For weight loss to work and especially to be able to keep weight off, the habit and mindset changes you make need to fit your life and lifestyle. In other words, the program must be personalized and meaningful to you as an individual and for long-term success. Also, by using a large database of over 10,000 individuals and applying the scientific method of factor analysis, I was able to identify six distinct factors that are related to being overweight or having obesity. In Six Factors to Fit, you find out your highest scoring factors and based on your results, we give you step by step guidance with nudges and tweaks to help you lose weight and get healthier. This is very different from the one-size-fits-all restrictive diet plans you may have tried in the past. (less)

When Life Gets in the Way – of Managing Weight

Before I help patients develop a personalized weight management plan, I want to better understand each person’s weight journey, that is, how they got to where they are today.

Since no two patients are alike, providing personalized obesity care requires knowing more about each patient’s personal struggles, resources and life stressors.
