Please say “I found it in Indy Metro Woman Magazine!” Thanks! 3

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 exercise, muscle loss or hunger.

But all HCG is not created equal. The SuperVision Weight Loss 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, it's not HCG.

HCG does not 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. SuperVision Weight Loss 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.

Cindy's StoryFor years, I've had trouble losing the excess weight that I put on. I've tried several plans and fad diets, only to put the weight back on. I came to Super Vision Weight Loss when my doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic. I found the program easy to follow. i was glad to have the support of the staff through the entire transition. I am so happy with my results and my new lease on life.

Gary's Story My doctor was on my case about my blood pressure, and I know that the extra weight I was carrying wasn’t helping that situation. My knees hurt and I just wanted to feel better. I gave Super Vision Weight Loss a chance to help me get the weight off. They were really great!! I lost 38 lbs. in 31 days! My girlfriend is thrilled. I travel for a living and I was able to stay true to the diet protocol even on the road. I’m so glad I did this diet with Super Vision Weight Loss. I feel YEARS younger and I know I’ll never have that belly again.

To get slim and stay that way, call our office at (317) 849-THIN today. We will help you reach your weight loss goals and improve your health, appearance and self-image.

Nothing tastes as good as THIN feels…

In order to ascertain certain information an attorney will serve discovery on an opposing party, requesting that party to respond to questions and/or provide documents. These pre-trial devices are utilized by attorneys to obtain facts and information about the case from another party in order to assist the attorney’s preparation for trial. However, not everything that an attorney asks questions about or requests documents for may be admissible in a court. For example, an inadmissible matter may occur in a custody matter when an attorney wants to ascertain who may testify at the hearing and what that potential witness will state. In responding to the discovery, a party may provide information stating that the babysitter has information about statements the child has made to the babysitter. This information, due to the hearsay rule, is discoverable but may be inadmissible at a hearing.If your attorney requests that you respond to Interrogatory questions that have been served on you, you should provide your attorney all information requested. Your attorney will then finalize your responses to the discovery. Questions

are often asked to determine information about the party’s employment, and why a custody battle may be looming.If you are asked to provide documents in response to a Request for Production of Documents, you should provide to your attorney all documents that you think are responsive to this request. Once again, it will be up to your attorney’s discretion whether to provide the documentation. Typically a family law attorney will request the following: bank statements, real estate and personal property appraisals, tax returns, paystubs, credit card statements, financial declarations and any other information relevant to your case are often the most requested documentation. You have picked your attorney because of their knowledge of the law. Knowing what to produce for a Request for Production of Documents or how to respond to an Interrogatory is part of your attorney’s legal knowledge and experience. Providing all information in your possession to your attorney can help save your attorney’s time and thus your money.

DISCOVERY – What is my attorney talking about when they use the word discovery?



Early detection saves lives. With one in eight women developing breast cancer during her lifetime, earlier detection means a better prognosis.

Luckily for women, early detection has improved in recent years with new and improved breast cancer screening exams. One of the most remarkable advances we’ve seen is the arrival of a new digital technology, breast tomosynthesis, also known as 3D mammography.

3D mammography is a more accurate mammogram that provides remarkably clear images of a patient’s breast tissue. This means fewer false alarms and improved detection of early breast cancers resulting in improved patient outcomes. Given the benefits, we think it’s incredibly important that private insurance companies cover this important exam so all women can benefit.

Jack Moss is a radiologist at Indianapolis-based Northwest Radiology. “From a medical perspective, this technology is completely changing the way we diagnose and treat breast cancer. As a diagnostic radiologist specializing in mammography, 3D mammography has proven to be one of the most promising tools in our breast cancer detection arsenal. Large-scale studies have demonstrated its benefit, and we have witnessed the power of 3D first hand by identifying breast cancers that would have been missed on conventional imaging."

Since FDA approval of the technology in 2011, multiple studies have shown that 3D mammograms provide greater accuracy than 2D mammograms alone. Doctors can now look at a patient’s breast tissue layer-by-layer, which is especially helpful for women with

dense breasts. With this technology, fewer women are recalled due to inconclusive images, saving them the inconvenience, cost and anxiety of needless follow up visits. It also helps find cancers that might be obscured by or look like normal tissue. In fact, 3D mammography has shown a 41 percent increase in the invasive cancer detection rate when compared to conventional mammograms.

