Weight Loss – Safe, sensible, and lasting

I designed a program I call Metabolic Reset which will allow you to make changes to your diet, exercise, stress management and sleep.
It takes 6 to 12 months to make all the changes. You can lose weight each month. Keeping the weight off is a much deeper issue.
“Change States” section of this website details the stages of change and provides some understanding of why it takes 6-12 months for the Metabolic Reset to occur.

You can lose weight and have lasting improved function. It requires making changes to your life to lose weight and keep it off.
Weight gain is caused by issues such as insulin resistance, fatty liver, hormone imbalances, thyroid imbalances, chronic stress, sedentary life style, consuming inflammatory food, inadequate protein or fiber, and irregular eating (such as skipping breakfast).
Making improvements that are recommended to you will allow you to reduce insulin resistance, fatty liver, hormone imbalances and alter a sedentary life.

We provide medical supervision, GLP-1 medication, and a moderate sensible approach that leads to weight loss and improvement of underlying causes.We reduce cravings, impulsive eating, high blood sugar and fatty liver.
Personalization is provided after a health history, examination and extensive lab work is completed.
It takes time to learn what foods are inflammatory, what foods contain too much sugar, what foods have protein and fiber. I teach you how to determine how much protein and fiber you need every day and how many calories a day are appropriate for your weight and lifestyle.
It takes time to translate the learning into new practices. While you are learning you can be losing weight and altering the underlying conditions that caused the weight gain.
I use Chinese herbs, nutritional support, hormones as needed, medication as needed, and in depth personalization of your food choices.
The GLP-1 medication we use is Tirzepatide compounded with vitamin B6. We do not use Ozempic, Mounjaro, or pure Tirzepatide.
Before we can evaluate if you are a candidate for the Metabolic Reset, we need to perform a risk assessment in person. Sometimes I have to work on underlying conditions first in order to get optimal results.
Get off the weight loss/weight gain merry go round and regain your health and normal weight. You can stop the food noise, change your day to day practices, and look better and prevent chronic diseases. There are many details to discuss, which I can do in person or on the phone or zoom.
