FAQ'S
What's different about our program?
Our program not only helps our Clients lose weight, but teaches them how to sustain their results for a lifetime. Each Client will receive their own Personal Health Coach for education, motivation, and accountability! Our coaching services go beyond weight-loss and stabilization, and continue into a period of weight maintenance.
I avoid getting on the scale and weighing myself, will this program still help me lose weight?
Scale addiction and avoidance are real, but you can do this! Time to feel empowered and encouraged! Stepping on the scale can remind you of your weight loss goals and the ability to take action before significant weight is gained. Our coaches rely on quantitative data in order to best coach you to results. Additionally, our clinic uses the Inbody scale for weekly biometric data collection. We not only address total body weight, but BMI, body fat, visceral fat, muscle mass, and hydration levels. The results are coming and will continue to come so long as you follow the program!
Why are appointments medically supervised and what does that mean exactly?
Medical supervision means that a physician monitors your weight loss ensuring that it is safe. Our focus is to preserve muscle mass and optimize fat loss. Our clients can rest assured that our programs are safe for those with obesity related comorbidities such as: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, etc. Our medical supervisor is a local, currently practicing, Board-Certified Family Medicine Physician who is also certified in Obesity Medicine.
What does having a personal health coach entail?
Having your own personal health coach entails weekly appointments with an expert in the field that will provide you with guidance, motivation, education, and accountability throughout your weight loss journey. Having a health coach means there is always someone on your side and in your corner available to help you overcome any obstacle and get you to your goal - once and for all.
