FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The meal plans are not diets. It is not a short-term plan. It is a plan designed to your body with recommended macronutrient (proteins, carbohydrates, fats) goals each day. These goals change depending on the goals, activity level, stress, metabolism (identified through blood work), and current phase of your program. We are creating a lifestyle for you - something you can do initially to reach your PERSONAL goals, then something you can transition to for maintenance to hold onto for life. It is a lifestyle.

YES. The meal plans are designed to you personally based on your blood tests, metabolism, medications, vitamins, goals, career, sleep pattern, and MORE. The meals and snacks recommended are based on YOUR body. This is why we see our clients so often so we can constantly work, adjust, and perfect.

You do not HAVE to eat anything. We work with you personally based on your goals and lifestyle to find the proper proteins, carbohydrates, and fats for your body which can come from animal sources, plant sources, or other options.

Most definitely. We see our clients one-on-one weekly, as well as offer contact throughout the week, to ensure quality care and personalized assistance as you create your new lifestyle.

This is on a person to person basis. We will make weekly commitments on differing topics depending on your goals. If your goal is to move more, we will work this in as well!

We do recommend tracking of food to help with objective feedback on changes we can make to achieve your success, however you do NOT have to write your food down or use an App. We have many ideas and options for easy tracking.

Medications and/or supplements are only recommended if needed based on your blood testing, consultation, and other working variables throughout the program. The medications and/or supplements are solely recommendations to complement the other lifestyle changes we are making, but are NOT required by any means!

This is based off a one-hour consultation with our Medical Provider, your medical history, medications, lifestyle, goals, and blood testing that is recommended to be performed. The medical provider will also assess any prior testing you have had done (scans, labs, etc).

Everyone is different and everyone has different goals whether this is weight loss, improving energy, improving sleep, addressing gut health, improving bloating, abdominal pain, bowel movements, improving headaches, blood sugar stability… the list goes on. Your success process will be discussed in your personal consultation. We do expect our clients looking to lose weight to lose 1-2 pounds of fat each week according to our body composition scale in the office. If we are not reaching this goal (or any other goals you wish to have), we know we need to make adjustments - which is where the weekly visits helps… so we can make quick, tangible adjustments. With that being said, we know lifestyle changes are not linear and we work with you through the ups and downs.

We monitor symptoms with a symptom log, body composition with a scale showing Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, Water weight, and accountability factors in our meetings that we are working to keep each week. We also monitor blood testing throughout the program as well to ensure improvements from the inside out!

Absolutely! We prefer to coordinate care with Physicians or Mid-level Practitioners to ensure the best quality care for each individual.

Wellness Program options differ depending on your consultation and your goal. Many of our clients will stick with us for years, though they may slowly transition down to seeing us once per month rather than weekly.

You do NOT HAVE to take or do anything we recommend. Our recommendations are solely to provide the best possible outcome for each individual.

We focus A LOT of attention on gut health in order to reduce inflammation, improve metabolism, and overall add years to your life. Many times we assess the gut health with a food sensitivity and allergy test. IgG is an immunoglobulin for sensitivities, where as, IgE is an immunoglobulin for allergies. Your body can have foods it is sensitive to and foods you are allergic to with very similar OR very different responses and symptoms. Your gut is your second brain. If we have poor gut health and inflammation in our gut, we are destined to have systemic symptoms and inflammation. We decide if sensitivity or allergy testing is needed on a person-to-person basis during our initial consultation.

We do NOT kick our clients out! We have options for continuation options as we continue to work towards your lifestyle goals and shifting into a maintenance period once you have hit your goals!

Yes! Meal plans are completely customizable to you and your food preferences.

We do not provide individuals with set meals or snacks they must use, but we do now offer prepped meals in our office that clients CAN use if they choose too. We do carry easy, convenient healthy snacks in the office but these are not required for individuals to use either.

Absolutely not. This is a lifestyle balance. Our goal is to find the right balance for you and your family. We will make recommendations on healthy options and work the ones you like into your daily meal plan.
