Classes

Do you want to reboot your metabolism and burn calories faster and more efficiently?

Are you ready to finally shed those unwanted pounds and feel healthy in your body?

If that sounds like you, then you don’t want to miss our brand new weight loss program!

Our Blum Alternate Fasting Diet uses the newest research on nutrition and metabolism, including intermittent fasting, fasting mimicking and carb restriction, to jumpstart your weight loss journey and teach you how to maintain a healthy weight once you reach your goal.

Sounds good, right? Here’s how we do it. During this 3-week program you will follow a plant forward food plan along with multiple fasting strategies that are easy to follow.

The Food Plan includes:

• Instructions, menus and food plans based on the newest research: We combine the principles of an anti-inflammatory plant-forward diet with intermittent fasting, calorie and net carb restriction, all while eating delicious food that also supports the gut microbiome and the removal of environmental toxins that store in your fat cells preventing weight loss.

• A 10-day period of calorie restriction, including a 5-Day Fasting Cycle. This program uses “fasting mimicking” which tricks your body and gives you all the great health benefits of fasting without actually starving yourself!

Our Program has 3 components:

1. Coaching with Dr. Blum and Melissa: During our first session Dr. Blum will describe the science, and review the nuts and bolts of the food program. Melissa, your health coach, will lead you through the remainder of the program, and support you through the process. We won’t just tell you what to eat, but teach you how to eat. And we don’t just focus on food. We coach you through the program, helping you uproot old habits, and creating healthy new patterns that stick.
2. Purchasing food for your 5 Day Fasting Cycle: We teamed up with Organic Pharmer to create a delicious and satisfying whole foods ready-to-go option for the 5-Day Fasting Cycle. While we can give you guidelines for counting calories and doing it yourself, we strongly recommend you purchase the food from Organic Pharmer or Prolon.
3. 3-Month Guidebook: This 3-week program will get you started on our 3-Month program that includes three 5-Day Fasting Cycles, one each month. The first one we will do together. The guidebook includes strategies and tips for integrating our food plan as a permanent approach to eating for long term good gut health and to combat environmental toxins to reverse aging and disease.
