Be assured they DO NOT prescribe unapproved or off-market supplements or drugs. At NuWell Health you will receive the most current and proven treatment.
Allow our multidisciplinary approach to provide you with care from medical, nutritional, surgical and behavioral professionals.
NUTRITION
Nutrition is a key ingredient for healthy lifestyles, sustainable weight loss and digestive health. The participation of a dietitian is important to help you achieve your desired goals.
As a participant in the NuWell Health program, you are educated to lose weight and strive toward Nutritional Wellness for life. We demystify the weight loss process and you learn what you need to know to make positive decisions to change your daily dietary habits. You will work with our Physicians and Registered Dietitians to plan balanced meals and to review your weekly food intake.
BEHAVIOR
A variety of factors and behaviors contribute to obesity. Our program was written by an expert health educator and the program materials will teach you how personal, environmental and behavioral factors affect your ability to make healthy decisions and lose weight.
Our strategies and techniques are based on published research which shows behavioral treatment to be the missing link in other programs. When combined with diet and exercise, behavior treatment produces the most effective and sustainable weight losses.
We work with you to identify the most desirable behavior patterns for a healthy lifestyle. Currently available programs fail because they are not research-based. Instead, they encourage quick results and do not include the essential skills and strategies needed to lose and maintain weight.
Our dietitian will work with you to help you learn proven and practical behavioral techniques such as dealing with emotional and stress eating, goal setting, dining out successfully, and problem solving (and more) to help you adopt and sustain changes in your eating and physical activity.
BARIATRIC SURGERY
Surgical procedures to treat obesity are common and initial results are impressive. Unfortunately, individuals who do not permanently change their behaviors and lifestyles will see the impressive results diminish as they regain their weight.
Our physicians will review with you different surgical options and their appropriateness. They will also work with your existing surgeon before and after surgery to ensure that your weight loss goals are met. Therefore, whether you desire guidance regarding surgery, are preparing for a surgical procedure or if you want your surgical results to last, the NuWell Health program can equip you with needed skills to make your surgical experience a success.
