Are you ready to learn how to be lean for life?  

Trying to lose weight without success can be very depressing and frustrating, I completely understand, I have been there and done that. However, I came across a system, a way of eating and exercising that allowed me to lose over sixty pounds in less than a year. Losing weight not only gave me a new body, it gave me a new life.

 Now, my goal is to help you achieve the body and life you deserve. I will teach you the exact same techniques, and lifestyle changes, I used to successfully lose weight. I will be acting a your personal weight loss coach, helping you with your nutrition, developing your exercise programs, holding you accountable with your nutrition and exercise, and providing the encouragement and the motivation you may need to reach your weight loss goals.

You will not fail. I will not let you!

However, before we go any further, I want to be honest with you right from the start. Our programs are not a quick fix program. If you want to lose weight by just taking a little magic pill, or by listening to some subliminal tapes, this program is NOT FOR YOU. Stop right here, do not waste your time, or my time. There are plenty of people out there that will gladly take your money and produce ZERO results.
 
However, if you need help, help with nutrition, help with motivation, help with your exercise program, and are really ready to lose weight and to change your body, this is exactly what you need. I will be with you every step of the way to assure your success. Please look through our programs, and feel free to e-mail me or give me a call if you have any questions. -Dr. Jeffrey Banas

All programs begin with past history medical consultation and diagnostic evaluation.
 
You are then referred out to a Lab for Lab Tests to evaluate your hormonal status.

The fact is that as we age, we undergo physiological changes that encourage weight gain. These include hormonal changes and alterations in the way our bodies process nutrients. We believe, that, in addition to a sensible, balanced diet and exercise, the only way to successfully lose weight is to address the underlying hormonal imbalances that promote weight gain.

Based on the labs results, you will be given nutrient and supplement recommendations, to ideally, restore their hormonal profile to what it was at the age of 25, an age at which weight gain is less often a problem.
