General FAQs
No. The membership program is offered at 4, 8, and 12-month commitment options with considerable discounts on visits and services. However, once established as qualifying, you can also choose to book services a la carte.
No. Benehealth is a Functional Medicine specialty clinic and therefore does not provide primary care services. Benehealth works closely with prescribing providers (PCP and/or specialists) to provide management of chronic health conditions.
Often this is the case, but your PCP must remain your primary point person for medication management of chronic conditions. We can only be the primary point person for the management of bioidentical hormone and thyroid medications. Benehealth practitioners collaborate with your primary care provider and can assist in the prescription reduction and de-prescription as indicated.
Sometimes, but our services are payable by cash or credit only at this time. We can provide a superbill so you can submit it to your insurance provider for reimbursement of any services your plan may cover. Reimbursement varies and is dependent on each unique insurer and plan selected. There is no guarantee for reimbursement of the service fee.
Medical services and products – such as supplementation – are eligible expenses for health spending accounts (HSAs). Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) guidelines vary slightly from HSA guidelines, but many would still qualify medical services as eligible expenses. If you have questions, please contact your insurance, HSA, or FSA provider for further information.
Yes. We accept the CareCredit credit card to help pay for your health, wellness, and radiance goals. It’s time to make your health a priority.

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of diseases rather than merely treating symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine which often relies on medications to suppress symptoms, functional medicine utilizes a holistic approach, looking at the patient's lifestyle, environmental exposures, genetic predispositions, and bodily systems to devise personalized treatment plans.
Functional medicine recognizes that low energy can result from various factors like hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, poor gut health, chronic infections, or stress. By addressing these root causes through dietary changes, supplements, stress management techniques, and other interventions, many individuals experience significant improvements in energy levels. Learn more about low energy and fatigue.
Yes, functional medicine practitioners may recommend a combination of herbal supplements, lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and biofeedback or mindfulness techniques to help improve sleep quality and address insomnia. Factors like hormonal imbalances, stress, or even certain foods can contribute to sleep disturbances. At Benehealth, we dive deep to look at the root-causes of sleep disorders. Learn more about Sleep Problems.
Gut health is central to functional medicine. By assessing for food sensitivities, microbial imbalances, and digestive enzyme deficiencies, personalized treatment plans may include probiotics, specific diets like low FODMAP or gluten-free, and other interventions to restore a balanced gut flora and improve digestion. Our gut health experts know how to identify root-cause of gut dysbiosis and provide a comprehensive and personal treatment plan. Learn more about gut health.
Absolutely. Functional medicine investigates potential thyroid issues, adrenal health, hormone imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies that could be affecting metabolism through a root-cause approach. No two people are the same, so it is imperative to create personalized treatments including dietary changes, targeted supplements, and strategies to optimize metabolic function. Learn more about hormone balance.
Yes. Hormonal imbalances are addressed by identifying underlying causes such as stress, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, poor diet, or other factors. Treatments can include dietary changes, herbal supplements, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, and lifestyle modifications to restore balance. Learn more about hormone balance.
Functional medicine delves deep into the reasons behind weight challenges—whether it's hormonal imbalances, inflammation, genetic factors, or gut health issues. By addressing these root causes and optimizing body functions, individuals are often better equipped to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Our program helps you every step of the way, so not only do you lose weight…you gain tremendous, long-lasting health. Learn more about healthy weight loss.
Yes, personalization is at the core of functional medicine. Based on comprehensive assessments, treatments are tailored to the individual's unique needs and health situation. We specialize in gut health, inflammation, metabolic issues, and healthy weight, but work with a myriad of other health concerns. The body is interconnected and likely your symptoms are as well.
Diet and lifestyle play pivotal roles in functional medicine. Many chronic symptoms can be traced back to dietary imbalances, lack of physical activity, chronic stress, poor gut health, and sleep issues. Identifying the root-cause and adjusting these factors often alleviates many chronic complaints. Learn more about our Lifestyle Program.
