Our program is built on decades of research from Sanford Health, one of the nation's largest healthcare systems, ensuring that your weight loss plan is grounded in medical evidence and proven strategies.

We understand that successful weight loss isn't about quick fixes or fad diets - it's about creating sustainable lifestyle changes that work with your body's natural processes.

Each client receives personalized attention and ongoing support to ensure long-term success.

What to Expect

Your Profile journey begins with a comprehensive consultation including metabolic testing, health history review, and goal setting. We analyze your unique metabolic profile to determine the optimal calorie and macronutrient targets for your weight loss goals. Based on this information, we create a personalized meal plan and provide you with specially formulated Profile foods designed to support fat burning.

Throughout the program, you'll meet weekly with your certified coach to review progress, address challenges, and make any necessary adjustments to your plan. We track multiple metrics including weight, body measurements, and body composition to give you a complete picture of your progress. As you near your goal weight, we transition you to a maintenance phase where you gradually incorporate more regular foods while maintaining the healthy habits you've developed. Our long-term support helps ensure you keep the weight off permanently.

Insurance & Pricing

Profile by Sanford is a self-pay program, though some health savings accounts (HSA) and flexible spending accounts (FSA) may cover the cost. Our program fees include all coaching sessions, metabolic testing, meal planning, and ongoing support throughout your weight loss journey. We offer various package options to accommodate different budgets and weight loss goals.

While the initial investment may seem significant, many clients find the cost comparable to what they were spending on groceries and dining out, with the added benefits of convenience, portion control, and professional coaching. We provide detailed pricing information during your consultation and offer payment plans to make the program more accessible.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before starting the Profile program, be prepared to make a commitment to following the plan consistently for best results. Clear your schedule for your initial consultation, which typically takes 60-90 minutes. Begin thinking about your weight loss goals and any challenges you've faced with previous attempts, as this information helps us customize your approach.

During the program, attend all scheduled coaching sessions and be honest about any struggles or deviations from your plan. Stay consistent with the recommended meal timing and food choices, as the program is designed to work synergistically. Drink plenty of water, get adequate sleep, and incorporate light physical activity as recommended. Keep track of non-scale victories like increased energy, better sleep, and improved mood. Prepare for the transition phase by gradually learning to make healthy food choices that align with what you've learned about proper nutrition and portion control.
