The inability to achieve weight loss is a SYMPTOM of an underlying health issue.
Do it once. Do it right.
Ninety-five percent of weight loss patients fail to keep their weight off because they never addressed the root cause(s) of their weight gain. We work on uncovering the root causes (thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalances, poor gut health, adrenal dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, toxicities, inflammation, etc.) of our patients’ weight issues. Once this is accomplished weight loss becomes a lot easier!
What to Expect as a Weight Loss Patient
All weight loss patients start with an initial Health & Medical Investigation with one of our health coaches to uncover WHY you can not lose weight and/or WHY you can not keep it off. Once the WHY(s) are uncovered and addressed you will find that it’s a whole new ballgame. From there, you will work collaboratively with your health coach and/or Functional Medicine Clinician to select the most appropriate treatment plan.
Most patients spend between $300 to $1,500 which includes appointments, advanced and standard labs, and the needed weight loss treatment protocols. Every patient is unique and every weight loss plan is specifically tailored to one’s unique needs.

An Individualized Approach
Some patients need only the initial Health & Medical Investigation to get on the right track and periodic follow-ups for accountability. During this 60-minute consultation our health coaches address lifestyle issues that can contribute to poor gut health and GI issues, inflammation, hormonal and endocrine imbalances, sleep problems, and many other chronic conditions. Patients with a more complicated health history may benefit from testing to evaluate thyroid and adrenal function, hormone imbalances, gut health, nutrient status, detoxification dysfunction, and immune function.
For patients who may benefit from lab testing, we schedule a consultation with one of our Functional Medicine Clinicians. Once the patient completes the labs we schedule a follow-up visit with a clinician to review the lab results and the progress of any therapies.
We utilize advanced diagnostic tests to identify roadblocks to successful weight loss (diagnostic tests are covered by most insurance plans). Examples of some of the tests we use include: comprehensive stool studies, comprehensive nutrient analysis, saliva cortisol testing, organic acid testing, chemical and toxin panels, saliva/blood/urine hormone studies, and genetic testing, to name a few.
Once we identify and remove the medical barriers to weight loss, losing weight becomes so much easier. We have spent a great deal of time and energy developing different protocols and programs to treat the most common medical barriers that prevent our patients from losing weight and/or achieving optimal health. While these programs and protocols provide great results, not all patients need them. Many patients are able to achieve their weight loss and health goals simply with a few health coaching sessions!
Weight Loss Plans
Listed below are a few examples of the many weight loss treatment plans we offer. Prior to recommending a plan, we use the initial health & medical investigation and any lab and diagnostic results to uncover the “WHYs” for weight gain and/or the inability to lose weight. Only then can we choose a productive plan for weight loss – the “HOW.”
Intensive Gut Rehabilitation Program
Price: $325-$450
This 60-day program includes an elimination and reintroduction diet in order to determine the presence of any food intolerances that could be sabotaging your weight loss efforts. It also includes a comprehensive therapeutic regimen of gut healing nutraceuticals.
Medical Detox Protocol
Price: $225
High toxin burdens can be a roadblock for many patients due to their propensity to cause endocrine disruption and inflammation. This 10-day program is designed to help eliminate toxins from your body, decrease overall inflammation, and improve detoxification and endocrine processes.
Other Customizable Diets
We can provide customization of many useful and therapeutic diet programs with proven track records. These diets include: intermittent fasting, Mediterranean diet, Modified Paleo diet, ketogenic protocol, etc. Our team can take into account any dietary restrictions (gluten-free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc.) when customizing your diet.
