DR. PICKENS SUMMARY
ACHIEVE UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL RESULTS
UTILIZING SUPPLEMENTS AND AESTHETIC PROCEDURES
My wife, Sylvia, and I are pictured above at various stages in our lives. We have developed a nutritional and exercise and aesthetic procedure schedule that has been of great benefit to our lifestyle and optimal health. It can work for you too!
Before a patient considers aesthetic procedures, his/her overall health and nutrition must be studied. If these components of one's nutrition and health are lacking, then collagen, elastin and other aspects of the skin cannot be replenished unless the appropriate building blocks are being established in the body on a daily basis. Good nutrition is essential to make the desired components such as collagen and elastin to improve elasticity, without good nutrition skin tone and texture are not likely to happen.
Building blocks in the body are similar to having the construction workers but no building materials and therefore you will not get a house built. The hammer and nails are missing, i.e., vitamins, minerals and enzymes. This applies to an aesthetic procedure, you will get a procedure to stimulate collagen and elastin growth but if you do not have the nutrients to make these components, you will not get the maximum result you want. In the case of building a house, you have the hammer and nails but without the workmen, nothing will be completed. This is the same for your body, in that good nutrition must have raw materials like vitamins, minerals and enzymes to develop optimal health.
Excessive weight is often the cause of medical problems in individuals such as back pain, fatigue, pain in the joints and various complaints of patients when they go to the doctor’s office. Excess weight is a key element in the development of degenerative processes such as diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. Lack of good nutrition contributes to these same conditions and complaints. Many patients are told to “take off 20-30 pounds” as if it is an easy process. They leave the doctor’s office without specific recommendations on how to do that. The patient has no idea what the right foods are to eat or how to exercise. Each patient who is overweight is an unique case. As a physician one of my primary objectives is to specifically inform the patient of the foods to emphasize and those to avoid. During office visits, I inform the patient of the most recent medical research in exercise and nutritional advances. It is not possible for anyone to obtain all the important nutrients he/she needs from the foods eaten daily. High quality supplements are essential and the patient supplies me with his/her symptom survey available on my website for my review and recommended essential nutrients he/she requires to feel better and be healthier and this must be done on an individual basis. Maintaining a stable weight with a BMI (basal metabolic index) of less than 27 is absolutely necessary to remain healthy from our youth to the senior years.
If you complete our specific symptom survey, we can replenish your specific needs in nutrition to obtain the proper building blocks for optimal health. The symptom survey will display what you need nutritionally to help create your body building blocks and make the results of aesthetic procedures pleasing and what you want to achieve in both looking and feeling better. You can start the procedure to complete the Symptom Survey by clicking here. After you contact Dr. Pickens' office and talk to Sylvia Pickens, you may take the survey. You must have a password along with a consultation fee of $50.00 by Visa or Mastercard to Dr. Pickens before completing the survey. Your survey will be analyzed and Dr. Pickens will supply you with a prescription of supplements that will best meet your needs. It is impossible to obtain all the necessary nutrients our bodies need just from our daily meals. Whole food supplements are essential on a regular basis.
If you live in the Salt Lake City area, Dr. Pickens will see you in his office to talk about his wellness regimen constructed specifically for you after completing the symptom survey. If you live in another area, Dr. Pickens will discuss your specific and personalized wellness regimen with you by phone after you have completed the survey. There is also a short patient information form you must complete and mail to Dr. Pickens before completing the survey. Any information you supply to Dr. Pickens is protected by our security protection. Thank you and we look forward to reviewing your information and getting you started on an effective, physician supervised nutrition program. Please call Sylvia Pickens in the office for complete and detailed information.