Chronic inflammation is seen as a root cause of many illnesses in functional medicine. By identifying inflammatory triggers like specific foods, toxins, or infections, and recommending anti-inflammatory diets, supplements, and other interventions, functional medicine can help reduce inflammation and its associated symptoms. We have an in depth onboarding process called the BH IQ Assessment which has functional medicine practitioner oversight, and we also offer the BH Lifestyle which is support from a nutritionist and health coach.
Functional medicine often employs comprehensive thyroid testing, including TSH, Free T4, Free T3, and thyroid antibodies. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of thyroid health. Treatment could involve dietary changes, supplements, or even low-dose thyroid medications. Most importantly, to better understand the thyroid it is necessary to review all body systems and get to the root cause of thyroid dysfunction. Learn more about hormone balance.
Yes, functional medicine seeks to identify triggers of autoimmune reactions, which can be dietary, environmental, or infectious. By removing these triggers and supporting the immune system, many individuals see improvements or even remissions in their autoimmune conditions. Treatments are geared to improve your immune system overall. Learn more about immune support.
Detoxification is crucial in functional medicine. Approaches might include dietary protocols, specific supplements to support liver function, and interventions like infrared saunas or detox baths to aid in toxin elimination. Gaining an understanding of what may be posing threats to your health is a first step in correcting through detoxification.
Functional medicine often utilizes specialized testing like comprehensive stool analyses, food sensitivity tests, detailed hormone panels, organic acid tests, urine and saliva hormone testing, DNA/genetic tests and more to get a clear picture of a patient's health status. Learn more about how we approach testing.
While functional medicine takes an individualized approach, many of its treatments are grounded in scientific research. Practitioners stay updated with the latest research and apply evidence-based practices in their treatments.
Functional Medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness rather than just treating symptoms. It uses a holistic approach that considers genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors, while conventional medicine often treats symptoms using medications or surgeries. At Benehealth, we aim to restore balance in the body, mind, and spirit to promote overall health and well-being. We help you heal yourself by understanding who you are and what is holding you back from your healthiest you in body, mind, and spirit.
Functional Medicine can treat a wide range of chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, gut issues, chronic fatigue, thyroid disorders, and more. Benehealth specializes in personalized care, addressing the unique health challenges of each individual to optimize long-term wellness. We also focus on healthy weight and GLP-1 (Ozempic) tapering. We help you get an incredible immune system through identifying root-cause of your biochemistry and epigenetics affecting your health.
At Benehealth, we perform advanced testing that goes beyond standard lab work, including comprehensive blood panels, hormone testing, gut microbiome analysis, food sensitivity tests, and genetic screenings. These tests help uncover underlying imbalances and guide personalized treatment plans.
The timeline for results varies depending on the individual and their condition. Some people may see improvements in a few weeks, while others might take several months to experience significant changes. At Benehealth, we work closely with our patients to monitor progress and adjust plans as needed. We recommend a minimum of 6-12 month membership to ensure a healthy, sustainable you.
At Benehealth, your journey begins with our comprehensive BH IQ On-boarding process, which spans 6-8 weeks and includes several appointments. This process allows us to fully understand the whole you—your medical history, lifestyle, diet, and current health concerns. During the consultation, our practitioners will conduct an in-depth review and work closely with you to create a personalized care plan. This plan may include diagnostic testing, dietary recommendations, supplements, and lifestyle changes tailored to your unique health needs, ensuring that all aspects of your well-being are addressed.
Functional Medicine services are generally not covered by insurance, as most plans do not accommodate the in-depth visits, health coaching, and nutrition support that Functional Medicine offers. However, some labs and tests may be eligible for reimbursement. At Benehealth, we accept FSA, HSA, Care Credit, and offer flexible payment plans to make our services more accessible. Additionally, our membership options provide the best financial value, offering a comprehensive approach to health and wellness at a reduced overall cost. While we recommend checking with your insurance provider for potential coverage, our membership plans ensure you receive top-quality care in the most cost-effective way.
Yes, Functional Medicine treatments are often safer than conventional approaches because they focus on identifying and correcting the root cause of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. At Benehealth, we prioritize natural therapies, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle modifications that support the body’s natural healing processes. This holistic approach reduces the reliance on medications, lowering the risk of side effects. All treatments are personalized to ensure both safety and effectiveness, promoting long-term wellness by addressing the underlying causes of your health concerns.
