What is C-IMT?
C-IMT or Carotid-Intima Media Thickness assessment is an easy and painless procedure now available to you.  C-IMT is without risk or side effects and is more predictive than any other screening available.  For decades ultrasound has helped physicians "see" developments and problems inside people's bodies.  Combining ultrasound images with recent computer software advancements, we can measure and analyze critical regions inside our blood vessels like never before.  Measuring the C-IMT allows us to take a literal snapshot of a person's vascular health.  This analysis is sophisticated enough to assess your individual risk.  It can detect the early stages of heart disease, even in teenagers.

Now you can take a proactive approach and be screened for cardiovascular abnormalities quickly, conveniently and inexpensively.  If detected early, Cardiovascular disease can be prevented.

Make your health a priority.  $165 includes consult with Kim Evans.  FSA/HSA eligible expenses.  Schedule your visit for Thursday, April 14th!  502.253.4554

Health Tip:  New Year ~ New You!  
Welcome to January! - Wow, it's 2016.  A new year - and a great time to create a new you!  Perhaps you want to shed a few pounds - maybe get a little more exercise - maybe a bit more sleep - maybe you want to create more balance between your work life and home life.  Use the mantra - "In every way and every day, I'm getting better and better!"  As Bruce Lipton, the author of the Biology of Belief states, "the function of the mind is to create a coherence between what we imagine and reality."  I'm here today with my colleague Dr. Peter Buecker, and he's going to share a few tips on how we can do just that.


Dr. Peter Buecker:  "Great. Thank you Kim.  It's a delight to be here.  One thing I like to do with clients who are looking to make a change in their life is simply to do a little visualization around that and I thought we might share that today...  So I would invite you just to close your eyes for a second - take a couple of deep breaths.  To the best of your ability, just let go of any tension you might be holding.  And in that clear space of the mind, just invite an image of yourself as you want to be... maybe your most vital healthy well-functioning, well-feeling self - and just notice what that feels like...  Imagine if you could see yourself - what would you look like?  Maybe you've achieved those things that Kim mentioned about having better balance in life - having lost those pounds, having more energy, sleeping better - and allow yourself the experience of being that version of you and maybe just becoming aware of things that are already present in your life that are supporting the realization of this image, and those things which might be serving as a barrier.  And as your eyes come back open, taking this vision of yourself with you every day as a gage as you're choosing something to eat - or choosing something to do - or deciding who to spend time with - or who to talk with or who to share with - just simply asking yourself:  How is this experience serving the realization of the me that I want to be?  Or how is this maybe serving as a hindrance?  And it really can be that easy."

So if you need help creating mindfulness or help doing these tips, give us a call.  It's a new year - a new you!  Remember "Every day and in every way, you're getting better and better!"

This month we are excited to share J.L. Fitzgerald's story!...

"My consultations with IIM practitioners Kim Evans, Jerry Scott, and Dr. Peter Buecker have been life-changing!  Persistent prompting by my dear friend Patrice Joy Masterson of Harmonizing Health Retreat, harkened me to IIM's doorstep.  As a recently retired biologist and first responder, I have experienced life's peaks and valleys from both community and personal perspectives.  I know life is a gift!  A life well lived is the legacy I earnestly desire.  Attaining this life goal however, was becoming a major challenge until I became a patient at IIM-- my cellular self was increasingly screaming at me via muscular and joint pain, gastrointestinal upsets, and nagging headaches along with self-doubt about my future endeavors.  My ultimate smack down occurred while doing stable chores and I was kicked by my beloved filly.  My sense of vulnerableness was overwhelming."

"Traditional medical care was not helping me achieve the quality of life I wanted.  Thus, I confess I approached IIM out of desperation and frustration.  Kim identified my persistent GI episodes as "Leaky Gut" and lab results revealed I have several food sensitivities.  Now, selective organic food is my medicine!  Genotype analysis revealed sugar is my primary toxin!  No more processed food either!  Goodbye brownies, donuts, and Reece's Cups!  Biofeedback results by Jerry Scott confirmed that my endocrine system is out of balance.  Welcome hormones!  YEA!  Mindful meditation taught by Dr. Pete has awakened within me a cellular self-awareness that has promoted healing and self-care while infusing new energy into my every step and thought.  Physical therapy, light therapy, and physical conditioning have complemented my successful recovery on my journey to wellness."

"Returning to my stable duties from a 10 day absence, my filly was repentant and gave me her lovey-dovey greeting which is a soft nuzzle on my heart.  A thoughtful hieroglyphic pronouncement on the stable message board presented me a soulful reminder of the ultimate healing force--love--first as self-love and secondly as shared love.  Thank you Patrice, Kim, Jerry, Pete, Vicki, Jon, Sherri, Debbie, and Ashley.  I am very awake and quite mindful!  "Hello" 2016!"

Light Works Yoga introduces
*Beginner's Yoga for Men
with John Malloy

"I encourage you to step out of your noisy world and onto a yoga mat!"
 
