Our Mission: To provide personalized holistic options for health.
Goal: Educate individuals about self-health awareness

S.E.L.F. = Supplements, Exercise, Lifestyle changes, and Food

1. Supplements: All supplements sold in our facility have been scrutinized for quality, purity, independent standardization testing and supported by valid clinical studies. If indicated, supplements will be recommended according to survey data and interview evaluation. We will provide literature to support the necessity of the supplement recommendations. Whenever possible, your current supplements will be incorporated into your custom-designed program. It is important for you to identify all supplements and medications you are currently taking prior to beginning your new program. Our natural supplements may take up to three (3) months for the effects to fully manifest. It is rare that adverse effects occur, but it is important to report any unusual effects. Remember, you will be in a process of detoxifying and rebuilding. The beginning of this process may cause you to feel worse before feeling better. Again, feel free to contact us with any of your concerns.

2. Exercise: An exercise program is a key component in this program. Ideally, your exercise program should be suited to you so that you will continue to exercise regularly. If you are not exercising presently, start slowly and increase as your body becomes more fit. Walking daily is an excellent beginning exercise. You should consider exercising briskly three times weekly for 20-30 minutes and active movement — stretching exercises — three additional times a week.

3. Lifestyle Change: This portion of the program is often the most difficult. Begin by reassessing your daily life. Identify stressful situations. Get enough sleep (8-10 hours daily). Release the negative energy with deep breathing techniques, meditation, yoga, prayer, massage therapy or whatever helps you with stress. Seek professional counsel for relationship, career, or family matters. We highly recommend Bach Flower Practitioner Charlene Briggs, BFRP/Associate, Lionville Natural Pharmacy (610-594-9591).

4. Food: Whenever possible eat certified organic food. It is important to eliminate processed and refined foods, like white flour, sugar, and transfatty acids i.e. hydrogenated oils. Additional problem areas include excess alcohol, insufficient protein, low fat-high carbohydrate meals, soy excess, caffeine, artificial flavors, preservatives, colorings and sweeteners. Drink 8-10 glasses of pure water daily. An individualized nutritional-dietary program will be recommended according to your condition and goals.
