Bariatric Breakthrough

My Signature Program includes:

an individualized recovery and wellness plan;

your choice of a dietician-approved Low-Carb / High Healthy Fat (LCHF) or Ketogenic eating plan to resolve dysregulated metabolic hormones (or recommendations for modifying your existing plan);

your choice of implementation approach ("cold turkey" or a more gradual transition);

identification of the trigger foods and ingredients that are unique to you and your specific biochemistry;

preparation for carbohydrate withdrawal, and support through that challenging process;

guidance on understanding and successfully combating "The Enemy Within" — the devious, persuasive and self-sabotaging voice of your "Inner Addict";

nutrient supplementation guidance (as needed and desired) to prevent nutritional deficiencies or correct malnutrition - such as from post-surgical malabsorption;

Neuro-Nutrient Therapy (as needed and desired) with recommendations for therapeutic supplementation of key vitamins, minerals and amino acids (this therapy provides powerful relief from cravings, improved mood, better focus, higher-quality sleep and relief from anxiety, by balancing and optimizing neurotransmitter levels);

emotion management and distress tolerance techniques (methods for living happily without carb-induced anesthesia);

support in establishing a circadian routine that builds leptin sensitivity and effective satiety signaling;

abstinence coaching and accountability;

relapse prevention (the art and science of “staying stopped”);

educational materials and support resources;

provider referrals, as appropriate, and more!

Certified and Licensed Provider of SUGAR® Assessments

Is it an actual addiction you're dealing with? Or is it just poor eating habits? The answer to this crucial question could make all the difference in the world as you strive to achieve lasting health and relief.

I am Certified and Licensed to administer the most comprehensive and reliable carb/food/sugar addiction assessment currently available worldwide. It's called SUGAR®, and it's based on the same questions and criteria used to diagnose substance use disorders for other psychoactive substances, taking all the guess-work out of the process.

The SUGAR® diagnostic tool accurately distinguishes between "pathological" (addictive) use and what's considered to be less serious “harmful use.” Examples of harmful use include stress eating or emotional eating by someone who's experiencing some damaging consequences but isn't actually addicted).

This distinction is vital in identifying appropriate treatment. These two very different conditions have very different treatment protocols. Addiction to carbohydrates (such as sugar, flour and other processed foods) is a chronic, complex and serious disease requiring an abstinence model of treatment. "Harmful use," on the other hand, is less serious and can sometimes be remedied with a treatment model of moderation.

The SUGAR® diagnostic assessment is an excellent way to begin our work together. It will help you determine whether my Signature Program is right for you. It includes a report of your ICD-11*/DSM-5** results, a detailed graph of any addictive symptoms you've developed over the course of your life, and an individualized treatment plan to help you progress on your path to recovery. That package is priced at $395 USD.

*International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) **The DSM-5 is The American Psychiatric Association's manual for the assessment and diagnosis of mental disorders such as addiction. (Carbohydrate addiction is a neurochemical and hormonal disorder that impacts mental and physical health.)
