Have you tried every diet from Scarsdale to South Beach ? How many times have you lost the same 10-15 pounds? Have you increased your workouts and consumed fewer calories and still fail to get the results you want? Are health problems becoming your reality?

With inactivity and obesity contributing to the millions of Americans suffering from diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it's evident most weight loss programs fail. Why do these programs fail? Because they are generic—“one size fits all” plans that neglect to take into account your individual metabolism and basic caloric requirements. Everyone's physiology is different. Metabolism is affected by your age, body composition, gender, genetics, activity level and associated health conditions.

Through The Metabolic Institutes state-of-the-art technology, we measure your actual resting metabolic rate and exercise metabolism as well as body composition to determine your basic caloric needs. Additional laboratory tests are performed to assess other health factors such as low thyroid, hormone imbalances, food allergies and environmental toxicities such as heavy metal exposure. Frequently these health conditions are overlooked and may be affecting your body chemistry and its ability to lose weight.

We design a custom-fit two part program. Part one consists of nutritional guidelines that help you. Part two is an exercise plan that maximizes your ability to optimize fat burning, boost your metabolism and preserve lean muscle mass.

Our goal at The Metabolic Institute is to assess your metabolism, uncover any conditions that may impede it and design a nutrition and weight loss program that gives you back your birth right—to be optimally healthy!

Over the past several decades our environment has become increasingly more toxic – our exposure is higher now than at any point in human history.  We are exposed to 10,000+ toxins from our air, water, cleaning, cosmetic and food supplies.  Furthermore, we consume an ever growing list of toxins every day including artificial sweeteners, MSG, pesticides, preservatives, caffeine, over-the-counter medications, alcohol, nicotine and damaged fats.  The body also produces toxins as a by-product of every day essential cellular functions.

It is the accumulation of these toxins that create havoc in the body.  Our bodies are able to counteract, neutralize and remove a certain level of toxins, however, when we ingest and inhale more than the body can handle, toxicity occurs.  As a result, excessive oxidative stress occurs which in turn threatens our health by damaging DNA.  Damaged DNA can lead to a multiple of health problems.

You may be burdened by any of the common symptoms of toxicity or combination of headaches, fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, mood changes, weakened immune system, or chronic GI issues.  This total toxic overload has been implicated in:  cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, weight loss resistance, allergies, skin conditions, asthma, mental illness, hypertension, gastritis, kidney disease and obesity. 

Our medically supervised cleanse is just what the doctor ordered!

The process:  A three week program including products, access to the staff for questions, three consecutive weekly group meetings and subject materials.  Week one consists of a pre-cleanse – the gradual elimination of unhealthy products in preparation of cleansing the body.  Week two is the cleanse consisting of whole food meals and snacks, supplements and cleansing shakes.  Week three discusses ongoing cleansing, healthy eating and food challenging.
This is not a fasting protocol:  Fasting results in increased lipolysis (fat breakdown) and surge of toxins into the circulation.  Insufficient calories impairs biotransformation (the body’s ability to transform those toxins into a form that can be excreted).  Detoxification (esp. phase II) is highly energy dependant and calories should not be restricted. 
The supplements:  Pharmaceutical grade supplements high in nutrients depleted by toxicity and designed to work synergistically together for optimal support of both detoxification phases for balanced cleansing.
The cost:  Pre-payment is required.  $330
You may sign up for a group cleanse or individually by appointment
