Local Sports Medicine Doctor Spearheads 21-Day “Purification Challenge”

Capitol Rehab of Winchester, a chiropractic and wellness practice successfully treating spinal injuries such as disc protrusions, sprain/strains, sciatic and other forms of radiculitis —  has recently become the center hub for more than eight (8) locals who have come together to kick off a 21-day dietary “purification” program under the leadership of Capitol Rehab Director Dr. John Doepper, DC.

“This purification program will help participants look and feel better,” says Dr. Doepper who is not only leading the challenge but is also journalizing his own purification experience by blogging and posting videos on his practice’s blog. “We know how hard it is to stay motivated on any healthy weight loss program. We developed this idea utilizing the Standard Process Purification Program to make success possible with fun and teamwork approach.” Dr. Doepper adds, “We know that if you are on a program with a support team, success in eminent and failure not an option.”

The foundation of the group’s 21-day purification program includes eating whole, organic, and unprocessed foods; taking whole food supplements; and drinking plenty of water. “You eat vegetables and fruit from days 1-10, with select proteins added at day 11,” says Dr. Doepper. “It’s simple, yet clinically effective.”

Dr. Doepper began blogging his purification experience from day one to provide extra support to the participants of this dietary challenge. “I try to be upbeat and stay supportive,” says Dr. Doepper who shares fun anecdotal quips such as the one he posted for Day 3:

“Day 3 is almost over. My Lab is very happy with the program. She has gone for a long walk/run three days in a row. She is very happy to get out and pleased with me. But then again, Jasmine is always pleased with me. She is always happy to see me and believes everything I do is with uncompromising integrity. When I said to her, ‘I will take you out everyday during this 21 Day Purification Challenge,’ she had no doubt. Well, my goal is to not let her down.”

The purification challenge is now at Day 12 and Dr. Deopper has lost more than eight pounds. Others, too, report positive progress:

Billy Wallace, a purification program participant, recently posted the following on the practice blog:

“Actually enjoying the purification diet. I feel great and have plenty of energy. I am actually eating more than I normally would; the shake for breakfast; packing a healthy lunch; and then having a great dinner. Normally, a breakfast was hit or miss, and lunch was the same. I haven’t missed the coffee; haven’t had any headaches from not having it either. I actually feel as if I am sleeping better through the night.”

Martha, another participant, recently shared:

“I feel better and sleep much better than before. I wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.”

And Michelle, also participating in the purification challenge, says:

“I’ve lost 4 lbs the first week and my skin is softer and not dry.”
