

The Body Shapes Program was developed by Dr. Eric Berg.

Although not the originator of the different body shapes, Dr. Berg had simplified the process by identifying the four major body types. These body shapes are named after the organ/gland that contributes to the unique distribution of weight.

Dr. Berg has made many appearances on both television, radio, magazine, book and internet.

My name is Dr. John Erickson DC. I am the director of the Health and Wellness Center.

You and I both know that traditional dieting doesn’t work. You have only to look around to see people everywhere struggling in vain to lose weight. Those few who do seem to lose it only gain it back again (plus more). Yet still you see people jumping from one “latest and greatest” program to “the next big thing” hoping that this one will work; this will be the one.

No wonder people are frustrated, discouraged and depressed when it comes to dieting and losing weight.

(There is a good chance that you are one of these people.)

So, how do you cut through the current dieting hype
and get real results? Read on…

My mother used to say that “DIET” was actually “DIE” with a “T” on the end. We have come this far.

If you think about it, losing weight is more than just shedding pounds – you want to FEEL good too!

Lets say you do manage to reach your goal weight, but still have no energy, don’t sleep well, have hot flashes, low will power, can’t play with the kids, sore bone and joints, etc. Have you really gotten what you wanted?

Is losing weight really that great if you can’t enjoy the new you too? The women (and men) that I speak to want to look better AND feel better. They want to have the energy to play with their kids. They want to be active grand parents. They want to feel more confident in how they look and act. They want to feel more…ALIVE!

  • Myth: Counting calories leads to permanent weight loss.
  • Myth: Hard exercise is the best way to lose weight.
  • Myth: Cutting fat is a healthy way to drop the pounds.
  • Myth: Protein powders, shakes, bars and synthetic foods create a healthy, slimmer you.

Perhaps the biggest one of all…

  • Myth: You have to lose weight to get healthy.

The Body Type Weight Loss Program by Dr. Eric Berg is the ONLY program that truly focuses on the cause of stubborn belly fat. It focuses on correcting the underlying body malfunction – not on manipulating your calories, cutting your fat intake, making you exercise harder and longer, putting you on un-natural packaged foods.

You Body Type is the first clue on where to start. It is the key to beginning the journey to a healthier, slimmer you. You Body Type is influenced by hormones…yes, that’s right…hormones. Your body has  6 Fat Burning Hormones and 3 Fat Storing Hormones.

Successful Weight Loss – in a nutshell – is:

Triggering the Fat Burning hormones while…

Suppressing the Fat Storing hormones.

Each of the hormones (whether fat burning or fat storing) have triggers and suppressors. You have to learn what those are. That is where I come in. I can help you!

You see, there is hope after all – you are not broken beyond repair, you can lose weight AND feel better.

You really can have your cake and eat it too…well maybe not cake, but something more else more health and eat it too!

I am offering you a FREE Consultation. A risk-free opportunity to find out what is really behind your frustrating weighth problem. Fill out the form to the right and you will receive a call to determine if you are a candidate for our program – if you are, you will be invited to my office for a free Fat Burning Consultation and Evalaution.
