Weight loss counseling focuses on setting small, realistic goals for your nutritional intake and health-conscious behaviors that, over time, lead to lasting changes and a lifestyle that becomes second nature. Weight maintenance involves adding fun physical activities to this improved lifestyle.
Contrary to popular belief, excess weight has nothing to do with willpower! Over time, our environment and exposure to ultra-processed foods cause dysregulation of our body, which begins to defend unhealthy weight. Our team focuses on making sustainable changes to counteract this dysregulation and decrease factors that promote inflammation in the body.
We work to help you succeed in both weight loss and weight maintenance so you can stay on track no matter what life brings your way. Our goal is to help you recognize and incorporate effective patterns of thinking, behavior, and lifestyle habits in order to help you succeed.
As a patient, rest assured that you will always be in the driver’s seat, accumulating positive changes in your relationship with food and physical activity at a pace that works for you. We understand that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and respect that everyone has a different timeline to achieve their goal weight. In other words, we will support you every step of the way.
We will work closely with you to develop an individualized program that addresses every aspect of your daily routine.
Nutritional counseling involves learning to make healthier food choices based on your specific health conditions and weight loss goals. At Apex Weight Solutions, we will create a personalized plan designed exclusively for you.
Your nutrition plays a crucial role in your weight loss journey.
Our approach to devising a nutritional plan takes into account your food preferences, mealtimes, as well as occasions when you may dine with family and friends.
We understand that modifying your food intake in order to achieve your desired weight loss may take some time. We are committed to helping you reach your optimal nutritional intake through meal planning, nutritional supplements, and short-term meal supplement plans.
Behavioral counseling focuses on helping you adopt a healthy mindset that aligns with your weight loss goals. When combined with nutritional guidance and prescription medications, it can optimize your chance of achieving and sustaining long-term weight loss.
Behavioral counseling is akin to the interest that accrues on your 401K.
Just like small, regular contributions to your retirement fund can grow over time, small changes in your daily habits can lead to significant improvements in your health routine over time.
We recognize that successful weight loss efforts can take time. At Apex Weight Solutions, we offer lifelong behavioral counseling as part of our comprehensive weight loss program. Our approach is designed to address weight loss in a healthy and effective manner, helping you achieve and maintain a healthy weight for the long term.
Physical activity counseling offers guidance on how to incorporate a sustainable physical activity routine into your current lifestyle. We consider your current activity levels, physical limitations, and safety considerations to help you set realistic and achievable goals.
It is important to remember that physical activity is not necessarily synonymous with having a gym membership. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) refers to the energy you expend doing everyday activities, such as walking your dog or going to the grocery store.
Since these activities are already part of your routine, optimizing your NEAT can contribute to more movement during the day. And making it enjoyable can encourage you to make it a lifelong habit.
Combining structured physical activity with optimal nutritional intake and prescription medications increases the likelihood of maintaining a healthy weight in the long run.
Having the right support and guidance can make all the difference in reaching your weight loss goals. With each incremental step towards your new lifestyle, you can achieve your weight loss goals in a healthy and manageable way.
At Apex Weight Solutions, our team offers comprehensive counseling sessions to help you achieve your goals.
