We use testing and technology right from Day 1 with our computerized body composition analysis – which enables us to better understand that body of yours. What really makes up your current weight? In other words, let’s measure actual fat, muscle, water and bone weight. It allows us to be informed as you lose weight! How much fat could you safely and sensibly shed? What about muscle? Some people have more muscle mass and that makes the scale read heavier than a peer with much less muscle mass but who may be the same height and general size.
We also use genetic testing. That’s right – we check our weight loss clients DNA! Just like we’re all different on the outside, we’re all very unique inside too! People differ in the nutrients they need and the way their body processes those nutrients. Until our clients know this, they are probably just guessing at ratios of proteins, fats and carbs they need. This report serves as our long term success manual for our clients.
Daily accountability via texting and “visits” via FaceTime are available as well. You can do this program anytime, anywhere!
What do we mean by this? It’s simple: this is not JUST a diet! It’s eating very intentionally to create a change we want and need. It’s strategic. We tend to avoid the word “diet”. That word itself conjures up ill-feelings for most of our clients. By design they tend to be temporary, short-term, quick fix, fad … and most simply don’t work. We want to see more of a lifestyle shift – to help clients think differently about their body, understand it better and engage in their unique DNA based eating plan-life-long.
The Lifelong Metabolic program is highly strategic right from the start to get the body to wake up and get into a “fat burning metabolism”. When clients commit to our initial jump-start phase the results are typically significant, quick and exciting, but we always have to shift gears, hit cruise control and settle into that lifestyle development to reach and maintain our goal weight. We want clients thinking long-term! And that takes strategy and as we move through the necessary phases.
We use supplements during the initial phases of care to support your body and give you a good nutritional baseline.
We do not want anybody dependent on any product, but we want to assure you get through those early challenging times by consuming items that can naturally assist with hunger, cravings, and that lethargic-yuck feeling most feel when they attempt to make significant changes. Importantly, we use proven formulas with natural ingredients. There are NO drugs, NO shots and NO hormones on this program.
Many people we meet with will come right out and admit their biggest challenges or frustrations. They say things like “I really need help” or “I feel overwhelmed” or “Someone needs to hold me accountable”. These and similar phrases are common and shared daily. That need for direction, oversight, accountability and personalized, sensitive support is very common. That’s why the Lifelong Metabolic Program is structured to fill this need.
Doctor oversight and close accountability is indeed a key piece of the puzzle – especially daily communication in that beginning, most challenging phase. “Weigh daily – Text daily” is our motto for the first phase. That close text communication and consistent visits carry on for the duration of your program. This model creates teamwork. As a client, you will never feel alone!
We want this program to be available to anyone, anytime, anywhere. You can even have a private consultation over the phone and get your weight loss program sent to your front door! Come in to our office for a consult and receive your supplies in person. Whichever you choose, we make it easy for you to start working towards your weight loss goals!
This is the tool that we will utilize to truly understand what’s going on “inside” of your body as you are losing unhealthy fat. We utilize the technology of texting daily Monday-Friday in some phases plus FaceTime appointments so you can do this program anywhere, anytime!
When compared to other well-established and effective weight loss programs, people that were placed on a meal plan that was specific to their genetic profile lost 2.5X more weight than those that were not on an individualized plan. We utilize the same genetic tests to align strategic eating plans with our clients’ genetic profiles to help you maintain a healthy weight.
