Do you feel stressed from work, school, peer pressure, or family relationships?
Your busy schedule may lead you to skip breakfast, buy lunch from vending machines, and grab whatever is in the refrigerator for dinner when you get home.

Where is the time to think about your health?
Healthy behaviors such as nutritious eating and physical activity may help you meet the challenges of your life. In fact, healthy eating and regular exercise will only increase your energy levels, enhance your learning abilities, and help you stay alert at work and with your family. These healthy habits may also lower your risk for several metabolic diseases.

Weight and Obesity-induced medical problems:

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Osteoarthritis
• High cholesterol
• Asthma
• Fatty liver
• Sleep apnea
• Certain types of cancers

Being overweight or obese can also significantly impact your quality of life…

• Fatigue
• Short of breath
• Edema or leg swelling
• Joint and back pain
• Fear of social embarrassment

If you are bothered by any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with our Valens physician about how Better Nutrition and a Targeted Treatment for your weight may help.

At Valens Medical, your health is our cause. We have designed a medically-supervised weight management program to help you improve your health—now and for years to come. We first individualize your program based on your specific metabolic profile to achieve safe and rapid weight loss. By paying attention to details of your dietary macronutrients and lab profile, the focus is not just on losing weight – but with specific goal of optimizing fat burn while minimizing loss of lean muscle mass. Losing excessive weight around your waist and hips (visceral obesity) not only will allow you to look more lean faster. It is vital for reducing your risks for cardiac and metabolic disease. This is the fat loss program that will change your life.

Our program has these basic elements to help you succeed:

• Medical Supervision to ensure your safety and reaching your weight loss goal.
• Behavioral modification and skills to change your lifestyle and sustain your weight loss.
• Frozen entrees and Meal replacements, for your convenience, to reduce your weight and improve your overall health
• Learning the best types of exercises and activities to keep the weight off for life.

Here's how we can help:

(1) Making healthy choices every day
The ability to make healthy choices on a daily basis takes more than knowing that an apple is a better snack than a cookie. It's a learned skill. We can provide you the tools needed to build healthy daily habits and deal with challenging situations in a positive way so that you can keepyour weight off. Our program is based on the principles of nutrition/diet modification to help you lose the excess fat weight. We'll work with you on skills such as setting realistic goals, designing action plans, self-monitoring, and problem solving. We teach you everything from how to read a food label to good versus bad fats. We even take small groups to the supermarket once a month to teach you how to shop. Our commitment to helping you lose weight fast and safe is the cornerstone of our company.

It's hard to make ongoing changes to your lifestyle when you don't see the rewards of weight loss. Thus, while you’re learning new skills and forging better dietary habits, you will use our great meal replacements to help take the weight off rapidly and safely. Seeing results can keep you motivated while you begin to make long-term diet and physical activity changes.

(2) Reaching your goal weight and keeping the fat weight off
Our program is based on the idea that you need to make long-term changes to your diet and activity level in order to maintain a healthy weight. The skills you'll develop in the first part of the program will help you create healthy habits that will last a lifetime, and we've structured the program to support you on an ongoing basis.

Our program is designed to help you lose the weight fast and effectively. Our goal is to teach you the skills on how to make consistent progress by meeting weekly with our medical team. For the first part of the program, you'll attend weekly appointments with one of our highly-trained physician nutrition specialists along with weekly visits with one of our registered dietitians. We will also work closely with your other doctors to update them on your progress. For instance, if you are on a blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes medication, you may no longer need the medication following weight loss.

Once you are close to reaching your goal weight, to make the program as convenient as possible for you, you will have bi-weekly appointments where the focus is shifted to learning proper portion sizing and how to make great food choices at home. Remember, by keeping your weight off, good health improves your quality of life. You will have more energy to play with your kids and grandkids, hit the town with your partner, or have fun with your friends. You may be able to sit more comfortably in an armchair or airplane seat, go on a hike, and feel better about the way you look.

(3) Disease Specific Nutrition Thereapy
If you are normal weight but have medical problems which may benefit from one-on-one nutrition therapy, the doctors at Valens Medical can also work with you to customize a dietary plan to meet your needs. We have worked with patients with a history of fatty liver disease, diabetes, cholesterol disorders, PCOS, inflammatory bowel disease, and eating disorders (click here for complete list).
