Q: What is the Health Retreat in a nutshell?

We will introduce you to an anti-inflammatory lifestyle that includes using a plant-based approach and other lifestyle essentials (proper rest, hydration, sunlight fresh air, etc.) to decrease inflammation. If you are like me, you probably have tried a little of this and a little of that without much success. I will show you how the Ten Essentials for Health™ work synergically together to bring you the health that has seemed to elude you, so you can do the things you love to do again! When diet and lifestyle therapy are done right, IT REALLY WORKS! I’ll show you how to do it right!

​

Q: Are your programs and health retreats covered by insurance?

If you are living with diabetes, kidney disease, or obesity, insurance may pay a portion of the health retreat. We will not file insurance for you, but upon request, after we have received payment and you have completed a billable portion of the program (consultations/presentations), we will be happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to insurance for reimbursement.

 

Q: Why is it worth my time and investment to participate in a Health Retreat at Sunny Dawn Acres?

Let’s face it– when it comes to getting your health back, there’s no shortage of strategies out there clamoring for your attention (and dollars): webinars, podcasts, YouTube, live streams, Facebook ads, supplements, gadgets, diets, products... Which strategy, supplement, or diet makes the most sense for you and your health situation? It’s easy to feel completely overwhelmed.

But our Health Retreats are the antidote to this...

During our Health Retreats, you will create a unique-to-you health plan that is doable, achievable, and realistic for you and can be applied immediately upon arrival back home so you can continue to feel better and better. And we will help you make the even easier by following up for any questions or hurdles you have even after you leave the retreat. 

You will:

• Learn what foods cause inflammation and how to replace them with healing foods.

• Experience the power of cooperating with natural physiology and proper digestion.

• Experience Anti-inflammatory Benefits.

• Plus, you will have the opportunity to connect with a group of like-minded individuals with health challenges, who truly get you, and understand you because they are going through a similar journey. 

 

Q: Will I have the chance to interact with Dana?

YES! Dana will be with you throughout the Health Retreat. She will be your presenter and your coach. 

 

Q: Will there be pressure to buy something else?

We intend to give value and transformation; to give you the tools necessary to get your life back and enjoy doing those things you have set aside because of your health challenges.

We do sell books, but there is no pressure to buy any books beyond what we give you at the Health Retreat or Programs. 

You will be given the opportunity to join our Start a New YOU!® Online Program to help you in your quest to transform your health after you leave Sunny Dawn Acres. Many of our retreat participants choose to do this. There is no pressure to join the Start a New YOU!® Online Program, but those who have, have found it very beneficial.  

We do not sell supplements, food products, etc. 

 

Q: What is the Health Retreat schedule?

I will answer this in a general sense as the schedule may vary slightly with each retreat. 

On arrival day, you will have time to settle in. A light supper is provided, followed by an orientation and tour of our facility. There will be some get-acquainted time before it is off to bed for a good night’s rest. 

The rest of the days will be filled with wonderful meals, motivating health presentations, hands-on cooking classes, natural therapies – such as massage and/or hydrotherapy. You will have some time to relax and enjoy some comradery with other participants.

There is a tour of the property and often a trip to Eureka Springs. We may do something at the Passion Play or another activity that may be going on at the time of the Retreat.

Our 10-12 day retreats include a grocery shopping tour and eating out experience.

You will be given an opportunity to extend your learning with our Start a New YOU!® Online Program and will be given an evaluation form to fill out before leaving.

 

Q: What aspects of health do you address?

We are interested in helping you reverse lifestyle-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, heartburn, cancer, arthritis, autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, lupus, irritable bowel syndrome, and other diseases of inflammation and inflammatory diseases, depression, and anxiety.

We will use only the best scientific research from the best schools and scholars available to us. I will give you the best motivation and encouragement humans can possibly give, but we have found that is not enough, we need a Higher Power, Something Bigger and Better than us to embrace health and conquer disease.

Good health includes all aspects of life: physical, mental, spiritual, social, and emotional. These are bound together and are inseparable. Our health systems deal with physical, mental, and sometimes social but in most cases, the spiritual aspect is neglected. However, this is not the case with our programs and health retreats. We want you to know we acknowledge and include the spiritual aspect of life.

In every culture, there are basic spiritual values upon which that culture exists, and we acknowledge your culture, your background may be different from ours. That is ok. But we do want you to know, in our programs and retreats, we will use the Bible and Christian principles as the foundation of our programs and health retreats.

 

Q: How can I be sure this is the next best step for my health?

The idea that you can actually be well enough to have a life again is tough to wrap your head around, especially after well-meaning professionals say the best that can be achieved is through medications and that such conditions you will have for the rest of your life.

Such statements can leave you overwhelmed, exhausted, and madly scrambling to implement a range of different “one size fits all” plans and strategies that may or may not be right for you.

But I’m here to tell you, that life doesn’t have to be this way.

After coaching 1000s of clients from around the world, I’ve learned that the #1 thing that holds most of them back is the question of will this REALLY work for me?

You don’t need to cross your fingers and just hope this is the ONE. You can have confidence from the 1000s who have gone before you, Our Health Retreats can jumpstart your life that REALLY decrease inflammation and pain, improve blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and auto-immune conditions. If you work the program, it will work for you too, because you will tailor design your plan with YOU in mind. Not for hubby, son, daughter, or friend, but for YOU!

Only YOU know what you want, your true desires, and your dreams, and we are here to help you make your health the best it possibly can be so you can achieve your desires and dreams. 

Have you placed those desires and dreams on hold due to your current health situation? Maybe it even feels like you’re going backward at times. But it doesn’t have to be like that any longer. You REALLY can Jumpstart your health in the right direction again.

You know you’re here in this world to make a difference, but that won’t happen unless something changes. You know something needs to change…

What would it mean for you to have your health back?

How would it feel to get out of bed with considerably less pain or even pain-free?

How would it feel to have your blood glucose and blood pressure under control?

What would it feel like to do those things you love again that you have not enjoyed for so long?

What would it feel like to sit through a meeting or church service and realize you made it all the way through without wondering when it would end so you can get comfortable again in your bed or favorite chair?

Is this possible for you? My answer is YES! But you will never know if you don’t at least try.

So let’s do this! 😊

Imagine for a moment:

Having your energy back, being able to get down on the floor to play with your grandkids, and reaching your feet to tie your shoes, all without pain. 

Our Health Retreat mission - should you choose to accept it - is to experience a simple plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle through the Ten Essentials for Health™ so you can reduce inflammation and start doing the things you love again. 

Upon completion of a Sunny Dawn Acres Health Retreat you will have 3 things:

•  A UNIQUE-TO-YOU diet and lifestyle plan mapping out exactly what you will do to kick inflammation to the curb and keep it out of your life forever.

• COMPLETE CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE to put your plan into action so you can spend more time doing what you love.

• YOU’LL SAY “I WISH I’D HAD THIS SOONER!” (But, don’t worry, now is just the right time!)

• FOLLOW-UP COACHING to help you stay the course to your best health. 

If you’re looking for relief from inflammation and pain, to stop the cascade of adding disease diagnosis to disease diagnosis, if you desire to enjoy once again those things you have laid aside due to your failing health… then Sunny Dawn Acres Health Retreat is your jumpstart ticket to health. 

Take this opportunity to Jump into Living instead of just surviving.
