Wellness Profile
More effective than a Health Risk Appraisal

Purpose

People often ask, "What will actually improve my wellness?"  The Wellness Profile provides an answer. If a person knows the answer, she/he is empowered and at choice to improve their wellness.  If they do not know the answer, they are vulnerable to becoming a victim of disease and degenerative illness.

Background

Dr. Coyne’s Ph.D. work on the science of "Nutritional Symptomatology" was the basis for the questionnaire and the analysis program.  This work was used to help determine what a sub clinical deficiency level is, how it affects the human body and what factors determine a high or very high severity level. The profile is based on statistical studies based on 7000+ people of how they felt and what they did to feel better.  A person’s scores are compared to theirs and suggestions are offered with the intention of decreasing and/or eliminating those symptoms.  Also the answers to the questionnaire help to determine if a person has weaknesses present in their glands, organs and/or other body systems.  Additionally, certain nutrients and/or herbs have been scientifically shown to enhance a person's health and are recommended by the medical profession and government under certain situations. The program asks questions of the client to determine if these situations apply.

 Elements of the Profile

1) Questionnaire. The client completes a series of questions describing how he/she feels and if he/she is interested in prevention in specific areas. The questions are arranged in groups.

2) The total score from each group is entered into the program.

3) The profile provides:

a) Statistical analysis of where the client stands in relation to the norm

b) Information on those areas where the score was high

c) A list of supplements and quantities that have been shown to be of benefit to others with similar scores

4) Additionally:

a) Daily Intake sheets showing what supplements to take with each meal.

b) References

c) Nutritional Selection Guidelines

There are certain things various government agencies (FTC, FDA, etc.) prohibit making claims about. This profile does not claim anything. It is only providing information that various studies show and the results of various clinical studies. No one is prescribing anything. Information is provided so a person can make an informed choice about their health and what options they may have to do to pursue better health.

This profile analyzes a person’s experiences. It is only, in a small way, based on what a person does in their daily life. It is more based on the results of what a person does and how a person lives. Two people with the same lifestyle and eating habits may get different health results. If tests show a person to be "normal" in any particular area, yet they don't feel well or they show signs of not being well, doesn't it make sense that the tests may not be adequate? Again, this is why this profile measures results.

Many factors go into an optimally healthy individual. Here is an overview of many of the factors that go into a complete wellness training program:

a) Nutritious meals, i.e., appropriate amounts of nutritious foods and minimum amounts of , junk" foods. Nutritious foods include: Fresh, whole, raw or slightly cooked fruits and vegetables; whole grains; pure water; soy protein and healthy animal protein. Healthy animal protein is animal protein that is low in fat and has not been fed steroids, antibiotics, and other growth enhancing drugs.

b)  Moderate exercise, both aerobic and muscle strengthening.

c)  Adequate sleep with no sleep disorders such as sleep apnea.

d)  Medications and nutritional supplements. The medications may be needed to combat disease or pain. Medications are usually temporary and are to ease symptoms while the body uses nutrients to repair and rebuild itself. Supplements are needed to build healthy cells to replace the diseased cells. The supplements are intended to supplement a healthy diet, not to take the place of it!

e) Elimination of special problems: being overweight (borderline overweight or obese), smoker, diabetes, etc.

f) Genetic factors may be subdued or reversed with an overall approach to health.

All these factors influence a person's wellness and quality of life. No one factor will provide optimum wellness to the exclusion of the others.
