A Customized Plan To Meet Your Weight Loss Needs

We all function better following a consistent routine including nutritious meals and an active lifestyle. Sometimes we just need a helping hand and some accountability when it comes to maintaining that balance. Let us help get your health back on track with an effective yet sustainable nutrition and lifestyle plan.

The First Step - A Complete Assessment

A healthy diet and regular exercise play an integral role in any successful weight loss plan, but they are not the only factors. Other key issues include the potential identification of food intolerances and/or other digestive issues, mental-emotional concerns as well as hormone imbalances. Identifying whether or not these are an issue for you will go a long way to help not only lose the weight, but also keep it off in the long run.

During your initial assessment all of these potential issues will be assessed along with a complaint-oriented physical exam, waist to hip measurements and body composition testing. If additional testing is indicated over and above what has already been performed, we will advise you accordingly. Additional testing may include comprehensive hormone testing, relevent nutrient and other metabolically-based blood tests and/or food intolerance testing. The relevance and pro's/con's of each will be discussed so that you have a thorough understanding about how each test can be helpful to you.

A Customized Treatment Plan

Once the core issues have been identified, your Naturopathic Doctor will formulate a treatment plan based on the most up-to-date information available regarding the best lifestyle and nutrition and supplement practices. This will include one or a combination of the following:

You will also receive follow appointments to reassess your progress and re-measure your waist:hip circumference and body composition. Regular modifications to your plan along with continual support and encouragement will be provided to help you stay on track and achieve long lasting weight loss success.

The Result? Benefits of improving your weight and body composition in a healthy way are life long. Engaging in the healthy lifestyle practices we recommend for our patients often leads to a better state of mental health, increased energy levels, more effective stress management skills and an improved overall sense of optimal health and wellness.
