Is a Photofacial for You? Recently, I met a man over age 60 with beautiful skin and no visible signs of sun damage. Knowing that this gentleman lived in Florida half of the year, I was naturally curious to understand what he was doing that created such clear and wrinkle free skin. His reply to my question...Photofacials. A Photofacial used in conjunction with Intense Pulsed Light or (IPL) is used to treat scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and sun damaged skin. The IPL stimulates the deeper layers of the skin, to produce collagen, which in turn tightens the outer layers of the skin, thus creating healthier and smoother skin. The Photofacial is a non-ablative treatment which does not damage skin like a chemical peel or dermabrasion that can cause downtimes. Photofacials allow you to leave the spa with make-up on 4
and no visible signs of treatment. Most clients undergo a series of 5 to 8 half hour treatments, about 3 weeks between each treatment. After the first Photofacial, treated skin should feel smoother. Like other laser-based procedures, the IPL Photofacial's light beam typically feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. IPL Photofacial is a low risk non-surgical procedure with clinical proven results. Photofacial results are long lasting, if you undergo the prescribed number of treatments. During your consultation a professional will look at your unique case and let you know exactly how many treatments you would require to see the results you are looking for. A skin regimen can be carried out at home to maintain the results.

Prepare for Cold & Flu Season... A clean internal system is especially important during the cold and flu season. Each breath one takes in travels through the lungs and is transferred to the bloodstream and sent throughout the body to each cell. If the body is already overloaded with toxins, then organs Nancy Spahr, such as the lungs Founder become weak and unable to effectively filter incoming pathogens. Thus, the body becomes more susceptible to colds and flu. The best starting points for maintaining health through any illness is living a healthy lifestyle. Small steps such as getting rest, eating well, drinking water and daily exercise provide the body with what it needs to build a healthy immune
system. Cleansing Waters is dedicated to educating and assisting one with this lifestyle. “We know to achieve good health and maintain it, there has to be a balance between nourishing the body and cleaning the toxins that have accumulated there, particularly in the digestive system,” Nancy stated, “so we also teach basic Body Ecology Diet principles and discuss the benefits of drinking alkalizing ionized water as a very important part of achieving good health.” The Body Ecology Diet incorporates foods that have high amounts of friendly bacteria that enhance the immune system and balance the internal ecosystem. Cleansing Waters also has a range of products and therapies to keep your lungs and immune system running strong throughout the season: whole food supplements, internal cleansing products, non-toxic body care, alkaline water, and home ionizers. If looking to avoid the cold and flu this year, Cleansing Waters is the perfect place to start.
To learn more about improving your digestive and colon health call Cleansing Waters - a Colon Hydrotherapy and Body Ecology Center dedicated to empowering the individual in reclaiming health and wellness in a natural and sensible manner. 317-259-0796.

Would you like to eat and think healthy, release cravings, have more energy and increase self confidence? The power is within you to change! Indiana Integrative Hypnosis provides you with proven techniques to teach you how to harness the power of your mind. You will learn to develop and use the abilities within to lose weight which will enable you to live a more rewarding life while nurturing your mind, body and spirit. When you want to lose weight it is a conscious thought which is only 5% of who we are. But our subconscious mind is 95% of who we are. The 5% conscious effort (Will Power) is outweighed by the 95% subconscious which is always trying to protect us and that is where emotional eating comes in.

Through hypnosis you will learn to relax your mind and body to a natural, safe state that allows direct communication with your subconscious mind. This is the part of your mind that is responsible for storing memories, emotions and regulates your body temperature. Hypnosis helps to find and remove the root causes, patterns and programs that make it difficult to lose weight while at the same time helps you to envision your successful future. Join me for a Weight Loss Workshop on Tuesday evening December 17th, and learn tools to stop cravings and how holding on to negative emotions “weigh� us down.

