This program is dedicated to helping participants lose weight and successfully maintain their weight loss through nutritional counseling and lifestyle changes. According to chiropractor Dr. Andrew L.

Glen Carbon chiropractor Dr. Andrew L. Morningstar announced that his practice, Morningstar Spinal Correction Center, offers the Healthwise weight loss program and has success with patients on the program. This program is part of the practice's commitment to whole body health through weight loss and healthy living.
"We take a proactive approach to whole body health," said Dr. Morningstar. "Helping our patients lose weight and maintain this weight loss is important to optimizing their overall health. We are excited to offer the Healthwise weight loss program to accelerate our patient's journey to better health."
The Healthwise weight loss program combines nutritional and lifestyle counseling to help patients recognize unhealthy habits and correct this behavior. Dr. Morningstar emphasized that the program is not a "fad diet" but a roadmap to a better, healthier future.
"When we feed our body the right balance of nutrients and supplements, our body can truly thrive," said Dr. Morningstar. "This helps our organs to operate efficiently, improving our overall well being while reducing the risk for low-grade illnesses and fatigue. A healthy weight ensures that patients can enjoy an active lifestyle, without excess weight that can strain the musculoskeletal system and crowd internal organs."
The Healthwise program includes meal plans, protein supplements, entrees and beverages. A wide range of Healthwise products are available, including items suitable for different dietary needs, such as gluten-free and lactose-free meals.
According to Dr. Morningstar, these high-quality, nutritious meals are designed to help patients kick-start their weight loss. The practice also offers the Healthwise starter pack to help patients begin the transition to a healthier lifestyle. With Dr. Morningstar's nutritional counseling, patients learn to modify their diets to support long-term weight loss.
In addition to the Healthwise weight loss program, the practice also provides comprehensive wellness services and chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Morningstar says that these adjustments can help restore alignment to the musculoskeletal system, strengthening the spine, improving posture, and reducing headache and back pain.
Dr. Morningstar has been helping patients naturally manage pain and optimize overall health since 1998. He follows a "whole body" approach to pain management, injury treatment and weight loss, addressing both the symptoms and underlying cause for health problems. He is committed to enhancing his patients' overall well being through chiropractic adjustments, hands-on physiotherapy, and rehabilitation programs. Morningstar Spinal Correction Center has three wellness center locations in Glen Carbon, Manchester and Cahokia.
