I caught Living Well with Montel this morning, while I was cleaning my apartment. This was the first time I have seen the show. This particular episode featured the Ab Coaster, a unique piece of exercise equipment targeting the abs, and included various endorsements from the healthcare panel, users and Montel, himself.
A couple things struck me right off-the-bat.
One. Montel is looking phenomenal for someone struggling with Multiple Sclerosis! His commitment to Living Well despite his illness is so incredibly inspiring I’m almost speechless. I’d like to comment further on Montel and his struggle with MS at a later date.
Two. Way too many Americans struggle with their weight. As cited by Montel, courtesy of a Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Report, 63% of American adults are overweight; 31% are considered obese. And these figures say nothing of the rest of us who diet, exercise, count calories, yo-yo-ing between different numbers on the scale. In short,the majority of us have, at some point in our lives, struggled to maintain a weight/size that is healthy and makes us feel good -- and feel good about the way we look.
It is, for many people, a Challenge to reach a desired weight, let alone maintain that size. Diets and exercise regimens fail because these weight loss methods require a complete restructuring of our lifestyles in order to prioritize Weight Loss; and let’s face it, how miserable do we get when Weight Loss becomes The Priority in our lives? I mean, we have families, kids, hobbies, jobs, passions, vacations…I don’t want Calorie Counting to dominate my head.
Sigh. But here’s the breakthrough:
When Clients step out of Omni-Calm with their clothes a little looser; when they call the next day to say “I’m not hungry at all and I usually have 5 cookies in the afternoon;” when clients get a customized treatment to curb specific cravings. They know that they’ve discovered a resource that makes this constant battle to achieve our desired weight, our ideal size, a whole hell of a lot easier.
Hydrojet Therapy is customized for each client.
We all gain weight in different areas of our body and for very different reasons.
There’s obesity, hormonal weight gain, food-allergy weight gain, stubborn “impossible”-to-get areas around the stomach, butt and thighs, emotional weight gain, weight gain associated with stress, anxiety, toxins, illness, and on and on. Omni-Calm uses special herbs and botanicals with built-in properties to burn fat, increase metabolism, eliminate food-specific cravings, and target the specific cause behind each client’s weight struggle.
When you meet with Darlene for a Weight Loss Consultation ($20 off if you mention my Blog!), she determines the specific cause of your individual weight gain and weight loss struggle. She evaluates your diet, body shape, areas of weight gain, lifestyle, eating habits, health, weight loss/gain history, etc., all factors that allow her and the Omni-Calm Weight Loss Specialists to develop the ideal treatment for your condition.
Feel like you’re a “tough case?”
Many Weight Loss clients come to Omni-Calm convinced they’re a lost cause; nothing can work for them. Not true! Schedule a consultation and see what Darlene has to say about your case! If you’re reading this, consider it meant to be! You’ve found something that will successfully assist you in losing the weight – for good.
Herbs and Botanicals for Weight Loss
Using herbs and botanicals for enhancing health is an ancient practice still used in modern medicine. Nearly 50% of conventional and prescription drugs contain active ingredients derived from botanicals and plant materials, including Aspirin, Cortisone, Morphine, Ethromycin (antibiotic), as well as drugs used to treat Heart Disease, Hodgkin’s Disease, Leukemia, and Ovarian Cancer. (BBC News)
Here are some well-known weight loss supplements that contain herbs and botanicals as active/main ingredients: (thanks to www.weightlosssupplements.net)
Eco SlimTM, Ephedra, Chitosan, ApidexinTM, PhenphedrineTM,LiporexallTM, DecaSlim, TestoRipped, SlendeSlim, Liptofuze, Leptorexin, Lipo-6, Amfedrine, CalmSlim, Betastax, Elite Hoodia, Estrin-D, Trimspa, Reduslim, Thermotox, Slimunique, Zotrim, Zantrex, VitalAcai, Waterex, Proxylean, QuickTrim, Ronaxil, Oxotrim, Nustevia, Kintopill, Fastin, Banitrim…and literally hundreds of others...
Do these herbal supplements work for weight loss? Sure. It just takes a while to see results. What we have with Hydrojet Therapy is a medium through which to accelerate the innate fat-burning properties of specific herbs and botanicals: warm, pressurized water and your body’s natural ability to readily absorb water.
PLUS, a customized blend for your personal weight loss struggle.
“Darlene,” I continued, “that jacket is way too big on you.” This is a jacket I’ve seen her wear many times before. But I’ve seen it when it fit her.
When I first met her, over a year ago, Darlene was a thin, fit young woman. She looked great. She looked healthy. But she was working on perfecting her Weight Loss System and, as with all her products, she wanted to try the treatment before she offered the service to the public. So for the next many months, she put on weight. And I mean, she put on a lot of weight. I met with her often, and by the end of the summer, I became used to a Darlene with an extra round face, bigger arms, bigger hips and butt, larger boobs, and, most noticeably, jiggly rolls around her belly. These weren’t pretty rolls. I knew Darlene was down to only a few pants that fit – and she couldn’t even zip some of them up.
