About Obesity

Despite the 'norm' and the stereotypes, it is a condition you can overcome!
 
There is so much information available on obesity that it's actually confusing and difficult for most folks to discern what is good and useful, and what is not. There is no shortage of so-called “fixes” for the epidemic of obesity in our society. It's a social obsession that feeds a multi-billion dollar industry. Much of what folks are told is actually more about sales and marketing than resolving the base causes for this condition. 
 
If you look at the long-term results of most weight reduction programs it's obvious they're usually not permanent. That's not to say you can't get results in the short-term, but the challenge isn't just in taking off the weight. The real challenge is in keeping it off. It's amazing that everyone knows this, and yet no one seems to be asking the question—why is that? 
 
The answer, like so many we deal with here at The Better Life Institute, is that people are so focused on the symptoms of the problem that they never get around to solving the actual cause. You need to first understand that poor diet and a lack of exercise are symptoms, not the root cause of Obesity. However, almost every weight reduction program available focuses entirely on diet and exercise. We know there are very specific reasons for behavior, and that some folks tend to live a lifestyle more conducive to weight gain and retention. These reasons don't begin with diet and exercise, but may result in their abuse. Therefore, if they are all you address, your results are always short-term. 

How is the Better Life Institute different from other weight-reduction programs? 

At The Better Life Institute we don't just focus on the symptoms, and we don't just give you a new diet or exercise plan. 

We could just educate you on the best diet and exercise for your weight loss goals and work you ragged over your time with us and we would no doubt help you lose weight and give you a good start on getting your health back. However, if we don't go deeper, in order for you to maintain your weight loss, you would have to remain forever motivated and self-disciplined. The truth is that no one is motivated and disciplined all the time. It is simply an unrealistic expectation for most of us.
 
The odds are you've already tried that approach, anyway.
 
So, while we do set you on a path to healthier living, we go much deeper. We actually help you dig under and identify the roots to your current behavior and then resolve those issues. When you do it will amaze you how naturally new behaviors are created and maintained. 
 
Through our whole-body approach we will help you create a new normal that will stick.
