WHICH DIET PLAN REALLY WORKS
Weight loss trends seem to be in the news, magazine covers, top selling books and on just about every page on the internet. Do you follow a low-carb plan, Paleo, high-protein, or low-fat. It's not as important as where you begin but how you finish!
The simple truth is there is really no secret formula. Some weight loss plans are safer than others and some may seem easier to follow.

Your Integrative Health Management Team will design a weight management program following careful assessment of your current health profile and a comprehensive nutrition screening while promoting a meaningful and supportive partnership with you.
Integrative Health Management approaches our client as a whole being, addressing the root causes of the problem of weight gain rather than merely treating their symptoms. Integrative Health Management’s Weight Management Program involves the emotional, nutritional, social, physiological, spiritual and environmental factors of the client's life. The goal of weight loss and weight management from a holistic view is to identify the root causes of weight gain which may be different from one client to another. This “whole person” approach can help our client achieve meaningful, long-term weight loss and healthy weight management.
Stress and weight gain
Our clients tend to report overeating and consuming “comfort foods” high in sugar, fat, and empty calories when they are feeling stressed. Research shows that individuals who experience chronic, long-term stress may be more prone to weight gain and obesity leading to other health complications. Your Nurse Wellness Coach and Nutritionist will support you by developing an individualized plan that includes promoting a healthy lifestyle with stress management education.
Mindful eating
Integrative Health Management educates you regarding mindful eating through strategies including meditation. These stress management interventions help our clients cope with stress, and change their consciousness around eating. You learn to slow down and tune in to your sensory experience of the food, including its sight, texture and smell.
Customized Nutrition Programs that match your lifestyle preference including a Personal Chef that prepares your meals weekly.
Implementing cost-effective prevention strategies by integrating comprehensive holistic clinical expertise and resources supports our clients success.
