The
COPE Method
Caring for your health properly is so much more than just taking care of individual areas of your body. At Anchor Wellness Center, we follow a “functional medicine” approach that treats the unified system of your body, holistically.
What is not sustainable, cannot be successful.
A young woman walks into a laboratory. Over the past two years, she has transformed almost every aspect of her life. She has quit smoking, run a marathon, and been promoted at work. The patterns inside her brain, neurologists discover, have fundamentally changed.
Marketers at Procter & Gamble study videos of people making their beds. They are desperately trying to figure out how to sell a new product called Febreze, on track to be one of the biggest flops in company history. Suddenly, one of them detects a nearly imperceptible pattern—and with a slight shift in advertising, Febreze goes on to earn a billion dollars a year.
An untested CEO takes over one of the largest companies in America. His first order of business is attacking a single pattern among his employees—how they approach worker safety—and soon the firm, Alcoa, becomes the top performer in the Dow Jones.
What do all these people have in common? They achieved success by focusing on the patterns that shape every aspect of our lives.
They succeeded by transforming habits.
As award-winning reporter, Charles Duhigg explained in his bestselling book, “The Power of Habit” the scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed
In years of my practice, I came to realize that if I cannot help people change their habits, any results I achieve for them will not be long term. I can detox them at a cellular level, optimize their hormones, get them on the perfect nutrition for their genetic and biological makeup and they will get fantastic results, lose the excess weight, reverse their chronic disease and become full of vigour and vitality. They will achieve results in the short term but soon they will go back to old habits and reverse the progress they had made.
What is not sustainable, cannot be successful.
Hence, I developed the C.O.P.E. method where the “Enhanced Mind Mastery” is a big piece of my methodology to get you on a successful and long-lasting life of health, wellness and vitality.
One of the biggest elements of our program is helping you at your subconscious level to change those habits which are detrimental to your health. And this is not about using Willpower or any other woo-woo. Remember your brain does not know if it is a good habit or bad habit. Your brain has been programmed to do what it has been programmed to do that programming happened many, many years ago. It’s not your fault. Naming and shaming will not help.
That is why we believe that in order to fully heal your body, you have to commit to a lifestyle approach to health.
Remember Consistency will always beat Intensity.
Cellular detoxification
You are NOT alone!
You are among a growing number of Americans who are suffering from energy and weight loss resistance. This condition is being driven by neurotoxins that affect our brain, hormones, and ultimately our cells. It is a cellular problem that goes far beyond feeling tired or the inability to lose weight; neurotoxins are an “up-stream” cause of most chronic health conditions today. Majority of modern chronic diseases, including the rise in autoimmune conditions, autism related disorders, hormone conditions, cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, thyroid conditions, diabetes, chronic pain, and any inflammation driven disease, are all connected a condition of neurotoxicity resulting from an overflow of substances that are poisonous or detractive to our nervous system called neurotoxins. These toxins accumulate like liquid filling a bucket. With each toxic exposure, drop-by-drop your bucket becomes fuller. A drop here and there isn’t such a big deal, as our immune systems were designed to handle a degree of toxicity. However, chronic exposure to an onslaught of chemical, physical and emotional stressors fill up your bucket each day, and at some point, the bucket begins to over flow resulting in neurotoxicity. Toxic symptoms may occur when we get to our personal limit of accumulated toxins and are not able to clear them quickly or efficiently enough.It may take a few decades before your bucket spills over, but once it does cellular inflammation is triggered, symptoms arise, and disease manifests.
- Preparation Phase: Strength downstream detox pathways to support toxin removal.
- Body Phase: Removes toxins at the cellular level and move toxins from deeper tissue stores (i.e. brain).
- Brain Phase: Clears deeper bio-accumulated neurotoxins that lead to most symptoms
Optimization of Hormones
- Growth and development
- Metabolism – how your body gets energy from the foods you eat
- Sexual function
- Reproduction
- Mood
You are unique and so should your hormone level be based on your level of performance. An optimal level should be the level that allows the individual to be free of the complaints and physical signs of a hormone deficiency without provoking any signs of an excess.
- Hot flashes.
- Night sweats.
- Vaginal dryness.
- Pain, itching, or burning during intercourse.
- Bone loss.
- Low sex-drive.
- Mood changes.
- Irritability
The goal of hormone optimization is to assess whether hormone levels in the body are below their optimal threshold and, if so, to treat this by developing a plan to improve hormone function.
If your body is simply not producing the hormones as it should, HRT could be an option. This treatment can either supplement under-produced hormones or replace them altogether.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a form of HRT that uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones naturally produced by our bodies. While traditional HRT uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones, BHRT uses only those that are plant-derived. BHRT has been shown to improve well-being in several areas, but especially in restoring balance to the endocrine system.
