Our

Mission

We understand losing weight can be one of the biggest challenges that people face and we are here to help you on your journey. What sets us apart is our view of  weight gain as a sign of a greater underlying health issue, rather than just a symptom. Instead of focusing on losing weight, we concentrate on the root cause of the weight gain. This inevitably leads not only to weight loss, but to feeling better in general, and improvement of overall health.

OUR

APPROACH

We document your health history using the state of the art Living Matrix system and then combine that with comprehensive and innovative, take home, do it yourself, functional medicine lab testing, which utilizes the power of (AI) Artificial Intelligence to interpret the results. This translates as the most accurate and individualized interpretation and treatment plan possible.

Our approach breaks down the health imbalances that lead to weight gain into 3 categories: 1) gut 2) emotions 3) metabolism. With hundreds of patient encounters, we have seen that peak weight loss is best achieved when optimizing all 3 of these parameters.

OUR

MOTIVATION

The motivation to start this center began with the recognition of the failure of other weight loss clinics to educate patients on how to permanently lose weight. They use quick fixes like medication to speed up the metabolism and cut cravings. Although you may lose weight during the treatment period of these quick weight loss programs, the weight eventually returns.

Our approach is dramatically different. We actually reveal the reasons for why you originally began to put on those extra pounds, and currently have difficulty losing them. It puts you in control, helping you to develop new healthy habits. We teach you how to reset your 1) gut 2) emotions and 3) metabolism and keep them in check in the future. And best of all, we exclusively use natural methods to reach your weight loss goals. This path ultimately leads to not only permanent weight loss, but a healthier you. We empower you to achieve optimal wellness!

FUNCTIONAL 

MEDICINE

IS WORTH IT

By getting to the root cause of your weight gain now, functional medicine will save  you on rising health care costs in the future. The concept of functional medicine is to get to the root cause of disease, and not just view illness as a collection of symptoms.The body is one integrated system, where one process depends on the other. With obesity being a proven risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and some forms of cancer, it is a simple choice to start now.  Let us show you how you can lose weight naturally.
