Weight Management Program

In addition to providing chiropractic care, Dr. West also teaches a 12 week weight management program for women. In the program, Dr. West follows the Body for Life for Women book, written by Dr. Pamela Peeke. Dr. West has taught the program four times thus far and each time has enjoyed watching every single participant succeed in so many ways!

Dr. West approaches health care holistically, incorporating healthy eating, supplementation and exercise in her clinic. Most participants in her program are current patients but this is not a requirement, all are welcome!  

If you are interested in our next weight management class, call our office and speak with our staff. We hope you enjoy reading some of the testimonials from past program participants...

“We’ve now completed the 14 week program with Dr. West. Overall, I’ve reduced my dimensions by 22” in 12 weeks on the food plan and about 8 or 9 weeks on the workout plan. I’ve released 16.5 pounds overall, 11.5 pounds of it body fat. I’m starting the beginnings of a six pack, and the arms of a thin person under the layers of insulation I’ve maintained for years.

If you’re ready to let go of some of the baggage you’ve hated for so long, Dr. West’s class is a good way to get started.  After you’ve done it for a while, if you let it happen, your thinking will begin to change. And that’s really what it’s all about: changing how you think about your body, your quality of life, about food, exercise and what’s actually important.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed this class. It has changed my whole attitude about exercise and eating. I have more emotional energy and my body is looking better! I am now on a regular exercise program. I want to live a long, healthy life and this class will help me do that. My back is stronger and I hope my osteoporosis will be better. I am well on my way to losing the amount of weight I wish to and changing fat to muscle.

 
As I go through the next phase of my life, I feel strong mentally, physically and spiritually due to a healthy attitude toward eating and exercising.”

“I plan to use the information that Dr. West provided, the Cooking for Life Cookbook and the suggested exercises to continue on the program. I liked the nutrition shake recipes and have incorporated them into my weekly menu. I am planning for the next 12 weeks and hope to move closer to my goal”.

“I needed guidance, instruction and support. Dr. West provided all of these. She guided us through the maze of current nutrition information and showed us how to use several small meals to keep from overeating. She gave us easy to follow exercise routines that could be done at home and didn’t include a single machine-just dumbbells, a ball and a good pair of shoes. She demonstrated each and every one and gave alternates for those of us with knee and shoulder issues. Her positive energy created a level of support within the group that couldn’t be matched. We shared recipes and advice when we hit a hard spot and always had a great time.

In the Body for Life for Women book by Dr. Pam Peeke, the emphasis is a healthy lifestyle, but the thing that stuck with me is that you have to take care of yourself to be best to care for others. That’s what I’m learning to do- and it’s working!”
