Essential Healing
Essential Healing is a philosophy formulated by Dr. Kalaba centered on 4 aspects that need to be addressed for you to heal on the foundational level.
Ketogenic Eating
Ketogenic eating at its core is a major shift from eating to satisfy hunger and/or suppress your emotions—eating to feel good—to simply eating to fuel and nourish your body, and for many, losing weight. How simple can you keep it?
Keto Weight Loss
The goal of ketogenic eating is to change the way the body burns food for fuel, specifically by turning healthy fats into ketone bodies that then fuel your cells. In the Standard American Diet, fuel that is used to power every process in your body—from healing to thinking to running a marathon—is sourced from the large amount of carbohydrates and sugars that people consume. This means that glucose is the main source of cellular energy in the body. Many people ask, then, how keto works?
When eating for ketosis, the body adapts to burning fat, creating ketones for fuel instead of glucose. Ketogenic eating involves consuming high amounts of healthy fats, moderate amounts of protein, and low levels of high-antioxidant carbohydrates, such as green, leafy vegetables and berries. It is a gluten-free, sugar-free (no added sugars) way of eating. Some people are even dairy free and vegan or vegetarian and still eat a ketogenic diet.
As you can imagine, this type of eating has been used to help address many ailments in the body, including obesity, hormone imbalances, childhood epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, arthritis & chronic inflammation, fibromyalgia, insulin sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, MS, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and much more.
Lose Weight, Gain Energy
This program specifically focuses on supporting women 40 to 60 years of age as this is a time of great transition for many. At this phase of life, women often find themselves facing the following:
Exhausted, stuck, deflated, and needing a jump-start into more health, vitality, and joy as they prepare for the next phase of life,
Solid in their jobs, happy with their relationships—single, married, with kids, empty nester, about to retire, etc.—and simply ready for the next phase of their health, vitality, and life, but need a boost or guidance, and
Ready to make the commitment it takes to enact true change in their lives and with their health.
This program is designed to help empower women by taking steps to lose weight and gain energy so that they actually feel excited, energized, and capable of embracing any changes they may be facing.
Dr. Kalaba utilizes a very simplified method of ketogenic eating to help people lose weight naturally, without drugs or surgery.
About Dr. Kalaba
My name is Dr. Lee Ann Kalaba, and I am super excited about the possibility of supporting you in jump-starting your health at Vital Life Chiropractic & Wellness.
First, I have had my own pretty miraculous healing journey. Not only have I had 2 severely herniated discs since my early 20s, I have also been managing chronic Epstein Barr virus for over 20 years. Like many of you, I have been told it’s all in my head.
I found chiropractic and within just a few weeks, I began to heal. Along with that, I started sleeping better, my allergies became less and less. I was even able to manage stress better, having fewer and eventually no panic attacks. More importantly, I realized that healing happened from the inside. I didn’t choose chiropractic for what it did for my back. I chose chiropractic for what it did for my being.
This is one reason I’m so passionate about natural health and have been for over 20 years. I’m on a mission to help transform the lives of my practice members, using improved health as a catalyst so they can then go out into the world and do something they never thought possible.
On top of this, I have used ketogenic eating to lose 140lbs over the last 5+ years! So, I really do understand what patients are going through and how to help them.
We can’t be our best selves and maximize our impact in our lives, with our families, on the job, or out in the world when we are experiencing chronic inflammation, fatigue, and dis-ease. Therefore, our health should be our #1 priority. This is why I am honored to be your Tucson chiropractor.
For someone who is experiencing these challenges, moving yourself and your health to the top of your to-do-list is very powerful and is often the catalyst to creating a transformational life experience.

She was extremely professional & caring as to the issues I was having. Asked lots of questions & was great with my follow up care! Definitely recommend for chiropractic care.
-Natalia
I’ve never been to a Chiro that has taken as thorough of an intake to be sure she understands my body and what I need. I really appreciate her gentle approach and that it works WITH the nervous system, not AT the nervous system! I recommend her to my massage clients who are looking for a chiropractor who isn’t going to simply bring them in, crack them, and send them on their way in 15 minutes or less. Thank you Lee Ann Kalaba for all you do!
-Andrea
