PALOS HEIGHTS, IL, January 08, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Chiropractor Dr. Richard Sheppard poses the question: "Are you ready for weight loss?" Sheppard is in the process of finalizing a new weight loss product with a launch date of January 15th 2009, at precisely 12:00 noon. To be called Total Solutions for Permanent Weight Loss, countdown to launch at the time of this writing was 36 days, 23 hours, 8 minutes, 11 seconds.
The uniqueness of Sheppard's weight loss program lies in its simplicity and its solid grounding in
proper nutrition. "It is very easy to lose weight. It just takes time," explains Sheppard. "95% of the process lies in nutrition." Since Sheppard began practicing chiropractic 12 years ago, he has owned and operated 7 clinics, including multi-specialty offices pooling resources with other chiropractors, athletic trainers, physical therapists and MD's. Asked almost daily by patients about how to lose weight, he recognized a clear need for a sound program to combat the wealth of mis-information and fad diets that not only were not working work for his patients, but were causing them no end of frustration.
"People typically start (trying to lose weight) by skipping meals, restricting food intake and jumping on a treadmill or bike with no real clue as to how to lose weight, let alone become healthier," explains Sheppard. "30 pounds in 30 days is not a workable weight loss formula, nor is it a healthy one." At this point, Sheppard has recorded several hours of casual, down-to-earth audio on the subject of weight loss, based on reliable nutritional principles - what to eat, how to eat, the basics. "You must assume proper nutrition before anything else - and not just when you're talking about losing weight. It takes proper nutrition to get healthy and stay healthy, no matter what condition is involved."
"In the short term, says Sheppard, "I want to get the program marketed with lots of feedback so the information can be tweaked or added to. The current audio was recorded at my office as time permitted," he adds. " The long-term goal is to get a professional speaker to record the information in a studio. Regardless, the content is the same." His goal is to sell 100,000 copies. Total Solutions for Permanent Weight Loss will also include sample menus and spreadsheets, what to eat, how to eat - straightforward, reliable principles.
Asked what led him to become a chiropractor, Sheppard responds, "I was studying business when I was involved in a minor traffic accident. I was actually considering becoming a surgeon when chiropractic came calling. A chiropractor eliminated my headaches when no other doctor could. He also relieved my chronic sore throats (with no tonsils.")
Dr. Rich Sheppard frees people from pain in his clinic, ChiroSource in Palos Heights, IL. . Sheppard received his Doctorate and B.S. From Logan Chiropractic College in St. Louis Missouri. As a Chiropractor with 12 years of experience, Dr. Sheppard is committed to promoting the total health and well being of his patients.
Dr. Sheppard uses a "whole person approach". This approach to wellness means looking for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and making whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments necessary to optimize the conditions for normal function. Using this unique approach, Dr. Sheppard is able to help patients (people) accelerate and/or maintain their journey to good health.
Sheppard's practice is based on Wellness Care. "There are many ways to stay well, " he explains. "In no particular order, we need to get regular exercise, take specific supplements, cleanse our body, get plenty of rest, de-stress, laugh and have fun, and get regular chiropractic care." He places a high value on his patients' treatment experience and the results they achieve through his care. To that end, his website includes, in Adobe Acrobat Format, a Client Experience Questionnaire.
http://www.becomehealthier.com also provides a veritable wealth of information, covering such subjects as chiropractic today, how chiropractic developed and evolved, stress, exercise, and in depth articles such as Vitamins for Vitality, Your Nerve System and You, Eat Your Veggies and The Rising Costs of Health Care. There is even a Wellness Glossary and a store where one can order supplements, supports and pillows and cute, amusing alternative medicine cartoons.
Among the seemingly countless conditions Sheppard treats: ADHD, depression/anxiety, fibromyalgia, headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, carpal tunnel and asthma.
Testimonials from several patients attest to the excellence of Sheppard's care:
I was one of the first patients with Dr. Sheppard at his new office in Palos Heights. I have been suffering from pain in my hand (carpal tunnel syndrome) and severe pain in the right arm, wrist and numbness in the finger tips. It hurt to pick anything up. My medical doctor injected me with steroids and it offered little help and did not last long. After seeing Dr. Sheppard, I have no burning or sharp pains. I am able to continue my bowling pain free.

I was a previous patient of the office before Dr. Sheppard took over. I was getting results, but it was taking a long time and I was getting frustrated. I consulted my medical doctor, but he only wanted to give me drugs to cover up the problem. When Dr. Sheppard took over, I decided to give him the opportunity to help me. I was impressed that his techniques accelerated my progress. In less than a month, I was 100% pain free and I continue to get adjusted each month for wellness care. My wife and baby get adjusted now too!

I am sure glad I did not listen to my medical doctor (or co-workers). They said don't go to a chiropractor, they will make you worse. Funny how I have no pain after years of pain. I had neck pain, headaches and low back pain. I was referred to Dr. Sheppard and if you have never been to a chiropractor before, he is the one to see. He was thoughtful and explained things at my level. I am upset that I did not try chiropractic sooner. I have never felt more relaxed, at ease, and sleep so well. I now see Dr. Sheppard once to twice each month for wellness. My co-workers are seeing the changes with me. I hope they go soon!
Betty Miller
Coming from a family of chiropractors, good health and of course chiropractic care was always a part Dr. Sheppard's life. He has 3 kids who have never had a drug, shot, or pill in their lives and get weekly chiropractic care to boost their body's health, and to prevent sickness and pain. In fact, Dr. Sheppard's kids all had their first chiropractic adjustment within the first 15 minutes after they were born. Dr. Sheppard states that once one experiences "true chiropractic care,' one would surely choose not to live without it. Why not protect the one thing that is the most vital in this world - YOUR HEALTH.