Carrie, an Indianapolis resident, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. “From a patient perspective, this technology is completely changing the patient experience. Last year, I was diagnosed with stage 3A breast cancer after receiving “normal” 2D mammograms. Since 2011, I received a mammogram as frequently as every six months. Every time I was called back for a second look, every time I waited with anxiety, and every time I was sent away with a normal report. I had dense breast tissue and my tumor was missed. I had a false sense of security. I wish I had access to 3D mammography.”

This technology is a game-changer for women. While Medicare has decided to cover this exam, some private insurance companies, like Indianapolis-based Anthem, are not covering these new mammograms, limiting women’s access to them. Women deserve better than this.

3D mammography also leads to significant cost savings for insurance companies due to the reduced callbacks and additional testing; a recent study showed a large health plan could save more than two million dollars per year! 3D mammography saves money while improving care for women, so what are insurance companies waiting for?

3D mammography is a victory for women, but women need access to this better exam. Please take a few moments and make your voice heard. Go to www.covermy3d.com and click on your insurance carrier to make a direct impact. After all, this improved exam can only detect more cancers if women have access to it.

3D Mammograms are More Accurate – So Why Don’t all Women Have Access?

Janet Langhart Cohen Janet Langhart Cohen

The Indiana Repertory Theatre “Anne & Emmett”

The Indiana Repertory Theatre will play host to a limited engagement of Janet Langhart Cohen’s play, “Anne & Emmet;” the story brings together the present, an imagined past, and a hometown renaissance woman to help bring about racial reconciliation.

Indiana Broadcaster Hall of Fame 2012 inductee, graduate of Crispus Attucks High School and civil rights activist, Janet Langhart Cohen, brings “Anne & Emmett” to town from Friday, September 4 through Sunday, September 6. The one-act play is an imagined conversation between the 15-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank, who died in a Nazi death camp, and the 14-year-old African-American boy, Emmett Till, who was beaten and murdered in 1955 in Money, Mississippi, for the alleged crime of whistling at a white woman.

Cohen, who as wife of former Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen was known as the “First Lady of the Pentagon” for her active role in supporting the military and their families, explained that though the story of Anne Frank is well known, that Till’s story isn’t as well known is problematic. “‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ is required reading for children in schools. And she was about the same age as Emmett when they were both killed. So students reading Frank’s diary would relate just as well to the story of a young boy who was also forced to live in a segregated ghetto. Both Anne and Emmett would have had to step off the sidewalk if a German or a white southerner walked by. These children both would have understood living under surveillance- that they were never free to just exist in their worlds.”

Cohen says it’s so important that people understand and learn from these stories, and not be inclined to dismiss the experiences of those they see as different from themselves. “So often we’re told to never forget. We honor the memories of people when we remember them. But just as often African-Americans are told that we should get over it, and let the past be past.” Cohen explained that education needs to play a larger

role in insuring that the experiences of all people are understood. “I had to learn European and European-American history. Maybe if everyone had to learn my history… that would make these comments irrelevant!”

Cohen has long been involved in helping to dissect such sensitive issues and feelings around race in the United States. As co-founder of the non-profit organization Race and Reconciliation in America (RARIA), she’s active in addressing issues that have historic roots that bear the modern fruits of disparities. Bringing into focus historic matters that continue to affect Americans such as housing and healthcare, her organization serves the mission of helping all Americans to better relate to one another.

She points out she believes it’s a step forward for American race relations is the newest museum on the National Mall. “It’s sad to me,” says Cohen, “That the people who were stolen and forced to build this city are the last ones to have a museum. The Holocaust museum is there- and it should be- but that’s a human tragedy. All Americans need to see African-American museum that goes beyond slavery and music and sports!”

RARIA will host an event in September 19th to honor Lonnie Bunch, the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.

“Lonnie is a fine educator,” says Cohen. “We have the same mission.”

After the limited-run performances of “Anne & Emmett” at the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the play will head to Chicago’s DuSable Museum for three days, September 25 - 27, 2015. Tickets for Indianapolis and Chicago are still available.

