 All About Consultations @ Gary's "World of Wellness"

Confused About Vitamins and Herbs? What to take? How much? When? Concerned About the Safety of Prescription Medications? Are there Natural Products Offering Alternatives or Support for these Medications?

How Does Natural Supplementing Help Build My Immune System?

Have You Been Diagnosed with a Disease or Syndrome and Would Like to Know If Any Alternatives for Treatment are available?

Thank you for inquiring about my services!
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gary Wolf, and I have been consulting in nutrition for over eight years. My original education was received at the University of Pittsburgh, where I earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Pharmacy with a minor in physiology. After practicing pharmacy for twenty years I became disillusioned with the consistent pattern of deteriorating health of my customers. The hasty decision to alleviate symptoms with medications continually resulted in complications and poor quality of life. Health Care Reforms made it even more difficult to consult with my customers on improving their health. In order to utilize my education for improving others quality of life I made a career change and enrolled in the Clayton College of Natural Health’s Master of Science program. Combining this education with my Bachelor’s degree enabled me to actively engage in nutritional consultations. Since then I have enrolled in other certification and continuing education courses and currently am enrolled in a Doctor of Naturopathy program. Along this way I have earned the Certificate for Natural Health Professionals, CNHP, and the Certification of Nutritional Counseling, CNC. These and other accreditations have successfully enabled me to assist my clients in their quest to achieve “optimal health”.

Currently operating a health food store affords me the opportunity to survey a wide variety of nutritional supplements. Our Holistic Health Center provides close contact with several modalities for strengthening the mind, body and soul such as Yoga, Massage and Energy workshops. Careful recommendation of quality supplements specific to one’s needs combined with dietary changes, and other lifestyle modifications results in improved health and quality of life.

My private consultations include a thorough past medical history along with a complete understanding of my client’s lifestyle. In addition I evaluate genetic predisposition’s and risks associated with occupation, environment, diet and medications. I am also certified to perform several different human functional assessment tests. These tests include urine, saliva and serum testing [1]that measure hormone levels, hidden food allergies, air borne allergies, digestive abnormalities, bone density, hair analysis and bio impedance. As an orthomolecular nutritionist my goal is to match each individual with nutritional supplementation best designed for his or her personal needs. Programs including specific dietary needs and exercise programs are recommended. I include comprehensive detoxification protocols, oxidative stress profiles and am certified in both Iridology and Kinesiology.

The comprehensive initial consultation requires an array of questionnaires to be completed one week prior to our meeting. This affords me adequate time to prepare for our consult and allows me to have a strong understanding of my client’s needs and goals. The preparation performed before meeting with my clients presents the opportunity to spend time during the first consultation outlining a strategy to obtain their goals rather then just fact finding.

The fee for the initial consultation includes adequate time for discussion and developing a program to achieve our goals. Additional evaluative tests would be extra and those fees would be discussed on an as needed basis. It is my goal to achieve results without performing these tests, but the benefits of such would be detailed should I feel them necessary. Some consult services may include:

  • Individualized vitamin & supplement profiles to match your specific lifestyle demands, genetic predisposition or medical condition
  • Natural hormone replacement therapies for pre, peri and post menopause
  • Sports nutrition to improve strength and endurance, or prepare for competitions and any sporting event.
  • Rebuilding and strengthening of the immune system
  • Natural complimentary programs for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis,
  • Autoimmune disorders, digestive and nervous system disorders.
  • Individualized programs for weight loss and improved body composition
  • Dietary Recommendations based on results from Immuno-1 Food Sensitivity Testing
  • Body composition analysis with the use of Bio-Impedance Testing.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service[2]

Good Health Always,

Gary Michael Wolf, R.Ph., CNHP, CNC.

 Nutritional Counseling Fees[1]

 Other Information

Functional Assessment Tests

             Gary’s five areas include assessments of Gastrointestinal, Immune, Nutritional, Endocrine and Metabolic function.  The tests are non-or minimally invasive, with a few employing challenges to the body as a way of evaluating a specific function in action.  We use samples of hair, urine, blood[1], saliva, and stool to evaluate the body’s performance and to suggest areas where therapeutic interventions can improve and add longevity to that performance.

            Due to diverse selection and variations within each test, as well as the fluctuation in the fees as determined by the labs, no published listing is possible.  Fees for these tests would be discussed on an as needed basis.  All payments are made at time of  ordering the tests.   Payment is made directly to Gary.

Helpful Additional Tests

            Traditional tests performed by your primary care physician or specialist,  such as blood work, bone density tests, magnetic resonance testing, cat scans, etc. are highly recommended by Gary.  It is advisable that these and other evaluative screenings like mammograms, pap-smears &  prostate exams be conducted on a regular basis with the reality of early detection for improved prognosis.  Gary would appreciate that copies of the results from these tests be included with the original questionnaires when applicable.

Supplements

            As vitamins, herbs, and other nutritional supplements will be recommended as part of program to assist one in achieving their goals, it is Gary’s commitment to insure that these products be of the highest quality and standards.  There is no assessment added to any product because of the consulting services.  Products will be chosen to best deliver results in the most cost efficient manner.  Gary guarantees that all products sold will be at the lowest possible price.  If for any reason you believe that you can obtain any equivalent product for a lower price, Gary will be glad to offer that product at the same or better price.  It is his intention to form this consultation into a long lasting relationship.  Gary encourages you to be aware of others prices,  with the strength of his retail store volume and his background in operating a large discount chain of pharmacies, he is sure that his pricing strategies and supplement protocols  will deliver value, savings and results.

  Benefits of Being an Active Client3

            Consultation clients will automatically be a part of the retail store’s nutritional club.  As an active client of Garys you will be able to write personal checks for all purchases and services, (the retail store does not accept checks).  A toll free number will be made available for you to use for any phone orders, or any out of state calls regarding questions and concerns.  As an active client all supplementation protocols will be entered into a database.  This database allows Gary to contact clients when new items and findings are revealed that may benefit  you and your particular situation.  In addition if any findings are released regarding adverse side effects Gary can easily notify you with any cautions or changes.  As an active client you will be made eligible for a “green card” earlier then the requirements for retail customers.  This “green card” entitles you to additional savings on all supplements of 10%, as well as other private sales offered on the “Web-Site” and through print advertising coupons.  As an active client Gary will always prioritize your needs and phone calls, and is available for your questions, concerns and support at any time.  Most phone calls will be returned within 24 hours when possible.

Phone Reorders

            Customized Reorder Forms will be generated after the initial consultation.  These forms will be updated as required for ease in the reordering process.  In addition there is room for questions you may have and news releases regarding new items that may benefit you.

Payment 

            Payment may be made to Gary Michael Wolf, R.Ph., CNHP, NC.,  by Visa, Master Card, Discover Card and Personal Check.  Debit Cards or MAC – ATM cards can also be used but for in store payments only.  Payments made through Gary's "World of Wellness" will automatically be refunded to Gary.
