In our office we meet so many clients that have tried just about every weight loss program. Losing weight is not a “one size fits all” process. We realize that every patient is different, and we work hard to make sure you achieve the results you’re looking for. Our team will work one-on-one with you to modify the program to best suit you and your body’s needs.
Numbers Beyond the Weight Scale
It’s important though to understand how much of a problem we are having with weight in the US. According to the National Weight Control Registry there are about 108 Million people on diets in the United States, and these dieters make about 4-5 attempts each year. There are about 220,000 people with morbid obesity, and the cost for bariatric surgery can range from $11,500 to $26,000. Another study by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine estimates by 2030 about 42% of US adults could be obese adding $550 billion to heath care costs.
Obesity also brings increased risk for other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer or even stroke. There’s no better time than right now to make changes to your current lifestyle. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but the changes that will impact you will also make a huge difference for your family.
The Reason for Our Success
The reason we have so much success with weight loss is because we know that everyone’s reason for weight gain can be completely different. Weight gain for some patients results from stress or poor lifestyle choices, and for others it can be more complicated. It’s not uncommon for us to find that some people are pre-diabetic and need assistance with handling blood sugars. Others may struggle with weight loss because of infections or conditions like Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
The Activate Metabolics Program
In our clinic we use a four-tiered approach called the Activate Metabolics Program for fat loss:
These are the combined ingredients that are helping thousands of people reach and maintain a healthy weight. Our goal here is very simple: to take massive action towards the over-weight and obesity epidemic that is leading to metabolic syndrome and more illness and disease in our country than any time in history.

We use Testing and Technology right from Day 1 with our computerized BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS which enables us to better understand that body of yours. What really makes up your current weight? In other words, let’s measure actual fat, muscle, water and bone weight. It allows us to be informed as you lose weight! How much fat could you safely and sensibly shed? What about muscle? Some people have more muscle mass and that makes the scale read heavier than a peer with much lesser muscle mass but who may be the same height and generalize size.
We also use GENETIC TESTING. That’s right we check our weight loss client’s DNA! Just like we’re all different on the outside, we’re all very unique inside too! People differ in the way they process and assimilate different nutrients, how they store or absorb them and more. Until our clients know this, they are probably just guessing at ratios of proteins, fats and carbs they need. This report serves as our long-term success manual for our clients.
What do we mean by this? It’s simple: this is NOT a diet! It’s eating very intentionally to create a change we want and need. It’s strategic. We tend to avoid the word “diet”. That word itself conjures up ill-feelings for most of our clients. By design they tend to be temporary, short-term, quick fix, fad … and most simply don’t work. We want to see more of a lifestyle shift – to help clients think differently about their body, understand it better and engage in their unique DNA based eating plan.
Don’t get me wrong though… The Activate Metabolics program is highly strategic right from the start to get the body to wake up and get into a “fat burning metabolism”. When folks commit to our initial jump start phase the results are typically significant, quick and exciting. But, we always have to shift gears, hit cruise control and settle into that lifestyle development to reach and maintain our goal weight. We want clients thinking long-term! And that takes strategy and as we move through the necessary phases.
Most people’s bodies and habit patterns benefit from assistance in the initial phase of a strategic eating plan – especially if they really want to get a good, effective jump start. This is critical early on, but this piece of the puzzle is one we like to emphasize should be short term.
We do not want anybody dependent on any product. But, we want to assure you get through those early challenging times and have things that can naturally assist with hunger, cravings, and that lethargic-yuck feeling most feel when they attempt to make significant changes. Importantly, we use proven formulas with natural ingredients. There are NO drugs, NO shots and NO hormones. Oh, and you will never have to buy a special brand of shakes, bars or boxed food in this program!
Many people we meet with will come right out and admit their biggest challenges or frustrations. They say things like “I really need help” or “I feel overwhelmed” or “Someone needs to hold me accountable” or “My health conditions concern me or prevent me from losing weight”. These and similar phrases are common and shared daily. That need for direction, oversight, accountability and personalized, sensitive support is very common. It just is what it is! That’s why The Activate Metabolics Program is structured to fill this need.
Doctor oversight and close accountability is indeed a key piece of the puzzle … as much as daily communication in that beginning, most challenging phase! Some programs have clients check in one day then they’re completely on their own. Some may have even been told not to check their weight for a couple weeks until they see them again. As a result, people have no idea what’s happening with their body. They may go days with questions and needs not being addressed.
We actually insist that our clients share their weight and how they feel, what they may be struggling with (there are usually solutions if addressed right away!), questions they may have and more. Weigh daily – Text daily” is our motto for the first phase. That close text communication and consistent in person visits carries on for the duration of their program. This model creates teamwork. As a client, you will never feel alone in this program!
