Kathy's Mission

In the United States, we have the lowest life expectancy and the highest infant mortality compared to other Western countries. We have the most expensive medical system. Last year medical spending topped $2 trillion for the first time. 85 cents out of every dollar is spent on smoking, alcoholism and obesity.  What is wrong with this picture?

When Americans were surveyed they said this is what they want from their health care providers:

1. Safety
2. Efficacy
3. Patient Centered
4. Time
5. Efficiency
6. Fairness

How do Health Professionals do based on that list?

There is a better way and Kathy Kaufman is helping provide it.

With a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make a difference, Kathy represents a unique breed of dedicated and knowledgeable healthcare consultants.

 

Guided by ethics and integrity, her goal is similar to corporate headhunters with a powerful difference. She helps health professionals work smarter not harder by aligning themselves with other health professionals who share a passion for the health of their patients along with their own quality of life; basically a grassroots HMO with profits capped and spread fairly though the system and without unbalanced influence from  pharmaceutical and insurance companies.

 

How can a healthcare provider provide excellent optimal health to their own patients when they are stressed to the max and don't have enough time to take care of themselves?

A progressive alliance allows each of the caregivers to benefit, not just from their own efforts but from the collective efforts of the alliance, providing an income stream and a quality of life that enables them to fulfill both the dreams they had when they were young and the goals they have now.  

We are positioned for the powerful  change that is building in the world; it just makes sense.  Prevention is the key to healthy people and healthy economics.

Kathy is a resourceful, devoted individual who works closely with health professionals and their staff to achieve their goals. With numerous up-to-date corporate training programs, she can provide turnkey systems, resources and knowledge to achieve success.

Through the nutraMetrix® Institute, health professionals learn how Health and Wellness will serve their patients and enhance their practices with turnkey systems.

The Institute taps into the collective knowledge and experience of nutraMetrix® corporate staff members and select clinical faculty, representing a diverse and experienced group of integrative health practitioners, to present an innovative and world-class curriculum.

The nutraMetrix Institute stays current with all of the latest science in nutrition and health.

Renee Jacobs, MD

http://www.drjacobs.org

My name is Renee Jacobs. I’m in private practice as an internist in Massachusetts. NutraMetrix is complementary to my practice of medicine. I wanted to deliver more of a holistic approach to my patients. I wanted quality products that I knew were tested by outside sources, have improved delivery systems, are competitively priced, safe and help me educate my patients and also provide CME education to me.

Many of my patients are having weight management issues and nutraMetrix provides a great low-glycemic system that my nutraceutical consultant (NC) can implement for me. I’m finding in today’s environment that more and more of my patients are not wanting prescription medications or their side effects and I’m thrilled to provide them another way.

I think it is terrific that I have support in the form of NCs, trained and certified by nutraMetrix, they help educate and serve my patients/customers. They follow up and ensure that any concerns and questions are answered, they help with resolution of problems, and update me on patient compliance as well.

Because of the NCs and e-commerce enabled web portal, I can provide services in and out of the office from wherever I go.

Last but not least, nutraMetrix is another way to ensure that I have a secure retirement asset and more time with my family and friends.

The combination of the possibility of offering my patients a natural, non-drug based approach to wellness and disease modulation, and the potential residual income resulting from the nutraMetrix system was immediately attractive. Our experience over the last 5 months with both the products and the income stream has more than confirmed that immediate appeal.

In 5 months we have sold products to approximately 10% of the families in our pediatric practice. Several families have already placed repeat orders, because they are so pleased with the results of the products. For example, many of our customers report significant changes in their symptoms, such as an increase in energy and a reduction in migraines, joint pain and allergy symptoms.

The wide range of products allows us to target a number of health concerns and issues. We are very reassured about the quality of nutraMetrix products, primarily because of the science training offered by the company.

We get questions regularly about the FDA, and it is very helpful to be able to briefly discuss the importance of role of the FDA in regulating the industry and the level of attention the company brings to the issue of quality control. We have had no instances of problems with the quality of the products with any of our customers. The quality of the products, the information provided by the company, and the ever-increasing number of positive testimonials all make the nutraMetrix products very easy to recommend.

