Signature Program: Metabolic Makeover
Reverse insulin resistance, reduce cravings, and restart weight loss
If you feel stuck in a cycle of cravings, low energy, and stubborn weight that won’t budge, insulin resistance and blood sugar dysfunction may be the hidden driver. Our Signature Program is designed to break the insulin-driven weight cycle and help your body unlock fat burning again… by stabilizing blood sugar, improving metabolism, and supporting hormones in a practical, sustainable way.
What's Included
You’ll begin with a personalized metabolic assessment to understand your symptoms, history, and patterns… so your plan is built for your body and your lifestyle. From there, you’ll complete a Functional Weight Management Lab Panel that most doctors do not run, designed to identify markers connected to hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and blood sugar dysfunction.
Support is a major part of why this program works. You’ll receive biweekly coaching and guidance via phone/Zoom to help you stay consistent, adjust when life happens, and keep moving forward. You’ll also receive beginner-friendly, follow-along workouts designed by a Certified Personal Trainer to naturally support metabolism and build momentum… without feeling intimidating or extreme.
What Health Changest You'll Experience
Most women notice they feel steadier and more in control before they even see big changes on the scale. As blood sugar stabilizes, you can expect more consistent energy throughout the day, better sleep quality, fewer cravings, and more sustainable fat loss over time. Many women also report improved mood and confidence… because the plan finally feels doable, and their body finally feels responsive.
Program 2: The Gut Reset
Fix inflammation, reduce bloating, and support healthy hormones and metabolism
If you feel inflamed, bloated, “puffy,” or like digestion is constantly off, your gut may be playing a major role in weight loss resistance. Gut health affects metabolism, hormones, inflammation, cravings, and energy. When the gut is out of balance, even the best nutrition plan can feel like it’s not working.
The Gut Reset is a step-by-step program designed to calm inflammation, support a healthier microbiome, and help your body absorb nutrients and regulate hunger signals more effectively. This is not a quick cleanse… it’s a structured reset that focuses on lasting gut repair and metabolic support.
What's Included in our Metabolic and Functional Wellness Services
You’ll start with a gut health evaluation to understand symptoms and identify likely drivers behind bloating, digestive discomfort, cravings, and inflammation. From there, you’ll receive a digestive reset protocol with a step-by-step plan to support a healthier microbiome.
To support the reset, you’ll receive daily supplement guidance designed to Reset, Repair, Rebuild, and rebalance the gut. You’ll also get a 2 week Gut Reset meal plan with recipes, shopping lists, and a complete nutritional breakdown… so you can follow it without guesswork.
What You'll Experience
Women often notice less bloating and better digestion early on… then the deeper benefits follow. Improved nutrient absorption can support steadier energy, clearer skin, and fewer cravings. Over time, when inflammation is reduced and the gut is supported, weight loss often becomes easier… because the body is no longer working against you.
The Data of You
If you aren't measuring, you're guessing.
Traditional lab work is designed to find disease. Our functional metabolic testing is designed to find optimization. By combining deep-dive blood chemistry with medical-grade body composition analysis, we see exactly how your lifestyle, nutrition, and hormones are interacting.
- Beyond the "Normal" Range: We look for optimal biomarkers, identifying shifts in your health years before they become chronic issues.
- The Scale Lies: Weight alone doesn't differentiate between fat, muscle, and water. We track what matters.
- Proving the Progress: We use repeat testing to validate your protocols, ensuring your plan is working as hard as you are.
- Clinical Accountability: Data provides the objective truth that keeps you motivated and your care team precise.
The Two Pillars of Our Diagnostics
1. Advanced Functional Labs
Move beyond the standard CBC. We investigate the metabolic engine.
- Comprehensive Insulin & Glucose: Fasting insulin, HbA1c, and C-peptide to map your insulin sensitivity.
- Advanced Lipid Panels: Looking at particle size and inflammatory markers (hs-CRP) for true heart health.
- Hormone Architecture: A full view of Thyroid, Cortisol, and Sex Hormones to ensure your “chemical messengers” are in sync.
- Nutrient & Gut Markers: Identifying the deficiencies and digestive imbalances that stall your metabolism.
2. InBody® 270 Composition Tracking
The gold standard in bioelectrical impedance analysis.
- Muscle vs. Fat: See exactly how many pounds of skeletal muscle you have and where it’s distributed.
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Knowing exactly how many calories your body burns at rest so we can fuel you accurately.
- Segmental Lean Analysis: Identifying imbalances in the body to optimize strength and functional movement.
The Data of You
Step 1: The Collection
Whether it’s a quick visit to our Mount Pleasant clinic for a blood draw, or a blood spot done at home, we make the data collection seamless.
Step 2: The Deep Dive
Our team of specialists analyze and review your results. We don't just send you a PDF; we translate the numbers into a narrative you can understand.
Step 3: The Pivot
We use your data to "fine-tune" your Metabolic Makeover. If your muscle mass is dipping or your insulin is stubborn, we adjust your protocol in real-time.
Local Precision. Global Insight.
Our Mount Pleasant clinic is equipped with the InBody 270—providing detailed body composition, skeletal muscle mass, Basal Metabolic rate (BMR), and segmental Lean Analysis. For our virtual clients, we coordinate with high-end lab partners to ensure you receive the same level of diagnostic excellence from anywhere.
