The Optimal Health Pursuit Program (OHPP) is a 12 week program primarily focusing on weight loss and detoxification. The program is customized for each patient to meet their individual needs.

Program outline

Phase 1: Assessment

• Comprehensive medical intake, physical examination, circumference measurements and blood testing if needed
• Diet and nutrient assessment
• Identify the root of the problem and obstacles to achieving optimal health.
• What stands in your way from achieving your health goals?
• There is always a reason as to why people are unable to achieve their health goals, especially when it comes to shedding unwanted pounds. To be successful in weight loss you need to customize your plan to meet your individual needs. This includes recognizing the personal obstacles you need to overcome in order to achieve a healthy balanced abundant life.
• Common obstacles include a hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, sluggish metabolism, undiagnosed medical condition and manifestations of chronic stress on body functioning.

Phase 2: Patient education Receive your OHPP individualized treatment plan discussing the following:

• Maximizing nutrients from food to support ideal body functioning and metabolism
• Making use of food and natural health products to achieve intended therapeutic outcomes
• How to interpret food labels, and recognize hidden ingredients
• Healthy meal planning and serving sizes
• Understanding glycemic index, and the role glucose and insulin play in weight loss
• Detoxification
• Exercise
• Stress management and decreasing cortisol to permit weight loss.

The world is saturated with ample information on healthy eating tips, dieting and recommended supplements. It can be obtained effortlessly through the internet, magazines and television, and is sought after because people want to be healthier and feel better. The main issue here is that YOU are a unique individual, and your weight loss strategy needs to be exclusive to you. It is unreasonable to expect the same results from another person’s plan.

The OHPP designs a plan that applies only to you.

• No fad dieting
• No absurd calorie restrictions

The secret is determining WHY you are not losing weight, and facilitating small dietary and lifestyle changes to make the body more efficient and balanced. It is a practical and logical approach, that supports your body naturally.

Phase 3: Maintenance plan

Through-out the OHPP program your progress has been monitored and measured. In order to proceed into phase 3, you will have been satisfied with the condition of your current state of health. A customized maintenance program is outlined, which includes minor adjustments to your existing OHPP plan.

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.
The Optimal You has been discovered and is here to stay.
