A 4 week group weight loss program designed to jump start your weight loss. Menu plans use real food in the right proportion. It is about slow carbs, not low carb, healthy fats not fake fats, and lean proteins that taste good.
Weight loss is more than just a calories equation. Food provides the body nutrients. Supplying the right nutrients to the body is essential to turn on the bio-chemical pathways that lead to insulin control, decreased inflammation, hormonal balance and hence weight loss.
(Dietary supplements are recommended for interested individuals, rationale for each nutrient will be explained.)

Nutrition Response Testing (Muscle Testing)
Nutrition Response Testing is an electromagnetic muscle test that identifies which foods increase and decrease the flow of Chi in the body. It is an individualized approach to eating and helps people learn how to stay well. It can, also, help identify food sensitivities.
It is difficult for people to identify their own food sensitivities because physical symptoms are often delayed. Food sensitivities may play a role in some illnesses:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Migraine Headaches
Fibromyalgia
Heartburn/GERD
Arthritis
Joint and Muscle Pain
Eczema/Hives
Autism/ADD
Nutrition Response Testing is not covered by insurance. Cost $120 per session. (45 minutes to an hour)