Everyone can benefit from having a Functional Medicine practitioner as part of their healthcare team.

Holistic & Regenerative Skin Treatment FAQs
Functional medicine believes in addressing the root causes of health issues, including skin concerns. By optimizing overall health, it creates an environment where regenerative aesthetics yield even more pronounced results. Healthy internal systems support better skin health, faster healing, and enhanced treatment outcomes. Learn more about our holistic approach to aging skin and prevention.
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. PRP Biofiller is an advanced application where the PRP is made into a gel-like consistency, acting as a natural filler. Both procedures rejuvenate the skin by diminishing wrinkles, improving texture, and providing a youthful appearance. Since it's derived from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal.
PDO Threads are absorbable threads that are introduced into the skin to provide lift and tighten sagging tissues. As these threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, providing long-lasting firmness and elasticity. The key to achieving natural, beautiful results with PDO Threads lies in the expertise of skilled Benehealth practitioners, ensuring both safety and efficacy.
While traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries that boost collagen production, Radiofrequency microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy. This energy further enhances collagen and elastin production and tightens the skin. It's particularly effective in treating scars, wrinkles, and skin laxity. However, the procedure's success largely depends on safety-conscious practitioners ensuring the right energy levels and depths are used.
Xeomin is a type of neurotoxin that, like others, temporarily relaxes muscles, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Unique to Xeomin is its formulation, which contains no additives, reducing the risk of autoimmune response adverse reactions and possible resistance (stops working). Skilled Benehealth experts ensure the right dosage and precise application for optimal results.
Medical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to remove the top layers of the skin, promoting regeneration and improving texture and tone. In a functional medicine approach, the overall health of the individual is also taken into account, ensuring that the skin is optimally nourished and prepared for the peel, resulting in better outcomes. Expert Benehealth practitioners ensure the peel is done safely and effectively.
Generally, holistic treatments like PRP and PDO Threads are suitable for a broad range of skin types. However, individual factors like skin health, medical history, and specific concerns play a role. Consulting with skilled Benehealth experts ensures personalized recommendations for the best outcomes.
Good internal health is often reflected in the skin. By ensuring balanced nutrition, hydration, and overall well-being, the skin is better prepared to respond to and heal from aesthetic treatments. Combining this with the expertise of Benehealth practitioners can lead to enhanced results and shorter recovery times. Learn more about the gut-skin axis.
Side effects can include redness, swelling, and minor discomfort. Compared to traditional treatments, Radiofrequency microneedling can have shorter downtime and fewer side effects. However, safety is paramount, and this underscores the importance of relying on safety conscious and skilled Benehealth practitioners for the procedure.
Yes, combining PRP with Radiofrequency microneedling can offer synergistic benefits. While PRP amplifies the body's natural healing and rejuvenation processes, Radiofrequency microneedling tightens and tones the skin. Combining both under the guidance of expert Benehealth practitioners can yield exceptional results.
Remember, while these treatments can offer impressive results, safety and the expertise of practitioners, such as those at Benehealth, are crucial in achieving desired outcomes while minimizing potential risks. Additionally, each person is different so results can vary.

We have single treatment options, discount packages, and our RegenU “Natural Facelift” Program.
At Benehealth, we know that it takes more than one type of treatment to reach long-lasting, age-defying results. That is why we created the RegenU Program, known as the “Natural Facelift”. RegenU is based on your skin needs, desires and overall health. This is hands-down the most affordable way to get multiple, varying regenerative treatments for skin rejuvenation.
A typical package includes several PRP/PRF injection sessions (full face, neck, and scalp), RF Microneedling, IPL and/or HIFU, PDO threads, and BH H2O Medifacials. If you purchase the RegenU package, you will receive discounts on other therapies during your treatment program (e.g. IV therapy, Radiesse, Botox/Xeomin/HA Fillers).
It depends on your skin needs and the treatments your practitioner has identified as best for you. Most clients are in treatment from 4 to 6 months. This is because your skin will need time in-between therapies to start the healing process. Since we are a functional medicine practice, we are also looking at the root cause of your skin condition or identifying ways we can improve the skin from the “inside out”.
