BodyHealth Launches Optimum Diet Package

Leading natural supplement company, BodyHealth, recently launched a new weight-loss package—The Optimum Weight Management Program. When the homeopathic, amino acid and vitamin package is combined with a 500-calorie diet, the company says most users are reporting weight loss of up to 20 pounds in 23-days. This is comparable to that experienced by people following a HCG diet (based on the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin).

The homeopathic drops help to burn fat, reduce appetite, support the endocrine system and boost the metabolism.  The amino acids provide an excellent source of protein and the vitamin component ensures that the body does not become nutritionally depleted during the weight-loss phase .

“This is an ideal program for customers that want to follow a safe, healthy diet plan,” says BodyHealth founder, David Minkoff, M.D. “Many low-calorie diets are unhealthy because when the body is deprived of calories, it literally robs the bone and muscle tissue to get the calories it needs. Our formula mobilizes excess fat while the amino acid and vitamin components help to ensure that bone and muscle mass are not lost during weight loss.”

BodyHealth also offers a weight maintenance program for those wishing to maintain a healthy weight after the initial weight loss. For details, visit BodyHealth.com or call 877-804-3258 .

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
