OVERVIEW OF H.E.A.L.

HISTORY OF H.E.A.L.
As most of you know, during my quarter century of medical practice, I have committed much time in our community to health promotion and disease prevention.  I have recently been fortunate to be recognized by the City of Royal Oak and the State of Michigan for my efforts (see website for more information).  Over the last year, I have been asked frequently by patients, what they can do to maintain and sustain their health and well being. For many reasons both financial (higher deductibles and co-pays for medications and office visits due to insurance changes) and physical (just wanting to be proactive with a desire for good health) I began working on a program that I believe will meet those needs. 

Therefore, I have created the Health Education and Living program or H.E.A.L. for short.  Many other programs just deal with one component i.e. diet, exercise etc.   I believe H.E.A.L.is unique.  Its foundation is based on simple yet comprehensive effort to fully address the needs for lifestyle modification.  The programs core components focus on accurate health education pertaining to good nutrition, fitness and behavior modification skills all overseen by your family doctor who knows you and your medical problems best.

Most of us are desirous of staying healthy and/or becoming healthier.   Our program is only for those patients that are serious and committed to being proactive about their health.  I urge you to consider participating with our program. I pledge to do everything I can to help you achieve your lifestyle goals and to continue on my mission to try to improve the health of the citizens of our community for years to come.

PREMISE OF HEAL
I submit there are 4 reasons that patients need to satisfy before any program that involves positive change need to apply:

1. MUST MAKE IT SIMPLE-it is!
2. THERE MUST BE A INTENSE DESIRE AND INTEREST TO DO IT-I hope you agree it is time to invest in yourself.
3. IT MUST BE FINANCIALLY POSSIBLY FOR EACH DIFFERENT INDIVUDIAL-I have compared costs of other programs that don't begin to give you as much value and I believe it is very competitive.
4. IT CANNOT TAKE TOO MUCH TIME-it does not. I have specifically built into the program the idea of not having your run around a lot and have incorporated some email support issues.
    

ADVANTAGES OF H.E.A.L.
As your physician, I am in a unique position to have knowledge of both mental and physical issues about your health. In addition I have had the privilege of maintaining and understanding the continuity of that health. Let me give you just one example. For those patients that are on medication for chronic disorders , your physician is the only one who can add or subtract medications for instance for many weight related disorders such as i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, acid reflux and arthritis.  One of my goals would be to eliminate some of your medications as you are succeeding with the program thereby eliminating unnecessary expense and side effects at the same time feeling great and refreshed mentally.  No other program can do that! 

OK FINE, I AM INTERESTED; WHY IS YOUR PROGRAM BETTER THAN THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE OUT THERE?
There are several other advantages that H.E.A.L has over other programs:

1. It is multidimensional and comprehensive-deals with good nutrition, fitness and behavior modifications, unlike many other programs that are presently available.
2. All done in one place-time efficient.
3. Maintenance program for continuity available.
4. Based on value received (see FAQ), costs less than most all other programs.
5. Your personal Physician, one on one, run and overseen-many advantages
6. Cost efficient with financial discounts based on performance.
7. More financial discount opportunities based on referrals of new patients and family members.
8. Reward opportunities even after you have finished the initial program forever!
9. Free goal rewards programs from our partners (see FAQ).
10. Dr. Paul's track record and credibility for award winning health promotion and disease prevention programs
11. All inclusive pricing-no nitpicking or hidden charges
12. Not selling any food or supplements at this time.
13. Maintenance program opportunities.
