A Functional Medicine Approach to Health

​

At Heller Healthcare, we understand that weight loss is more than just diet and exercise - it’s about uncovering the root causes that may be holding you back. Our Nutrition & Weight Loss Management Service utilizes functional medicine and advanced testing to take a holistic approach to optimizing your health, addressing weight loss resistance, and creating sustainable, long-term results.

​

Comprehensive Testing for a Deeper Understanding

We go beyond conventional methods to assess what’s truly affecting your metabolism and overall health. Our advanced lab testing includes:

• Hormone Panel:  Evaluating thyroid hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol to identify imbalances impacting metabolism and appetite.

• Blood Sugar & Insulin Testing:  Detecting insulin resistance, a key factor in stubborn weight gain.

• Nutritional Deficiency Analysis:  Checking for vitamin and mineral imbalances that could hinder your weight loss journey.

• Gut Microbiome Analysis:  Examining gut bacteria diversity, which plays a crucial role in digestion, metabolism, and overall health.​

 

A Functional Medicine Approach to Nutrition & Weight Management

Our method focuses on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. We assess various lifestyle and physiological factors to design a tailored plan that works for you:

• Lifestyle Assessment:  Evaluating sleep patterns, stress levels, physical activity, and dietary habits.

• Root Cause Analysis:  Identifying and addressing underlying factors contributing to weight gain.

• Personalized Nutrition Plans:  Developing customized nutritional plans based on comprehensive test results, dietary preferences, and health goals.

​

Addressing Weight Loss Resistance & Hormonal Imbalances

Many factors can contribute to difficulties in losing weight.  We focus on key areas such as:

• Weight Loss Resistance:  Investigating potential causes like thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, or medication side effects.

• Hormone Balancing:  Implementing dietary and lifestyle modifications to regulate hormone levels and support metabolic health.

• Stress Management:  Integrating stress reduction techniques to promote a healthy metabolism and overall well-being.

 

Beyond Weight Loss: Optimizing Your Health

While weight loss is a natural byproduct of addressing these root causes, our primary goal is to optimize your overall health. The benefits of our approach include:

• Sustainable Weight Loss:  Long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.

• Improved Energy & Mood:  Identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies enhances vitality and mental clarity.

• Personalized Care:  Tailored treatment plans to meet your unique health needs and concerns.

 

At Heller Healthcare, we don’t focus solely on weight loss - we focus on you.  By uncovering the root of ongoing health issues, we help our patients not only lose weight but also regain control of their health and well-being.
