The Key to Healthy Weight: Understanding your Metabolism

By Integrative Health and Wellbeing

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 4pm to 5pm

+ 1 dates

  • Tuesday, May 27, 2025 4pm to 5pm

Are you tired of trying different diets and not getting sustainable results? What works for one person does not work for someone else--that's because we have different metabolisms.

Instead of focusing on calories, different diets, or exercise routines, it is more important to know what your metabolism is doing. Based on that, you can pick the foods that work best for you.

 

During this 4-week journey led by Dr. Chiti Parikh, all participants will wear a continuous glucose monitor to gain better insight into their metabolism. Each week will have specific instructions on using that information while optimizing your diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management routine.

 

This session is a good fit for anyone looking to optimize their weight or address prediabetes or early diabetes.

 

Pre-requisites:

A visit with our clinical team will be scheduled where baseline lab tests, body composition and resting metabolic rate testing will be conducted. This will help you understand how your metabolism is functioning right now and we will be able to track progress over time. 

 

We will also review different glucose monitors and apps that will suit your unique needs. Over the counter glucose monitors cost $89 for 1 month supply if your insurance does not cover them.
