Dr. Alston’s advanced training in nutrition allows her to develop personalized menu plans that target your unique nutritional and medical needs.
During your first weight loss appointment, Dr. Alston weighs you, determines your body mass index (BMI) and goal weight, checks your vital signs, reviews your medical history, and completes a physical exam. She discusses your usual diet and exercise habits.
Dr. Alston may recommend you complete a blood test to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, thyroid hormone imbalance, other hormone problems, and chronic disease risk factors.
Be Balanced Naturopathic Care Center offers specialty lab testing to provide information regarding vitamins, minerals, cholesterol, and enzyme levels, as well as blood counts and your body’s biochemical processes.
Personalized weight loss plans at Be Balanced Naturopathic Care Center often include the following:
When you know which foods to eat and how much of them to eat, losing weight is much easier. Simply follow Dr. Alston’s customized diet plan and watch the excess weight melt off.
You might take dietary supplements, especially multivitamin supplements, to keep energy levels high and prevent or correct nutritional deficiencies.
Knowing which exercises are most effective for weight loss, fat loss, and muscle building helps you lose inches and tone up in addition to losing weight.
Keeping stress levels low is one of the best ways to keep appetite-stimulating hormones in check and reduce your risk of overeating. Dr. Alston teaches you strategies to deal with stress in a healthy way.
Getting plenty of sleep, not smoking, and avoiding excessive alcohol are just some of the additional strategies you can use to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders that affect your diet and body weight, Dr. Alston offers counseling and behavior change strategies that can help you cope with your condition more effectively.
