Are you sick and tired of all of the fad diets, gimmick supplements, and ineffective exercise programs and tapes out there?
Everywhere you look, there is a so-called “weight loss expert” trying to sell you the latest fad diet, gimmick supplement, or greatest fat burning-muscle toning exercise program ever! When will it ever end?
Sadly, for most people, it will never end. As a nation we continue to get fatter and fatter, year after year. We live in a country with the most advanced medical system in the world. We have more health clubs, more personal trainers, more diet books, and more doctors than and any other country in the world, and yet we are still the most obese country in the world. Why and how can this happen?
Most people are constantly looking for that “quick fix”, the “magic pill’ that will finally be the solution to all their weight loss problems. This is why the majority of people trying to lose weight will fail, and they will continue to waste their hard earned money on the latest fad diet book, gimmick supplement, or bogus exercise program, all while eating themselves to an early grave. Sad, but true.
However, study, after study, after study, have shown that the most successful weight loss programs are ones that involve lifestyle changes.
That is where we come in. Our programs are designed to cut through all the BS out there (please excuse my bluntness) and teach you how to survive in today's fast food society. No-packaged meal. You eat real foods.

Dr. Jeff on TV 3 News
What makes us different from all the rest?
1) I, Dr. Jeff, have been there. I know what you are going through. I was close to 270, and lost over 60 pounds. I will personal supervise your entire program. No classes, no techs, just me.
2) This is not a diet. It is a lifestyle program used not only for fat loss, but also the first line of defense for conditions such as high blood pressure, Metabolic Syndrome, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and many others.
3) All exercises are closed monitored with heart rate monitors. Based on your specific condition, you are given specific heart rates and heart zones for optimal fat burning.
4) You are sent out for lab test to determine your hormone status. (Low DHEA or Low Testosterone can make it very difficult to lose weight).
5) Based on you blood work nutritional supplements may be suggested to restore blood hormone level to a more optimal level. (Note: we do not require you to purchase supplements. This is NOT a "supplement" program. However, there may be some supplements that may help you lose weight.
6) We will do two METABOLIC or VO2 TEST. One of these test will measure your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), which is how many calories your body burns at rest. From this test we will be able to tell you exactly how many calories you need to take in to lose weight. We often find out that people are taking in too few calories. This might sound strange, but the reason you are not losing weight may be because you are taking in too few calories.
7) The second METABOLIC TEST is an EXERCISE TEST. We measure the the ratios of oxygen and carbon carbon dioxide you are taking in and producing, while walking on a treadmill or bike. From this information we are able to put you in the proper HEART RATE ZONES to lose weight. No guess work with equations that do not work.
8) Dr Banas reviews your food journal over the web on a DAILY BASIS, and gives you feedback on your nutrition.
"I struggled with losing weight for many years despite being very active as a 260 pound triathlete participating in smaller triathlons. As a certified triathlon coach, Dr. Banas put together a personalized training program for me."
"He helped me understand how to make my body burn fat and how to maximize fat-burning through proper training techniques. I was able to lose almost 40 pounds in the last 10 months utilizing his advice and a personalized training program. As an added benefit, several of the day-to-day aches and pains I used to wake up with every day are now gone. I feel great. I sleep better too." -Ken H.

Sometimes, Diet and Exercise are Not Enough to LOSE WEIGHT.

If you do not address hormones, glucose, and insulin, you may have a difficult time losing weight.
How blood sugar, glucose, and insulin affect weight loss:
Lets take a moment to explain how your body controls blood sugar, and how hard it will be to lose weight when this system is not working correctly. Glucose is the basic fuel source for the body. However, it can only be used as an energy source when it is inside the cell, not when in the bloodstream.
Your body wants your blood sugar in a fairly narrow range. Not too much sugar (hyperglycemia), and not too low sugar (hypoglycemia). When your blood sugar is out of it's normal range, serious health problems can occur.
In order to maintain your blood sugar in the healthy normal ranges, your body releases insulin. Insulin is the hormone that allows the glucose (sugar) to be transported from the bloodstream into the cells where it can be used as energy.
Most people produce insulin on a normal basis, allowing the system to work fine. However, some people do not respond the insulin signal that allows the sugar to be transported into the cells. This then causes the blood sugar to rise. The body still wants to maintain the blood sugar in it's normal ranges, therefore when the cells do not "get the message" that there is glucose coming, the body releases more insulin. This leads to a condition call Insulin resistance, and Metabolic Syndrome.
Most people with Metabolic Syndrome, have excess fat around their mid section, high bad cholesterol, low good cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood pressure. In order to screen patients for Metabolic Syndrome, you will be sent out for specific blood test.
Until you normalized the blood sugar, it will be very difficult to lose weight, even if you are eating right and exercising.
In order to treat this condition, we your people on a specialized eating plan, we have them exercise in specific heart rate zones, and we may recommend a specific medical food scientifically designed to provide advanced nutritional support for this condition.