It varies depending on the types of treatments identified specifically for you. The typical cost is $3500. You can check out our typical single session prices on our Aesthetic Pricing Tab
Results are dependent on your overall current skin health, physical health, and lifestyle. Since we are leveraging your body’s natural healing process to increase collagen and elastin, it can take 30-90 days for the results to show, however, results can last over 2 years, with some maintenance and an excellent skincare regime.
Yes. We accept the CareCredit credit card to help pay for your health, wellness, and radiance goals. It’s time to make your health a priority.
Benehealth offers a range of natural, holistic aesthetic treatments designed to enhance your skin’s health and beauty using a Functional Medicine approach. Our treatments include PRP/PRF facials to stimulate natural collagen production, neurotoxins like Xeomin (Botox) to smooth fine lines, dermal fillers for natural contouring, RF microneedling to rejuvenate skin texture, laser hair removal for a smoother complexion, and paramedical tattooing for scar camouflage and restoration. By integrating functional medicine principles, we address not only the surface but also the underlying factors affecting skin health, ensuring that your treatments promote true radiance from within.
Aesthetic treatments at Benehealth go beyond surface-level improvements by addressing the underlying factors of skin health. Our treatments are designed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, enhance elasticity, and stimulate natural collagen production for long-lasting, radiant results. PRP/PRF facials and microneedling harness the body’s own regenerative powers to promote a youthful glow and revitalized skin. Neurotoxins like Botox and Xeomin smooth fine lines, while dermal fillers provide natural contouring and volume restoration. These treatments not only rejuvenate your appearance but also support the health and vitality of your skin at a deeper, cellular level.
Yes, all aesthetic treatments at Benehealth are personalized based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Our practitioners take a comprehensive approach, creating treatment plans tailored to enhance your natural beauty and achieve your desired results.
Downtime varies depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive treatments like PRP facials or Xeomin injections usually have little to no downtime, while treatments like RF microneedling may require a few days of recovery. At Benehealth, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
The longevity of results depends on the type of treatment. Neurotoxin injections like Xeomin typically last 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last 6-12 months. Skin rejuvenation treatments like RF microneedling and PRP facials improve over time, with results lasting several months or longer with proper maintenance.
At Benehealth, our top anti-aging aesthetic treatments are tailored to address the unique needs of each client. Among our most popular offerings are PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and exosome stem cell therapies, which use your body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate skin, stimulate collagen, and reduce fine lines. Botox and Xeomin are also highly requested for their effectiveness in smoothing expression lines, while RF microneedling offers advanced skin resurfacing and tightening for a youthful, radiant appearance. These non-invasive treatments allow for visible results without surgery, making them ideal for clients focused on achieving natural-looking results.
Maintaining results after an aesthetic procedure is essential to maximizing the benefits of your treatment. At Benehealth, we recommend following a clean, organic skincare routine with high-quality, practitioner-approved products that nourish your skin without harmful additives. Achieving long-lasting results goes beyond skincare; regular hydration, a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support collagen production, and limited sun exposure play a pivotal role. We also emphasize gut health and stress reduction through lifestyle modifications, as both influence inflammation levels, which can speed up aging. Managing stress with practices such as mindfulness, gentle movement, and a nutrient-dense diet reduces inflammation and helps maintain a radiant, youthful glow. To further support your results, we recommend starting Arnica prior to your procedure and continuing for a week post-procedure, both orally and topically to reduce bruising. For ongoing benefits, periodic maintenance treatments such as PRP touch-ups or Xeomin boosts can sustain the effects. Our aesthetic team is here to provide you with personalized post-care guidance, recommending the best products and follow-up treatments to keep your skin at its healthiest and most vibrant.
Yes, Benehealth offers specialized aesthetic treatments that effectively address both acne and acne scars, providing a comprehensive approach to skin health. Our RF microneedling and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments stimulate collagen production, which can significantly reduce the appearance of scars over time. For more targeted scar revision, we offer cannula scar tissue treatments, which work to break down scar tissue and improve skin texture. Additionally, paramedical tattooing can help camouflage scars by blending them with surrounding skin tones, offering a refined, natural look. For advanced skin rejuvenation, our exosome therapies provide cutting-edge support for cellular repair and skin renewal, enhancing the healing process.
Our customized skincare regimens focus on balancing the skin and preventing future breakouts, combining these treatments with nutritional guidance to address skin health from the inside out. This functional and holistic approach provides a long-term solution for acne concerns, helping clients achieve smoother, healthier, and more resilient skin.
Benehealth provides a variety of non-surgical skin tightening solutions that are highly effective and minimally invasive, catering to clients seeking rejuvenated skin without the downtime of surgery. RF microneedling is a popular choice, using radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen production, resulting in a firmer, smoother appearance. We also offer HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), a cutting-edge treatment that delivers ultrasound energy to targeted layers of the skin, tightening and lifting without any incisions. Additionally, Radiesse Biostimulation provides a collagen boost, helping to restore volume and structure naturally over time.
Our biofiller treatments derived from your own plasma add fullness to areas where volume has diminished, while exosome therapy delivers advanced cellular support to aid in skin repair and rejuvenation. These innovative, non-surgical options are ideal for clients looking to achieve noticeable skin tightening and revitalization with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
Healthy Weight Management FAQs
Eligibility for BH Healthy Weight Management is determined by your practitioner after completing the Benehealth IQ Assessment. If your practitioner recommends the BH Healthy Weight Management program for you, you may either schedule a la carte visits or take advantage of substantial savings and consistent health monitoring by enrolling in the BH Healthy Weight Management Membership plan.
At Benehealth, our personalized healthy weight management programs go beyond the traditional focus on calories or exercise. We understand that weight gain and difficulty losing weight are often rooted in deeper issues such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, chronic stress, and even gut health. Our holistic approach includes nutritional counseling, lifestyle coaching, metabolic testing, and hormone balancing to address the underlying causes of weight gain. By looking at the whole person and focusing on the root causes, we promote sustainable weight loss and long-term overall health, empowering you to achieve your ideal weight in a healthy, balanced way.
At Benehealth, we understand that true health is about more than just weight—it’s about how you feel in your body, both physically and emotionally. Symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, GERD, brain fog, chronic pain, and mood swings are often signs of underlying issues related to metabolic and gut health. These symptoms are not normal and should be addressed. Our team uses advanced body composition analysis, including 3D body imaging, to assess your weight, muscle mass, and overall health. We also perform a panel of specialty lab work to deep dive into your metabolic, hormonal, and gut health, uncovering any hidden imbalances. This comprehensive approach allows us to create a fully customized plan that addresses your unique health, weight management, and emotional well-being, helping you feel your best inside and out.
Nutrition is a cornerstone of healthy weight management at Benehealth, but we recognize that not all nutrition plans or "diets" work for everyone. In fact, most nutritional guidance should be as unique as your genetic code. That's why our Functional Nutritionists and Health Coaches work closely with you to develop a personalized lifestyle and nutrition plan tailored to your specific needs. Our approach supports your metabolic health, hormonal balance, and overall well-being while addressing any underlying issues. This includes stress management, as chronic stress can significantly impact weight and health. With proper nutrition designed just for you, you can achieve and maintain a healthy weight, reduce inflammation, boost energy, and feel your best.
At Benehealth, we emphasize a natural approach to weight loss, prioritizing sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term health. While pharmaceuticals are not our first-line option, we may incorporate natural supplements, peptides, and bioidentical hormones to support metabolism, hormone balance, and fat burning when needed. Our focus is on identifying and addressing the root causes of weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic issues. We also offer natural fat-burning remedies to enhance your weight loss journey without relying on harsh chemicals. Our personalized plans are designed to promote optimal health while achieving your weight loss goals in a safe, effective way.
Stress and health are often part of a vicious cycle—stress can lead to health issues, which in turn cause more stress, significantly impacting every cell in the body. Chronic stress contributes to hormonal imbalances, overeating, and metabolic dysfunction, making weight management even more challenging. At Benehealth, we recognize this cycle and focus on understanding your unique story to help you break free from it. Through a holistic approach that empowers the mind, body, and soul, we offer mindfulness practices, stress reduction techniques, and lifestyle coaching to address the root causes of stress and help you regain control of your health and weight.