On Saturday September 19, the Indiana Parkinson Foundation will be holding the 3rd Annual Choose to Move race starting at 9am located at Saxony Park in Fishers. This event gives members of the Parkinson’s community, friends and family a chance to come together to raise awareness and funds

to help beat Parkinson’s. All proceeds will go to benefit the Indiana Parkinson Foundation which will provide the Parkinson’s community assistance in wellness, fitness, and support through various programs, including The CLIMB.

Launched in 2011 in Noblesville, IN, the CLIMB is a place for exercise, reflection and connection to renew people with Parkinson’s disease from the work and pressures of their daily lives. The CLIMB helps the Parkinson’s community by providing specialized programs of exercise and physical therapy, yoga, massage, speech therapy, motivational and spiritual support.

Stories of TransformationSome of the most mundane activities a person does in their daily routine can become challenging and even a hindrance in the lives of people living with the disease.

Tom Erickson was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about a year ago, and has been coming to The CLIMB the past several months. Since attending the program, Tom has greatly increased his mobility. “I can now climb my stairs at home and get in and out of my car with

ease,” says Tom. “I can take walks, even lengthy ones now with my wife, without problems.” Tom also adds that the program has helped him in so many other ways. “Cognitively, he says, “I can think clearer, and overall my health has improved.”

Bob Turner has had a similar experience attending The CLIMB Program as well. Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s eight years ago and has slowly seen the symptoms worsen as time has progressed. His Neurologist suggested he try The CLIMB and he’s been attending ever since. “At one point,” explains Turner, “I was unable to tie my shoes, feed myself, and get dressed. It was also very difficult getting in and out of the car. I had a terrible time.” Within six months at The CLIMB, Bob is now able to walk on his own, and also has his driving privileges back. “I feel great and really enjoy it”, explains Tom. Because of the wonderful program and instructors at The CLIMB, Bob definitely sees the place becoming a permanent fixture in his life.

Carol Juergensen Sheets

Carol Juergensen Sheets LCSW PCC is a psychotherapist and personal life coach. She does motivational speaking and empowerment trainings locally and nationally. To find out more about her services--contact

her at www.carolthecoach.com or call her at 317 218-3479. You can watch Carol the Coach segments on WTHR’s Channel 13 Wednesdays @ 12:50PM.

There are three coaching principles that teach empowerment. The first principle is that you are 100% responsible for your behavior. This gives you the power to achieve anything!

The second principle comes from an Eleanor Roosevelt quote, “Don't allow anyone to make you feel inferior without your consent.” I turned this around slightly and made it a “Carol the Coachism” which is “Don't give anyone the power to make you feel ______.” You get to choose how others affect you!

Reframing is the third coaching principal which has you look at negative circumstances and decide how it has made you stronger. You have to look at the difficult situation from the perspective that there is always some good that comes out of the painful.

Most humans have had experiences that have deeply troubled and pained them. Has this happened to you? Do you believe that you could apply these principles to your issues or situations in your past that has caused you great pain?

Were you able to honor that pain? Did you write about it? Did you find a supportive person to talk to and help you to process the pain? Did you allow that pain to move you forward in your life? It is so important to acknowledge your feelings and honor them so that you can move forward from them. When people don't move forward they feel resentment and resentment is toxic and it keeps you stuck emotionally. If you can't get passed what someone has done to you, then you give them too much power. It is our responsibility to learn from it, grow from it, and turn it into something that is positive.

So my question to you would be how have you used your pain to grow stronger? Often people come into therapy to talk about their feelings and to shed the scars that have occurred. However, if you think about a scar, it is really the body creating a tougher skin to protect the original wound. An emotional scar has been created to

keep that vulnerable place from being hurt again. Reframing has you look at pain as a teacher.

Your homework:

Think about a significant pain in your life. Write out how somebody hurt you and created angst in your life.

Acknowledge the feelings.

In other words, how did you honor the pain, anger, sadness, or disappointment you felt in your life?

How did you grow from the pain? How did it make you stronger? What did you learn from it?

List all the ways that you have been able to self-actualize because of the original pain.

Now do something with your new found empowerment! Challenge yourself to identify what you have done to make the world a better place because of it. Perhaps you now are Stephen's Minister at church or you are the neighborhood mom whom all the kids come to because you're so easy to talk to. Maybe it has driven you to become a CEO of a company because you became a leader and promoted compassionate leadership.

