Weight Loss

When is weight loss necessary?

You might benefit from a weight loss program if you can’t seem to lose 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 or more extra pounds. Extra weight is connected to many chronic health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. So, weight loss is a gift for your whole-body health and self-confidence.

What kind of testing do I need for the weight loss program?

Your weight loss program at Hands on Health Wellness Center starts with blood work to evaluate your body’s chemical makeup. Through lab testing, the team can identify prediabetes, diabetes, high cholesterol, and other issues.

Detailed micronutrient testing identifies nutrient deficiencies and imbalances in your body. Lab testing helps the team determine what you need to get the best results from your weight loss program.

What can I expect in my weight loss program?

The team takes an integrative and functional medicine approach to weight loss, emphasizing whole-body health and wellness to help you get the best results. This includes:

Nutritional counseling

Nutritional counseling guides you in choosing foods that help you lose extra fat. The right eating plan can increase energy, build muscle, and support your immune system to give you long-term health benefits too. Special nutritional counseling is available for diabetes and autoimmune diseases, tailoring the program towards both the disease and weight loss goals.

Supplements

The team recommends the specific supplements you need to correct dietary deficiencies and jump-start weight loss effectively. Hands on Health Wellness Center uses only the highest quality nutritional supplements from brands including Apex Energetics™, Pure Encapsulations®, and Biogenetix™ nutraceuticals.

Exercise program

Exercise is vital to weight loss, so the team recommends a plan that fits your real-world needs. They may recommend cardio exercise tailored to your ability levels alongside a functional medicine approach to exercise, in which you learn how to strengthen your core and limb muscles. The team also offers exercise classes in the office and over Zoom. 

Detoxification

Your environment and lifestyle can subject your body to severe stress over time. A stressed body has fewer defenses against illness and disease. The team helps you detox naturally, allowing your body to return to an ideal state of wellness and helping set the stage for the most efficient weight loss.
