BALANCE ON FOX NEWS!

Tomorrow, Wednesday October 29th at 8:15am, BALANCE will be discussed on Fox Morning News. Please tune in or watch for a link to be posted on our blog tomorrow!

Meet Dr. Ashry- "Creator of BALANCE"

Dr. Chalid Ashry is the man who developed the BALANCE program for diabetics. His goal is help you lose an average of 2.2 lbs per month, arrest or reverse the disease, and reduce or eliminate medication. To achieve these results, participants will meet with Dr. Chalid Ashry for an in-take session. This in-take session will give him a base line for monitoring your progress and the end results.

In October, he launched a pilot in Germany with BARMER, the biggest health insurance company in Europe, and is now taking this program to the United States for the first time. Dr. Ashry looks forward to seeing you November 1st, for the orientation.

Meet Our Publicist

Kimberly Hartke's husband Keith was pre-diabetic five years ago. He also had high blood pressure. Determined to get off his medication, Keith asked Kimberly to help him lose weight.
She research possible diets, and chose the South Beach Diet by heart doctor, Dr. Arthur Agatston. Within 3 months, Keith was slimming down, and began to work out with a personal trainer. By 6 months, both Keith and Kimberly had lost weight, Keith 30 lbs and Kimberly 20.

They are both committed to daily exercise and a healthy diet, which is how Kimberly came to be involved in the BALANCE USA program. She will be in charge of publicity for BALANCE USA.

Meet Our Nutritionist

I'm Alana, the nutritionist for the BALANCE project. I am really excited to be part of a great program specifically designed to help people with Type 2 diabetes to get better.

I am here to help in any way that I can. It is especially wonderful to see that people have the opportunity to rely more on lifestyle changes than on drugs.

And of course, experience shows me that food plays a very important role. I believe that human beings need to eat Whole and Real food, just like our ancestors before us.

Our human bodies are designed to run on food that can easily be recognized at a cellular level. I hope to teach about wonderful, delicious food that is real and whole, and life-supporting.

I have great ideas and lots of alternatives to packaged and processed foods, and I am happy to be available to you all.

BALANCE for an "Unlikely" Diabetic

Two years ago, June was taken to the hospital even though she felt fine. During her physical exam, her blood sugar was measured at a shocking 597. June is now learning how to live and live well - with diabetes, type 2.

Her family has no history of diabetes, also her blood pressure and cholesterol have always been normal. This really sounds like a person who should not have diabetes.

Accepting diabetes, June took action. "What's next? I read a lot. I sought experts to help sort through the confusing information," says June. Her first nutritionist began every sentence with “You can’t…” so she found another. Alana Sugar, nutriontist, helped her to put it all together. Alana Sugar introduced June to Dr. Chalid Ashry and the BALANCE USA program.

"THIS I believe in because it makes sense. The program balances personal actions with medical treatment and the ultimate goal is reducing medications. BALANCE puts me in control of my destiny and I need that!" - June

Today, June limits her carbohydrates. Two days every week, she does weight training, and walks with her new best friend (her pedometer) at least three days. June is currently working on the total body weight but has not had an insulin injection for more than a year and all her numbers are good now.

Success is rarely achieved alone. June wants to thank...
her supportive husband, family & friends, her work as a CPA to exercise the mind, Miss Lucie, her adored pet parrot, & the Incredible health professionals, who really care.
