Functional Weight Loss
​
​
​
​
For my entire career of more than forty years, I have been aware of the need for an effective, long-lasting weight loss program that didn't require stimulants, hormone injections, starvation, or excessive exercise. About nine months ago, I was introduced to a program that sounded feasible but also and more importantly, was aimed at addressing the causes of weight gain, namely: inflammation and hormonal imbalance.
​
The foundation of the program entails detoxing from the various toxins we are exposed to everyday that result in cellular inflammation. By decreasing or eliminating inflammation, hormones are re-balanced, and metabolism is reset.
​
Removing toxins, decreasing inflammation, and resetting metabolism is achieved in several ways with this program:
- a modified intermittent fasting schedule
- a restricted diet similar to the elimination diet
- the inclusion and use of several all-natural, liquid supplements.
​
It does not include:
- starvation
- counting calories
- the need to purchase shakes, bars, or other pre-packed foods
- stimulants
- hormone injections
- excessive exercise
​
The company that supplies these supplements is based out of Seattle Washington and is called New Wave. In the years they have offered this program, they boast a 98% success rate (defined as the participant meeting their target weight loss goal) treating over 30,000 patients who have lost a total of over 1,300,000 pounds!
​
HOW IT WORKS AND WHATS INCLUDED
The logistics of this program that results in such a high success rate include:
1. Scientifically designed program that targets weight loss resistance effectively
2. A program that only lasts 63 days, parsed into four phases:
I. Loading Phase (2 days)
II. Fat Loss Phase (42 days)
III. Maintenance Phase (21 days)
IV. Post Program Phase
3. All natural, organic, liquid supplements that augment dietary measures
4. A thorough orientation
5. Effective resources that provide clear direction and rationale for how the program works
7. Access to a Health Coach that is only an email away to problem solve issues, reiterate logistics, and encourage participants
5. A unique and convenient APP that tracks progress, monitored by the Health Coach to intervene quickly if a plateau is
