WHAT ARE THE SEVEN PILLARS?
Endocrine/Hormonal - the most powerful system that activates the rest of the body and is very much affected by stress. We look at neurotransmitters, estrogen dominance, your brain (hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal axis).
Glycemic Management - how your body handles protein, carbohydrates, sugars and insulin.
pH Bioterrain and Minerals - body acidity.
Inflammatory Status and Immune System - inflammation is the "wild animal trying to eat you" (the fight or flight response) including autoimmune problems adrenal balance or even food allergies. Immune burdens include bacterial, viral or parasite infestations, as well as toxicity from heavy metals and other toxins.
Circulatory - blood quality and circulation, muscles, vascular integrity, tissue nutrition and infection.
Digestive - general state of being, dysbiosis (gut flora out of balance) and leaky gut (where the lining of the intestine is damaged and allows leakage of larger particles like undigested food and other things to flow freely into your bloodstream that your body will react to causing other problems.)
Cellular Vitality - general cell protection, membrane and enzyme support.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
The client first completes a Review of Systems (a checklist of symptoms and major complaints), which Carole uses with dowsing work and a Nutritional Chart to help sort out food choices, supplements and which pillars to address and what supplements are recommended. The questionnaire also asks for symptoms, prescription meds, and client concerns.
During a phone session, Carole and the client will go over findings and discuss a plan. The client follows a 1 or 3 month protocol (client's choice) using Standard Process whole food supplements or a brand of their own choice.
Follow-up sessions are done on a monthly or quarterly basis. During this visit, we obtain a new Review of Systems, check for changes and then retest what supplements and/or dosages are currently needed.
The two page Review of Systems can be downloaded here: sp-sx-survey.
Because these supplements are food grade, they can be stopped and started as desired. Protocols for specific issues can be added in for just a month or two when needed, then stopped, depending on symptoms and the System Survey results. This is not a 'diet' although dietary changes may be recommended.
WHY USE STANDARD PROCESS WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS?
Standard Process was established in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee, who believed that foods in a natural state retained their potency and efficacy and were more bioactively enhanced than isolated nutrients. Because the Standard Process products - available through healthcare practitioners like chiropractors, acupuncturists and some medical doctors - are whole foods (in pill or capsule form), 7 Pillar Healing works more slowly than drugs and nutraceuticals (supplements made from a recipe using varying amounts of pure ingredients).
Feel free to check out the Standard Process website or their Amazon store, or call and talk to Carole about these products. And if you are interested in working with 7 Pillars Healing or just learning more, call Carole at 505.353.2057 or use the contact form on this website.