You own your destiny!

If you assess your life and believe that you have not used it to its fullest capacity than I challenge you to look at ways to use your pain to better the future.

When you do this … you right the wrongs of your past and make the world a better place! Your past has taught you great strength. Now it is up to you to use it to the best of your ability!

Take 100% Responsibility







“Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving toward something.” ~ Ralph Marston

Do you ever notice how easy it is to mistake the negative thoughts, energies and beliefs of those around you as your own? And how easy it is to allow these toxic and unhealthy energies to come into your life, influencing the way you think, the way you feel and the way you perceive yourself and the world around you?When you are in a negative, toxic and unhealthy environment, a place where people are sad, anxious, dwelling in fear and constantly complaining about everything and everyone, you tend to feel a heavy energy pressing down on you, making you feel uncomfortable and very unhappy. But if you change the environment, to a place of peace, positivity, chances are that you will start to feel full of life and energy. Why? Because energy is contagious, and we tend to adapt our own energy to the energy of the things, places, people and experiences that we encounter.I consider myself a very happy, cheerful and positive person. Someone who is very aware of the thoughts she thinks and the beliefs she holds. And even though I am purifying and taking good care of my mind, heart, body and soul, I still have moments when I dwell in fear, and I still have moments when I think toxic thoughts, thoughts that I know for sure that are not mine. I still have moments when all kind of insecurities, scarcity thoughts and doubts take over me. But when I step back from my own mind, taking a closer look at everything that I am going through – all my moods, thoughts,

energies and behaviors, I realize that many of the thoughts I am thinking and many of the feelings I am feeling are not even mine. When you are not fully present in your day to day life, and when you allow your mind to wonder from place to place, spending too much time dwelling on thoughts about the past and future, but not enough time being in the present moment, that’s when you become an easy prey to negativity.It’s true that there’s a lot of negativity, fear, doubt, insecurity present in this world – in our homes, in our schools, the places we work, in our relationships, in our communities, and at times, in ourselves. But it’s also true that if we become fully present, if we make a conscious decision not to allow this negativity to contaminate us and our lives, all this negativity will no longer have any power over us.If there’s negativity in the world around you and you come face to face with it, don’t be scared. Don’t worry. Don’t panic. Don’t complain, and don’t shrink because of it. Instead, take a few steps back and remind yourself that you, not events, people, places or things, have the power to make you happy or unhappy today. That you, not the negative energy that is present in the world around, have control over your own thoughts, feelings and emotions. Always remember, you are way bigger than all your fears, all your doubts, all your problems, all your insecurities, and you are way bigger than all the negativity that is present all around you, so just behave accordingly.

How to Be Positive in a Negative World by Shelly Aristizabal






What are stem cells?Stem cells are unspecialized cells that maintain and repair tissues. Stem cells are unique in that they have the potential to develop into many different types of cells. In regeneration, stem cells may seek out areas that need repair or restoration. Our body’s natural healing process is fairly efficient, but modern science can accelerate the process.

Where do stem cells come from? There are primarily two types of stem cells used for treatments: embryonic and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos. Adult stem cells can be derived from a patient’s own body. Adult stem cells exist throughout the body, however the most abundant (and accessible) source is abdominal fat.

What is Stem Cell Therapy? Stem cell therapy is the process of isolating adult stem cells from abdominal fat and reintroducing them into the body where they can do the most good. The process begins with extracting a few ounces of fat from the patient in a “mini” liposuction procedure. Once the fat is removed, the stem cells are isolated utilizing the state-of-the-art Healeon Medical CENTRIcyte 1000 Centrifuge. Once isolated, the stem cells are then re-introduced to the body by IV and/or by injection for more localized treatments. Local treatments can help with knee, shoulder and other joint pain. Stem cells can also be applied to the face, neck and scalp using a micro-needle system to give you a more healthy and youthful look. The treatments are outpatient procedures conducted in a sterile environment in your doctor’s office utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. Under sedation and local anesthesia, the process is relatively painless and safe with minimal downtime.

What kind of ailments can stem cell therapy help? Stem cell therapy may improve a variety of conditions. Our patients have shown significant improvement in:
