They even made sugges-tions that we included in ourdesign, which made it stronger andbetter-looking. I was familiar withthe company’s deck work on anoth-er home...in fact an engineerinspected it and told me the deckthey built was strong enough hecould have driven his truck on it!

“There’s something about humanbeings that makes us nearly always‘over extend’ ourselves, no matterwhat we do,” says Dr. Connie Lang,DC, BCAO, owner of Heights AtlasOrthogonal Chiropractic Clinic.“With Fall here, whether it’s pickingpumpkins, raking leaves or playingfootball, musculoskeletal problemscan appear—sometimes even inyoung people. The good news is,most of those aches and pains can betreated safely and effectively withchiropractic care.

“From hefting too heavy a pump-kin, to twisting with the raking, tobeing pummeled playing sports—ourbodies perform many intricate activi-ties throughout the day without usgiving it a thought. That’s the auto-nomic nervous system doing its‘job.’ However, when it is compro-mised, even a little, we suffer. Manyprofessional athletes are treated bychiropractors every year due to theimbalances they create while playingtheir particular sport. Having one’sspine adjusted allows the nervoussystem to function at its very best...and when that happens, then themuscles and bones also function attheir peak level as well.

“With our computerized SigmaInstrument, we can evaluate each

segment of the spine by usingelectronic frequencies and notingwhich frequency is out of balance.This way only the segments thatneed to be adjusted are treated. Mostpatients tell us they notice a differ-ence - an improvement in how theyfeel - after just one session.”

Dr. Connie also urges people todrink enough water, get enoughrest, and eat good, healthy food.

Back pain does not have to be a“way of life”—call for an appoint-ment with Dr. Connie Lang, DC, orDr. Stacy Struble-Landis DC,BCAO.

The Center for Nutrition andPreventive Medicine (CFN) wasfounded by bariatric physician RickTague, MD, MPH & TM in 1996.

Dr. Tague’s nutrition solutionsaddress common problems such asexcessive appetite, food cravings,chronic overeating, “yo-yo” dieting,stress or emotional eating, sluggishmetabolism and much more.

“Our medical weight controlstrategies are individualized, witheach person’s biochemistry beingtaken into consideration,” states Dr.Tague. “We address the reasons aperson may be overweight. It mightbe because of medical conditionssuch as thyroid or hormone imbal-ance...genetics, family backgroundor others. Our nutrition solutionsoffer customized and personal carewith one-on-one individual consulta-tions with a qualified and caringmedical doctor who specializes inhelping people pursue optimalweight and metabolic health.”

Beth Baker (pictured here)weighed 244 pounds before begin-ning her personalized nutrition planat the CFN. She relates her story:

“A serious family event is what ledme to seek Dr. Tague’s help,” Bethshares. “My father had his fourthheart attack last September, and hiscardiologist told my brothers and I

that his heart disease was so severe,we should be proactive in taking careof our health. I was starting to havehigh blood pressure, was close tobeing diabetic, and my physicianwanted me on cholesterol medication.

“Dad had his first heart attack at 38,and I’m now 35, so I knew I had totake action right away. I tried dietingon my own, and just couldn’t takeany substantial amount of weight off,or keep it off when I did manage tolose a few pounds. A friend had start-ed a weight loss plan with Dr. Tagueand was having great results, so Imade the ‘health decision’ to get thatfirst consultation at the CFN.

“The CFN lab workshowed that I alsohad metabolic resis-tance, which was hin-dering my weightloss. Dr. Tague de-signed a nutritionplan that would fitmy lifestyle and helpme take my excessweight off, and I’ll beforever grateful.

“I started my pro-gram just before theholidays last year,which was a chal-lenge, but I gottremendous encour-

agement from my family and theCFN staff, and I stayed on track.

“With my personalized nutritionplan, and increased exercise I wentfrom a size 18 to size 5/6, after aweight loss of 95 pounds!

“The meal supplements weregood, and good for me. I ate everytwo to three hours, so I really neverfelt hungry. I reached my goal thefirst of September and am now onmy maintenance plan - which Iintend to stay on for the rest of mylife! My blood pressure is perfect, asis my cholesterol...I have tons ofenergy and I feel great!

“I love the CFN staff. They know

every patient by name and genuinelycare about them. At one point in myjourney I went out of town andwound up cheating on my plan. I feltso bad about doing it I just ‘beatmyself up over it’....then I received apersonal, encouraging note from adear person on the staff telling me, inessence, that ‘I shouldn’t be so hardon myself.’ Her kind note helped memore than she will ever know.”

“Over the last 15 years I havedeveloped a wellness system I callmy ‘Optimum Weight Loss Pro-gram,’ which is designed to providefast fat reduction and enhance themetabolism,” shares Dr. Tague. “Ihave personally supervised theweight loss of over 10,000 patientswho have lost well over 200,000pounds.”

“We are also gearing up for theHealth Insurance Marketplace inKansas, which will open again onNovember 15th,” says Gina. “Agentsand brokers play a key role in edu-cating consumers about how theMarketplace works. WhileNavigators also educate consumers,an agent can provide professionaladvice to compare plans and enrollin coverage. We strive to find theright plan for each individual.”

“There are many reasons to workwith an insurance agent,” explainsBob Evenson, Senior Sales Exec-utive. “We give professional serviceand advice, taking the time to fullyexplain all of the options associated

with the plan. We also provide ongo-ing service and support.
