Our 7 Essential Elements™ to Weight Loss
and Weight Management

The Institute of Lifestyle & Weight Management provides an innovative solution to the problem of obesity through its system of 7 Essential Elements™. Together, the 7 Essential Elements™ create a powerful combination of positive health practices that empower individuals to manage their weight and live healthier lives.

Teamwork & Technology™

ILWM’s Teamwork & Technology™ approach supports each member’s weight loss goals through interaction with integrated teams of healthcare and lifestyle professionals who provide personalized care in a high-tech environment designed specifically for combating obesity. Our uniquely coordinated system is focused on a defined disease management plan that is reinforced through a proprietary patient management information system.

Positive Practice

Positive Practice gives individuals the tools to manage his or her environment physically, mentally, and socially through weight loss consultations, weight management classes, literature, face-to-face meetings and other interpersonal contact. ILWM challenges negative behaviors and aligns the understanding of positive health practices with permanent behaviors.

Education

Our Educational approach plays a vital role in the success of consistent and meaningful behavior modification. ILWM empowers members through classes, lectures, and one-on-one consultation to give them the self confidence and knowledge to make informed health care decisions and to take greater control of their weight & lives.

Proper Nutrition

Our approach to Proper Nutrition teaches not only what we should eat, but provides daily practices and tools that encourage us to do so: mindset modifications, nutritious menus, cooking techniques, time management tips, and even grocery shopping tips. Our state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen is the ideal environment in which to learn and internalize healthy dietary practices.

Daily Statistics

ILWM’s Statistics model is an innovative mutual participation system that helps patients take the steps needed to monitor their vital health statistics and progress towards goals. Daily progress is monitored through a proprietary online tracking system that keeps members connected to caregivers at all times.

Physician Checkups

Our extensive Physician Checkups ensure proper management of each member’s personal health program. Overweight and obesity are often associated with hypertension, diabetes and other disease—conditions that can only be detected and treated through physical exams and cutting-edge diagnostic tests. Checkups also give members regular opportunities to talk privately with their physician.

Exercise

Exercise helps keep our heart healthy and our body in optimal physical condition. The benefits of a sound exercise program, if consistently adhered to, are unmistakable. Each member will follow an exercise prescription designed specifically for them based on current health conditions.
