March is “National Nutrition Month” and at DreamBody, we support the idea of having a vitamin enriched and

healthy body

. We offer a variety of customizable IV Vitamin and Mineral Therapy treatments. A deficiency of important

vitamins and minerals

can lead to

high blood pressure

, fatigue, depression and infections. We will customize a vitamin “cocktail” for you to receive while relaxing in one of our comfortable La-Z-Boy recliners.

In conjunction with these treatments, make sure you are eating right and taking our physician grade supplements to ensure that you are the healthiest version of YOU.

Easy nutrition tips:

  • Keep cut up veggies and fruits in the fridge as quick snacks.

  • Add vegetables to meals you normally eat to increase your vitamin intake; omelets, pizza, baked potatoes and even your morning smoothie.

  • Drink more water!

  • Choose whole grains over white breads and rice.

  • Eat a variety of protein; eggs, nuts, seafood, and beans along with lean meat and poultry.

  • Choose 100% fruit juice instead of sugary, fruit-flavored drinks.


Following these healthy tips will help you on your way to a nutritious body. Speed up the process by contacting DreamBody about our

Whether your

joint arthritis

came from skiing, running, playing too many sports when you were younger, or from simply getting older, it can be a real inconvenience.

Joint pain

can ruin your day, week or even your year. All of that cracking and popping is not only annoying, it is also painful!

Adult Stem Cell Prolotherapy

can help ease the pain that comes from the joint arthritis you experience day in and day out.

The doctors at DreamBody proudly practice some of the most modern technology out there,

Regenerative Injection Therapy

(RIT), also known as

Prolotherapy

.

Regenerative Injection Therapy

is a unique procedure that is used to reduce the pain caused from joint arthritis. Through this process, the doctor launches a controlled inflammation that stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms to lay down newer and stronger collagen fibers and cells into the body. This controlled inflammation is started by injecting natural substances directly into the damaged area in order to stimulate the natural healing process.

Most patients require anywhere from two to six Regenerative Injection Therapy treatments to reach their desired level of comfort and can expect to notice results and changes within two weeks of receiving treatment.

Joint arthritis is very common and can continue to get worse as time passes if it is not properly treated. RIT is a great option for those whose pain is holding them back from something – whether that be exercising regularly, playing ball with the kids, or even simple daily tasks such as walking up stairs.]]> http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/joint-arthritis-how-to-ease-the-pain/feed/ 0 Should I diet or do liposuction? http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/should-i-diet-or-do-liposuction/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=should-i-diet-or-do-liposuction http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/should-i-diet-or-do-liposuction/#comments Sun, 05 May 2013 00:24:07 +0000 admin http://www.dreambodycenters.com/wordpress/?p=218 How to decide between dieting and liposuction

During consultations, patients frequently ask, ‘Should I diet or do liposuction?’

Every patient will receive a different response from us because we are medical professionals, not sales people.

At DreamBody, we go over a complete history with every patient, understanding why they battle with a problem area or yo-yo dieting. Once the medical professionals at DreamBody have a good understanding of what a patient needs to get the desired results, we offer guidance to point them in the right direction.

At Dreambody Medical Centers, we educate patients daily about

HCG

, a very successful

weight loss program

. A patient can lose between one-half and one pound per day, as long as the program details are followed faithfully. Program details include a 500-calorie diet, daily HCG injections and weekly

B-12 injections

.

For the patients who have tried dieting and exercise, and can’t seem to get an area slimmer, we suggest

cold-laser liposuction

. Cold-laser

liposuction

is the only permanent solution to weight loss in a specific area of the body. Once the fat is removed, it never comes back to that area. We use a non-invasive laser to liquefy the fat. We then numb the area with tumescent fluid. Lastly, we suction out the fat and fat cells, leaving a permanent smooth result.

Our prices are very affordable compared to other liposuction clinics in the area. With advances in technology, the procedure has become safer, easier and much more affordable. Recovery is simple, and most patients go back to work in a few days.

We offer free consultations. Call our office to schedule an appointment with us, and DreamBody promises to help you decide if you should diet or do liposuction.

Believe it or not,

liposuction

has been performed on just about every part of the body you can imagine – but have you ever wondered what the three most popular and common areas to have treated with Cold Laser Liposuction are?

The doctors at DreamBody Medical Centers have noticed a rather obvious and common trend amongst patients and the areas they wish to have treated. The three

most popular areas to have treated with Cold Laser Liposuction

are the ever-so popular:

• front tummy area
• side “love-handles”
• thighs

While other areas on the body are also treated, these three are simply the most common.

So why are these three areas so popular? Have you ever heard someone refer to a part of their body as being a “problem area”? These three areas are just that –

problem areas

. Meaning, no matter how much a person works out and eats right, one, two or all three of these areas continue to stay the same.

All three of these problem areas are common on both men and women. For those of you who have multiple problem areas and can’t seem to decide on one area to have treated; no need to worry. Since Cold Laser Liposuction is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, it is not uncommon for patients to receive treatment on multiple areas at a time.

Sometimes, no matter how many crunches and lunges you do, those problem areas don’t change a bit. Fix that by letting Dr. Paul Budnick and the team at DreamBody Medical Centers work their magic. You’ll be back to work within a few days of receiving this treatment and will start to see results immediately! ]]> http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/top-3-most-popular-areas-to-have-treated-with-laser-liposuction/feed/ 0 Can I Gain Weight After Receiving Lipo? http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/can-i-gain-weight-after-receiving-lipo/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=can-i-gain-weight-after-receiving-lipo http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/can-i-gain-weight-after-receiving-lipo/#comments Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:25:47 +0000 admin http://www.dreambodycenters.com/?p=2590

The fear of

gaining weight

after receiving liposuction is a common one. While it is possible, the amount of weight that can be gained back after receiving

liposuction

is lower than the weight you had prior to the procedure because such a high percentage of fat cells in that area were permanently removed during the

cold laser liposuction

.

If a patient does gain weight after receiving liposuction, the weight is typically gained more proportionally and evenly distributed throughout the area or areas that were treated. During the

cold laser liposuction

procedure, fat cells are softened with a cold laser, allowing the fat cells to release trapped lipids. This makes the removal of fat much easier, and much more even throughout the body.

• Lipid: ˈlipid/ Any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.

The fat cells that are removed by the cool laser during liposuction are permanently removed. Once the fat cells are removed from your body, they can never grow back. This is not to say that you cannot gain weight after receiving the procedure, because as we said earlier, you can. However, those fat cells that were removed will not come back, and the weight (if gained back) will most likely be distributed more proportionally.

In short, when asked the question “Can I gain weight after receiving lipo?” the answer is yes. But, you can never gain back the exact fat cells that were removed during the liposuction. ]]> http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/can-i-gain-weight-after-receiving-lipo/feed/ 0 3 Reasons You Should Get B-12 Injections http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/3-reasons-you-should-get-b-12-injections/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=3-reasons-you-should-get-b-12-injections http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/3-reasons-you-should-get-b-12-injections/#comments Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:15:20 +0000 admin http://www.dreambodycenters.com/?p=2577

The name “B-12 Injections” may sound scary, but they are actually a

simple vitamin injection

that is performed right inside our office in Old Town Scottsdale. The injections provide a wide variety of

health benefits

which is why they have become so increasingly popular. While there are many reasons for you to receive

B-12 Injections

, we suggest receiving them in order to:

1. Promote a

Healthy Immune System

–

B-12 Injections

help to promote a healthy immune system in your body, working to fight against common colds and other sicknesses that our bodies are often susceptible to. These are a great option for those of us with little kids, who work in an office environment or are constantly catching the latest sickness.

2.

Increase Energy Levels

– Weekly

B-12 Injections

significantly increase energy levels allowing you to cut back on your coffee or soda intake. Don’t seem to have enough hours in the day to get everything done? You are not alone. Increasing your energy levels with the help of vitamin injections could be the answer to your problem.

3. Avoid

Vitamin B-12 Deficiency

–

Vitamin B-12 deficiency

can lead to a number of health related problems ranging from weakness and dizziness to rapid heartbeat and breathing. If a B-12 deficiency continues for a long period of time, nerve cells can be damaged which can result in even more severe health problems such as memory loss and difficulty in walking. Weekly B-12 Injections will rid your body of any vitamin B-12 deficiencies.

Depending on whether you want to promote a

healthy immune system

, increase your

energy levels

, avoid a

vitamin B-12

deficiency, or all three, B-12 injections are your solution. They are quick, easy and performed right in our office! ]]> http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/3-reasons-you-should-get-b-12-injections/feed/ 0 The History Behind Acupuncture – Find Your “qi” http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/the-history-behind-acupuncture-%e2%80%93-find-your-%e2%80%9cqi%e2%80%9d/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-history-behind-acupuncture-%25e2%2580%2593-find-your-%25e2%2580%259cqi%25e2%2580%259d http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/the-history-behind-acupuncture-%e2%80%93-find-your-%e2%80%9cqi%e2%80%9d/#comments Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:23:53 +0000 admin http://www.dreambodycenters.com/?p=2561

Ever wonder where

Acupuncture

first came from and why it works so well? Contrary to common belief, acupuncture is not just a trendy new form of

alternative medicine

.

Acupuncture

is actually an ancient form of healing that originated in Ancient China over 2,500 years ago. The

Chinese philosophy behind acupuncture

is that there is an energy that flows through human bodies called “qi” (chi). The flow can be disrupted by

toxins in the body

and these toxins can be released by inserting sharpened objects into the proper acupuncture points, thus allowing a person’s qi to flow evenly.

A person’s qi is made up of 5 components or phases; wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each phase correlates with different aspects of the body and character.

Wood – People with a balanced wood energy have clear goals and visions. An imbalance is expressed by indecisiveness and a lack of life direction.
Fire – People with balanced fire energy are charismatic, people lovers. An imbalance might make a person seem boring and bland. They might also suffer from anxiety.
Earth – People with balanced earth energy are compassionate and considerate. An imbalance would lead to constant worrying or absentmindedness.
Metal – People with balanced metal energy are organized and structured. An imbalance would be shown by depression or constant sadness.
Water – People with balanced water energy are determined. An imbalance would show anxiety and withdrawnness.

In modern times,

acupuncture

has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, relieve pain and increase energy. Whether you want to improve one phase of your qi or experience the scientifically proven benefits of acupuncture, call DreamBody Medical Centers today. ]]> http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/the-history-behind-acupuncture-%e2%80%93-find-your-%e2%80%9cqi%e2%80%9d/feed/ 0 Broiled Salmon with Lemon and Olive Oil http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/broiled-salmon-with-lemon-and-olive-oil/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=broiled-salmon-with-lemon-and-olive-oil http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/broiled-salmon-with-lemon-and-olive-oil/#comments Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:05:26 +0000 admin http://www.dreambodycenters.com/?p=2504

Ever wonder why so many people take

nutritional supplements

? Among many, the most common reason why people take nutritional supplements is because they simply do not get as many

nutrients

from the food they eat nowadays as they once used to.

Back when people used to live off of the food they grew and hunted, supplements did not exist because getting the right amount of nutrients was never an issue. However, as surprising as this may sound, due to the highly-processed foods we are eating, along with the genetic modification going on in a wide array of foods, we are not taking in nearly enough nutrients as our bodies need to live a healthy life. Because every person is different and lives a different lifestyle, there are many supplement plans you can start that will best meet YOUR needs.

Supplements have become increasingly popular due to the fact that the food we are eating is not supplying our bodies with the nutrients they need. The popularity of supplements is increasing just as more and more people learn this unsettling fact. Thankfully, there are plenty of supplement options out there to help with just about any nutrient deficiency you may have.

DreamBody Medical Centers offers an array of supplements that can alleviate a variety of symptoms, boost energy and work to improve your overall health. Dr. Paul Budnick, along with the other doctors and nurses at DreamBody can assess and determine the nutritional supplements that would best benefit you based on your individual lifestyle. ]]> http://www.dreambodycenters.com/blog/why-should-i-take-supplements/feed/ 0
