Feel Fabulous Over 50!
Weight Loss Clinic in Berkeley, California
About Feel Fabulous Over 50!
Feel Fabulous Over 50! specializes in weight loss and wellness programs designed specifically for mature adults navigating the unique challenges of losing weight after age 50. Our founder understands firsthand how hormonal changes, slower metabolism, and life circumstances can make weight loss more difficult as we age. We've developed programs that work with your body's natural changes rather than against them.
Our approach acknowledges that what worked in your 20s and 30s probably won't work now. We focus on sustainable strategies that fit into your current lifestyle while addressing age-specific factors like muscle loss, hormonal fluctuations, and changing nutritional needs. Our goal is to help you feel confident, energetic, and healthy at any age.
Services Offered
Our services are tailored specifically for adults over 50, combining nutritional counseling with health coaching and lifestyle modification support. We offer personalized meal planning that considers common health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis. Our nutrition programs emphasize foods that support bone health, heart health, and cognitive function while promoting steady weight loss. We also provide comprehensive health coaching that addresses the emotional and practical aspects of weight loss after 50. This includes strategies for dining out, traveling, managing family obligations, and staying motivated when progress seems slow. Our group programs offer peer support from others facing similar challenges, while individual coaching provides personalized attention for complex health situations. We work closely with your existing healthcare providers to ensure our recommendations complement your medical care.

What to Expect
We start with a comprehensive health and lifestyle assessment that considers your medical history, current medications, physical limitations, and life circumstances. We discuss your relationship with food, previous diet attempts, and what success means to you at this stage of life. This helps us understand what approaches are likely to work and which ones to avoid.
Your personalized program includes nutrition education specifically relevant to your age group, meal planning that considers your cooking abilities and preferences, and ongoing coaching to address challenges as they arise. We meet regularly to adjust your plan based on your progress, health changes, and life circumstances. Our approach is gradual and sustainable, focusing on long-term success rather than quick results.
Why Choose Feel Fabulous Over 50!
Our specialized focus on adults over 50 means we understand the unique physiological and psychological challenges you're facing. Unlike generic weight loss programs, we account for slower metabolism, medication interactions, physical limitations, and the life experiences that shape your relationship with food. Our success rates are higher because our methods are designed specifically for your age group.
We also provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can discuss challenges openly with others who understand. Many clients find that working with peers who share similar experiences is more motivating than programs designed for all ages. Our approach emphasizes health and vitality over just numbers on a scale.
Insurance & Pricing
Some insurance plans cover nutritional counseling, especially if you have diabetes, heart disease, or other chronic conditions. We'll help you understand your benefits and provide documentation for possible reimbursement. Our health coaching services are typically not covered but are priced affordably for those on fixed incomes.
Individual nutrition counseling sessions are $100-$150, and health coaching is $80-$120 per session. Group programs range from $50-$100 per month. We offer senior discounts and sliding scale pricing for those with financial constraints, because we believe everyone deserves access to healthy aging support.
First-Time Patient Tips
Bring a list of all medications and supplements to your first appointment, as these can significantly affect metabolism and weight loss. Come prepared to discuss your health history honestly, including any eating disorders, depression, or body image issues. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a few days before your appointment to help us understand your current patterns.
Be patient with yourself and the process. Weight loss after 50 is typically slower than when you were younger, but it can be just as effective with the right approach. Focus on how you feel rather than just the scale, and celebrate non-scale victories like improved energy, better sleep, or reduced joint pain.
