About Be Your Kind

Be Your Kind takes a holistic approach to weight loss, combining naturopathic medicine with proven acupuncture techniques. Our Edina clinic focuses on treating the whole person, not just the number on the scale. We understand that sustainable weight loss requires addressing underlying imbalances in your body's systems.

Our experienced practitioners work with you to identify root causes of weight gain, whether they're hormonal, digestive, or stress-related. We've helped hundreds of patients achieve lasting results through personalized treatment plans that honor your body's natural healing abilities. You'll find our approach refreshingly different from typical diet centers.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive weight loss services blend traditional naturopathic medicine with time-tested acupuncture protocols. We offer detailed metabolic assessments, nutritional counseling, herbal medicine prescriptions, and targeted acupuncture treatments. Each patient receives a customized plan based on their unique constitution and health history. Our naturopathic doctors are trained to identify hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, and digestive issues that often sabotage weight loss efforts. We also provide stress management techniques, sleep optimization strategies, and lifestyle coaching. Acupuncture sessions focus on appetite regulation, metabolism enhancement, and cravings reduction. Many patients notice improved energy and mood within the first few weeks. We track progress through regular check-ins and adjust treatments as needed. Our goal isn't quick fixes but sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term health and weight maintenance.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation where we review your health history, current symptoms, and weight loss goals. We may recommend lab work to assess hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, or metabolic markers. Based on findings, we create a personalized treatment plan combining dietary recommendations, targeted supplements, and acupuncture sessions. Weekly visits typically include progress monitoring, acupuncture treatments, and plan adjustments. You'll receive ongoing support through our patient portal and have access to educational resources. Most patients see initial results within 4-6 weeks, with significant changes occurring over 3-6 months.

Why Choose Be Your Kind

What sets us apart is our commitment to finding the root cause of your weight struggles rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Our practitioners combine years of clinical experience with ongoing education in functional medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. We take time to listen and understand your unique situation. Unlike quick-fix programs, we focus on sustainable changes that improve your overall health. Our patients often report better energy, improved sleep, and enhanced mood alongside weight loss. We maintain small patient loads to ensure personalized attention and support throughout your journey.

Insurance & Pricing

While naturopathic services aren't typically covered by insurance, many patients use HSA or FSA funds for treatments. Initial consultations range from $200-300, with follow-up visits $100-150. Acupuncture sessions are $80-120 each. We offer package deals for multiple sessions and payment plans for comprehensive programs. Some insurance plans cover acupuncture, and we can provide superbills for reimbursement. We believe investing in your health pays dividends in improved quality of life.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared with a detailed health history, including previous weight loss attempts, current medications, and any relevant lab results. Wear comfortable clothing for acupuncture treatments. Plan to commit to at least 12 weeks for meaningful results, though many patients continue care for ongoing wellness support. Be honest about your lifestyle, stress levels, and eating patterns so we can create realistic goals. We recommend keeping a food and mood diary before your first visit. Most importantly, approach treatment with patience and openness to making gradual, sustainable changes rather than expecting overnight transformations.
