The Key to Healthy Weight: Understanding your Metabolism

By Integrative Health and Wellbeing

Thursday, July 17, 2025 4pm to 5pm

+ 2 dates

Are you tired of trying different diets and not getting sustainable results? What works for one person does not always work for someone else--that's because we all 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 come with 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 information will help you understand how your metabolism is functioning right now and will help you 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 a one-month supply if your insurance does not cover them.
