EATING HEALTHY, LIGHT, & CLEAN AND STILL CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT?

Learn Why It's Next To IMPOSSIBLE To Lose Weight When You're Toxic, Inflamed, & Have Cellular Damage!

FACT: 71% OF THE ENTIRE U.S. IS OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE

Here's the scary part!

With being overweight / obese comes with the consequences of:

- type 2 diabetes

- cancer

- heart disease,

-obstructive sleep apnea, etc.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is a roller coaster that leads to disease & dysfunction!

Over the past 12+ years I've had the privilege of helping patients not only lose weight, but get healthy in the process.

Our functional weight loss system is a revolutionary approach to losing fat fast.

This is a clinically proven protocol backed by nearly 100 years of science and research. This isn't guesswork. This is NOT a one size fits all cookie cutter approach.

This is the SOLUTION to weight loss struggles. I'm confident in saying this because I've seen first hand the lives that have been transformed.

- People getting off their cholesterol meds.

- People getting off their blood pressure meds.

- People sleeping better.

- People having more energy.

- People feeling less achy / inflamed.


In our clinic we have a saying...

"We Don't Guess...We TEST!"


Believe it or not, not everybody should be eating green beans! Not everybody should be eating eggs, apple, spinach etc.

This is why we FOOD TEST! 

FUNCTIONAL WEIGHT LOSS

FUNCTIONAL

WEIGHT LOSS

  • The clinically proven system (backed by decades of research) that will put you on the fast track to success!
  • ​A protocol designed & customized for YOU which means NO MORE GUESSING on your part!
  • ​A program designed with FOODS, NUTRIENTS, TOXINS, & INFLAMMATION in mind...which means health benefits far beyond weight loss will be experienced! 
  • A simple and COMFORTABLE program to follow without all of the cumbersome confusion!

  • ​A practitioner guided protocol to ensure your weight loss success!

OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE!

  • Remember, we take a "global" look with weight loss. We look at a variety of factors including foods, nutrients, toxins, inflammation, cell health etc. 

  • ​In order to truly get well and lose fat fast, you need a doctor who is like a detective. Somebody who will take the time and dig for the root cause. NOT somebody who spends 5 minutes with you, gives you a "generic protocol" and says come back next week. 

  • ​If you're sick of the weight loss information overload (i.e. INFObesity) & food confusion...then let's hop on a discovery call. No cost, simply a chance to ask each other questions and determine if our functional weight loss system would make sense for you. 

KEEP IN MIND OUR PRACTICE IS 100% VIRTUAL AND WE HELP PATIENTS FROM ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What Happens On The Discovery Call?

Very simple. Valentina will ask you some questions, do a thorough health history, and determine if you're a case she can accept. If she thinks she can help she'll give you that option. If she doesn't think she can help, she'll work to find somebody who can.

Are Your Programs Safe?

ABSOLUTELY! Our protocols are safe and there is nothing like it. We will do objective functional testing and work towards finding the ROOT CAUSE of the health challenge. Prescribed medications are FDA approved and our goal is to minimize unnecessary use of medications . Some medications can be shipped directly to your door or picked up in your local pharmacy.

Does Insurance Pay For Functional Medicine?

Unfortunately no insurance company pays for weight loss. However, if you're MOTIVATED we'll work with you. Our protocols are very affordable and keep in mind that we've never turned anybody away because of finances. 

Where Is Your Clinic Located?

We are 100% virtual at this time. The beautiful thing about functional medicine and our functional approach is that it can be done from ANYWHERE! After our initial discovery call (to determine if our protocol makes sense for you) we'll provide you with home test kits or send you to your local Quest or LabCorps lab for blood draw so TOGETHER we can customize a safe & highly effective protocol based on YOUR individual needs. 

Will I Have To Swallow A Lot Of Pills?

We will provide recommendations based on where you're nutrient deficient / depleted. Again, this is based on the testing that is performed. We'll give you supplement recommendations as well as give you food recommendations to eat more of that are abundant in the nutrients where you're depleted. 

Do You Provide Support / Accountability?

YES! Even though our functional protocols are done virtually, we provide 24/7 email support. If you have a question / obstacle to work through we'll provide you the support & guidance you need.