Parents who have heard of free-radical damage and the power of antioxidants, or the problems with the level of nutrients in our food chain are an “easy sale.” For parents who are not as aware of these issues, the ease of use of the isotonic delivery system is a very attractive feature. We would also say that having the recommendation for these nutraceuticals come from their physician is the most powerful reason families are willing to try this approach.

Some of our medical colleagues initially respond that they don’t have enough time in their day to add even one more thing. I see 25 to 35 patients a day and certainly understand the time crunch issue. Our experience, however, is that the “selling” of these products is a natural outcome of the usual conversations about health and wellness that are the daily routines of physicians.

If patients want more information or want to buy products on the spot, I turn them over to my wife who is a nurse in my office. Not only has the patient flow not been disrupted, but our patients are thrilled with our expanded wellness offering.

The revenue derived from the business is very satisfactory. The retail profit more than covers expenses, but the potential for creating true residual income through building our business is already becoming a reality, and building this business is generating a powerful feeling of excitement and energy. We highly recommend this business to other healthcare professionals!

Karen Semon, PT

My name is Karen Semon and I’m a physical therapist and the owner of Kare Therapeutics. The reason I decided to go with nutraMetrix system at first was the great response of my family to the products when I was testing them. Then I realized that I could increase revenue to my practice. The environment these days in the medical world is making that more and more of a challenge.

The reason I tried the products on family members was my high standards, integrity and dedication to quality. I found the products had an excellent delivery system and high quality ingredients. I would say I have about fifteen percent of my patients on products and I’m continuing to introduce new patients, as well as introducing new products to my dedicated patients.

The patients who have taken the products for a while have decreased pain related to inflammatory conditions, more energy and a feeling of well-being.

My nutraceutical consultant is not local and has provided the best support she can from a distance but has also been helping me groom and train my own local NC.

I have generated very satisfactory revenue thus far and would say the reward to effort has been quite the opposite of my PT business. NutraMetrix is an excellent ancillary service for health professionals interested in helping their patients obtain better health, decrease their patients’ need for pharmaceuticals and increase revenue to provide diversity of income for me that is based not just on my efforts but the efforts of other health professionals as well. It is a great team effort.

http://lisadecoste.nutrametrix.com/

I work at a physical therapy private practice in Rhode Island. The business of PT is not what it used to be. Reimbursement continues to decrease from our top payers, yet our costs continue to rise. As a profession, we need to look for cash-based business, as well as be open to new ideas.

I was approached by a nutraceutical consultant and was presented the gene SNP and the nutraceutical products. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products and how great a system had to offer. Not only have I had great results from the products, but my patients have as well.

It was so easy to sell the products to my patients and I was astonished as to how many of my patients were actually already taking supplements. It is so great to offer my patients a far superior product than what they were already taking. In addition to the great products and results, my nutraceutical consultant has been nothing short of outstanding.

She goes above and beyond the call of duty and has helped me build my business. This system offers a great possibility to increase our revenue at my facility and create stability in the ever changing fight for reimbursement! I also love that I am building strong relationships with other healthcare professionals, building a great network to work with. I am very happy I chose to implement nutraMetrix in my practice.

 

Consultant Testimonials

 

 

 

I received my NC certification in September 2008. I loved the NC training. Very challenging and interesting subject matter. It is just a year since I decided to own my franchise. My passion is the supplements. It is wonderful to see so many health professionals offering prevention.

I felt I had to experience more of the products myself to have a belief system strong enough to market to Health Professionals.  I began with OPC and ORAC. I am now taking or have at least tried the Multi vitamins, Calcium, Resveratrol, L-Tryptophan, Omega 3 Fish oil w/vitamin E, Curcumin Extreme and Aloe.

 I am very optimistic about my future with the company.

