Introduction: Have you tried everything to lose weight - to no avail? Are you the heaviest you've ever been? The difference with my service is that in addition to my 25 years of weight loss expertise, nutritional degree, psychology degree, and medical background, you also get my partners, two board certified doctors. Additionally, my husband is a brilliant MD (and chief of staff) at a well known hospital and we have the benefit of his expertise as well. Together, we identify the underlying causes of your weight problem (which is more complex than just eating too much) These may include; hormonal deficiencies like thyroid imbalance, leptin resistance, insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic insufficiency, set-point abnormalities and vitamin deficiencies.
We have a wide-range of methods to treat these conditions, ultimately leading to permanent weight loss success. The fact is, diet and exercise is rarely successful for long-term weight loss if such hormonal and metabolic disturbances are left untreated. Hence, whoever you interview and ultimately choose to guide you should have mentioned how critical it is to ascertain whether you have any hormonal factors that lead to your weight gain/weight problem, rather than assume it's a matter of you're not having will-power to eat less.
Please, Please be wary!! of a "nutritionist" or trainer who promises weight loss by simply following their "diet" (It's so much more complex than that!)
Have you wrecked your metabolism with too much dieting or exercise?
You never eat fast food, to the contrary, you are constantly depriving yourself and doing regular strenuous exercise, but you can’t seem to lose weight or keep it off. You starve yourself and work out and find you're maybe a whole quarter pound lighter! AND....as soon as you go back to your normal diet routine, the weight comes back. You swear you have no metabolism but your doctor says everything is normal. Your friends recommend yet another fat burning diet but nothing seems to work. Sound familiar?
Well, we're here to correct the problem and guide you to sustainable and measurable weight loss success! ! After our first consult, I'll send you to Quest lab (Don't worry they accept every single insurance plan) to determine the physiologic basis of your weight gain/difficulty losing weight. The Dr's and I will go over your results along with your extensive medical history and customize a plan based on the safest yet most aggressive (fast) course of treatment for YOU so that you're losing the lbs fast.. It's the antithesis of a one size fits all plan !
Ultimately, the difference with coming to us is that we approach weight loss from every angle. What good is going to a weight loss expert who designs a plan for you without knowing who you are from the inside out?
