Wellness and Anti-Aging Programs

The Med-Health 360 Prescription

Introduction

There is no single factor that causes you to gain weight as you get older and there is no shortage of people selling their newest diet programs.   While it is “convenient” to attribute  weight gain in some people to over-eating, it is more likely that your weight gain is more attributable to education of what kinds of foods are healthy, how your hormones are changing with age, how you you can exercise to increase your metabolism.  In short, weight gain is multifactorial. The Med-Health 360 prescription for health helps you lose weight and increase your energy by creating a personalized plan that will target each of these factors. 

Factors That Contribute to Weight Gain

  • Poor nutritional education
  • Alteration in hormone balance
  • Insulin resistance
  • Slowing metabolism
  • Loss of mobility
  • Elevated stress and cortisol level

Programs Individualized To Your Needs

Most weight loss programs target nutritional education and try to sell you foods.  We know that there is more to weight loss than eating less. Our programs are not only individualized to your needs.  Specifically, we create a program that targets your lifestyle, nutritional education, hormone balance, metabolism, and mobility.  We are in the business of wellness.  We are not in the business of selling your foods.

Your body uses hormones as signal modulators that tell your organs to behave in certain ways.  For example, estrogen is the principle female sex organ that modulates the function of breast, ovarian, brain, vaginal lucrication cells and sexuality;

Nutritional Education

In our experience, most patients are simply confused about what exactly is a good and or healthy diet to achieve a healthy weight and a long life.  There is so much misinformation out there that it becomes hard to educate yourself about what entails a healthy diet.  It wasn’t too long ago that the government endorsed a high carbohydrate diet.  More recently, meat-based diets such as the Atkins diet was popular; this was followed shortly by the the South Beach Diet and the Mediterranean Diets.  

The Med-Health Prescription:

  • Modified keto diet
  • Intermittent fasting
  • Abundant fruits and vegetables
  • Lean protein and healthy fats
  • Nutritional supplements to encourage fat burning
  • Elimination of most processed sugars and carbohydrates

Supplemental Prescription

  • Weekly Coaching
  • Metabolic testing and body composition analysis
  • Exercise Programs and boot camps
  • Hormone testing for insulin resistance and cortisol levels
 At Med-Health 360,  we believe that many diets have failed in the past because of their emphasis on calorie restrictions while at the same time failed to discourage lifestyle changes and the intake of processed sugars and carbohydrates.   Our recipe for success emphasizes the fat burning benefits of a modified keto diet while reducing your insulin resistance through intermittent fasting and increasing your metabolism through exercise. 
Personalized Weight Loss Coaching

When you sign up for your weight loss program, you will be assigned a Nutritional Coach and Cheerleader who will help you through your weight loss journey.  They are an integral part of our team to help you with education, questions, testing, and accountability

Nutritional Coaches are Integral to your Weight Loss Journey

  • Educate you about the program
  • Discuss the initial lab work and metabolic testing results
  • Meet with you weekly to assess progress
  • Answer any questions during the week
  • Cheer you on to success
Weekly Check-in

Maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t come naturally to most patients.  Healthy living is a combination of many lifestyle habits that many people never learned.  Weekly check-ins are an integral part of establishing accountability and obtaining feedback for for your new lifestyle habits.  

Nutritional and Metabolic Assessment

Your  journey will begin with a comprehensive body composition analysis and metabolic test that will establish your baseline metabolism and fat composition. The analysis helps us personalize the program to your needs and follow your progress through the program.

Body Composition Analysis and Metabolic Testing

  • Decrease proportion of fat over time
  • Increase  your proportion of muscle over time
  • Increase your metabolic rate over time
  • Provide weekly feedback to help you achieve your goals
Restore Hormonal Balance

Hormones play a huge role in how your body regulates your weight.  Most patient will lose the ability to properly regulate their estrogen, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid levels as they age.  Even young patients might struggle with how their bodies regulate their hormones.  

Hormone Testing and Nutritional Lab Studies

    • Check for insulin resistance ( the main cause of weight gain )
    • Check increased cortisol levels ( seen with many medical conditions but also with high stress )
    • Check for low thyroid ( a frequent cause of decreased metabolism and weight gain )
    • Check for diabetes
    • Evaluate electrolytes and biomarkers
Reduce Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance is one of the most important problems when it comes to regulating weight.  Prolonged increases in glucose and insulin levels will eventually lead to insulin resistance and weight gain.  An important method of how to break the cycle of insulin resistance is medically supervised intermittent fasting.  Our coaches will help you learn methods of intermittent fasting while supervising your labs and vitals.

Increase Mobility

Loss or diminished mobility is one of the primary causes of decreasing vitality as well as weight gain with age.  It makes sense that as you become less mobile due to rickety and often painful joint and back pain, your metabolism let alone your zest for life will decrease.  Part of the Med-Health prescription for health believes in optimizing your joint mobility and decreasing joint and back pain through a variety of means, including yoga, exercise, massage, trigger point injections, and shock wave therapy can help you become more active, limber, and pain free.

Decrease Stress and Cortisol Levels

Life in the modern world is increasingly stressful.  Many studies have shown that Americans have become more stressed due to job-related issues, family dynamics, politics, and even social media.  Stress unfortunately increases your cortisol levels.  Cortisol in turn leads to weight retention.  Prolonged stress can even lead to adrenal fatigue.  Part of the Med-Health prescription for health believes in optimizing your ability to decrease stress and improve sleep through a variety of means including exercise, yoga, massage, and supplements such as melatonin and dhea.

Vitamin and Minerals

Most people understand that proper levels of vitamins and minerals are important for proper cellular function.  What most people don’t understand is that our bodies either lose the ability to produce adequate vitamin levels or lose the ability to regulate our vitamin levels properly as we age.  Some examples include Vitamins D and B as well as magnesium.  Their levels are grossly inadequate in a majority of people over 40 years of age.  Proper supplements can help your body function more efficiently and burn energy more efficiently.

Increase Metabolic Rate

Basal metabolic rate decreases dramatically with age.  Many reasons for this are unknown but can be guessed at.  Some of the reasons have already been mentioned, including a natural decrease in exercise and activity as our joints become more stiff and painful.  Many people, suffer from simply becoming busy with life; exercise and fitness are unfortunately set aside.  Part of the Med-Health Prescription for health includes increasing the basal metabolic rate through increased activity and exercise. We provide fitness coaching that concentrate on exercises such as proper circuit training.

Fitness Program and Coaching

Some patients can choose to entire one of our fitness programs.  Our coaches are trained in our program for increasing basal metabolic rate through proper circuit training.  They will not only be coaches to reinforce the right exercises, but they are also your best cheerleaders.  Group classes are available.  Private programs are also available.

 
Yoga Programs

Some patients can choose to enter one of our yoga programs.  Yoga is an integral part of many of our programs include the weight loss and anti-aging programs.  Joint stiffness and back pain lead to diminished activity.   Yoga has been shown to increase the physical mobility of our patients as well as decreasing back and body pain.