After a long and stressful day last week, I decided to take a capful of nutraMetrix Isotonix® L-Tryptophan before heading home for the day. I had never taken it during the day before; I had only used it before bed to help me fall asleep. I was a little nervous that it might make me tired but I decided to risk it. After about 15 minutes, I started to feel calm and in control. My mind felt clear and I was able to focus on what I needed to accomplish for the rest of the day. I didn't get a huge burst of energy but I also did not feel tired or lethargic any longer. nutraMetrix Isotonix L-Tryptophan really helped give me a feeling of calm and control and soothed my nerves.

I'm really glad to know that nutraMetrix Isotonix L-Tryptophan helps me during the day and at night!

I have been using your nutraMetrix isotonic products for over six months now and have experienced several very important outcomes to my health and well-being. First, I have more energy than I have had in a long time. At 56 years of age, I feel like I did 10-15 years ago.

Secondly, I am a cancer survivor which makes me especially appreciative of any product that builds my level of anti-oxidants. It gives me great comfort to have another weapon against recurring cancer.

Thirdly, my most recent blood test taken at my primary physician's office revealed that my cholesterol levels are much better than the last time I had blood work done. Needless to say, I could not be more pleased with these products!

I've been taking your nutraMetrix isotonic anti-oxidant product for the past 3 months for my osteo-arthritis and to be honest, I didn't think it would work. I tried the product to humor my friends. But to my surprise, after about a week I wasn't crawling out of bed and slowly negotiating the stairs like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz.

It has improved my quality of life by quite a bit -- I highly recommend this product. I also use your aloe juice for digestive problems (heartburn and diverticulitis). Without going into details, the aloe mitigated my digestive problems. I highly recommend these products, too!

I've had high blood pressure for many years; being treated with different medications. The present medication seems to be helping somewhat, but when I started using your antioxidant product, my blood pressure became perfect and just where my doctor wants it to be. I am hopeful the improved blood pressure will continue as I continue to use the anti-oxidant.

Loretta M.

I use your anti-oxidant and mocha flavored energy drink every morning to kick start my day. I find that I drink far less coffee and feel more energized to start my day. I travel often for business and this routine has become so important to me that I also order smaller sizes of the anti-oxidant and single serving packets of the energy drink to take on the road.

Transitions Weight Management Testimonial

"My name is Melissa Girtman. About 10 years ago I went into a depression and gained 90 lbs. For years, I was miserable, both physically and emotionally. I could barely get off the couch. I couldn’t physically do many of the things I used to enjoy and missed out on a lot of things with my kids.

Over the years, I tried many things to lose weight. Every time, I would lose a little weight, then gain more right back. Sometimes I would quite because I couldn’t handle the side effects of the products I used—I would get jittery or edgy, lose concentration, or worse.

The last straw for me was a fat blocker given to me by my doctor: it caused me to lose control of my bowels! That was it, I thought. There was no hope. I was going to be fat for the rest of my life! I decided that if I was going to miserable, at least I would have control of my bodily functions! I was done!

Then Transitions came into my life. Thank God. I decided to give this one, last program a try.

So I started Transitions about 3 years ago weighing 240 lbs and wearing a (tight) size 18, with a goal of to getting back down to a 150-lb, size 10. I followed Transitions lifestyle System to a tee (though I’m still working on the exercise part!) and lost 25 lbs in eight weeks!

After only eight weeks, I felt comfortable enough to put on a swimsuit and go swimming with my kids-- for the first time in years!

Transitions has been the easiest system I have ever tried with awesome side effects. I’m healthier than I have ever been! I continued on the system for about 4 more months and easily lost another 45 lbs. The amazing thing to me is how my body composition has changed: I weigh 170 lbs & wear the same size as when I weighed 150 lbs! I’ve lost 70Lbs have no hanging skin! This just amazes me!

My eating habits have changed a lot. I don’t want to eat a whole box of Ding Dongs, in a day, anymore (my kids used to hide them if they wanted any for the next day). I can even take my kids to Dairy Queen once in awhile and not have to worry about gaining weight; my metabolism is back the way it used to be!!

