Our weight loss program includes all-natural supplements. Aloe has been shown in studies to help protect the liver, which is the organ that regulates your blood sugar, along with the pancreas. In studies, aloe has shown a stabilization of blood sugar, which is important for weight loss. This was shown in blood tests and decreased fat around the abdomen. It also helps with circulation.

Did you know that all calories are not the same. It’s true–calories from sugary foods and grains are processed quite differently than calories from meats, nuts, fish, eggs, and other protein sources. In fact, sugar and other carbohydrates raise our insulin levels, and insulin tells the body to store calories as fat, and specifically it tells us to store the calories as fat around the middle.

Many people try to lose weight only to put it back on. One thing that they don’t know is that it actually takes 6 months at a new weight for your body to realize that weight as the new set point–the new normal. Our weight loss program includes follow-up visits and suggestions to help clients maintain that weight. After you reach the six month point, you will have a much easier time maintaining that weight for years to come

Even if you were outside a lot in the summer, your vitamin D level may still be low. And unless you take vitamin D in the winter, it could continue the downward spiral. Did you know that vitamin D is washed off with soap? Well, actually, it takes 24-28 hours for your body to convert the cholesterol in your skin (yes, cholesterol!) to the hormone vitamin D. When you wash with soap on the skin that has been exposed to vitamin D, you lose that. I have personally seen landscape workers who had low vitamin D, in the summer no less. So be sure to wash only with water the parts of your body that are exposed to the sun at least for 1-2 days.
