Over nearly three decades, I’ve helped thousands of adults lose weight and get fit… even if they have orthopedic injuries, medical limitations or simply haven’t succeeded with anything else.

If you’re over 45 and are looking to improve all aspects of your health, join me for a Private Fitness & Fat Loss Consultation:

Who is this for?

• Individuals age 45-75

• You exercise, eat right and stay active – but are still frustrated with the lack of results….

• You’ve tried or are thinking of trying Ozempic, Wegovy or any other GLP-1 drug for weight loss….

• You feel as though no matter what you try, you just can’t seem to improve your size or weight….

• You are eating better now than ever before but your size keeps increasing and your health keeps decreasing….

• You’ve joined a gym, bought home fitness equipment or have a Fitbit but still struggle with lasting success…..

• Your body image and weight are making you self-conscious, have low self-esteem and prevent you from enjoying aspects of life.

• Your doctor has warned you that you are on the wrong path and need to begin improving your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and more or suffer the consequences…

• You’re not exercising at all

• You’re exercising occasionally

 

Do I Need To Take Ozempic, Wegovy, Semaglutide or other Dangerous GLP-1 Medications?

The pharmaceutical drug companies would love you to do so.  However, the downsides are severe.

Here’s a summary of the key side effects to be aware of:

• Gastrointestinal Issues: The most commonly reported side effects are related to the digestive system, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. These issues are primarily due to the drug’s mechanism of delaying gastric emptying, which can also lead to reduced appetite and weight loss.
• Possible Thyroid Tumors: There’s a potential risk for thyroid tumors, including cancer. It’s advised to monitor for symptoms such as a lump or swelling in the neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath.
• Pancreatitis and Gallbladder Problems: The drug may cause inflammation of the pancreas or gallbladder issues. Symptoms to watch for include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, jaundice, or clay-colored stools.
• Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): When combined with other diabetes medications, there’s an increased risk of hypoglycemia. Symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, sweating, confusion, and shakiness.
• Kidney Problems: Dehydration from gastrointestinal side effects can exacerbate kidney problems.
• Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis): A rare but severe side effect is gastroparesis, where the stomach empties more slowly or stops. This can lead to bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
• Ileus (Temporary Intestinal Paralysis): Another rare gastrointestinal side effect is ileus, a condition where muscle contractions that move food through the intestines are temporarily paralyzed.
• Hair Loss: Some users have reported hair loss, which, while not directly a chemical effect of the drug, is often associated with rapid weight loss.
• Fatigue: Reports indicate that Ozempic can cause fatigue, a sense of tiredness not relieved by rest.
• Suicidal Ideation: The European Medicines Agency has received at least 150 reports of people suffering suicidal thoughts while taking Ozempic.

These types of medications should be considered only in the most severe cases and under certain restrictive conditions.

I’m here to help….

Benefits:

The majority of my clientele is between 45-75 years of age.  They are well-intended individuals whose health and fitness are important to them. 

1. Decreased Medication Use – Many are looking to decrease or eliminate medications: blood pressure, thyroid, diabetes (blood sugar), cholesterol, Semaglutide (Ozempic) pain and anxiety

2. Improving Orthopedic Issues – We work to improve, shoulders, hips, knees, back, neck or other orthopedic conditions that are either painful or weak.

3. Dropping Body Fat – Whether you are looking to lose 50-pounds or more or the last 5-lbs of stubborn fat, it is important to you.  Dropping body fat helps to improve energy, blood pressure, blood glucose, health and self-esteem. 

“What If I Have Medical Conditions?”

• Orthopedic pain or injury to your shoulders, hips, back, knees

  Doing nothing will lead to weakened muscles without improvement and doing the wrong program will cause pain and injury. I will design a program around physical therapy principles of strengthening imbalances to restore orthopedic health while working the surrounding muscles to improve metabolism and fat burning.

• High blood pressure

  There are approximately 200 to 300 billion fat cells in the average adult. Each of these cells requires a blood supply and increased pressure for proper functioning. Consequently, as body fat decreases, the number of cells requiring blood supply and pressure will diminish accordingly.

• Diabetes

  Reducing body fat, adopting a lower glycemic index diet, and engaging in regular exercise play pivotal roles in the prevention and management of diabetes. Lowering body fat reduces insulin resistance, making it easier for cells to utilize glucose effectively. A lower glycemic index diet helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing spikes and crashes. Regular exercise not only aids in weight management but also enhances insulin sensitivity, allowing cells to absorb glucose efficiently. By combining these lifestyle changes, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes and, for those with the condition, better control their blood sugar levels, potentially leading to its elimination or better management.

• Heart disease

  Targeting a reduction in body fat, lowering triglyceride levels, and mitigating diabetes risk emerges as a potent strategy in the battle against heart disease. Shedding excess body fat not only aids in achieving a healthier weight but also contributes to better blood pressure control, thereby bolstering heart health. 

• Hypothyroidism

  Managing hypothyroidism encompasses a multifaceted approach, crucial in dispelling common misconceptions. While many individuals erroneously attribute weight gain to thyroid issues, it’s often the other way around—excessive fat accumulation can contribute to the development of hypothyroidism. Hence, addressing body fat levels becomes paramount in supporting thyroid health

• Or others

  These questions and concerns will be handled with individual recommendations.

  including Acid Reflux Disease, Cholesterol Disorder, Low Bone Density and elevated C-reactive protein – There is a plan for you.

“What If I’ve Never Had Long-Term Success?”

• Are you frustrated with yo-yo dieting?

• Are you worried that you’ll need to starve to lose any weight?

• Are you concerned with your lack of willpower to achieve long-term success?

I understand and you’re not alone.

I can promise that if you follow the right diet, you can eat more calories than you’ve ever thought possible.

Furthermore, nothing is off-limits.

There is a time and place for everything, including pizza, ice cream, and desserts!

We’re going to look at nutrition differently.

It’s not a calories in – calories out game.

That doesn’t work.

I look forward to sharing the analysis and recommendations with you soon!

Why Isn’t This The Standard?

• InBody Scans:

  There are several reasons why most weight loss programs do not typically offer InBody scans as part of their standard services

•  Cost:

  Scans are expensive, which may make them an obstacle for many weight loss programs that don’t have this resource available to them.

•  Focus on Behavior and Lifestyle:

  Many fitness programs primarily focus on exercise and do not focus on promoting behavior and lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications and accountability.

• Professional Guidance:

  Fitness programs are generally overseen by trained professionals who provide guidance considering various factors like dietary habits, exercise routines, medical history, and individual objectives. These experts might not always consider scans a critical element in their clients’ fitness journeys.