Meet John Malloy:  "As an executive at one of the leading utilities in the nation, I came to yoga many years ago to escape the busyness and noise of this world to seek a more spiritual and grounded life.  Yoga brings together the mind, body, and spirit, thus a more integrative wellness way of life.  Now in my 50's, yoga continues to be a vital part of my life providing universal healing and elimination of discomfort.  In my yogic years, I have found an inner peace that ultimately led me to becoming a yoga instructor.  As an educator by nature, teaching yoga allows me to pass on this stillness of the mind to those seeking a higher and thus better quality of life.  Through yoga we can all strive to be in this world, but not of this world!  I encourage you to step out of your noisy world and onto a yoga mat! Namaste!"

Jan 13: What's In Your Roots?  Personal readings to gain deeper awareness around your life purpose With Elijah's 25 years of experience and over 13,000 private sessions, he has been guiding people on the path of self-knowing clearly, kindly and powerfully using his many tools; including reading your life purpose through your fingerprints, bringing in channeled information, and astrology. 
You will get a mini-reading, as well as group reflection over the course of the evening in this dynamic look inside your life and those around you. 

Jan 14:  Effiji Breath  If you know nothing of breath work, GREAT!  This is a fascinating practice that is guaranteed to stimulate your soul.  It is available to anyone who is willing to encounter the deeper hidden parts of themselves.  Within one minute of doing it you will transport to another world within yourself, just as real as the one you're in right now.  A world, however, you were unaware of before you began.  Its sole purpose is no less than to awaken you to your true Self and to re-pattern your body, heart and mind to be in alignment with that Self. 


EFFIJI... is the next generation in personal growth... EFFIJI is a comprehensive methodology to have clear self-perception & transformation of body, mind & heart... EFFIJI is for any adult... to experience, first-hand, the power & beauty of their soul & how to live their life based on this knowing."
For more information on this work, please visit: www.effiji.com

ELIJAH NISENBOIM   Elijah was living and innovating in San Francisco in the 90's when the New Age was being conceived.  He was there, at the beginning of the spiritual movement.  He not only was a part of the movement, he has maintained his commitment to personal work on himself and those in his community.  Now... he's moved away from the narrow threshold of the New Age and has moved into the more dynamic and real work with people.

Elijah has done over 13,000 private sessions, he's written a book What's In Your Roots? Making the Unconscious Conscious, he's created over 23 albums of original music, and honed his experience of many different spiritual modalities into his own philosophies and brand of teaching.  All of this has culminated in EFFIJI.

In addition to his own innovative work, Elijah has studied under some of the world's most profound spiritual and creative teachers.  For seventeen years, he trained with Tai Chi Master George Xu and lived with him for one year.  Master Xu taught him the cultivation and use of Chi.  Elijah is also a devoted student of world-renowned musician and composer Terry Riley, from whom he has learned the complex system of Indian classical music (Raga).

James Twyman to Share Peace Prayers with
President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad
January 31st, 2016

"What began as a mission to unite millions of people in prayer has transformed into an amazing opportunity for peace.  Plans are currently underway for James Twyman to travel to Damascus to sing the Muslim Prayer of Peace to none other than Bashar al-Assad, the embattled President of Syria."

"This trip is reminiscent of one The Peace Troubadour made in 1998 when he was invited to perform the Peace Concert in Baghdad for Saddam Hussein at the same time the US and its allies were preparing to bomb Iraq.  At that time an email went out that invited people to send their affirmative prayers of peace to the situation and millions of people responded.  There didn't seem to be any possibility of avoiding a terrible conflict.  In fact, at the same time the prayer vigil was planned President Clinton had given the signal for the bombing to begin.  To this day no one knows exactly what happened, but on that night two stand-down orders were given, calling the fighter jets back to their ships."

"Is it possible that in the face of such a focused prayer effort, it was impossible for violence to prevail?"

"We will continue to share the information as it develops, but for now only one thing is important - We need you and millions of other people to join us in this effort.  James is putting everything on the line, and you can join him energetically while he is there."

Who can do it?  "Suitable for all ages and fitness levels... can be challenging or easy depending on students' abilities.  Excellent for elderly, handicapped, and those whose fitness level is low.  Healthy people can increase relaxation and flexibility, and help prevent problems before they get established."
How is it done?  "Qigong can be done standing, sitting, or lying down.  Involves slow movements and visualization.  No special clothing or equipment needed."

What is Integrative Medicine?  Integrative Medicine is a relatively new field of Medicine.  The University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine defines it as "healing-oriented medicine that takes into account the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle.  It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative."  Our approach is leading edge; it makes use of every available tool to set you on the path for optimal health.

Our Philosopy:  The practitioners of 205 Townepark Circle believe in helping people to achieve optimal health in mind, body, and spirit.  Our philosopy is to treat the whole person and to help and support you through many facets of your health and wellbeing.
As Hippocrates said:  "It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has". 

We are excited to partner in your care!

"May Light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
Your Deepest Desires.
Through all that you Reach For,
May your arms Never Tire."