Today my life has completely changed. I barely get to see the couch, mirrors aren’t as horrifying as they used to be, chairs don’t get up with me, and don’t have to shop in the plus size section. I planned on losing some weight, but I didn’t expect my whole life to change!

Not only has my own life changed, but my kids’ lives have, as well. My youngest son is happy that there’s room for him on the couch with me now. Now, we do a lot more together; before I didn’t want to leave the house! These are things most people take for granted-- things and we missed out on for years. If it wasn’t for Transitions we still would be missing out on life.

If this system works for someone like me, it will work for anyone! Transitions worked when nothing else did. Whether you have a lot of weight to lose or just a little bit, this system works. Transitions is a lifestyle change-- for a lifetime!

 

Spectrum Testimonial

 

ADHD- From Meds to Spectrum Might-A-Mins

I have a son who is just 8 years old and going into the 3^rd grade. Since starting kindergarten he has struggled with school, attention, and meeting teacher’s expectations. We work with him after school with homework, new concepts and building self esteem which seemed to always be deflated after each day. After much discussion with his teacher, the school psychologist, and his physician we decided this last fall to have him tested (he has ADHD) and go the Adderall route.

Within days his teacher was happy but over time we as parents felt we had lost our vibrant, imaginative little boy as he now sat on the coach in a daze, and complained of not feeling well, all the time. He lost his appetite, always had a stomach ache and had lost a lot of weight.

During all these years I have known a someone who was very familiar with our struggles with our son and the frustration I felt as his mother with his needs. Last September she came back from a training and told me all about the Spectrum line. Having known about the Isotonix delivery system it sounded very promising but we had just made our decision to try Adderall. Two months pass…

In December the woman comes in for a haircut and I tell her crying that we have taken our son off his med’s and we are willing to give the vitamins a shot come the first of the year. She suggests that we start on the digestive enzymes and then the spectrum vitamins.

We started our regiment in January and we noticed right away a difference in his energy level and he stoped complaining of his stomach ache. By the end of January he is on both products, gaining weight and the teacher, and his school Psychologist are wanting to know what we are doing as they both see big changes in his behavior and his learning.

By the end of the school year he has passed second grade (in November we were already talking of holding him back), reading at grade level and had gained 10 pounds and feeling great. He tells us each morning that he is drinking his power drink, is happy, and feels good about who he is and what he does. We have our happy, energetic little boy back with an improved self esteem and eager to learn at school. We are so excited about the product that we have become distributors ourselves and are sharing our testimonial with who ever will listen.

Autism/PDD 

 

The Spectrum Might-a-Mins helped my grandson Adam, age 7, immensely and we saw changes within the first week. After I met another parent who had  wonderful results for her son, I was anxious to help my grandson who has 10 of the 12 most common autism characteristics like hand waving, screaming, nonverbal… We were told it was like his brain was scrambled plus he has low muscle tone throughout his whole body which really contributed to his constipation and extended tummy that we noticed very early.

 

You’d have to make him try to say even one word with lots of encouragement when you’d see him look as if his brain was trying to help him but the word wouldn’t come from his lips. Then in February ’09 we started him on OPC-3 Might-a-Mins mixed with juice instead of recommended water for isotonic delivery.

 

I know juice slows down absorption but I just wanted to get him to drink it. We were amazed at the quick results even after the first week. He began talking in sentences without being prompted. It is wonderful to hear him say, “I love you Grandma” on his own and asking questions too. The changes have continued to improve as we added the Might-a-Mins Digestive Enzymes once per day and several months later, added the Might-a-Mins Multivitamin at night.

 

He is no longer constantly sick and knows when he has to go “poop” regularly without the effort or pain it once took. Last week we waited in a long line to see a Cubs Player, Ryan Theriot and Adam was so excited talking with him and calling his name out – something he would never of done prior to the Might-a-min Spectrum vitamins and enzymes. We are so grateful for the wonderful improvement we’ve seen and I just want to share our results with everyone because these specially formulated vitamins really work! Our family is much happier enjoying more time with Adam now that he talks with us too.
