Weight control is a sensitive issue for many of us, but one that cannot be ignored. Obesity is a prevalent condition in western society today and overconsumption of food and lack of physical activity appear to be the major contributing factors. Studies show that 55% of Americans are overweight and 22% are obese. Life expectancy declines by as much as five years. Seventy percent of obese children will go on to become obese adults. Obesity is caused by poor lifestyle habits leading to metabolic damage causing weight loss resistance. You must repair the damage to get healthy.

There are many popular diets on the market today and they will all work for a while. According to recent studies, 95% of dieters who lose weight will gain it back in five years or less because they haven’t addressed the real reasons for their obesity. There is an ever increasing minority of people, however, who have damaged their metabolism and have one or more areas of weight loss resistance that must be resolved in order to ensure their long term success.

Dr. Dean and Ms. Stanton use several methods to determine your areas of weight loss resistance. Based on these methods we offer combined interventions of nutrition, physical activity recommendations and lifestyle improvements to help you achieve successful weight loss and weight maintenance.

We also offer a specialized, intensive weight loss program which requires a three month commitment to succeed. We look for the underlying cause of your weight loss resistance with an initial assessment, complete metabolic profile, nutritional testing, weekly meetings, meal planning, initial behavior recommendations, supplementation and unique, cutting edge exercise recommendations. If you live like a healthy lean person by eating a balanced whole foods diet, exercise, nutrient supplementation and live healthy lifestyle behaviors you will become a healthy lean person.