Women and Anger: The Onion Theory Learning how to identify and express anger is an investment in yourself and in your relationship with others. Women typically avoid anger. They ignore it because it is such an uncomfortable feeling. They have not been taught that anger is energizing, liberating, productive, and invigorating. Conflict and anger is natural, necessary and normal and it can motivate you to take necessary steps to change your work environment, assert yourself with your family and get motivated about what you are doing. Not only is it a necessary emotion to process conflict, but it actually can bring people closer, if handled appropriately. You heard me right...in healthy relationships, when conflict is experienced ...it may cause strife at first but then it breeds intimacy and you should feel closer as a result. Men have been socialized to recognize their anger as a normal emotion. They have been taught to channel it appropriately by directing it verbally, dealing with it competitively, and “physicalizing" it through sports and activities. Were you taught to use any of these methods? Imagine women’s emotions like being an onion. When you peel away the top layer of the onion, you see the emotion sadness. If you peel away the sadness, there would be anger underneath. Often times women don’t get past the sadness. Sadness is an important emotion, but it typically doesn’t mobilize us into action. Anger is much more proactive and moves you to a place where you can resolve issues. Women need to get more comfortable with their anger. Here are some techniques to help: Acknowledge what you were taught about anger as a child. What messages did you receive about anger as a child? It is unlikely that your parents taught you how to channel your anger, or they may have given you advice that wasn’t physically healthy. Women historically have been encouraged to suppress their angry emotions. When you deny your anger, you naturally lose touch with your wants and desires. You create an internal sense of numbness, and lose a sense of who you are. 20
Acknowledge it! Write down three things in the past that Carol Juergensen Sheets have made you angry. Anger is a necessary emotion. You may have gotten angry in the past about your husband clipping his toenails in the living room or your teenager who doesn’t pickup after himself or the boss who doesn’t recognize your work. By writing it down, you externalize it and move it from inside the body to outside the body. Talk about it! Find a supportive person who can encourage you to share your angry feelings. Find a safe person or place to share your anger. Your best friend or a women’s support group can be a tremendous resource as a vehicle to acknowledge anger. List the ways that you usually express anger. Do some self evaluation and decide if you believe that you channel anger in a healthy way. Some women avoid it, or become passive-aggressive which will not assist you in using it productively. Find a role model who deals with anger and conflict directly. Is there someone in your life who expresses anger directly and then is able to let it go? Look for role models and then talk to them about your thoughts, feelings and fears about expressing anger. Remember anger is natural and a necessary emotion. Practice assertiveness and share your angry feelings and discuss ways to move beyond it. Stay steadfast in your desire to work out conflict. It can guide you in positive ways! Carol Juergensen Sheets LCSW PCC is a psychotherapist and personal life coach. She does motivational speaking and empowerment trainings locally and nationally.

How to Make 2014 Your Best Year When it comes to making 2014 the best year of your life, the secret is to figure out the “one thing” that if you achieved it, would change your life so dramatically that it would make for the best year of your life.
Identification
In my book “This Is Your Year to Design & Live the Life of Your Dreams”, I take you through a process that vets out your entire life: your core values, strengths, weaknesses, ambitions, fears, purpose and inner most passion to try and help you discover your most important dreams and then basically the ONE goal that matters most in your life. Action: That’s your first challenge: figure out your ONE THING that if you achieved it would make this your best year ever. Now let me help you achieve your one thing…
Motivation
You will be tested. You will encounter obstacles. It will be yucky at times. You will want to quit. So, you need a significant reason WHY you want to forge ahead and continue to pursue and persist through the pain, obstacles and yucky stuff. Action: Figure out your Big Why.
Self-Discovery
List the one key behavior most important to accomplishing your goal, your “one thing.” You are one key behavior away from a massive transformation in any area of your life. Think about it: Your business results? A few consistent behaviors could massively transform your results. This is true in your health, parenting, networking, and leadership…any area of your life. Action: Figure out the one behavior most important to accomplishing your “one thing.”
Habit
Of course for that behavior to add up to
by Shelly Aristizabal
anything, it needs to become a habit. Habits are those things you eventually do without thinking about them. One of the key strategies to developing new habits is to install that key behavior into a routine—something in a predictable sequence that removes thinking from the equation.
Sticking With It
Everything measured improves. Tracking keeps your awareness on your key behavior long enough to where it eventually breakthroughs the automatic habit barrier. Inside “This Is Your Year” is 52 weeks, 365 days of inspiration, information and action to help you design and live the life of your dreams. Accountability: You will be more accountable to other people’s scrutiny than of your own. Use this to your advantage. Action: Find someone you know, like & trust to share your goals & dreams with - ask them to help you stay on track. Associations: You become who you hang with. If want to stick to the behavior and habits you need to accomplish your “one thing” you MUST get around those who are committed to that same behavior and habit patterns. Period. Thoughts = Destiny: You will want to bombard your mind with supporting ideas, inspiration, information and resources that will support your sustained motivation to sticking with your goal. Action: Figure out your supporting information and personal development plan. At Business Women Connect we want to help you make 2014 “Your Year”!

