Initially, we built this program as a way to kick start our clients weight loss journey – or to help those needing to get through those last 10-15lbs.
We quickly found that these programs benefited both new and existing clients, at any point in their weight loss journey.
The Fitwell program is a great way to ensure that you have a well-rounded wellness program, utilizing the best of our services, while still receiving the personalized care that we’re known for.
If you’ve already been a client of our Medical Weight Loss program, you’ll know that our monthly visits are required for refills and progress check-ins!
As a Fitwell client, you will have access to up to 6 (depending on package purchased) monthly visits.
These visits include a Body Composition Analysis, weigh-in, and approximatley 30 minutes 1:1 with one of our providers.
During your initial visit, you will fill out an intake, go through your health and weight history and will establish a plan to accompany your Fitwell package. This is also when you will be prescribed any medications if eligible.
Metabolic assessments allow our clients to access the worlds first mobile metabolic rate testing device. This will be especially beneficial to those who feel that their metabolism may be slowing with age and/or seem to be stuck in a weight loss plateau.
We recommend using this part of your package towards the beginning of your package usage. This will provide you with invaluable information in regards to your metabolic rate – further setting you up for success.
More information on the Breezing device used for metabolic testing can be found here.

Metabolism is a process in which what we eat is combined with what we breathe to produce energy
We can eat various things, but we can only breathe one thing- Air. That is why we can measure oxygen taken in and exhaled carbon dioxide to measure one metabolism.
- Age
- Sex
- Eating habits
- Lifestyle
- Medications
- Hormonal changes
- Thyroid issues
- Menopause
- Some Genetic Conditions
As you can see, we only have control over some of these factors.
- We tend to have the highest metabolism during infancy.
- From infancy to age 20, it drops by 3% per year.
- At 20 it stabilizes and continues to be in that range till 50 to 60s.
- After that, it starts to decline at about 0.7% to 1% per year.
- Again, we see a drastic decline at age 90 or later.
But there are a lot of variations that happen in everyone based on multiple factors, as discussed below
Mainly due to muscle mass. Men tend to have higher muscle mass compared to women.
Also, hormonal changes tend to profoundly influence women due to changes that happen during pregnancy and menopause.
But there are a lot of things that can be done to help women improve metabolism and health.
Diet is one of the controllable factors which can help us keep our metabolism up.
If we eat one meal a day- our body starts conserving energy before we eat, and then we will burn fewer calories relatively.
And if we eat a big meal at the end of the day, our blood sugar increases and leads to high insulin and deposition of fat.
Drinking more water will lead to higher metabolism due to the energy needed to process water
Eating a higher protein diet – can increase the energy needed to digest food. Also, protein has fewer calories compared to fats.
High-fiber foods are hard to digest and lead to fewer glucose spikes than processed foods.
The following change will help to avoid slowing of metabolism due to diet:
- Eating at least 2 meals a day
- Avoid prolonged periods of fasting
- Increase water intake
- Avoid processed foods
- Eat higher fiber foods
- Eat foods higher in protein
This is a short list of medications that can change metabolism or lipid distribution leading to weight gain:
- amitriptyline
- nortriptyline
- imipramine
- desipramine
- dosulepin
- doxepin
- clomipramine
- paroxetine
- citalopram
- fluoxetine
- sertraline
- amisulpiride
- quietiapine
- risperidone
- sertindole
- clozapine
- olanzapine
- gabapentine
- pregabalin
- valproate
- carbamazepine
- Steroids
During menopause, multiple changes happen in the hormonal cycle. But one that affects metabolism most is testosterone.
Lower testosterone leads to slower BMR.
At lower BMR, our capacity to burn calories decreases, leading to weight gain.
In a person with hypothyroidism – metabolism tends to be lower.
In-person with hyperthyroidism, metabolism tends to be higher.
We need our thyroid(TSH) in the healthy range (above 0.4 and below 2)
Thyroid receptors are in all parts of the body. T4 is converted to T3 ( active form ) in tissues and acts on thyroid receptors.
Activation of thyroid receptors leads to multiple physiological effects. – in skeletal muscle, fat tissue, liver, brain, heart, and multiple other areas.
Normal thyroid function is essential for all physiological functions to happen optimally.
Using a technology called indirect calorimetry.
This measures how much oxygen you are taking in and carbon dioxide you are exhaling to give a value called RQ – or respiratory quotient.
From this data and other tests we do in our office, you can get a detailed report of your metabolism.
Our metabolism assessment is part of the Fitwell Program, or can be purchased separately.
