Review: Dr. Raphael is an exceptional healer. I have been seeing chiropractors for more than 30 years and worked with four different chiropractors as their massage therapist. I have cervical radiculopathy which is literally a pain in the neck. I was going through severe pain for several months straight. I saw several chiropractors trying to fix the problem with no luck. I was back in the bay area for my wedding and saw Dr. Raphael after one visit I was 90% better and after the second visit I have been pain-free for almost 2 years now. Thank you, Dr. Raphael.When you see Dr. Raphael, you will realize you are seeing more than a chiropractor. He uses techniques from the many modalities of chiropractic he does and others he has created in his many years of practice. Dr. Raphael’s adjustments are incredibly gentle to the point that when I first started working with him I thought… “oh no, this isn’t going to work.”I’m happy to say I was very wrong. His adjustments are precise, and last!!He addresses the physical, the energetic, and the emotional components to your issues. I highly recommend him to anyone in pain. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with him today.

Review: I went to Dr. Rettner for pain in my back and neck that has resurfaced over time. I’ve had chiropractic treatment since I was young, and am a big fan. Now, I find that many chiropractors are at least pretty good and can help – but others go much farther.Dr. Rettner came highly recommended from multiple sources as being a true healer, and this is certainly true. In addition to the chiropractic work, he utilizes other energetic techniques to foster a deeper level of healing. I found myself feeling better on many levels after working with him, and will continue to keep going back. If you’re seeking deeper transformation, don’t spend any more time looking – try out the good doctor.

Review: I had not been feeling well for almost 7 years and went to many doctors. A dear friend of mine repeatedly told me, “Dr. Raphael is an angel, you must go see him!” I finally did and he has profoundly changed my life! I lost 24 pounds (and counting) on the 12 week weight loss program and Dr. Raphael has been there for me every step of the way! During my first clinical visit, he told me I had a hiatal hernia and fixed it with his hands. I didn’t even know I had a hernia, but the severe pain in my chest was gone. I had been to three other doctors and even had an endoscopy, but no one diagnosed the hernia, let alone fix it. That was my first appointment! Dr. Raphael has increased the range of motion of my neck and the “popping” noises are gone. He has relieved chronic pain from a spinal injury as well as a rolled ankle injury. I am able to breath more deeply and move without pain. My overall well-being is much better. Not only has Dr. Raphael helped me physically, he also offers amazing solutions to many challenges in my life, like helping my marriage. Dr. Raphael is wise, funny and compassionate and I am blessed to be in his care.

Review: I have been treated by chiropractors for over 30 years and they have been some of the best out there. However, I could tell during my first session with Dr. Rettner that I was in for something very special, as his techniques and methods are much more integrative, holistic and advanced than any I’ve experienced. I leave his office after a session feeling MUCH better. I highly recommend him and have told a number of my best friends about him. My wife is going to see him soon to get help with her weight and adrenal fatigue.

Fitness Routines

Creating a successful workout plan is crucial for meeting your fitness ambitions, especially for those prioritizing weight loss. A balanced regimen should incorporate cardiovascular activities, strength training, and flexibility exercises. For optimal weight loss, aim for a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise weekly, like jogging or dancing, alongside strength workouts that engage all major muscle groups at least twice weekly. Consistency matters! Tailoring your workout plan to include enjoyable activities will keep you motivated and lead to better results.

Healthy Eating Plans

A balanced nutrition strategy is critical for anyone focused on weight loss. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These options fulfill your body’s nutritional needs while promoting satiety, making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit for weight loss. Incorporating healthy fats, such as avocados and nuts, can boost feelings of fullness and deliver necessary nutrients. Staying hydrated and meal-prepping can help you avoid unhealthy food choices. Remember that an effective nutrition plan is about balance and moderation, allowing you to achieve your weight loss aspirations while enjoying your food.