How hormones affect weight loss:
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. Ideally, by using bioidentical hormone replacement, dieters can restore their hormonal profile to what it was at the age of 25, an age at which weight gain is less often a problem. In addition, numerous dietary nutrients have been shown to encourage weight loss.
Why Middle-Aged Men Gain Weight About age 30 to 35, most men (and some women) notice they are gaining weight around the middle. Their pants become tight and at some point no longer fit. The words “pot belly,” “beer belly,” or “spare tire” are sometimes used to describe the medical condition called “abdominal obesity.” This sort of fat accumulation greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. Low testosterone = abdominal fat gain
As it turns out, there is a scientific explanation for the tendency toward abdominal obesity among middle-aged men.
As men age, their levels of free testosterone decline, and levels of estrogen and insulin increase. This is partly because aging men convert much of their testosterone into estradiol, a form of estrogen. Of the remaining testosterone, much is bound to sex hormone–binding globulin, a protein in the blood, and is not biologically active. Studies have shown that men with low free testosterone have higher rates of coronary artery disease, mental depression, and dementia (Tan et all 2004).
The idea behind testosterone replacement therapy is to restore the level of free testosterone to that of a healthy 25-year-old to counteract the effects of increased estrogen. Studies have shown that fat cells, particularly abdominal fat cells, convert testosterone to estradiol (Schneider et al 1979; Kley et al 1980; Killinger et al 1987; Khaw et al 1992). The more belly fat a man accumulates, the greater the conversion of his testosterone into estradiol. As long as free testosterone is low and the ratio of estrogen to insulin is high, most aging men will store fat around their belly (Abate 2002).
Clinical studies have shown that testosterone replacement therapy can provide a variety of benefits. In one study of 86 men aged 50 to 70, waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure markedly decreased after 60 days of testosterone therapy (Li et al 2002).
Another testosterone-replacement study in middle-aged obese men showed improved waist-to-hip ratio along with a decrease in plasma insulin and an increase in glucose disposal, suggesting improved insulin sensitivity (Marin et al 1992).
In another trial, abdominally obese middle-aged men showed improved glucose control, decreased abdominal body fat, and improved sexual function after testosterone therapy (Boyanov et al 2003). Given that these studies looked only at testosterone levels, one can only speculate about what the results might have looked like if excess estrogen and insulin had also been suppressed.
Hormone Therapy for Women In women, the relationship between excess body fat, testosterone, estrogens, and progesterone is somewhat more complicated.
It is believed that estrogen reduces lipid oxidation at puberty and in early pregnancy to facilitate efficient fat storage in preparation for fertility, birth and lactation (O'Sullivan et al 2001; Rosenbaum et al 1999).
We believe the imbalance of estrogens and progesterone may play a pivotal role in the dynamics of metabolic obesity and visceral fat accumulation in aging women.
DHEA and Weight Loss Testosterone and estrogen are not the only hormones implicated in weight gain. We use blood test to find the underlining hormonal imbalances, the supply you with supervised nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle change to finally help you lose weight.
We offer the most comprehensive weight loss program in the area.

"When I met Dr. Banas I weighed 246 lbs., and hoped to reach my goal of 200 lbs. within six months. Dr. Banas said if I followed his program, and did what he said, I could reach my goal. He gave me a nutrition plan (which is very easy to follow and not expensive) and asked for a commitment of one hour four times a week for Cardio and strengthening training." "He told me it was not another exercise program but a lifestyle change."
"I have followed his program exactly like he said and now, only four months later, I have lost 60 lbs. and now weigh 186 lbs. I have far exceeded my goal and no longer need medication for high blood pressure or cholesterol. Dr. Banas has truly changed my life, and I would recommend anyone wanting to improve their lifestyle and feel younger to contact Dr. Banas and check into his program." -Mike
