Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program
Learn about our medically managed, 12-week comprehensive weight management program. No more failed New year’s resolutions! This program is recommended for anyone who has 15-50+ pounds to lose, or more than 10% body fat to lose based on body composition.
Gaining fat (especially around the middle) is the #1 complaint that we hear in our office in midlife. It happens to almost every woman (and most men) as a result of a complex combination of hormonal and lifestyle changes, but the good news is it CAN be reversed.
So what can we do about this situation, which often leaves us feeling scared, frustrated and out of control? When we keep trying things that used to work and see no results, we can feel defeated and often give up. Our friends, family and even our doctors may tell us “this is just the way it is,” but the truth is that YOU CAN lose the weight and be healthy, self-confident, strong, and improve your longevity and quality of life.
It seems that our hormones are fighting against us to keep us fat, and in fact they are, but this can all be addressed with modern science to help you to succeed in your goals.
Did you know that the one thing that humans living to 100-years old have most in common is low body fat and high muscle mass? To live a long and healthy second half of life, our goal is to help women maintain a body fat of 20-30%, and for men 10-20%, and YOU CAN DO IT!
This is much more complex than simply calories in/calories out. If it were that simple, we would all be successful already! We succeed together by using a combination of healthy nutrition (yes, you can eat, we will not make you starve, and you can eat grocery store foods), manageable exercise, hormone optimization, as well as the latest FDA-approved medications which help to lower insulin, decrease appetite and shrink fat cells.
Book Your Consultation
What To Expect On Your Three-Month Weight Loss Journey
Step 1: Pre-visit lab draw (may be run through your insurance) to assess hormones and general wellness, including diabetes and lipid screening. If you are a new patient and you have not previously had a dedicated hormone consult, we will schedule that first (prior to scheduling your first weight-loss consultation) since hormone balance is foundational to success.
Step 2: Initial one-hour consultation to evaluate your body composition, goals and nutrition plan. Based on your personal needs, we will recommend the latest and safest hormonal support, weight-loss medications and supplements to help you to succeed and will design a nutrition and movement plan that will work with your lifestyle. With your permission, we recommend starting with BEFORE pictures and taking pictures every two-weeks to document your success.
Step 3: 30-minute virtual or in-person check in every two-weeks for six visits – includes body composition, review of nutrition, movement, medications and supplements.
Step 4: If your journey continues past 12 weeks, 30-minute check in every two to four-weeks as needed until we reach your goal.
Step 5: Access to TruSculpt Flex® for a hugely discounted price.
