Healthy Weight Loss

The Advanced Wellness Center's approach to weight loss focuses on restoring your metabolism to a normal healthy state. With this goal in mind, a program will be developed to support your weight loss for life.

The first step to developing a healthy living program is an accurate measurement of your body's composition (fat, lean mass, water) and metabolism using an advanced medical research instrument. The results of this examination along with an exploration of your lifestyle and habits, will lead to the development of an individualized program to improve the quality of your daily well being.

We utilize the following programs as the foundation for our healthy weight loss plans. Each program includes regular support visits.

After the birth of my three children, I was never able to get rid of the extra, unwanted pounds. With each passing year the problem seemed to get worse, in spite of my regular exercise program. Thanks to Rebecca and the Advanced Wellness Center I have finally lost those pounds and feel confident that the nutritional habits I have learned will keep them off for good. Thank you so much Rebecca for your help, I am eternally grateful." - Suzette A.

ShapeShift

ShapeShift is not a diet plan, but a program that is designed to transform your metabolism. Beyond losing weight, the goal of this program is to improve the shape of your body by supporting healing and changing your body's internally controlled natural weight set point. You can win the war on weight by working smarter with and not fighting against your body fat intelligence - which controls your weight, cravings and health in response to your lifestyle choices.

This program will lower your body fat, especially where fat is detrimental to both health and beauty. Controlled by various regulation centers in your body, the amount of fat and the location of where it's stored, affects your health. The ShapeShift program, through innovative new online systems, helps specially trained doctors identify patients' individual blocks to healthy shape and metabolism. Personalized coaching is used to guide you on how best to enhance your lifestyle to restore your metabolism.

Using the latest research and backed by years of experience, you will be taught how to take inches off your waist without taking years off your life - and without dieting. It's simple, natural, feels great and you can forever enjoy the healthy changes. The ShapeShift program utilizes a Metabolic Optimization Shake, a breakthrough in metabolic support, as a meal supplement to ensure that you get the nourishment you need, while maximizing your level of energy and reshaping your body.

End dieting forever - shape shift your body into a new, healthier you!

It has been a sincere pleasure to work with Rebecca. Under her care, I have lost about 20 pounds and learned how to eat the right amounts of high-quality foods to maintain my health goals. I have learned that eating the right foods eliminates pain, bloating, fatigue and other symptoms. I have attempted to lose weight many, many times before, but I have never been successful. Rebecca was the key to my success! She is caring, extremely knowledgeable and knows how to get me to my goals." - Christy C.

Oriental Medicine Detoxification Program

This program follows Helene Silvers method of using only whole foods and beverages for 21 days. This well-established program is designed to clean the body, repair weak/low-functioning organs, correct bowel function, clean out the lymph and glands, revitalize energy, improve the quality of sleep and inspire one towards keeping a healthy life-style beyond the initial 21 days.

Managed by a licensed acupuncturist, the program is customized to fit each patient. Illness is a major reason to cleanse, but patients need to be guided by a professional to answer the questions and symptoms that arise during the detoxification process.
