Permanent weight loss takes a commitment by you to want to change your life. At PTHNC we can assist you in this endeavor. We develop nutritional programs that can be incorporated into all lifestyles through food choices, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and hormone balancing.

At Portal To Healing Naturopathic Clinic, we recognize that everyone is on their own path. Some are ready to loose weight quickly and safely, while others are content to know they are making healthy choices and the weight will slowly come down over time. We have designed three different weight loss programs to offer our patients based on your goals, and how quickly you would like to make new changes.

Weight Loss program #1:

This program is designed for those who realize that by “Getting Healthy” they can reduce their overall weight by making better food choices. An assessment of blood type, body composition analysis, food allergies, and laboratory testing will determine the smartest way for you to slowly and steadily lose weight by identifying those foods that cause inflammation and hinder weight loss. Average weight loss on this program is 1 lb every 7-10 days.

Weight Loss program #2:

This program is in between the other two programs. It requires a certain level of discipline to follow this specific food plan for the entire length of time you are working towards your target weight. Testing includes, blood type assessment, body composition analysis and laboratory testing. Specific supplementation is recommended. Average weight loss is 1-2 lbs/week.

This is a program otherwise called Medical Weight Loss, it is the most rapid way to lose a specific amount of weight in a 30 day period. It is also the most intensive. A very specific diet must be followed for the 4 weeks along with injections of HCG, a hormone that women produce during pregnancy. This Hormone when injected assists in releasing adipose tissue that has been stored away and allows the body to use it as energy. Vitamin injections are given to assist with energy and promote fat burning. Following the 4 weeks of injections, you are then transitioned to a stabilization food plan for 3 weeks where additional weight loss continues, to be followed by a maintenance food plan which will allow you to maintain the weight you have lost while eating a healthy, whole food diet. Testing includes; laboratory testing and body composition analysis. Average weight loss on this program is 5 lbs/week.
