Weight Loss

​

Obesity has become one of the most serious healthcare threats facing our nation.  As anyone struggling with this medical condition knows, obesity is highly resistant to conventional treatments such as dieting, appetite suppressants, or so called “fat blocker” medicines.

 

The integrative approach to obesity provided by functional medicine offers the most successful model for weight loss and long-term maintenance.  There is typically a metabolic reason that must be addressed in order for you to reach your ideal weight.

 

Using the analytical and diagnostic framework provided by a functional medicine approach, Dr. Bohn will first perform bioimpedence analysis (BIA). This simple procedure only takes a few minutes to measure your percentage of lean body mass versus fat mass and provides a snapshot of your health status.

 

After assessing your body composition, Dr. Bohn will identify the root cause of your weight problem and create an integrated treatment plan using a variety of strategies to help you lose weight.  You receive instruction on healthy dietary practices, which, if followed, will naturally lead to substantial fat loss per week until your body stabilizes at the ideal weight.

Of course, after the desired fat loss is achieved, it is essential that you adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to keep the fat off. Dr. Bohn will work with you to help you adopt this healthy eating and living program.

Dr. Bohn uses Power Plates vibration devices to harness the body’s natural response to vibration. The vibrations it creates stimulate muscle contractions which help increase metabolic rate to expedite weight loss.
