FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Real Solutions to Weight Management in South Okanagan
New Health and Wellness Program That May Be Covered by Extended Health Benefits
Summerland, BC., February 13, 2011— Renowned local health practitioners, Julie Patan, BSc PT – Registered Physiotherapist; Lisa Hallquist, BCRPA – Personal Fitness Trainer; and Jacquie Bird, BHEc RD – Registered Dietitian, have announced the commencement of a new and unique service to be formally known as the REAL Solutions…Weight Management Program.
This healthy lifestyle plan is designed to be the most comprehensive weight management program in the south Okanagan, covering all aspects of the wellness of participants. The holistic approach includes expert nutritional consultation, personalized musculoskeletal evaluations and customized fitness planning. Based on the initial assessment of their clients, the team provides individualized guidelines and recommendations designed to improve each client’s overall health.
“We recommend that all participants get their physician’s approval before beginning the program,” notes Lisa Hallquist. “It is very exciting that this program may be partially covered under the participant’s extended health benefits as a physiotherapy visit.” Julie Patan went on to explain the importance and effectiveness of integrating their services together for best possible results. “Jacquie’s in-depth one-on-one dietary consultations are complimented by Lisa’s fitness programming and my comprehensive physical assessments - all working together to chart a path for our clients’ success.”
The 60-day program also includes weekly support meetings, food and fitness journaling, group workouts and responsive email support. Further distinguishing this program is the utilization of the MedGem handheld calorimeter for accurately evaluating resting metabolic rate. The device that gained notoriety on a popular weight loss reality show, is an invaluable tool of the program in establishing a baseline for each individual. Also of note, there are no additional supplements or vitamins to buy and no prepackaged food involved.
“Our overall goal is for the client to learn and maintain healthy eating habits and exercise for life,” stated Lisa Hallquist.
