The Better Weigh Program

The Better Weigh is an innovative weight loss program that offers a state-of-the-art Comprehensive Metabolic Profile to uncover nutrient deficiencies and metabolic blockages that contribute to weight loss resistance -- a sign of a damaged metabolism. This individualized assessment enables us to prescribe a combination of nutritional supplements, lifestyle recommendations and exercise to help you overcome your personal barriers to weight loss.

Dr. Bari Liebowitz, a licensed chiropractor and naturopathic practitioner who is currently pursuing her MS in human nutrition runs the Better Weigh program. Her experience combines years of functional medicine with clinical experience to guide you through this journey towards achieving overall wellness and optimal body composition.

People often equate weight loss with the ability to burn more calories than they consume. This is true for about 90 percent of the population, but there are many people who struggle to lose fat because their metabolisms are damaged from years of "dieting", hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, sleep disturbances or toxic burdens. These areas of "weight loss resistance" must be healed before the body can burn fat and build muscle.

Many people lose weight on a diet, only to gain it all back plus some. Statistics show that people who keep the weight off for five years are most likely to keep it off for good. The Better Weigh will teach you how to change your lifestyle to help you keep the weight off long term. We stress the importance of a healthy body composition, and not just a number on the scale. We do this because lean muscle mass, which weighs more than fat, increases your metabolism enabling you to lose more fat. Proper nutrition and glycemic control based on nutrient-dense foods and decreased portion sizes are the heart of our program. We do not advocate calorie counting, prepared meals, or liquid diets. We are dedicated to helping you not only lose the weight, but to attain the tools needed to keep it off.

By fixing nutritional deficiencies, customizing a hormonally-balanced diet, making lifestyle changes, and including an exercise program geared to rev up your metabolism to make you a fat burning machine, our program will enable you to shift your damaged metabolism into a healthy one.
