Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is metabolic testing and why do I need it?

Metabolic testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest and how efficiently you process nutrients. This information helps us create meal plans that work with your unique metabolism rather than using generic calorie recommendations.

How is your approach different from commercial weight loss programs?

We use scientific testing to understand your individual metabolism and create personalized plans based on your body's specific needs. This targeted approach is more effective than one-size-fits-all commercial programs.

Will I have to follow a restrictive diet?

Not at all! We focus on creating sustainable eating plans that include foods you enjoy while meeting your metabolic needs. The goal is lifestyle change, not deprivation.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies by individual, but most clients lose 1-3 pounds per week safely. We focus on fat loss while preserving muscle mass for better long-term results.

Do you work with people who have medical conditions?

Yes, we frequently work with clients who have diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and other conditions that affect metabolism. We coordinate with your healthcare providers when necessary.

What if I've tried everything and nothing works?

Many of our most successful clients have failed with other programs. Our metabolic testing often reveals why previous attempts didn't work and helps us create strategies that will.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, we recommend weekly visits for monitoring and support. As you progress, appointments may become bi-weekly or monthly based on your needs and confidence level.

Do you provide meal plans and recipes?

Yes, we create detailed meal plans with recipes and shopping lists tailored to your preferences, schedule, and metabolic needs. We also teach meal prep strategies for busy lifestyles.
