It’s not just about weight loss; it’s about health gain
Not all weight loss is healthy. GLP-1 medications are becoming hugely popular for weight loss but they offer only a part of the solution. That’s why Metabolize takes an integrative lifestyle approach to ensure lasting results.

Retain More Muscle Mass
Maintained muscle means that you burn more calories both at rest and during exercise.
Lose More Fat
Patients in our pilot study lost twice as much body fat and also saw an average visceral fat reduction of 34%.
Manage Symptoms
Our team of experts can teach you how to effectively manage your diet to minimize the impact of common side effects
Better Results
Losing weight can mean losing muscle and bone mass, slowing metabolism and making weight regain easier. But with the right exercise and nutrition approach, these issues can be minimized. In a 32-week study, Metabolize patients lost twice as much body fat and only half the lean mass compared to clinical trials. They also cut visceral fat by 34%, a key indicator of metabolic health measured by a total body DEXA scan
Real Results
Members on the Metabolize program for 32 weeks lost an average of 21% of their body fat and 34% of their visceral fat. Individual results may vary
