To reserve a Lifestyle Change Program or a Supervised Fast, please take the following steps:

Step 1: Assessment

  • Create an Online Medical Records Profile

    It is our first preference that our patients use our ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS SYSTEM (CHARM EHR) to submit their medical history, questionnaires, essays, food diary, upload medical records, etc. This is the most secure method and we encourage our patients to participate in Electronic Health Records with Hawaii Naturopathic through CharmEHR. If you are able to do this great, if you feel challenged by technology or computers, we do not wish to add further stress for you, simply SKIP FORWARD to the next step. If you can go electronic with us, please follow the link below to the next steps.

            When patients start detoxification and/or lifestyle change programs with, we strongly encourage patients to complete the process. It is natural for the detoxification and healing process to be unsettling and uncomfortable. It is important to us to see patients through this. When people leave in the middle of the process the consequences can be detrimental to their health, both psychologically and physically. We find that resistance to change is strongest in the first few days. Our refund policy is intended to support your transition to health.
