Nutrition/Health Counseling
Our WOW team offers nutritional counseling and health coaching, providing essential guidance for adopting healthy eating habits that complement exercise and weight loss medications. Through meticulous analysis using various diagnostic tools to establish baseline data, we craft personalized weight loss plans. Our ultimate goal is to empower patients to optimize metabolic health, achieve sustainable weight loss, and enhance overall health safely and effectively.
Weight Loss Medication
GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepetide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) aid in appetite reduction and enhance feelings of fullness. Prior to starting the medication, we’ll discuss the benefits and potential risks with you. Since individual responses to medications vary, dosing will be personalized to suit your needs. You’ll receive clear instructions, and we offer direct distribution of medications. Additionally, if you prefer, we can administer the weekly injections in our clinic.
At Wasatch Optimal Wellness, we’re more than just about shedding pounds; we’re about empowering you to take control of your health. Our program is designed to support you on your journey to lasting wellness.
VO2 Max Testing
VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, is a crucial measure of an individual’s aerobic fitness level. It represents the maximum amount of oxygen that a person can utilize during intense exercise, providing valuable insights into their cardiovascular health and endurance capacity. At our clinic, VO2 max testing is utilized to tailor exercise regimens precisely to each patient’s needs. By understanding your VO2 max, we can determine the optimal intensity with target heart rate zones, for training and duration of exercise for you, maximizing the effectiveness of your workouts.
Resting Metabolic Rate Analysis
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) analysis, reveals the number of calories your body burns while at rest. This information is instrumental in designing a personalized nutrition plan that aligns with your energy requirements and weight loss goals. By calculating your RMR, we can determine your individualized target caloric intake and macronutrient ratios, empowering you to make informed dietary choices and achieve sustainable weight loss results.
DEXA
Our cutting-edge DEXA scan and performance software offers an in-depth assessment of your body composition, providing detailed insights into bone density, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage. This comprehensive analysis serves as a valuable baseline for your weight loss journey, enabling us to monitor progress and adjust your plan accordingly. By tracking changes in muscle mass, fat distribution, and bone density over time, we can personalize your exercise regimen and optimize your nutrition plan for maximum effectiveness. Combined with other diagnostic tools, such as VO2 max testing and bloodwork, the data from your DEXA scan forms the foundation of a holistic weight loss strategy.
Bloodwork
Bloodwork is a vital component of our diagnostic toolkit, offering valuable insights into the overall health of our patients. Through comprehensive blood tests, we assess factors such as cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and hormone levels. This information is invaluable in identifying any underlying health conditions that may be impacting weight management or complicating weight loss efforts. By uncovering these potential contributors, we can develop targeted strategies to address them, optimizing your journey towards better health and sustained weight loss success. Labs will be monitored throughout your weight loss journey to track progress and ensure improvement.
