The Prana Plan
Why is it so difficult to lose weight and why do most diets fail? Isn’t it interesting that we are witnessing an epidemic rise in obesity, despite our paramount efforts as a nation to combat this crisis?
Up until this point you may have tried several methods of losing weight from measuring food, to adding up points, from restricting certain foods, to eating food out of packages. The fact is, there are many different reasons why people hold on to weight including:
- Medical conditions, such as a thyroid problem
- Stress which will cause an increase in your cortisol levels, which will cause you to hold onto unwanted pounds
- Insulin resistance or patterns of hypoglycemia
- Dysbiosis or gut problems
- Toxicity build up and certain medications which will cause congestion in your pathways of elimination
- Allergies (food or otherwise)
- Emotional disturbances
The Prana Plan is successful because we thoroughly analyze ALL of the obstacles that may be blocking you from achieving your goal. We utilize a number of methods to help you with these life style changes, because that’s what they are, life style changes. I know you’re here because you may have tried numerous methods and you may feel as if you’ve failed, but I’m here to tell you, you have not failed, our current SAD (Standard American Diet) has failed you.
The Prana Plan includes:
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is used to unblock the energy that is stuck allowing your Qi to flow unimpeded, thus accessing your deeper levels of vitality as well as working with the body-mind connection. The Prana Plan basis the acupuncture point selection on your personal constitution, as well as proven points to help with cravings, addiction, stress support, or whatever we determine to be some your underlying causes. Sensitive to needles? Don’t worry, we have non-needle techniques for those with needle sensitivities.
Herbs: We prepare you a custom herbal weight loss formula which is specifically catered to your physiology.

Supplements: The Prana Plan constructs your supplement needs based on your lab results. This eliminates unnecessary supplementation while giving your body exactly what it needs at the moment. The Prana Plan is interested in results and therefore we use the highest quality supplements available. You wouldn’t put the cheapest gas in your Ferrarri, we wouldn’t put the cheapest supplements in you.
