Our Approach

You’ve done all you can-tried the latest diets that your friends swear by, and read popular books – and you just cannot achieve weight loss! You wonder: Why am I not losing weight? Why is weight loss not happening? So, with an open mind and high hopes, you keep looking for ‘the way’. The one thing we have forgotten is this: we can achieve weight loss through pleasure instead of suffering!

An ounce of prevention is worth tons of cure. Here is Robert Lustig, MD’s  lecture, ‘Sugar, the bitter truth’. View here.

Nutritional Assessment

We look at your functional needs vitamins and minerals, levels of amino acids, and organic acids (absorption, and digestion of nutrients).

We help you cut cravings for sugar, breads and pastas. With amino acid and vitamin therapies, you become more at choice of what you put in your mouth.

Hormone Therapy

First and foremost we start with balancing your hormones. Testosterone helps remove superficial fat. Growth Hormone and peptide therapies (GHRH and GHRP) that increase Growth Hormone release helps remove both visceral (deep) fat and retroperitoneal fat.  However, this is just the start.  As you know, achieving healthy, sustainable weight loss is not so easy. Other factors may be involved such as: food sensitivities, allergies and addictions; neurotransmitter deficiencies, the need for detoxification, reduction of inflammation, sleep deprivation, yeast issues,  the need for effective exercise and other issues that play roles in weight loss.  Each of us has different needs. The aim of our work is for you to succeed in weight loss and having a healthy, toned, slender body. This has different impacts for men and women.

Environmental and Dietary Toxins

Detoxification is often necessary to remove xenoestrogens from the body which prevent you from losing weight (see Gene Testing and Other Testing section for more information about xenoestrogens). Lose the wheat, lose the weight, says New York Times bestselling author Dr. Davis in his book, ‘Wheat Belly’. Dr. Davis states that glidain and wheat germ aglutinin (found in wheat) are toxic to all human beings. Watch video.

Peptide Therapy

The peptide AOD,  which stands for Anti-Obesity Drug, is really a peptide and is a fragment of amino acids found within growth hormone. This peptide plays a role in weight reduction seen in growth hormone. Growth hormone causes reduction of fat in the deep fat and retroperitoneal fat, whereas Testosterone causes a reduction in superficial fat. AOD can be combined with growth hormone releasing hormones (GHRH’s) and growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRP’s). Success is significantly augmented by exercising or fasting. See section on Peptide Therapies for more information.

Pleasure

Do you feel like you are, ‘Stuck in a rut of sitting on your butt’? as Theresa Stevens is often quoted asking. Lose weight by dancing! Theresa further says, “As you love your body, your body will naturally become the body you love.’  To view and to purchase Theresa’s program: Watch video.  We all have different ways to pursue fun and exercise.