Our weight management programs at Benehealth are carefully tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, addressing both physical and mental aspects of weight for sustainable results. The Benehealth Healthy Weight Program includes in-depth functional assessments to understand metabolic health, lifestyle habits, nutrition, and gut health. We incorporate personalized lifestyle coaching, metabolic testing, and tailored diet plans to support healthy weight loss. To enhance metabolic health, we focus on gut healing with specialized GLP-1 probiotics to promote balance and optimize digestion, which plays a crucial role in weight regulation. For clients interested in non-pharmaceutical approaches, we offer GLP-1 tapering programs as well as peptides like semoralin to support metabolism and energy.
Our integrative approach combines these advanced therapies with personalized guidance, addressing the root causes of weight issues and supporting lasting, healthy weight management for each client.
In functional medicine, metabolic rate refers to the speed at which your body converts food and stored energy into fuel for daily activities, including physiological processes like breathing, cell repair, and circulation. Metabolic rate is a critical factor in determining how efficiently your body burns calories, impacting weight loss, maintenance, and overall energy levels. Physiologically, metabolic rate is influenced by various factors, including muscle mass, hormonal balance, gut health, and energy requirements, which can all affect how the body processes and utilizes energy.
At Benehealth, we take a comprehensive approach by using metabolic testing to measure each individual’s metabolic rate. Based on these insights, we develop personalized strategies that boost metabolism through targeted nutrition, specific exercise regimens, and supplements designed to support optimal cellular function. Lifestyle modifications, such as ensuring quality sleep, managing stress, and addressing inflammation, are also essential to improving metabolic efficiency and achieving sustainable weight management, helping clients reach their health goals in a balanced, holistic way.
While genetics can influence factors like metabolism, fat distribution, and food response, lifestyle plays a far greater role in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. At Benehealth, we focus on lifestyle as the cornerstone of successful weight management, recognizing that positive changes in nutrition, movement, stress management, and sleep have a far more significant impact than genetics alone. Our weight management programs are rooted in functional medicine and personalized lifestyle coaching, allowing us to create tailored strategies that align with each client’s unique needs and goals.
With extensive experience and numerous success stories, Benehealth empowers clients to take control of their health through sustainable lifestyle adjustments. By addressing the whole person—rather than relying solely on genetic predispositions—we provide a comprehensive approach that leads to lasting, transformative results.
Lifestyle coaching is a cornerstone of the Benehealth weight management approach. Our coaches work closely with you to build sustainable, healthy habits that fit seamlessly into your life. They offer guidance on nutrition, stress management, exercise routines, and mindset shifts essential for weight management success. Through regular check-ins and ongoing support, our lifestyle coaches help you stay motivated, set achievable goals, and overcome challenges, making healthy living an enjoyable, lasting lifestyle change.
Maintaining your weight after reaching your target is about creating sustainable habits that support long-term health. At Benehealth, we emphasize the importance of a balanced approach that includes mindful nutrition, regular physical activity, and stress management. Here are key strategies to help you maintain your weight successfully:
Prioritize a Balanced, Nutrient-Rich Diet: Focus on whole foods, including lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables, to keep your body fueled and satisfied. Staying hydrated and avoiding processed foods can also help prevent unnecessary weight gain.
Establish a Consistent Exercise Routine: Regular physical activity, including both cardio and strength training, is essential for keeping your metabolism active and maintaining muscle mass, which is important for long-term weight stability.
Manage Stress and Prioritize Sleep: Stress and lack of sleep can disrupt metabolism and lead to weight gain. Incorporate stress-reducing practices like meditation, yoga, or breathing exercises into your routine and aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.
Listen to Your Body and Practice Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues and avoid restrictive eating. Eating mindfully helps prevent overeating and keeps you in tune with your body’s needs.
Stay Accountable: Regular check-ins with a health coach or support group can provide the encouragement and accountability needed to stay on track. At Benehealth, we offer ongoing support and guidance to help you maintain your weight and adapt your plan as needed.
By making these lifestyle changes part of your daily routine, you can enjoy the benefits of a healthy weight and prevent the cycle of losing and regaining weight, setting the foundation for a lifetime of wellness.