This chunkier Darlene definitely needed to lose the weight. She was carrying too much excess weight for her frame.
Enter: Omni-Calm’s Hydrojet Therapy Weight Loss System.
Hydrojet Therapy uses heat, water pressure and potent, customized botanical blends to effectively break down fatty tissue. Heat opens pores. Pressurized water (jets) softens fatty tissue. Herbs and Botanicals change the chemical composition of the water, and the body readily absorbs the treatment through the skin.
I’m watching this therapy work, and I’m blown away. I sit with Darlene and become distracted while we’re talking. I’ll say suddenly, “It’s like your neck is thinner.” Or: “All those rolls are gone.” I said to her, “Your body is fit and toned, like if I just met you, I would think you spend 10 hours a week at the gym.” But all she did was take a very special, very powerful bath.
Omni-Calm’s Hydrojet Therapy is amazing and there’s absolutely nothing like it.
We’ve got to get the word out.
Sandy is really changing. It’s incredible. When I see her or talk to her, it’s as though I can feel a noticeable shift. She’s the same…only enhanced. More balanced. It’s a change difficult to articulate, because it’s not something you can see. You sense it.
Say you have a friend who starts dating a new guy; she becomes happier, lighter, more herself. She’s the same, but better, because she’s found someone to whom she can really connect. Or you have another friend who comes back from 8 months in another country and he’s “grown” and “evolved.” You recognize him, he’s the same…only it’s as if he’s more comfortable with himself.
The shift in Sandy is similar to these types of intangible shifts you can sense in close friends and family.
For example, Sandy is handling stress as it relates to money and her business in ways she previously could not. Earlier in the week, she faced the possibility of losing one of her biggest clients. Normally, this would cause crippling anxiety and stress for Sandy. “But,” she told me, “I have to say I wasn’t out of my mind.” This was huge! She was so even-keeled and nonchalant about the whole thing. “I did meet with the client and all is very well. For once in my life, I actually felt a peace that seemed real.”
“So far I can say that I feel a quiet confidence and it's just much easier,” says Sandy.
Exactly!
That’s what I sense about her – a quiet confidence and self-assurance that just wasn’t there before. Amazing.“Darlene!” I said, “You are so skinny!”
This was on Friday, when I came in to Omni-Calm to check in with Darlene and go over some of the projects we were working on. I ran into her in the hallway, stopped short, looked her up and down, and let out something like an excited and spastic giggle of disbelief. My eyes were bug-eyed and I had a huge grin on my face.
“Oh My God, Darlene,” I said, “You are so skinny!”
“I know!” said Darlene. And she picked up and jiggled her loose pants, now held together with a safety pin, and moved her shirt around her now flat and toned-looking mid-section. I was literally gaping.
I was speechless. And I’m similarly speechless trying to write this.
Let me tell you what’s going on, and you’ll understand why this is hard to believe. It has been one week since I last saw Darlene. During that time, she completed two Hydrojet Therapy Weight Loss treatments. In roughly 6-7 days, Darlene has taken two (2) heated, pressurized herbal bath treatments and has visually lost a significant amount of weight.
*speechless*
I am very familiar with Darlene and the way she looks – I see her all the time! And I’m telling you, when I came back from my Thanksgiving break, I was looking at a physically different Darlene.
So to recap: Sandy's first treatment for the Trauma Relief will elevate her stress and trauma coping mechanisms so that she’s “prepped” (so to speak) to comfortably release her deeper, imbedded trauma, which she‘ll do over the next several weeks. This first treatment is not yet the “meat” of the overall treatment, and she’s already experiencing an incredible freedom:
“So on Monday I did the trauma/stress treatment. I have been amazed at the change. I feel relaxed. I don’t have that feeling of “when’s the other shoe gonna drop” feeling. When I think back to my childhood I can remember feeling so fearful in so many situations that weren’t even phasing anyone else. I had no idea how to deal with this fear, nor how I even came to be such a mess. So many things are making sense now that did not before. I haven’t allowed myself to even desire to do better than just get by.”
“My attitude has taken a 180 degree turn,” says Sandy. “I’m now thinking in terms of possibilities instead of how I may become a victim of some unforeseen financial disaster.”
In less than a week, Sandy's attitude towards her imbedded, crippling, daily fear has begun a significant shift. When I saw her on Wednesday she was simply glowing! She said she felt connected to her potential to be prosperous; that she somehow knew she was going to be just fine (financially). (Of course you are Sandy; you’ll be more than fine! J )
It’s incredible to see the changes…and the treatment’s only just started
Sandy is a self-employed business owner and single woman living and working in the Denver area. You wouldn’t know it to meet her that she’s holding some crippling trauma. Her face is bright, she’s warm and expressive, very social, a great friend with a great sense of humor.
Sandy experiences trauma surrounding money and finances. She constantly worries and fears complete financial collapse, despite the success of her business. She’s always waiting for the bottom to fall out:
“I mentioned to Darlene that I was stressed over money. Well, this was hardly an adequate depiction. It was more like I [was] close to suicidal over worrying about money and just not feeling like I had a grip on my life. Finally, Darlene got me to admit just how severe my emotions over money were - they qualified as not mere stress, but trauma.”
