Programs for weight management are developed by undergoing an in-depth nutrition assessment and history. We believe that the history can determine how the initial weight gain began. Common causes of weight gain are often chronic dieting, emotional eating or chaotic eating. Once the cause is determined, a new lifestyle plan can be developed in order to promote a permanent weight loss. Dieting and diet mentality is usually counterproductive, since it promotes feelings of deprivation which eventually result in rebound eating. Private or group therapy using non-diet methods is available.

If you are planning to take medication for weight loss or you have already started taking medication, we can assist you with an individualized nutrition evaluation.  We can help you to minimize side effects from the drug, prevent muscle loss while promoting fat loss, and can help you prevent nutritional deficiencies.  We can also help you to establish new food and lifestyle habits so that weight loss can be permanent vs. having rebound weight gain after your personal goals are reached.
