Are you tired of trying different diets and not getting sustainable results? What works for one person does not always work for someone else--that's because we all have different metabolisms. Instead of focusing on calories, different diets, or exercise routines, it is more important to know what your metabolism is doing. Based on that, you can pick the foods that work best for you. During this 4-week journey led by Dr. Chiti Parikh, all participants will wear a continuous glucose monitor to gain better insight into their metabolism. Each week will come with specific instructions on using that information while optimizing your diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management routine. This session is a good fit for anyone looking to optimize their weight or address prediabetes or early diabetes. Pre-requisites:A visit with our clinical team will be scheduled, where baseline lab tests, body composition, and resting metabolic rate testing will be conducted. This information will help you understand how your metabolism is functioning right now and will help you track progress over time. We will also review different glucose monitors and apps that will suit your unique needs. Over-the-counter glucose monitors cost $89 for a one-month supply if your insurance does not cover them.

Discover the transformative power of medical somatic yoga, where ancient practices merge with modern wellness techniques to promote healing and well-being. Join Lisa Tatham and Grace Damasco, NP, for a group medical visit designed to empower you to unlock the physical and emotional benefits of yoga.

Find solace and understanding within our supportive community and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Through personalized instruction and a safe, welcoming atmosphere, allow yoga to stimulate your immune system, increase flexibility, build strength, alleviate pain, and enhance your overall quality of life. Join us as we embrace the healing potential of medical yoga and take proactive steps towards a healthier, happier you. What you can expect: Each session will focus on a specific benefit that arises out of a somatic yoga practice (improved balance, increased strength, stress management, etc.), allowing you to experience within yourself that benefit and learn the practices you can do to recreate it on your own. This SMA is practiced on the floor. In the session, you will listen to the instructions for the movement you are invited to perform and then do your own version of the movement. This is different from watching someone do something and copying them. Itâs a very special way of practicing that allows you to discover the best possible version of the movement for you.
