Give Yourself the Gift
of Improved Digestive Health

  

The holiday season is upon us, and so are large meals containing rich, refined foods. To ensure your body properly digests and absorbs needed nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, one needs to keep the digestive tract healthy by:

  • Following a well-balanced diet
  • Eating small meals regularly
  • Reducing the amount of refined fats and sugars
  • Drinking plenty of fluids between meals

Standard Process offers whole food supplements to encourage optimal digestion:


Multizyme® - Contains digestive enzymes that assist with the proper breakdown and absorption of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Pancreatin further enhances multiple metabolic processes.  View Multizyme catalog page.


 

Zypan® - Includes betaine hydrochloride to provide the foundation for proper gastric hydrochloric acid production. Proteolytic enzymes and pancreatin primarily support the digestion and absorption of protein. View Zypan catalog page.


Gastrex® - Formulated to support digestive functions in the stomach and small intestines. Natural ingredients cleanse the upper gastrointestinal tract to promote healthy digestion. View Gastrex catalog page.


Cholacol® II - Bentonite has adsorbent properties that act like a magnet attracting waste materials and aiding in the cleansing of the entire intestinal tract. View Cholacol II catalog page.


Lact-Enz® - Combines digestive enzymes with beneficial intestinal flora to help maintain a healthy intestinal environment and assist in the breakdown of macronutrients. View Lact-Enz catalog page.


Okra Pepsin E3 - The combined properties of its contained nutrients support cleansing of the bowel and promote effective motility of intestinal contents. View Okra Pepsin E3 catalog page.

Spa Etiquette 101
 
by Katie Miller, Spa Director
 

Looking to get that special someone a Spa Gift Card for the holidays, but are afraid that they are unsure of proper spa conduct and etiquette. We have some easy tips that will help soothe make their experience more enjoyable.  

  • Try not to eat for at least an hour before a treatment, and avoid the consumption of alcohol on the day of a treatment. Drink plenty of water before and afterward
  • Book as far in advance as possible in order to ensure getting the particular time, day, and therapist you want. It's easiest to accommodate you during off-peak hours, which are often in the mornings and mid-week
  • If you have any type of medical condition, be sure to mention it when you book an appointment. Certain treatments may not be advisable for you
  • If you must cancel an appointment give the spa as much advance notice as possible. 24 hours' notice is required to cancel a single service, and 72 hours required for a package of services to avoid cancellation charges.
  • Turn off the cell phone
  • Keep your voice down-you don't want to disturb other treatments in progress
  • Wearing underwear during a treatment is optional (however boxers my be cumbersome) and your therapist does not require an explanation
  • Communicate your preferences. All aspects of treatment can usually be modified to your taste: amount of light, music, room temperature, and whether or not you choose to have a conversation or enjoy the treatment in silence. If you want the therapist to go deeper or be gentler, let him or her know. Also, feel free to ask questions. Your therapist will appreciate knowing your thoughts and clarifying any issues you may have.
  • The therapist will only uncover the part of the body they are working on, ensuring that your modesty is respected at all.
  • It is ok to fall asleep during a treatment.
