Get Unstuck

Ever wonder why you lose weight only to gain it all back? Or why you wake up more tired than when you went to sleep? Or why you eat more when you’re anxious?

It’s questions like these that can make us feel hopeless or discouraged—making us doubt our abilities or convincing us to think that we’re incapable of achieving happiness. The sad thing is, often, there’s a voice inside our heads that agrees.

And that’s why we’re so glad that you’ve found us!

We want to help you understand that the inner critic is wrong. You were born to thrive.

We empower our clients by allowing them to see they are more powerful than their genes or their past. By doing this, clients are equipped with the tools to take control of their lives.

We are not here to shame you—or push fad diet plans on you. The staff at Zoe are here to help you, wherever you are in your journey, and to offer you the support, education, and encouragement you need to succeed.

If you are suffering from obesity, our M.D. is certified in obesity medicine and our team offers specialized care tailored to your unique needs.

Lifestyle Medicine

What is Lifestyle Medicine?

Lifestyle Medicine is the medical approach that incorporates evidence-based strategies promoting positive changes in sleep, nutrition, physical activity, relationship skills and stress management. It allows you to manage lifestyle-based chronic diseases better and, in some cases, experience remission and/or eliminate your reliance on medication.  These diseases include diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver, Crohn’s Disease and even some forms of cancer, among many others.

Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine

Achieving optimal health requires addressing the underlying causes of your chronic illness rather than solely relying on medications. Lifestyle Medicine focuses on six key areas that can significantly improve your symptoms or reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases. Your healthcare provider will partner with you on which pillars are most important to you and can be optimized. You will play an active role in all pillars.

Nutrition

Figuring out how, when, and what to eat while trying to meet wellness goals can feel impossible. Together, we'll find the right plan for you!

Movement

Physical activity is an important part of your wellness routine. Learn how to move your body in ways that are safe, fun, energizing and sustainable!

Stress Management

With Lifestyle Medicine, you will practice coping mechanisms that reduce tension and stress and lower your blood pressure.

Restorative Sleep

Sufficient sleep is the foundation of health. It is integral to every function of the brain and body. Learn how to optimize yours.

Substance Misuse

Avoiding feelings by overusing things like TV and social media, as well as substances such as alcohol, tobacco or drugs can contribute to chronic disease. Learn how to connect instead of avoid.

Healthy Connections

A strong positive social network by your side along your journey to good health is essential. Develop quality, supportive relationships.

Our Process

What To Expect When You Visit

Getting To Know You

Complete the special purpose questionnaires assessing areas of your life such as: relationships, sleep, movement, and nutrition. This gives us insight into changes needed to manage your condition.

Health Assessment

Our doctor and nutritionist conduct a detailed assessment of your health. This may include lab work, body composition, resting metabolic rate (RMR) and EKG.

Taking The Next Step

Before you leave, you’ll be scheduled for a visit with a health coach, 10 weeks of group coaching, and yoga therapy as indicated. Together with you, we create an individualized plan based on your body and your goals.

Support Along The Way

You aren’t alone! You will work with an RN certified health coach, a nutritionist, and a doctor as often as needed to help keep you on your individualized plan.

Better Mood, Better Health, Better Relationships

The path to wellness is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires attention to both your mental wellbeing and physical health. And many times, they’re directly connected.
