Nutrition & Weight Loss

Home » Nutrition & Weight Loss

Here at The Benjamin Wellness Center, we are dedicated to helping our patients lead healthy lifestyles that are sustainable long-term. We know that health begins from the inside out – what you eat, your activity level, and how you manage your stress all directly impacts every aspect of how well your body works. Our board-certified nurse practitioners and physician will assess your current health situation, determine your overall level of health and fitness, and formulate a customized nutrition plan to help you reach your weight loss goals. Every person has a unique metabolism, medical history, and body composition, and what works for one person may not be as effective for another. There are many health factors involved with why a person may not be losing weight on their own even though they’re working hard at it. Having an experienced nutritionist to guide you along your health journey will help you tackle health factors and reach your health and fitness goals in a safe, sustainable manner.

Customized Nutrition Plans

Work with a board-certified health professional to create a customized nutrition plan for safe, effective, sustainable weight loss. Skip the fad diets and yo-yo weight loss/gain. Good nutrition means that you’re giving your body all the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals it needs to function optimally. Good nutrition can benefit all aspects of your life, and weight loss is only one of the many benefits that optimizing your nutrition intake offers. Some additional benefits of getting the proper nutrition for your body include:

Lowering high blood pressure

Improving your general well-being

Improving your energy levels

Lowering the risk of certain diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and osteoporosis

Strengthening your immune system

Improving your ability to recover from illness or injury

Healthy Weight Loss That Is Sustainable Long-Term

While you may be tempted by fad diets promising rapid results, healthy weight loss isn’t just about a “program” or “diet.” Losing weight steadily and gradually (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) is much more sustainable, and people who lose weight by learning good nutrition and fitness habits are much more successful at keeping it off over the years. Some benefits of healthy weight loss include:

Lower blood pressure

Lower blood sugar

Lower cholesterol

Increased energy levels

Increased physical mobility

Higher self-confidence
