Weight Loss Program

Believe it or not, most of our patients start their weight loss journey because they want a better quality of life; not just because they want to change a number on the scale. In fact, most people who are interested in our weight loss program are motivated by results that let them:

• Have more energy and breathe easier
• Stop relying on medications for diabetes, hypertension/high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and more
• Run around and play with their kids or grandkids again
• Soften the pressure on joints for easier movement
• Sleep better and wake up feeling more rested
• Gain back confidence to fall in love with themselves again

If you are like many of our patients, you’ve tried losing weight in the past. We understand how frustrating and discouraging the process can be if you don’t get and/or able to maintain the results you expected. Thus our Weight Loss Program at Your Wellness Center in Cincinnati is here to change your thoughts around the numbers on the scale and create a sustainable lifestyle that improves your quality of life beyond the program.

Additional Costs (Products & Supplements)

For the first few weeks of our weight loss program, most patients utilize our New Direction Advanced meal replacements. They are designed to promote optimal metabolism for active weight loss, providing 100% of the nutrients you need, so you still feel full and satisfied! New Direction MR’s are purchased as a box of 7 meals (each box is $35). In the beginning, the average cost per week is approximately $150-125/week. This cost will start to decrease as you transition back to whole foods.

Additional supplements may be recommended at minimal cost such as DHEA, Vitamin D, or Thyroid. Some patients may also choose to enroll in our Hormone Therapy program with Testosterone, Progesterone, and/or Estrogen, which come with their own associated costs.

LifeStyle Focused

Your journey isn’t defined by a number on a scale, nor is it a diet that you’ll toss to the side after the program ends. We will work together to develop an individualized plan to help you reach your goals and create a sustainable lifestyle. Whether you want to run around with your grandkids or feel empowered and prepared as a person who travels for work, we work to guide you through the development of a program designed around your individual needs, medical history, daily routines, professional obligations, and personal goals

Hormone Optimization

Research has found that low (non-optimized) hormone levels, specifically testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen directly impact energy, muscle and fat mass, metabolism, libido, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and development of illness. While not required, some patients at Your Wellness Center choose to pursue more comprehensive bloodwork for our programs. By investigating possible hormonal and metabolic limitations that may be inhibiting your ability to lose weight, we are able to bring your body and health back into balance.

YWC Providers, “We often find many patients have undiagnosed thyroid, testosterone, progesterone or estrogen conditions that prevent their bodies from functioning at an optimal level”.

Accountability and Supervision

We have found the best way to help patient succeed in our program is by providing them with accountability:

• With the majority of patients located in Cincinnati, coming in for bi-weekly visits with our dietitian helps to ensure you stay motivated and on track with the program
• Patients are encouraged to keep a detailed food log which is reviewed during the visits
• Weigh-Ins will be completed on our BIA scale to review your body composition (body fat, water weight, muscle mass)

Nutritional Guidance

Over the course of the program, you’ll gain an understanding of what the meal should look like in terms of macronutrients, portion control, and appropriate timing of the meal.

As you progress, you’ll incorporate traditional menu planning, grocery shopping, and cooking that aims to provide steady weight loss or help maintain ideal levels. Once you feel comfortable, confident, and in control of your meals, you’ll graduate to the “maintenance” phase. At this point, you will have completely worked whole food meals back into your daily nutritional regime and will understand what your unique daily nutritional needs are in order to remain at your goal weight or to continue your weight loss journey.
