New! Dr. Dan's Morning Walk In Clinic
Monday - Friday from 8:30 - 9:30 am
Starting November 28th
Fall and winter signal the beginning of cold and flu season. Nasal congestion, runny nose, scratchy throat, cough and fever as well as ear infections that don't resolve on their own in a few days often signal something more serious that should be looked
at by a doctor.
Most often, antibiotics are not the answer and can lead to a range of issues that can result in diminished health but there are many nutritional, herbal and homeopathic remedies that are very effective at dealing with symptoms of upper respiratory and other illnesses.
If you or a family member come down with an upper respiratory infection or similar illness and need to see a doctor right away we want to make life easier for you. Stop by our Morning Walk In Clinic and we'll have you feeling better in no time!
Clinic Guidelines
- Come by our office between 8:30 and 9:15 Monday through Friday to see Dr. Dan. No appointment required.
- To provide you with the best medical care possible, we need to be familiar with your medical history and current health status prior to your visit. Accordingly, our clinic is geared toward existing patients of Dr. Dan's. If you are not currently a patient of Dr. Dan's, all the more reason to be one!
- For children who are not currently patients of Dr. Dan's, at least one parent must be an existing patient.
- Since vomiting can signal serious medical issues, we do not treat patients with this symptom and strongly recommend they visit the Emergency Room as soon as possible.
- Cost of the clinic is $25.
Dynamic Weight Loss - 12 Week Program
Why Lose Weight?
No doubt you already know the answer to that question. In addition to looking terrific, losing even a small amount of excess weight can have a significant impact on your overall health. For example, losing weight can help you:
- Lower your cholesterol levels
- Reduce your blood pressure
- Decrease your risk of sudden death
- Prevent or reverse Type 2 diabetes
- Improve blood sugar levels
- Reduce aches and pains
- Increase your energy and flexibility
- Sleep better and wake more rested
If you’re like most of us, you’ve spent the better part of the last several years, maybe longer, struggling to get to your ideal weight. You are not alone. In this country, 2 out of 3 people are overweight – a statistic that is climbing with each passing year.
So, what are we doing wrong?
The answer is literally right in front of us. We are simply eating the wrong foods – over and over again, year after year.
To varying degrees, we have all been consuming the Modern American Diet - the diet that leads to modern American diseases like heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Over 90% of our grocery store shelves are lined with sugary, processed, chemically laden, packaged food.

So What is the Solution?
At Dr. Dan’s, we promote a traditional diet that consists of whole, nutrient dense food grown, prepared and eaten the way Mother Nature intended, a stark contrast to the modern diet mentioned above.
Our patients report significantly improved health when they transition from a modern diet to a traditional diet and stay with it on an ongoing basis.
Unfortunately, a traditional diet will not produce rapid weight loss results in the near term for those needing to shed a lot of excess weight. Numerous studies show that the sooner one’s weight begins to drop, the sooner their risk factors for disease drop accordingly.
To address this, we have developed a program to help our patients see and feel the benefits of weight loss faster than ever before – the Dynamic Weight Loss Program.
This program is intended to “reset” your metabolism over 12 weeks while helping you to safely lose at least 20 lbs. to jump start your weight loss. If you have more than 20 lbs. to lose, you can repeat the program as often as needed.
Once our patients shed their excess weight we encourage them to transition to a traditional diet to maintain their weight and safeguard their health.

Dr. Dan’s Dynamic Weight Loss Program
The Dynamic Weight Loss Program was designed to help you lose at least 20 lbs. in 12 weeks and to significantly improve your cardiac profile resulting in:
- Lower Blood Pressure
- Lower Cholesterol
- Increased HDL
- Lower LDL
- Lower Triglycerides
All new patients begin the program with a complete Nutrition Response Testing Health Evaluation to determine if any underlying hormonal imbalances exist (thyroid, insulin, etc.) that could impede your weight loss success.
If imbalances are detected, Dr. Dan will suggest ways to remedy the hormonal imbalance to ensure your best possible scenario for weight loss success.
At your second appointment, our Nutrition Counselor will review your meal plan options, introduce you to our Healthy Steps Exercise Program and take some basic measurements. She will also answer any questions you may have about the program.
You will be asked to keep a food journal to help you stay on track and to help us suggest ways you can accelerate your progress. You’ll then be off and running!
The program includes brief weekly visits with our Nutrition Counselor to track your progress, answer any questions that have come up during the previous week and help you stay motivated toward reaching your goal weight.
Prior to beginning your program, we recommend you request Cholesterol Panel Testing from your Primary Care Physician, including a Plaque Test, CRP-HS and A1C test. This will determine your starting cardiac profile. You will repeat this testing at the conclusion of your program to determine your progress.

It All Starts With Nutrition
Everyone knows that the foundation of great health is great nutrition. We all try to do our best to eat well on a daily basis, but it isn’t always an easy thing to accomplish.
What you put in your body impacts everything about you. It determines how you feel every day, your frame of mind, energy level, how well you ward off illness and even your outlook on life.
With so much at stake and so much information out there - often confusing and conflicting - it’s hard to know which way to turn to get it right. And getting it right is crucial because your health and well being depend on it.
That’s exactly why we created a variety of Nutrition Programs at Dr. Dan’s to guide you through the nutrition maze, help you separate fact from fiction and put you on the right track toward exceptional health and wellness.
All our programs are designed to complement our Nutrition Response Therapy and Acupuncture Programs and are based on the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, a health researcher who brought to light the extraordinary health benefits of traditional vs. modern food diets.
You’ll learn the fundamentals of healthy nutrition in a lively, fun and interesting manner. From your very first session, you will be able to make real improvements in your nutrition and be on your way to exceptional health.