Sandy was more than willing to use Darlene’s Trauma Relief treatment.
“So instead of a stress treatment, Darlene put me in a Trauma/Stress treatment as a precursor to a trauma treatment to follow. Prior to this I had been feeling so extremely out of control with my life and so worried about my business."
Darlene’s treatment will assist Sandy in completely eradicating her intense fear and trauma surrounding money/finances. Sandy's first treatment in a series will serve to elevate her stress and trauma coping mechanisms. Each week she will undergo a treatment to gently cleanse her mind, body, and emotional state of this stored trauma, until her system is completely and thoroughly cleansed.
I don’t have a traditional MD here in Colorado. My healthcare practitioner is Darlene Vouama, CMI, AHT, of Embracing The Gift. She has consistently provided for me healthcare services above and beyond anything I’ve ever received from both traditional and alternative doctors and practitioners. I knew that she would not only tell me exactly what was going on, but assist me in completely recovering from my reaction. The smartest move would have been to call Darlene immediately after the massage, but, looking back, I know I was in denial about how bad things actually were.
I called Darlene on a Saturday morning. With her work phone forwarded after-hours, she picked up and listened to my whimpering, traumatized account of the Massage-Gone-Very-Wrong. She worked with me on the spot, over the phone to identify exactly what was occurring within my body.
We learned that the massage had released a dormant, autoimmune illness, and as it circulated within my system, it increased in severity. The toxin load was “clumpy” and traditional detoxification methods, such as those suggested by the massage center, were not only completely ineffective, but actually exacerbated the condition.
Darlene was very, very concerned for me. She explained that without immediate resolution, the toxin load would continue to expand and overwhelm my body. My body would become weaker and weaker, and I would most likely eventually drag myself to the emergency room because my system was gradually shutting down. Darlene emphasized: this is an emergency situation. You need to get these toxins out immediately.
Darlene stopped whatever she was doing that Saturday to go in to Omni-Calm, research and prepare a unique one-of-a-kind Flush treatment for me, and spend the afternoon and evening monitoring my improvement. Darlene had never encountered this specific autoimmune toxin response, and she told me she needed time to formulate my treatment; she’d call me back and let me know when I could come in.
As I waited, I processed everything Darlene had said. I had an acidic taste in my mouth. My breath was labored. My arms were heavy. I was in a daze. I hadn’t eaten in a very long time. I was getting worse.
If I didn’t know Darlene, I would have taken myself to the hospital.
Darlene called me back about 40 minutes later. I drove to Omni-Calm. Darlene was dressed like she had been planning to go out, and I felt guilty; rather than a fun evening with friends, here she was Saturday night flushing intense crazy toxins for one of her clients.
The Flush consisted of a special botanical blend. When immersed in warm water, this treatment would simultaneously break down the toxins, support my body’s detoxification channels in releasing/flushing the toxins, and assist my body in recovering from the physical stress brought on by the overload.
Not your typical detox treatment. Something much more powerful – which is what I needed.
The flush felt easy and pleasant. I immediately felt a sense of calm, as if my entire body breathed a huge sigh of relief. I felt different sensations or “activity” throughout my body. There was a cleansing sensation through my blood and the lymph nodes in my neck. There was one point in the treatment where, for short duration, I processed different emotions – feelings of sadness, loneliness, insecurities. I felt the wave of these emotions pass through me. Darlene said these were most likely emotional attachments to the dormant illness, and they came to the surface as the illness itself left my body.
After the flush, I sat quietly and relaxed. Darlene wanted me to rest before I drove home, and she wanted to monitor my body’s response to the Flush. She told me that this treatment would continue to work through the week to completely and thoroughly cleanse my body of all the toxins the massage had dredged up.
Throughout the week, I took it easy. My appetite returned, and my limbs were stronger. Darlene called me on Sunday to check-in, asking how I was doing/feeling and asked me to elaborate on specific symptoms. And throughout the rest of the week, until I came in for an appointment, she called each day to check up on me.
I am very familiar with the power and uniqueness of Darlene’s treatments. But this story, with my rapid and severe degradation of health in the course of 36 hours, how awful I felt, and how Darlene stepped in and made me feel immediately better, immediately safe, that I would be okay – the whole thing was just really intense. I think I’m just still in shock. I felt like I was dying, and then in the course of half an hour, Darlene turns it all around with one treatment. I don’t like to think about what would have happened if Darlene wasn’t there for me.
Omni-Calm is marketed as a Spa, yes. But Darlene also runs a successful healthcare center and when you use her products or services, you get not only an effective treatment, but the best combination of clinical expertise and experience with pampering and genuine dedication to your continued well-being.
Which is why I always come back to Omni-Calm and Embracing The Gift. And Darlene. She’ll tell you she’s just doing her job, but her services and her care are in a league of their own. Thanks so much again, Darlene.
