You've undoubtedly tried some of these conventional diets (or know somebody that has) and experienced exactly what we are talking about. So what can you do?

We have designed a Holistic Weight Management Program to address the four main causes of obesity sited earlier:

1. 1. Improper food choices
   2. Lack of exercise
   3. Hormone & Neurotransmitter imbalance
   4. Psychological/emotional issues

We have discovered that a balanced ratio of the macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates & fats) in the diet, along with proper calorie intake, exercise, emotional support, and balanced neurotransmitter levels are the keys to permanent weight loss and optimal health, and have put this information together into a simple, easy to follow program to help you reach your weight lose goals.

Our dietary program helps your body achieve the exact body chemistry it needs to allow optimal weight loss (Alkalizing the Body). In addition, following the Holistic Weight Management Guidelines will help your body to balance the hormones (What's Insulin Got To Do With It) and neurotransmitters (Neurotransmitter Deficiency) that are critical to successful weight loss, maintaining proper body composition and achieving vibrant health.

Once we have your appetite under control and you are eating a balanced diet, we will help you start a professionally designed exercise program. This program was designed by Jon Hinds, a professional fitness trainer who has helped thousands achieve peak physical condition. It incorporates simple exercises you can do at home or on the road that gradually increase in difficulty as your level of health and ability improves.

In addition, we use a state-of-the-art computer program to track your progress and help us to pinpoint potential problem areas before they get ahead of us and hinder your weight loss. The computer program is another key that only the Holistic Weight Management Program offers. It tells us exactly how much weight you will lose in the next week, month and year, and can tell us exactly how much time it will take for you to reach your goal weight. How's that for accuracy and motivation!

Finally, the Holistic Weight Management Program provides weekly support groups to enable you to reach your goal weight. True healing and health encompass balancing the body, mind and spirit. Holistic Weight Management therefore MUST address not only the physical aspects of losing weight; it must address the mental and emotional issues that come up along the way. Our Holistic Weight Management Program provides you this support through weekly support groups facilitated by professional health care practitioners in which we help you overcome any obstacles you may run into along the way to your goals.

These support groups will allow you a safe and caring environment where you can express any questions, concerns or feelings that you have that may be holding you back from achieving your goals. There are many emotional and mental ties to being overweight and losing weight. Many feelings, emotions, unhealthy thinking patterns and self-esteem issues are directly tied to this issue; we all have them on some level and they need to come out to achieve optimal health in weight loss. Our trained staff will help facilitate discussions so that we can uncover, work through and find solutions to these issues with the support of your family of friends working toward their goals in Holistic Weight Management.

In addition to providing the mental and emotional support necessary for healing and weight loss, you will also learn new recipes, see how to perform new exercises and learn tricks of the trade to make your Holistic Weight Management Program fun and enjoyable.
