Simple Weight Managementfor the Medical Office

PROBLEM ; More than 69% of the American population is overweight and 36% are obese [CDC] that is directly related to significantly increased risks for CVD, strokes, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, etc. And the situation is escalating - we are in the midst of an epidemic - our patients need help.

BACKGROUND : Doctors’ recommendations have ranged from “Eat Less, Exercise More” to in office assistance with counseling, classes, handouts etc., to outsourcing, to formal weight loss businesses in the community. However, the obesity numbers continue to climb. Why?

It is because most weight loss programs are too complicated for the medical office to institute or for the patient to follow. They require major changes in the way things are done in terms of the scripting, patient flow, increased encounter time in the office, or the food • exercise • activity requirements prescribed outside the office. As a result, medical offices either don’t become involved or usually lose their enthusiasm. Patients give up...

SOLUTION : Make it simple - easy for the doctor’s office & for the patient. Our program is incredibly simple. Patients are willing to change if they can see the big picture especially if their place in it is getting smaller (thinner). Make it effective - with a guarantee of results. Make it fun. If a program can do these three things, it will work. This one does.

ONE STEP EXERCISE PROGRAM: It is our belief that the introduction of any time consuming, difficult behavior represents a disruption of an individual’s daily routine that is subconsciously viewed as disturbing the order of one’s life. If the benefit of said behavior, e.g., ‘working out at the gym’, is not immediately visible, that behavior may easily be discontinued.

However, if the behavior is not difficult and not time consuming, then with repetition if will eventually become the individual’s routine - “Start Slow and Start Short”. And multitask to make it even better.

TRADITIONAL ACTIVITY RECOMMENDATIONS (5+ days / week)

1. Walk 30 minutes each day

2. Bicycle 30 minutes each day

3. Weight train 30 minutes each day

ONE STEP RECOMMENDATIONS (5+ days / week)

A. Walk 3 minutes each day at the same time if possible

B. After one week walk 5 minutes each day

C. Keep adding 2 minutes each week until...

Sure, you are not getting there very fast BUT you are establishing a HABIT - and habits are very powerful - and may be lifelong! Plus, many people will walk much further but they don’t have to. No reason not to put in the minimum each day...

This can be applied to any activity. An all weather favorite is the mini-trampoline and multi-tasking [marching on the trampoline, listening or watching something, lifting arm weights.] 20’ = 200 calories.

WHY SHOULD I DO THIS ?: First of all, because you are a doctor and feel a responsibility to do the best for your patients. This program has an excellent track record and guaranteed results or a complete refund to the patient. Unlike other practice activities, yours and your staff’s time is minimal, to say the least...The Foundation for A Healthy America does the follow through and support although you can certainly become involved in this aspect if you desire.

EFFECTIVE GUARANTEED EASY

The other reason is economic. When you start one patient on the 3 month program, you will make approximately $300 - not bad for 10 minutes of work for your staff. If you begin 2 new patients per week, that would be $2,400 per month or $31,200 per year. But just a beginning...

There are quite significant other sources of income you may consider:

1. Each patient is sent with their delivery a Nu Skin catalog with hundreds of items. If the patient is interested, for example, in buying the new ageLOC TruFace Essence Ultra to restore the elasticity of his/her skin, the patient can call 1.800.487.1000 and speak to a Nu Skin product specialist about products ranging from nutrition to skin care to weight loss to even helping starving children.

You receive a commission on whatever your patient purchases, the amount depending on whether your practice attains an Executive status or not:

Title 1 ageLOC TFEU 1 reDESIGN PACKAGE

Distributor $7.50 $300

Executive $15 - $30 $435 - $570

2. The above example is ‘All About You’ - your patients, your time, you...If you would like us to contact other practices you recommend, we will speak with them professionally about your success. If they initiate it in their office(s), you receive a commission of 5-20%.

3. And if anyone you know has an interest in any of the products in the catalog, or even starting their own business, we will be delighted to help them and you receive a commission of 5-20%.