The HCG Story... The story of HCG began in the Fifties when, after having done research on weight loss for 40 years and research on HCG specifically for twenty years, Dr. Simeons reported that patients taking small amounts of HCG, in conjunction with a very low calorie diet, could lose weight safely and quickly without Kathryn Azhar, Owner exercise, muscle loss or and her staff hunger. But all HCG is not created equal. The Pounds and Inches Away program starts with pharmaceutical HCG. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of confusion created by products being sold without guidance that call themselves “HCG” but do not contain any in their ingredient list. HCG is one of 67 hormones naturally produced in the human body, so if a product states that it is hormone free. HCG does produce weight loss by itself. However, in concert with a very specific balanced diet, and our help in avoiding unexpected environmental or behavioral deviations, HCG will allow the body to naturally pull the nutrients and calories needed from stored fat reserves into the blood stream at the rate of 1500 to 4000 calories per day. We are sure that those who follow our protocol WILL lose 20-30 pounds in 40 days. These fantastic results ARE typical with our full service packages. The Pounds and Inches Away program is not your run of the mill “eat less and exercise more” diet for a slow loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week that seems to take the rest of your life. Our protocol tricks Mother Nature a little, maybe, however only natural processes are at work. Per Dr. Simeons, it is safe and so very effective.
Carolyn's Story
After
About a year ago, I’d given up on ever losing the weight I had put on over the past 10 years. I Before tried everything out there and nothing worked. One day I saw an ad for Pounds and Inches Away in Castleton. I called them and decided to try their HCG Weight Loss Program.
I started the program in September of 2012and was amazed how easily the weight came off. The staff at Pounds and Inches Away were very supportive and helpful. They were always available to answer my questions. They even called me to help with my accountability. Yes, I had to follow the program, but with their direction I was able to lose weight and keep it off. I completed two rounds between Labor Day 2012 and Easter 2013 – and I lost 52 lbs. Losing the weight made me realize – I wasn’t as old as I felt! My blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is improving. My health, overall, is significantly improved from a year ago. It wasn’t easy, but it was absolutely worth it. I feel alive again and it’s all because I walked into Pounds and Inches Away Castleton and let them get me started on a new path.
Hilton's Story
After I was significantly overweight. My doctor was concerned that my weight Before After would cause Before certain health problems as I aged. Pounds and Inches Away helped me lose 70 pounds over the course of six months! I found the program during the first 40 days to be easy and safe. I learned to eat much healthier and that was something my wife and I wanted to do for years. I followed the suggested meals, measuring the protein consistently. I had an apple as a snack in the afternoon or evening as well as learned to drink water. The maintenance period offered the opportunity to get reintroduced to some of the other foods that I liked, but in moderation. I have been able to maintain my weight since stopping with the drops. One highlight is that I have not had a Coke or Pepsi in over 19 months! Kathryn and her team are very supportive and helpful.
