We aim to support you in any way we can. This DYNAMIC program has varied levels of support and pricing is listed at the end of this document.

A fasting lab panel will be required and included in the FULL SUPPORT program cost: CBC, CMP, Insulin, A1C, Lipid Panel, TSH at start and every 6 months. WHAT TO EAT: We recommend various healthy eating plans focused on whole foods, colorful vegetables, lean meats, and minimally processed foods. Aim for a sustainable eating plan and we support intermittent fasting for its beneficial immunological effects. In the starting months, we encourage whole, non-processed foods 90% of the time. This begins the “listen to your body” phase. Our goal is to teach you to utilize food to fuel and nourish your body in a sustainable way, an eating pattern that can be sustainable for life. In months 2 or 3, we recommend a full elimination diet for 5 weeks to take a deep dive into gut health as a functional approach. This process takes roughly 8-10 weeks and you are automatically scheduled for a check-in with your provider following this phase to review the challenge. We can also approach more intensive gut, thyroid, and hormone optimization via our Comprehensive Integrative Care Program if indicated. As we learn more about you, we may suggest different healthy eating plans to align with your personalized health needs. For resources, Nourishingmeals.com offers research-backed eating plans, including those from the Institute for Functional Medicine, complete with recipes and meal-planning tools. If you need help customizing your eating plan, just ask! Don't forget to use their free 2-week trial and try it out in month 2 with your elimination diet challenge! GET MOVING PLAN: Follow a chosen activity plan or just aim for increased healthy movement daily, start with 10 min, and move up by 10 min per week to tolerance. We may require a medical clearance for increasing physical activity on a case-by-case basis. We encourage finding a physical activity that is fun starting out, making it something you look forward to. Body Project members get $5 off classes at FIT Studio. SKINNY SHOT (LIPOTROPIC INJECTION): The SKINNY Shot combines methionine, inositol, and choline to help convert fat into energy while also reducing appetite and supporting muscle building and immune health. HEALTH COACHING: If you struggle to make sustained changes or organize steps for successful health please consider additional support from our Functional Medicine trained Health Coach Monica Sivertson RMT, FMCHC . Her specialty is assisting you to make successful life changes to optimize your lifestyle for success. These can be scheduled at any point.

GLP PEPTIDES: are a breakthrough treatment for people who struggle with serious, chronic weight management challenges. First isolated as an effective diabetes drug, this insulin-boosting medication is now available to patients who need to lose a significant amount of weight consistently and achieve results long-term. This treatment method doesn’t rely on stimulants, harmful crash diets, unsustainable exercise plans, or any other mechanism that can jeopardize the patient’s overall health. What are GLP-1 Peptides? GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a naturally occurring peptide hormone produced in the intestines. It plays a crucial role in regulating appetite, glucose metabolism, and insulin secretion. As we recognize the potential benefits of GLP-1 peptides for weight loss and overall health, understanding how they work is essential. Key Benefits of GLP-1 Peptides: 1. Weight Loss: - GLP-1 peptides help to promote weight loss by enhancing feelings of satiety. They signal the brain to reduce appetite, leading to decreased food intake. - They slow gastric emptying, meaning that food stays in the stomach longer, prolonging feelings of fullness. 2. Blood Sugar Regulation: - GLP-1 peptides stimulate insulin secretion in response to meals, which helps lower blood sugar levels post-eating. - They inhibit glucagon secretion, further assisting in glucose regulation and reducing the risk of hyperglycemia. 3. Improved Metabolism: - By enhancing insulin sensitivity and promoting glucose uptake by muscles, GLP-1 peptides support a healthier metabolism and energy balance. 4. Cardiovascular Health: - Studies suggest GLP-1 peptides may offer cardiovascular protection by improving blood pressure, and cholesterol, and - Beyond weight management, GLP-1 peptides have demonstrated therapeutic potential in various conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and certain gastrointestinal disorders, by promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation. 6. Natural and Biocompatible: - As a natural peptide produced within our bodies, GLP-1 is biocompatible and offers a favorable safety profile when managed correctly. Importance of Professional Management: Harnessing the benefits of GLP-1 peptides requires guidance from an educated healthcare provider. Personalized management involving proper dosing, monitoring, and addressing individual health needs is essential for achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects. In summary, GLP-1 peptides represent a powerful tool in promoting weight loss and enhancing overall health through their effects on appetite regulation, glucose metabolism, and potential protective benefits for various bodily systems. With professional supervision, they can be effectively integrated into a comprehensive health and wellness strategy. You don't have to struggle with the cycle of weight loss and gain or feel hopeless about managing serious weight issues through diet and exercise alone. Many people worldwide use modern medicine to maintain their health, and it's time to eliminate the stigma around seeking medical help for weight management. While your commitment to a healthy lifestyle is essential for sustainable weight management, injectable GLP peptides can be a valuable tool if chosen. With weekly injections, you can reach and maintain your ideal body weight for life. promoting overall heart health. 5. Potential Healing Powers:
