Lose Weight & Beat the Belly Fat with Our Vancouver Weight Loss Program
Do you want that Hollywood bod, but don’t have hours and hours to spend at the gym each day? With the Healthy and Active weight loss program through West Vancouver Wellness Centre, you can activate your body’s natural fat-burning, slimming potential.
Based on the latest scientific research, the Healthy and Active weight loss program restores metabolism, balances hormones and activates the immune system to help you keep the weight off — for good! We will balance your nutrition, metabolism and hormones to make the time you do spend exercising actually pay off.
Stubborn Belly Fat?
As one part of the program, we will match specific foods to meet the needs of your unique metabolic rate and hormone levels. You may be surprised to learn that belly fat can actually release hormones that make it harder to burn off fat, creating a cycle that is hard to break. Through hormone testing and regulation, we can help ensure that this time, the weight stays off.

Step 1: Detoxify
To detoxify your body, we will complete a comprehensive assessment to determine your true health status, including muscle mass, body fat, level of hydration, basal metabolic rate, toxicity and waist-to-hip ratio. We will use the most accurate lab tests to learn your individual nutrition, hormone and anti-inflammation levels. After two weeks, you should feel and look better as you follow our nutrition guidelines, detoxify and reduce your inflammation.
Step 2: Balance
You will receive a customized nutrition plan and learn how to choose foods that work best for your body’s unique biochemistry, based on test results indicating your metabolism, hormones and food allergies. We will use acupuncture, key nutritional supplements, herbs and natural hormone replacements that work to rebalance your mind and body.
Step 3: Rejuvenate
We will help you discover the importance of natural skin care in order to help you look radiant and feel your very best. West Vancouver Wellness Centre will help you optimize your results with fat-burning exercises and strength training. You will also learn specific tools and techniques to help you cope with the ups and downs that may have worked against your weight loss efforts in the past.

It’s also a safe, effective way to detoxify your body.

Generally, the program is completed over 8 to 10 weeks. This also depends on your starting weight; people 20 kilograms over weight should plan for 6 to 12 months.
