 People have many different reasons for wanting to lose weight. It might be how their body feels, how they feel about their appearance, or concerns for their health.

Drs. Thom and Alicia Rogers have many years experience helping their patients attain better body composition and weight loss. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR WEIGHT LOSS DEPENDING ON WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU. 

Altering body composition differs from weight loss:

Body composition is the ratio of the body’s lean tissue (muscle, bone, ligament, etc.) to the amount of fat.   A good ratio of lean tissue to fat leads to a healthy metabolism, decreased inflammation and helps the person feel more energetic and alive.

In weight loss programs, it’s very important not to sacrifice lean tissue for weight loss. What is optimal is to lose fat and maintain or build more lean body tissue. This actually makes the body more efficient at using energy because muscle burns more fuel. And belly fat, in particular, has been associated with insulin resistance, which starts a vicious cycle of energy inefficiency…fatigue, increased hunger and tendency to gain more weight.

Treatment:

The foundation of our weight loss programs is identifying underlying issues that may be affecting the metabolism:

• Stress
• Unbalanced hormones
• Food allergies and sensitivities
• Emotional eating patterns
• Unbalanced gut flora
• Toxicity
• Poor digestive function
• Lack of exercise

We work with you address the underlying factors of a slow metabolism and then we have specific programs that really work to change body composition and lose weight.
