Monica works with clients to help balance the body holistically through nutrition, homeopathy, herbs and clinical grade food based supplements. These solutions help the body repair and correct properly.

Most health programs are ongoing without an end goal. This program is different because it has a beginning middle and end. Once we remove what's in the way of your body working properly and fix the underlying reason why, you should be able to maintain your health moving forward!

Monica will create a customized program that is specifically designed for each client’s unique body. No two programs are the same. This way, the body gets no more and no less than it needs.

You also get free access to our Client Education Program online which teaches you how you got symptoms, how we are fixing it and how to keep your health into the future.

💗 Immune Phase: Where you are on the most supplements and we are handling the overwhelm on the body and helping the body get rid of immune pathogens that it can’t handle on its own. We are also supporting the digestion that is not working properly during this phase as well as pulling out toxins like chemical toxicity and heavy metals that you are being exposed to in your everyday life. We are also reviewing weekly food logs customized for you during this phase. This is like putting training wheels on your bike/body!

💗 Repair and Rebuild Phase: Now your body has dealt with the overwhelm and can begin to work more efficiently which requires much less supplementation and less frequent visits. In this phase your supplements go down by more than 60% and your body is out of its emergency state. Throughout this phase you will continue to be on less and less supplements as your body starts kicking in more and more to do its job and needs less and less support. During this phase we are addressing all of the next underlying layers of the onion by fixing the imbalances and inflammation that caused your body to not be able to fight things off on its own and remind it how to do its job properly, the way it was built to!

💗 Maintenance: During the previous phase, you have been needing less and less supplements until your body naturally falls into maintenance. You are usually just on a couple of supplements when you move into Maintenance and you will know exactly how to eat to keep your body balanced and working properly so that it can protect you from future buggies. In some cases, you might need another supplement for those people who are missing an organ or on birth control pills, have implants, etc. to help maintain your balance moving forward. (Welcome to your new you!)

Monica identifies problem areas through muscle testing and applied kinesiology (see video here) which is a non-invasive way of analyzing the body using neurological reflex areas and meridian points to determine areas of weakness or stress and what the body needs to correct that dysfunction.

Since each person is unique and different, no two people will get the same program. This type of testing helps determine the underlying issues so instead of trying to fix something by trying to squash the symptom, we go to the underlying why or what's causing that imbalance.

For example, if two people have the same thyroid condition or autoimmune disorder, they won't get the same program here because they will have different underlying issues causing that imbalance.

Once you begin to follow the recommended program, you could see results in as little as a few days to a few weeks!

It's important to finish the program until the Maintenance phase which is the end of the program so that we can fix the underlying issues and you can maintain and keep your health moving forward!

✳ Results depend on how well you apply the program, current meds you are taking, your age, and your physical/health history.

After an initial discussion about your current concerns and reviewing your health history with you, Monica will conduct a Functional Interference Assessment. (Click to see video) 💻

Following the analysis, Monica will review the findings with you and provide feedback.

If you decide to sign up for the program, you will then receive a unique supplement program tailored specifically for your own body to follow which will help support your immune system and restore balance to the body so that it can work as nature intended.

✳Please note this supplement program requires regular monitoring and cannot be done on your own.

This program that requires weekly re-check visits in the beginning to adjust your food and supplement program until your body stabilizes which varies from person to person.

The required frequency of visits is based on how your individual body responds and how it tests from week to week. Once your body stabilizes, less frequent visits are required.

We are not able to just give you a list of supplements to take because we need to adjust your dosing, supplements and diet based on how you test from week to week. The body's needs will change as it's repairing. Regular monitoring is required.

✅ Getting through the program and into maintenance takes approximately 10-12 months, on average BUT you will start to feel better in a matter of weeks and it will continue to improve.

✅ Some people take less time and some more depending on how well you stick to the program and your physical condition and history when you start. We see what shows up as we “peel the onion” along the way! 

✅ The reason you want to complete the whole program until the end is so that you stay healthy moving forward. If you stop the program before it's complete, issues can come back over time because you did not complete addressing the underlying dysfunction that caused the problems you came in to address.

✅ We will have a better idea of the length of time it will take at your 3 month re-evaluation visit where we can get a more clear picture of your rate of progress.

✅ Over time as you progress, you will require less supplements and less frequent visits until you eventually move into the maintenance phase of the program where the end result is having the knowledge and immune function to be able to keep your health on and into the future!

The initial exam and consult visit is 60-90 minutes is $375. 

Weekly visits can be paid up front or as you go. You save money if you pay up front instead of week by week but you can do it either way.

Weekly re-checks are $125 per visit if you buy a pre-pay package PLUS you get the Re-Evaluation visit for free which is a $150 value.

You can save $450 on a 12 week package.

If you decide to pay as you go, it's $150 per visit and you have to pay for the Re-Evaluation visit $150 additional every 90 days.

Please see the FAQ titled "How much do supplements cost" for more information.

⭐OVERALL INCLUDING SUPS & VISITS COMBINED, it costs anywhere from $1400-$1900 per month for the first 5-6 months during immune phase and then goes down to about half after that and continues to decrease from there.

The monthly cost of supplements is impossible to guess without any history or exam because it varies from person to person. Each person gets a different supplement program based on what their body requires.

A rough range would be  anywhere from $800-$1050 per month for the first 4-6 months during the "Immune Phase".

