“Getting rid of toxins and learning how to optimize your detoxification system is essential for creating UltraWellness”. Dr. Mark Hyman author of UltraMetabolism

Every day we’re exposed to hundreds of toxins through our food, water, and air. Seasonal Detox, or cleansing, is a crucial part of health.

Our Detox program is not a fast.  In fact, in a Detox you actually feed your body more—more nutrients, minerals, and nutrient-dense foods. This heals the body and rids it of toxins. The result is better health, and more joy and vibrancy day-to-day.

The Solaris Whole Health Detox Programs include:

• A Customized Nutrition Plan
• Sample Meal Plan
• Grocery Shopping List
• Kits and Supplements
• “How to Achieve Optimum Health” CD
• Four Guided Web Classes with Question and Answer Period
• Email Support
• Daily Inspiration, Tips and Tools

As we all know, it’s easier to make healthy choices when we have the support of friends and family. To create more momentum around diet and lifestyle change, we’ve created monthly Group Meet-Ups at the Solaris Whole Health office.

Group Meet-Up’s vary from month to month, but typically offer:

Tips from the Solaris Whole Health Team

• Recipe handouts
• Lectures from other integrative health professionals
• Opportunities to meet current and alumni Solaris clients
• Giveaways like health-related CDs and DVDs, pamphlets and books, supplements, and foods

If you’re not yet working with us, Group Meet-Up’s are a wonderful way to learn more about our programs directly from current and alumni clients.

If you’ve done one of our programs in the past, but you’re looking for some “tuning up,” Meet-Up’s are the perfect place to get re-inspired.

Distance clients may also attend Group Meet-Ups over Skype.

At Solaris Whole Health, our primary focus is counseling our clients to change their nutrition and lifestyle to achieve optimal health. However, in some cases we find we need to dig deeper to discover more about chronic, core health concerns and how to address them.

For this reason, we’ve connected with local medical professionals and labs to be able to offer our clients a full battery of diagnostic tests. The tests we use are geared toward understanding how efficiently the systems in your body are operating, and what factors might be compromising your day-to-day feelings of vitality.

After we’ve gotten your results, we’ll analyze the tests together and come up with a plan to address the imbalances in your system. Our on-staff nurse then conducts follow-up exams to track your progress as you make changes. The diagnostic tests offer us another angle to understand your body’s functioning, and help us create a more targeted nutrition and lifestyle plan in the short term.

Here’s a list of the tests we offer to Solaris Whole Health clients:

Neurotransmitter and Adrenal Stress Profiles

These profiles help us determine how to address stress-related conditions such as anxiety, fatigue, the inability to lose weight, adrenal dysfunction, poor concentration, insomnia and other imbalances.

Sleep Profiles

This profile is ideal for those who have difficulty falling asleep, maintaining sleep or achieving deep sleep.

Male & Female Hormone Profiles

These profiles are for clients who are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalances, which may include, insomnia, mood swings, infertility, depression, headaches, unexplained weight gain and low libido.

Food Sensitivity Profile

This profile tests sensitivity to over a hundred foods, fish, seafood and spices. The results help pinpoint causes of inflammation, which effects gastrointestinal health.

Gluten Sensitivity/Celiac Screening Profiles

Gluten sensitivity may result in a compromised digestive track. This profile helps determine if antibodies related to gluten sensitivity are present in the body, and also includes a celiac screen.

Candida Antibody Profile

This profile helps determine if a person is experiencing a chronic or acute immune response to Candida. Candida contributes to a multitude of symptoms including fatigue, sugar and carbohydrate cravings, headaches, bloating, mood swings and PMS.

Metabolic Profiles, Lipid Panels ,Vitamin D, Ferritin and Thyroid Panels

These panels are useful when addressing issues related to weight gain, diabetes, hypothyroid conditions, fatigue or high cholesterol.

As advocates for good health, Solaris Whole Health works with local groups and organizations to promote health and wellness in the community.

Over the past few years, we’ve done nutritional talks or in-depth workshops for several local school districts, middle school health programs, and a non-profit focusing on the needs of young women and girls.

Here are some of the organizations we’ve worked with over the past several years:

• Girl’s Group of Middle Earth

Girl’s Group of Middle Earth serves at-risk girls from Somerset County from the ages of 11-14. The program offers field trips, activities, and guest speakers to provide the girls with a range of experiences that will aid them in becoming independent and successful women.

Stephanie presented a lively workshop about health and the pressures of being a teenager to a group of girls in the program. They discussed how to eat well on a budget, body image, the food/mood connection, and eating under stress.

• Project HealthLinks

Solaris Whole Health works with a special educational program called Project HealthLinks, which connects and introduces middle school students to healthcare professionals.

In February 2011, Stephanie spoke to an audience of 50 middle school students about careers in health and wellness.

We’re happy to design programs to meet the needs of schools, local government agencies, non-profits, and community groups. Contact us to find out how we can work with you to promote good health within your organization.

It’s a well-established fact that corporations lose millions of dollars a year due to employee health issues and the resulting absenteeism.

What’s less understood is that investing in employee health also promotes loyalty, job satisfaction, and increased productivity. In fact, according to the Harvard Business Review,  it’s estimated that for every $1 invested on employee wellness, $2.71 comes back to the company—an almost 3 to 1 return on investment!

Solaris Whole Health offers a dynamic Corporate Wellness Series, which includes motivational, multi-media presentations, handouts, recipes, and follow-up email support.

We will meet with Human Resources personnel to tailor topics to address your most pressing needs as a company. We’re happy to design a specialized series that targets your highest insurance costs, and supports your employees to have continued health and vibrancy.
