Weight loss has long been associated with the simple formula of eating less and exercising more. However, for individuals who struggle with losing weight despite their efforts or gain weight quickly, underlying health problems may be causing hindrances. Health Utah, a wellness clinic, highlights the importance of overcoming health issues before focusing on weight loss.
Angie Ehrenzweig’s journey serves as a prime example. While she eventually lost 100 lbs in one year, her initial progress was slow due to several health conditions. When she sought help from Health Utah, Angie was dealing with fibromyalgia, extreme fatigue, insulin resistance, depression, systemic inflammation, and metabolic syndrome.
At Health Utah, Angie underwent a specialized scan conducted by Dr. Whit Roberts, D.C. The scan provided an immediate overview of her physiology, stress levels, fatigue, and other factors. The scan revealed various physiological challenges, leaving Angie astonished by the detailed insights it provided. She believes she wouldn’t have gained as much knowledge about her health condition even after multiple blood tests and an MRI.
Prior to each appointment at Health Utah, patients complete a proprietary questionnaire developed by Dr. Roberts over his 28 years of experience and research. The questionnaire helps identify additional health problems that may contribute to difficulties in losing weight. The results of the scan and the questionnaire often correlate perfectly, guiding Dr. Roberts during the 40-minute consultation and evaluation.
Armed with the comprehensive information gathered, Dr. Roberts prescribed a personalized protocol for Angie’s health care and weight loss journey. Fortunately, most of the time, his protocols address all the identified challenges. By the end of her care, Angie was relieved from debilitating pain, chronic fatigue, depression, inflammation, and swelling in her legs.
These improvements indicated that serious health concerns like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome had been effectively resolved. Health Utah emphasizes that resolving underlying health issues, such as insulin resistance, is crucial to achieving sustainable weight loss.
When addressing conditions like insulin resistance, Health Utah utilizes specific protocols tailored to each individual. Dr. Roberts explains that insulin resistance occurs when receptors on the cell surface undergo changes, preventing insulin from attaching. Consequently, glucose, as the cell’s fuel, fails to enter the cell and remains in the bloodstream. The body then converts this excess sugar into fat, resulting in weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
Addressing insulin resistance requires a multifaceted approach. Health Utah employs various techniques, including herbs to support liver detoxification, supplements to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels, and therapies like infrared red light and heat therapy to increase the production of the enzyme AMP. Additionally, inflammatory response-lowering herbs and the elimination of inflammatory foods from the diet are recommended. Health Utah also suggests occasional fasting to enhance the insulin receptors’ receptiveness.
Health Utah advises individuals who wish to embark on their own health and weight loss journey to schedule an appointment for testing, evaluation, and consultation. The clinic sets aside over an hour for comprehensive assessments and charges a small fee of $59 prior to the appointment to discourage no-shows.
As a special offer, Health Utah provides their most popular weight loss package at $59 for two people, allowing friends or family members to embark on a shared health and weight loss journey. The package includes testing, a 17-page report, a proprietary survey, and a consultation with Dr. Roberts. The scan alone is typically priced at $300 for an individual.
