Individualized Metabolic Balance Program

(Physician Supervised)

Cellular imbalance due to imbalance of hormones, nutrients, toxins and mind and body stress cause weight gain. Just like every other disease, excess body fat is a result of imbalances in hormones, nutrition, mind and body and the presence of toxins in the bowel and liver. The main hormones responsible for weight gain are insulin, cortisol (the stress hormone) and thyroid. As we age, and other hormones decline, we all become "insulin resistant". In times of stress, the stress hormone cortisol increases and adds to this picture. In this state, we store fat in insulin-dependent areas such as the lower abdomen, thighs, under arms and under chin. Hence, we find ourselves faced with "stubborn" weight and fat, which is resistant to calorie restriction and exercise. This program is designed to restore optimal metabolic balance and give you back your shape!

Components of Program

The program is a 12-week physician supervised program to restore an optimal balance of hormones and nutrients while reducing toxins and alkalizing the body. There is no calorie restriction in this program. This is an individualized program followed at home with the option of enrolling in a structured program for those in need of more support.

Weeks 1 thru 12 covers:

• 7-day intestinal cleanse and liver cleanse through diet modification and supplementation.
• Nutritional supplements to increase insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism and muscle support.
• Education on:
• how to balance meals with metabolically balanced recipes
• making choices when eating out
• making choices while shopping and interpreting labels on food products
• optimal sources for sugars, fat, protein, carbohydrates and fiber
• Exercise instruction to oxygenate the body and reduce acidity.
• Stress management and breathing techniques to reduce the impact of stress on metabolism.
