Most weight loss programs are not preceded by a thorough hormonal and metabolic evaluation.
It is not uncommon for hormonal imbalances or deficiencies to either cause or exacerbate weight gain. At the Institute for Healthy Aging, we perform the following:

Evaluation

• History and physical exam
• Nutritional history
• Body fat testing, height, weight, BMI, and waist to hip ratio
• Measurement of resting metabolic rate
• Laboratory testing
• Resting EKG
• Stress test (when indicated)

Treatment

• Dietary recommendations
• Weekly nutrition consultation and weigh-in
• Weekly physician visits
• Daily monitoring of your food intake, with immediate intervention as indicated
• Exercise recommendations
• Personal training
• Non-stimulant herbal supplementation
• Appetite suppression*

Why is our Weight Management program successful?

1. We address all hormonal abnormalities.
2. We set your daily calorie budget below your energy expenditure (resting metabolic rate + energy spent during daily activities + exercise), but not low enough to severely depress metabolic rate.
3. We monitor your food intake and communicate with you daily, not weekly.
4. We insist on regular exercise, which boosts metabolic rate.
5. We don�t use "diets". We help you gradually improve the way you eat.
6. We use safe, non-stimulant herbal supplements that aid weight loss.
7. We use a novel appetite suppressant created by Dr. Rosenberg, that can be taken every day, indefinitely.
