Weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We start with a comprehensive nutritional analysis and thorough history to determine the best plan for you. This may include lab tests looking at things like metabolic rate, vitamin B12 and hormones.
Weight loss often is tied to our emotions. Dr. Freeman offers Life Coaching for this critical aspect of changing one's relationship with food. These techniques help with alcohol and other habits, too.
Never get caught up in a fad diet again! No more grueling workouts that provide little (or no) return on investment. Let us show you how much easier it is to lose the weight PERMANENTLY than you think.
Why is it so much harder to lose weight as I get older?
Studies show that adults between the ages of 18 and 49 tend to gain about 1-2 pounds per year. No wonder the pounds add up!
Carrying excess weight increases brain fog, decreases energy levels, diminishes mobility, and raises risk of developing a chronic disease.
Arthritis
Did you know that many people stop having arthritis pain when they reach a healthier weight? Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that causes joints to swell. Carrying excess weight puts pressure on the joints thereby increasing pain + joint stiffness.
Cardiovascular disease
Being at a healthy weight reduces your risk of ever having a heart attack or stroke. These are still the primary killers of humans worldwide.
Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. Dr. Freeman speaks openly about her own sleep apnea. Untreated apnea can cause weight gain, hypertension and daytime fatigue. Excess body weight can put pressure on your airways, which can increase sleep apnea symptoms including snoring.
Infertility
Excess weight can reduce fertility through hormones, ovarian and testicular function.
