Are any of these scenarios familiar to you?
You have gained weight, especially around the middle and you have tried everything to lose it.
You are so tired in the morning and can’t seem to wake up until 10 am even though you’ve been awake for three hours.
You are sluggish in the middle of the afternoon and your thinking is foggy.
You have a burst of energy around 6 pm.
You are suffering from mild depression, have a decreased sex drive, and find it difficult to focus and concentrate.
You’re not happy with your current job, but if you lose it, it is a stress to your current survival. You’re worried about the financial future of your family. One of your children has developed a health issue and you are worried about her. Your teenager has run away from home and you spend a lot of time desperately searching for any type of news. Where is she? Is she safe? Is she alive? Each day you grow more tired and you feel depressed. During the day you want more energy, but it’s not there.
Where do you start, what do you do, or who do you contact for help? The stress grows with each passing day. Your body’s responds by secreting cortisol to help you deal with the stress. If this response goes on too long your body will have abnormal cortisol and abnormal adrenal gland function. Eventually, you begin to experience digestive problems and issues.
If we could measure the adrenal gland function and understand how to correct it, you could improve and you wouldn’t have to be on antidepressants for the rest of your life.
I can help you regain control and feel better.
How does a phone consultation work?
Dr. Israel works with patients over the phone because the health programs he designs are based on the results of lab tests that can easily be done in your home (with the exception of a test that requires a blood draw. Most tests Dr. Israel uses require stool, saliva, urine or hair samples.) Dr. Israel bases his health programs on lab tests that assess the function of the three body systems: hormonal, digestive and detoxification.
During your initial phone consultation Dr. Israel will review your personal and family health history and make recommendations for lab tests that are appropriate for your specific health issues.
Once your lab work has been completed, Dr. Israel will explain the meaning of your test results to you in a follow up consultation. He will also create an individualized health program for you which will include one or more of the following: diet changes, nutritional supplements, and exercise, lifestyle and stress management recommendations. Subsequent consultations are scheduled to monitor your progress and to modify your program.
How long is the initial consultation?
Your first consultation will take 45 – 60 minutes.
What is the fee for a consultation?
The fee for your initial consultation is $295 for one hour. Length of follow-up consultations depends on how many lab tests you have done and the complexity of your issues.
Fee Schedule:
New Patient consultation: $295 (45 minutes – 1 hour)
1 hour: $295
