This is a story about a man who transformed his body through intense physical training and a strict diet. He started with a weak physique and gradually built up his strength and muscle mass. His dedication to his fitness journey was unwavering, and he achieved remarkable results.
A host of health problems followed including muscle atrophy, weight gain, fatigue and poor digestion. These ailments combined to compromise his healing.

Despite all his efforts, his health was not improving and no matter what he did he couldn’t lose his excess weight. That’s when he and Tina visited Dr. Whit Roberts at Health Utah. They were pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of the program.There was no cutting calories, no counting calories, no counting macros, no cutting out whole categories of food. There was no gorging on meat or fat. There were no fads.
2. Develop a sustainable and personalized weight loss plan. 3. Implement and maintain the plan consistently.
Even the best weight loss programs miss this very important component. Thirty years of experience have proven to Roberts how critical this is. One example of this was his patient, Ashley. Although she ate clean and worked out every day for an hour at the gym, she couldn’t lose an ounce. She also struggled with anxiety, depression and migraines. Through their proprietary methods, the practitioners at Health Utah identified corn as inflammatory to her body and instructed her to eliminate it from her diet. The result was that the weight started dropping, the migraines, anxiety and depression all resolved. “This might sound like an isolated example but virtually everyone develops sensitivities to foods during periods of stress in their lives,” Roberts says. “It’s just difficult to recognize it because these kinds of sensitivities don’t always cause stomach pain but cause things like fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and stubborn weight. The other surprising thing is that normally health foods like broccoli or bananas can be the culprits. The point is, these must often be identified and either resolved or eliminated from the diet before effective weight loss can occur.”
This is a survival mechanism that evolved to help us find and consume food in times of scarcity. **Elaboration:**
* **Evolutionary Perspective:** Our ancestors faced constant threats of starvation and had to be highly efficient in finding and consuming food. This led to a preference for high-calorie, easily digestible foods, which provided quick energy bursts.
The program provided a comprehensive approach to weight loss, encompassing nutrition, exercise, and behavioral therapy. It offered personalized plans tailored to individual needs and preferences. The program’s success was attributed to its focus on long-term lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes.
