About Profile by Sanford - Cleveland, OH - Fairview Park
Profile by Sanford in Fairview Park offers a science-based approach to weight loss that goes beyond traditional diet programs. Our clinic combines genetic testing, personalized nutrition planning, and ongoing coaching to create sustainable weight management solutions tailored to each individual's unique metabolic profile.
As part of the nationally recognized Sanford Health network, we bring evidence-based weight loss strategies to the Cleveland area. Our program focuses on understanding your genetic predispositions, food sensitivities, and metabolic factors to create a truly personalized approach. We believe lasting weight loss comes from understanding how your body responds to different foods, exercise types, and lifestyle factors.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive services begin with genetic testing that analyzes how your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and responds to different types of exercise. We provide detailed nutritional counseling based on these genetic insights, creating meal plans that work with your body's natural tendencies rather than against them. Our registered dietitians offer ongoing support through regular check-ins, menu planning, and recipe modifications. We also provide fitness coaching tailored to your genetic exercise response profile, helping you choose workouts that will be most effective for your body type. Behavioral coaching is integrated throughout the program, addressing emotional eating patterns, stress management, and habit formation. Our program includes access to a mobile app for tracking progress, logging meals, and communicating with your care team. We also offer group classes and workshops on topics like meal prep, grocery shopping strategies, and dining out guidelines.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment including genetic testing, body composition analysis, and detailed health and diet history. The genetic test analyzes genes related to metabolism, nutrient processing, and exercise response. Results are typically available within 2-3 weeks, after which you'll meet with a registered dietitian to review findings and create your personalized plan.
Your plan includes specific macronutrient targets, food recommendations, exercise guidelines, and behavioral strategies based on your genetic profile. Regular coaching sessions help you implement changes gradually and address challenges as they arise. We typically schedule weekly check-ins initially, then bi-weekly as you progress and gain confidence with your new habits.
Why Choose Profile by Sanford - Cleveland, OH - Fairview Park
What sets us apart is our use of genetic testing to truly personalize your weight loss approach. Instead of following generic diet trends, you'll understand exactly how your body processes different nutrients and responds to various exercise types. This scientific foundation eliminates much of the guesswork and frustration common in traditional weight loss programs.
Our connection to Sanford Health provides access to advanced research and protocols developed by leading obesity medicine specialists. We combine this expertise with personalized coaching that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of weight management. Many clients find our approach liberating because they finally understand why previous efforts may have failed and have a clear roadmap for success based on their unique genetic makeup.
Insurance & Pricing
Our program operates primarily on a cash-pay basis, though we may be able to bill insurance for certain covered services like nutritional counseling for medical conditions. The comprehensive program including genetic testing, personalized meal planning, and ongoing coaching is typically not covered by insurance plans. We offer flexible payment options and package pricing to make our services accessible. Initial genetic testing and consultation packages start around $400, with ongoing monthly coaching programs ranging from $150-300 depending on the level of support desired.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before starting the program, consider keeping a food diary for a week to help your dietitian understand your current eating patterns. There's no need for special preparation for genetic testing - it's just a simple cheek swab. Come to your initial appointment with questions about your weight loss history and goals.
Once you receive your genetic results and personalized plan, start implementing changes gradually. Don't try to overhaul everything at once. Use the mobile app consistently to track your progress and communicate with your care team. Attend the group workshops when possible - many clients find peer support valuable. Remember that understanding your genetics doesn't mean instant results, but it does provide a roadmap for more effective and sustainable weight loss.