More supplements are required in the beginning during the Immune Phase while we are helping the body deal with the overwhelm that it can't handle on its own.

The quantity goes down by more than half once you are in the Repair & Rebuild phase. That's when the body is stronger and more able to function properly on its own without the "training wheels".

We use herbs, homeopathics and whole food supplements with glandulars from 3 different companies including Marco Pharma, Standard Process and Systemic Formulas.

These are not available over the counter and are professional grade supplements that have to be dispensed by a practitioner who is trained in how to use them properly.

These are not the types of supplements that you would be familiar with and serve very specific functions to address the underlying cause of imbalance in the body.

For example, if you are low on Vitamin D we do NOT give you Vitamin D. We figure out WHY the body isn’t making Vitamin D properly and fix that issue so that it’s not a Band-Aid. 

If your gut needs probiotics we do not give you probiotics. We figure out why the gut is not balancing itself properly and fix that. Probiotics would be a Band-Aid and not a true solution.

We recommend you doing labs and blood work through your MD to rule out any urgent or serious conditions.

We don’t do labs or blood work for what we do here because even though blood work can tell you if something is abnormal or malfunctioning in the body, it can’t tell you WHY. The type of testing we do gives us the WHAT and the WHY so that we can address the actual source instead of trying to squash the problem without fixing why it’s happening.

Also you need a 60% degradation in most cases for blood work to show abnormal whereas this testing shows us dysfunction at 5% degradation. You can have symptoms before showing abnormal labs because people are feeling symptoms sooner on the disease chain before it will show up in labs.

See video of how our testing works: (Click to see video) 💻

We do muscle testing and can determine if you are sensitive to certain foods or ingredients. You can see more about our testing process above in the FAQ "How does the testing work".

However, what we do here is ELIMINATE food sensitivities. All food allergies are an inflamed immune response. If you address what’s CAUSING the inflamed immune response, then the sensitivities go bye bye.

Some food allergies aren’t even allergies! It’s just that your body is not making the enzymes or HCL needed to digest and break down your food properly. That usually happens because there is overwhelm in the body of one or more toxins, bacteria, fungus or other pathogens that are causing interference with your body’s ability to digest properly.

We are able to get you on the right supplements so that your body can start digesting and breaking down it’s food properly. Not only do we put you on the right combination of digestive support for your body, but we also put you on supplements to help remove and handle what’s INTERFERING with your body’s ability to do that on its own. Eventually, you won’t even need that support because your body will start making what it needs on its own and voila…no more food issues!

That being said, it doesn’t fix overnight. You will need supplements for a period of time until the body self corrects properly.

We make our recommendations based on incorporating animal protein that is pasture raised and organic because animal protein supplies the necessary nutrients that the body needs to self heal properly and it cannot produce it on its own or through plant based protein. In a nutshell, it won't work without animal protein which is why we can't provide support for vegan or vegetarian diets.

I spent over 40 years as a vegan and was not able to get my health back until I started eating animal protein even though I spent 10 years trying everything as a vegan to get my health back. I did not get any results until I incorporated the RIGHT kind of animal protein and made changes to enable my body to kick back in and start doing its job properly!

You can't drive your car by putting water in the gas tank...🚗

Nope! If you don't like to cook you can get meal delivery or meal prep delivery. Also there are a ton of places nearby where you can get food within our guidelines for takeout as well.

People end up being surprised at how much they end up loving it! You will learn about substitutions that are easy to make and there are meal delivery options and all kinds of tips and tricks that make it work to integrate into your lifestyle.

We make changes with you on a gradient and part of the program is weekly food log reviews with changes to make each week.

To see our Immune Repair Food Guidelines List you can download it for free here: https://www.monicahershaft.com/food

In addition to the weekly body scans, food log review, and supplement adjustments as your body is healing, we also provide CEP which is our Client Education Program AKA Owner's Manual to your body.

CEP is provided free of charge to our patients. This is an online support system program with short weekly modules with action steps you can take to start making improvements right away!

Each week, you watch a short video and learn more about how the program works, how and why your body gets symptoms, what we are doing to fix it and how you can make choices in the future to maintain your new state of health!

We have seen people experience relief because making these changes reduces inflammation and helps the body work the way it was meant to.

Learning how to maintain your new level of health is the most important aspect of all!

We do not focus on weight loss here but many people have either lost or gained weight depending on if their body NEEDS to lose or gain weight!

This program helps balance hormones, immune function, improve digestion, metabolism, etc. We do not focus on weight loss or gain. As the body gets healthy and starts to work properly, then the body loses or gains the weight it needs! How long that takes totally varies from person to person.

If you are strictly looking for weight loss or gain and don't have any other symptoms, this would not be the right program for you since that is not our primary focus here.

Yes! The deficiencies or imbalances accumulated over the years can lead to a breakdown in resistance, or immunity resulting in health challenges. The good news is that it is possible to reverse the process.

Each cell, tissue, and organ in the body is in the process of replacing itself every day. This program provides exactly what the body needs to repair, replace, & restore. 

The testing tells us when and what to use to bring about the desired result. Plus, the proof is in the reviews. Click here to read our 5-star reviews on Yelp!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

No because nutrition and holistic preventative services aren't covered by insurance. 😞

That's because your nervous system could be blocked or switched! That would prevent your body from responding properly. We can determine that and fix it! See more info about that at this link: https://www.monicahershaft.com/blocking-switching
