Let’s stop the insanity. Diet books, counting calories and watching the weight scale.
Our approach to improving weight is focused on balancing your body. Ultimately it is the ability of your body metabolism to efficiently make energy for daily living that will determine whether you gain or lose weight.
When weight loss becomes difficult you may be experiencing the effects of a “stuck” or imbalanced metabolism. Your metabolism affects how efficiently you convert your food into energy for daily life.
Weight gain and being overweight is just a symptom of a greater problem involving an imbalance of body composition and metabolic function of your body.
An Integrative Medicine approach to identify the cause of your weight gain
All of the following cause imbalances that can disrupt your metabolism and make weight loss difficult:
 Improper balance of food choices and meal timing - Low level of daily activity or disability due to pain or injury
- Imbalance in hormone and neuro-transmitters function
- High daily lifestyle stress and poor sleep patterns
- Food and food chemical sensitivities
- Any shift in body composition that lowers lean body mass or body water distribution will affect metabolic efficiency.
- Mitochondrial dysfunction can cause fatigue and lower metabolic function.
- A new hidden metabolic disruptor is a body accumulation of toxic “obesogens” that can lower thermogenesis
- Aging gradually causes changes in metabolic activity
How many of these factors do you have?
Are you eating in a way to match your genetic bio-individual body type?
Each person has a genetic blueprint that determines their body mass, muscle type, body fat distribution pattern and hormone activity. This affects your body shape and individual metabolic activity level. A weight loss plan needs to recognize a persons’ individual body type.
We address all the major reasons for weight gain:
- Food allergy and food addiction
- Decreased carbohydrate tolerance and poor blood sugar control
- Hormonal imbalances
- Nutrient deficiencies that decrease metabolism and increase cravings
- Lack of medical and professional support for adequate length of time
- Lack of knowledge about food choices (starving is NOT a desirable option)
- Lack of knowledge about safe exercise for overweight individuals
- Accumulation of toxic obesogens
