Five Star Wellness Program
Dr. Bouma’s, Five Star Wellness, plan places emphasis on giving you the ability to make the right choices by way of evidence based research. This program is not designed to treat one specific disease process, but it is designed for your body to create wellness (homeostasis) as a whole.
Our genes have not changed in the 10,000 years. But our civilization, foods, energy expenditures, and lifestyle choices have. The changes in our lifestyles has created an epidemic of disease that is out of control. Your body is intelligent and has the ability to heal itself; provided that you create and provide the congruent environment for your genes to express health through normal physiology.
Dietary - Paleo Plan:
Omit all grains out of your diet. They are the most inflammatory, highest in calories and lowest in nutrients. They are also a major leading cause of Insulin Resistance, which causes further disease progression. Eat a 65% (Vegetables & Fruits) to 35% (protein) diet. Eat when you are hungry and until you are satisfied. Eat from these categories.
Chiropractic Care:The philosophy of Chiropractic is a lifestyle. Remove any interference from the body so that it may express its innate potential and heal itself. Now science is here to back up what Chiropractic has been proclaiming for over 117 years. The restoration of movement to dysfunctional joints prevents degeneration, improves nerve function, improves healing, stimulates the organs to express health, reduces stress and muscle spasm. The cerebellum runs the brain and the spine runs the cerebellum. Chiropractic is safe, effective, for all ages, and we are not putting anything into your body, we are only making it stronger, naturally. This is not pain based care.
Exercise:Movement is a genetic necessity for our body. There is a minimum effective dose (MED) that you can perform if you are short on time. It improves muscle tone, improves strength, increases bone density, reduces heart disease, improves cholesterol levels, reduces diabetes, reduces stress, increases your libido, improves your skin. GET MOVING! Especially, if you have become sedentary, sit behind a desk, stand all day, or are getting older.

Omega 3: Reduces inflammation, decreases cholesterol, improves cell membrane permeability, promotes weight loss, helps to develop new nerve synapses.
Vit. D3: Improves bone growth, Immune System support, anti-cancer agent.
