Weight Loss Lifestyle

Why the Weight Loss Lifestyle Program?
As a wellness doctor I recognize and appreciate the internal wisdom of the body.  This internal wisdom has the capacity to keep us healthy and to heal us when healing is needed as long as we remove interference to the body's ability to heal and regulate itself.  Interference comes in the form of lifestyle stress.  When we experience lifestyle stress greater than our body’s ability to handle it, we subluxate (spinal mis-alignments).  Subluxations interfere with the messages from the brain to the body.  When this happens the body is less able to keep us healthy.   Lifestyle stress comes in the form of physical stress, mental stress and nutritional stress.

When a person is over weight or does not have the muscles to properly move their body they can experience all three levels of stress.  The physical stress of carrying around unnatural weight, the nutrition stress of ingesting food that causes us to gain weight and the mental stress of not having the body that you desire can all lead to interference of our natural healthy state.  This is the motivation for our lifestyle center to create a program that addresses weight loss.

My goal is to have our clients go through a process of learning a lifestyle that burns fat and builds muscle.  I would like to have our clients lose weight and keep it off through living the lifestyle instead counting points, calories or by needing specialized food for the rest of their lives.

This program does use specialized medical food for a period of time to help jump start the process but the intent is to teach you strategies that will allow you to be independent of such foods.  There are many choices of products that help people lose weight.  After a great deal of studying and review, the evidence pointed to the medical foods created by Metagenics.  It's not easy to get the medical food labeling but Metagenics has taken the time, money and resources to achieve this unique labeling that you will not find on most weight loss products.

The Weight Loss Lifestyle Process

This is a 90 day program to help a person create a lifestyle that produces a body that is leaner and stronger.   The first stage starts with a 10 day detox.  This is kind of like a "factory reset" for the digestive system.  During this phase the individual eats a specific diet while utilizing  UltraClear medical food.  Doing this clears the body of toxins in the liver and the large intestine while shifting the body's PH from acidic to a more neutral state. Acidic bodies are more prone to health problems. (learn more)

The next stage of the program is to reintroduce high quality foods into the body.  To accomplish this we utilize smart meal selections from the grocery store and specialized formulas called medical foods.  UltraMeal bars and UltraMeal Plus 360 protein contain targeted nutrients to help manage certain health conditions such as chronic fatigue, metabolic syndrome, central obesity, cardiovascular disease and pre-diabetes. (see research study) Also in this phase you will be given supplements specifically designed for your gender making sure your body has all the nutrients required to improve function.  The lifestyle process also includes six educational programs to ensure that you know how to keep the weight off, enjoy your new body shape and maintain the energy that you deserve.  

During the 90 day program you will be provided with your medical food, healthy food choice recipes for Dinner and Lunch, Complete Wellness Essentials,  and six lifestyle programs to help you reach your desired lifestyle.  The programs are: The Psychology of Change, Strength and Flexibility Concepts, How to make a Workout that Counts, Weight Loss 101, Basic nutrition,  Stress Management.  Each participant will receive base line and post program biometric data to track progress. (body weight, percent body fat, and circumference measurements)
