Why Choose Step Ahead?
Individualized Plans Tailored to Your Lifestyle:
Our team of experts use advanced tools like bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure your personal body composition, providing precise insights into your basal metabolic rate and overall health profile. This data allows us to create a unique plan tailored to your body, medical history, and goals. By meeting you where you are, we craft a program that aligns with your lifestyle and delivers effective, realistic results.
Nutrition Counseling and Behavioral Support:
We know that nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our registered dietitian works closely with you to develop an attainable and realistic nutrition plan that fits your life while optimizing weight loss results. Together, you’ll focus on building sustainable habits that stick for the long term, helping you break free from yo-yo dieting and fad diet cycles.
Medical Expertise and Supervised Weight Loss:
Our program incorporates the latest in weight loss science, offering safe, FDA-approved GLP-1 injectable or oral medications, and appetite suppressants when appropriate. However, patients are not required to use weight loss medications to participate in the Step Ahead program. Whether or not medications are part of your plan, our focus is on creating a personalized approach that aligns with your needs and goals. With close medical supervision, we ensure your health and safety remain a top priority throughout your journey.
