Find The Cause. Live The Solution.
Remember, we take a "global" look with weight loss. We look at a variety of factors including foods, nutrients, toxins, inflammation, cell health etc.
In order to truly get well and lose fat fast, you need a doctor who is like a detective. Somebody who will take the time and dig for the root cause. NOT somebody who spends 5 minutes with you, gives you a "generic protocol" and says come back next week.
If you're sick of the weight loss information overload (i.e. INFObesity) & food confusion...then let's hop on a discovery call. No cost, simply a chance to ask each other questions and determine if our functional weight loss system would make sense for you.
We know that EVERYONE is unique & different and this is why we don't guess with weight loss...we TEST!
The Carnivore diet is an excellent short term elimination diet that helps reset your body. While a Keto diet works great for many other people, but for others it could be their worst nightmare because they react negatively to certain foods like dairy, eggs, bacon, & avocado.
We've had hundreds, if not thousands, of patients come to use with what we call "food confusion". They "THINK" they are eating healthy...but the reality is that they are eating foods that are harming their gut, stressing their immune system & ultimately spiking INFLAMMATION in their body...and we know that it's next to impossible to lose weight when you're inflamed! We MUST food test as pillar #1!
How do you know which supplements you should be taking? Are you guessing?
Friends, the most expensive vitamin is the one you don't need. THIS is why we test for nutrient deficiencies & shortages.
We determine EXACTLY where you're depleted and from there we fill in the gaps. We don't guess! We test and customize accordingly.
Remember, our PRIMARY goal is to get you HEALTHY. Fat will melt off your body as a "side effect" of becoming healthy! We MUST fix nutrient shortages as pillar #2!
Did you know that your body hangs onto fat as a "buffer" against toxins?
It's a protective mechanism. And we know that Standard American Diet (SAD) is highly processed, pro-inflammatory, and TOXIC!
You must start watching your labels. We give our weight loss patients a lengthy PDF of toxins they MUST avoid if they want to lose weight and get healthy.
If a food has 27 ingredients, chances are it's not a food. It was BUILT in a lab by a food chemist who DOES NOT care about the health consequences. They simply want repeat customers! We MUST watch toxins as pillar #3!
The clinically proven system (backed by decades of research) that will put you on the fast track to success!
A protocol designed & customized for YOU which means NO MORE GUESSING on your part!
A program designed with FOODS, NUTRIENTS, TOXINS, & INFLAMMATION in mind...which means health benefits far beyond weight loss will be experienced!
A simple and COMFORTABLE program to follow without all of the cumbersome confusion of counting carbs, macros, & ratios!
A practitioner guided protocol to ensure your weight loss success!
A SUSTAINABLE lifestyle approach that will allow you to keep the weight off LONG-TERM!
Our functional approach looks at the big picture. This isn't a "fad diet". This is an objective / customized plan of attack that is tailored to YOUR body. Fat melts off your body as a SIDE EFFECT of getting healthy!
Our program is safe, natural (i.e. whole food based), & comfortable. No painful shots or risky procedures. We don't believe in short-term calorie restrictive programs. We believe in OBJECTIVE lifestyle changes based on our testing.
Our system is the culmination of 20 years of testing, tweaking, refining, & mastering a protocol that patients LOVE & most importantly...gets the RESULTS they are looking to achieve!
What makes us different is that we take an OBJECTIVE look at your entire body. We take a "holistic" look at the big picture. We use objective 3rd party testing to get the results we're looking for. We're not into generic 1 size fits all "cookie cutter" approaches. We want to give you a long-term sustainable solution. And please remember, fat melts off your body as a side effect of getting healthy. Our primary goal is to get you healthy once again.
Very simple. Dr. Mannie will ask you some questions, do a thorough health history, and determine if you're a case he can accept. If he thinks he can help he'll give you that option. If he doesn't think he can help, he'll work to find somebody who can.
ABSOLUTELY! Our protocols are extremely safe and there is nothing like it. There are very few doctors that will do objective functional testing and work towards finding the ROOT CAUSE of the health challenge. Most simply give a med / chemical cover up.
It's hard to know without having a quick discovery call to determine your goals. A person looking to lose 15 pounds will be different from a person looking to lose 150 pounds. Keep in mind we are ALL unique & different and every patient has a unique care plan that is different from anybody else. We do this via our objective lab testing etc. But this is why we do complimentary discovery calls to determine if our functional weight loss program would make sense for you etc.
Unfortunately no insurance company pays for weight loss. However, if you're MOTIVATED we'll work with you. Our protocols are very affordable and keep in mind that we've never turned anybody away because of finances.
We are 100% virtual. The beautiful thing about functional medicine and our functional approach is that it can be done from ANYWHERE! After our initial discovery call (to determine if our protocol makes sense for you) we'll provide you with test kits so TOGETHER we can customize a safe, natural, & highly effective protocol based on YOUR individual needs.
Nope! Our practice is 100% virtual. All of our discovery calls are done over the phone.
We will provide recommendations based on where you're nutrient deficient / depleted. Again, this is based on the testing that is performed. We'll give you supplement recommendations as well as give you food recommendations to eat more of that are abundant in the nutrients where you're depleted.
YES! Even though our functional protocols are done virtually, we provide Footer24/7 email support. If you have a question / obstacle to work through we'll provide you the support & guidance you need.
Only if you want to. Obviously exercise is a good & healthy thing to do but it's not mandatory while doing our program. Our program is food based with a functional approach so we're not going to say go do a bunch of strenuous exercise to lose fat. Again, you can if you want to but that's not our main focus.
No! No counting calories or points or anything that is cumbersome, confusing, or NOT sustainable long-term. It's more about eating the right foods for YOU, again done via the testing we do and our functional approach!
No. We don't give medications. What we do is safe, natural, & highly effective. We do this WITHOUT harmful medications or risky procedures.
Absolutely! So many people come to us with "food confusion". We also call this "INFObesity". There is so much conflicting information out there that they get paralyzed and confused. We help you break through this confusion and give you CLARITY via our objective 3rd party lab testing we do. You may also opt-in for free/paid recipe plans to help support your journey.
