Jam packed with vital information for anyone who is serious about really getting healthy and maintaining a healthy weight.  This is not a fad diet but is an education for a lifetime of maintaining optimal health. 

This course is for people who are tired of diets that deprive, or worse yet:  yo-yo diets where you lose weight only to gain it back.  It is for people who are tired of conflicting information about the “right diet”, or are wary of the latest fad diets, or are wondering if that famous diet program really works or is it just a great advertising campaign?  (hint:  it is just a great advertising campaign) 

Are you tired of feeling tired, foggy headed, moody and just not your best?  Do you struggle with carb or sugar cravings, energy crashes, hypoglycemia, or hormonal imbalances?  Has your doctor said that you need to lose weight, do something about your cholesterol, or get your blood sugar under control?

This program is for you. 

You can expect improvement in or resolution of:

• Hyperglycemia
• Diabetes
• Cholesterol ratio & triglycerides
• Hypoglycemia
• Mood swings / inappropriate moods
• Brain Fog
• Low or irregular energy
• Food Cravings / Carb addiction
• Inflammation (the precursor to all chronic disease)
• PMS, PCOS, most other menstrual issues
• Excess weight & Fat

Transitions is not a quick fix, but is an education about food, nutrition, your unique biochemistry and metabolism that you can apply for the rest of your life.  And most importantly, the research says it works!  People who stick to this program lose both fat and inches, improve their metabolism and energy, reduce their risk factors for inflammation and chronic disease, balance their hormones and best of all, they MAINTAIN their results, for a lifetime. 

Please take a look around the Transitions web pages to get a feel for the program and the amazing support structure. (see next paragraph for link)

(Transitions is temporarily having trouble with the web portal linked to my account. For the time being, if you would like to check out the Transitions Web tool with fully functional links, please click HERE to go to the generic website. Please DO NOT create an account from this website. If you do, it will not be linked to my account and I will not be able to track your progress during our class.) There are links at the bottom of this page that will take you to my portal so you can get signed up on the website or order products.

A Letter From Doctor Becky:
I am very excited to introduce the Transitions Lifestyle program to you!  This program is a diet program, of sorts.  It is a training course for how to eat and live healthy.  Unlike most other “diet” programs I have seen, this program is 100% healthy and sustainable.  There is no cutting or counting calories, or fat grams, no elimination of whole food groups (except for junk foods, most of the time).  It is an abundant, ultimately flexible eating and lifestyle plan.  Since there is no deprivation, there never needs to be any “going off” the program.  Once you learn this system, you can follow it the rest of your life. 

The core of the program is a low glycemic index approach to eating.  The goal is to keep blood sugar and insulin levels as stable as possible.  In the course we will teach you everything you need to know about selecting foods that help you meet this goal.  We will discuss why other diets have failed you, what causes weight gain after dieting (you will be surprised!), sugar and sweeteners, “good” vs. “bad” carbs and fats, reading labels, exercise, eating out, supplements, and how to make this program a lifestyle instead of a short term diet. 

Some of the things that make this system so exciting to me are:

• It is a complete system:  It is not just a list of what you can and cannot eat.  This system not only provides diet training, but also lifestyle, behavior modification, exercise, and supplementation. 
• Education for Life: You will learn the most up to date information available on nutrition and the biochemistry of metabolism.  For most people, this course will be a real “myth busters” for everything you thought you knew about losing weight.  For example:  did you know that the WORST thing you can do if you want to lose fat long term is to decrease your calories and increase exercise?
• Reduced risk factors for all chronic diseases: Following this style of eating actually has a major impact on your health.  Keeping blood sugar and insulin stable will lead to a decrease in inflammation and pain, more balanced hormones, improvements in triglycerides, and cholesterol.  All that adds up to vastly lower risk of heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancers as well as leading to an improvement in mood, energy and hormone balance.   And probably the best side effect of all:  improved body composition with less fat and more muscle which means improved metabolism.  This leads to not just weight loss, but FAT loss that is sustainable. 
• The support tools are phenomenal:  the website is an amazing resource for tracking your progress, journaling, meal and menu planning (it even gives you the ability to design menus around food sensitivities, and gives you a shopping list!), exercise planning, supplements, etc. The DVD series will allow you to review any subjects you want in the future, and helps get you back on track. 
• The research shows that it works!  The research behind this program is the best that I have seen.  Not only is the theoretical framework on which it is based solid, the outcome results are excellent.  Most big name weight loss programs (NutriSystem, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc) have very, very low success rates, especially when follow up studies are done a year or more later. 

That’s just why I am excited about Transitions.  Now, for YOU. 

In addition to all the amazing information and resources you get with this course, you get to take this course with TWO naturopathic doctors.  This means that we can further individualize the program for you, help you with any deeper issues of metabolism or health challenges you may have, as well as offering you additional support when you go thru the process of breaking the sugar habit (the biggest challenge for most of us).   While insurance plans do not cover the Transitions classes or support materials, most insurance companies should cover any office visits you would like to have with Dr. Mona or myself to explore any deeper issues of metabolism, pre & post lab testing, or other health challenges you may have.
