How Does The Equilibrium Weight LossProgram Work? :

How Does The Equilibrium Weight LossProgram Work? Equilibrium Weight Loss Program works by unlocking the portal that prevents the most harmful and stubborn fat from being released from the fat vault. Depending on your individual metabolism, which we compute for you, 1,000-3,500 calories of fat are burned each day which equates to 4-7 pounds of fat loss each week. No other program in the world allows this rapid fat loss and with many health benefits. 3

Everyone needs due to the significant erosion of vitamins and minerals in our diets. ProOmega Fatty Acids with a high concentration of both EPA and DHA supports cardiovascular and mental health, including heart, mood, joints and skin, meeting our daily Omega-3 needs. Vitamin D3 Emulsified drops (see next page)

Transition Phase: Get Serious About Your Supplements – Vitamin D3 :

Transition Phase: Get Serious About Your Supplements – Vitamin D3 Follow-up lab work: Ask your provider to order a Vitamin D3 test as part of your follow up lab work. The cost is approximately $50 and most health insurance plans will cover it Vitamin D3 is both a vitamin and a hormone. It acts as a vitamin when it binds with calcium for proper absorption. Humans cannot digest calcium without adequate amounts of Vitamin D3. Over 60% of all Americans are deficient and over 96% of people of color and those over 51 years of age. Vitamin D3 deficiency can result in Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Depression, Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Kidney Stones, Osteoporosis, & Neuro-degenerative disease including Alzheimer’s. Vitamin D deficiency contributes to Cancer (especially breast, prostate, and colon cancers). Vitamin D3 plays a role in controlling the immune system (possibly reducing one’s risk of cancer and autoimmune diseases), increasing neuro-muscular function and decreasing falls, improving mood, protecting the brain against toxic chemicals, and potentially reducing pain. 28
