Customized to your Blood & Metabolism
The Perfect Fit!
My Weight Doctor® offers a weight loss approach that is custom tailored to your Blood and Metabolism. Unlike other programs, we don't just offer a generic "one-size-fits-all" program - our programs are customized and personalized to your body's chemistry. Blood and metabolism testing allows us to diagnose the causes of your weight problem and to fix them permanently.
Blood & Hormone Analysis
By utilizing a strict medical protocol and a comprehensive clinical assessment including an extensive blood work up, we are able to provide you with a medically supervised wellness and weight management program in which you can safely lose weight and keep it off.
Blood testing gives your doctor important information about the current status of your kidneys, liver, and electrolyte and acid/base balance, as well as, of your blood sugar and blood proteins. Abnormal results, and especially combinations of abnormal results, can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed.
- Thyroid: The loss of thyroid hormone can alter metabolism.
- Parathyroid: The loss of parathyroid hormone along with the loss of calcitonin can affect bone density and results in a malnourished state, which alters food selection. We become more likely to crave foods that are unhealthy such as French fries, potato chips, sweets, pasta, etc.
- Brain Chemistry: When brain metabolism decreases, we are not able to burn calories effectively.
- Serotonin: The loss of melatonin with age results in the loss of serotonin, which is the main cause of carbohydrate cravings.
- Gastrointestinal: The slowing down of nutrient absorption by the entire gastrointestinal tract results in malnutrition. Overweight individuals are actually suffering from malnutrition because of the nutrient deficient foods they binge on. When the body is hungry, it is actually craving nutrients; however the overweight individual thinks it is craving carbohydrates and junk food. These individuals end up with many deficiencies of vital nutrients that result in their continued recycling of craving the wrong foods.
Metabolism Analysis
Metabolic measurement is one of the key components that we use for initial diagnostic testing to evaluate and treat overweight and obese patients. It provides us with the scientific principles to screen for slow metabolism and to construct a truly customized weight loss program for you.
- High Tech: Our hospital quality measurement of metabolism determines the exact number of calories that you need to lose weight safely and quickly.
- Scientific: Once completed, your metabolic rate is used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. Your Zones will show you how to eat the MAXIMUM amount of food and still lose weight. Your body will be healthy, happy, and satisfied.
The real key to weight loss is knowing precisely what YOUR body needs. The only way to know just what your body needs is through Metabolic Testing - it will show you just what is going on inside your body. You can finally unlock the mystery of your own metabolism!
