Weight Management
& Metabolic Health
Weight gain does not have to be a normal function of aging.
As we age, weight management does become more complicated as other imbalances affect our metabolism. Insulin resistance from long-term consumption of sugary processed foods and drinks, the disruption of hunger hormones, estrogen dominance with menopause, a sluggish thyroid, excess cortisol, and toxins all play a role in weight gain. Even our genes can affect how we metabolize our foods and the signaling of important hormones.
Most people feel the disappointment with their weight loss programs because they have not addressed the underlying imbalances.
My personalized weight management & metabolic health programs
evaluate and treat these underlying issues:
-
Insulin, adiponectin, and hunger hormone imbalances are a common cause of weight gain. These become stubbornly resistant from a long-time diet heavy in sugars and high carbohydrates. Corrective strategies in diet will break food additions, insulin resistance, and restore metabolic balance.
-
Our accumulated toxic burdens result in unwanted weight gain around the middle, as our livers are unable to keep up with the increasing demand on the detoxification process. We will evaluate your daily toxic exposure and consider a detoxification program as a start. The NutrEval test is extremely valuable to assess your toxic burden and your methylation health.
-
Adrenal hormones, thyroid, and estrogen/progesterone imbalances are common challenges as we age and go through menopause. These hormones play an important role in healthy metabolism and need to be rebalanced for successful weight management.
-
Specific genetic SNPs (variations) can impact the way we metabolize our macronutrients and store fat. A nutrigenomics evaluation can tell us a great deal about how and why you gain weight. It can be a game-changer for people who have tried everything.
In your weight management program, I will provide you with the optimal nutrition strategy based on your metabolic and genetic individuality. If you are serious about making the necessary changes in diet and lifestyle, this comprehensive approach will equip you to finally experience successful weight management.
I want you I want you to feel your best and have the quality of life you desire!
