About Our Weight Loss Program

What makes the River Valley Weight Loss program different is that we address the metabolism by resetting it and not speeding it up as do most other programs. Our main focus is to create a healthy environment in the body for your cells to thrive, thereby “hearing” the hormones in your body naturally.

We teach you how and what “real” food to eat without counting calories or points. In addition, we use specific neutraceuticals over a short period of time to assist the body in resetting your metabolism,

If possible, we ask that you come in for the initial consultation so we can meet you and learn more about you, your health goals. However, if you live several hours from our office or if you prefer to do a virtual consult, are happy to provide a FREE phone consult.

A structured program gives you a clear plan, personal coaching, and the education you need to understand how your metabolism works. Instead of guessing or trying random diets, you follow a step-by-step approach with support to help you stay consistent.

The best program is one that feels sustainable, supports your metabolism, and fits your lifestyle. For many of our clients, a personalized, real-food approach works better than restrictive dieting or medication-based plans because it’s something they can maintain long term.

The simplest first step is clarity. During a free consultation, we review your goals, health history, and daily routine so you understand exactly what your starting point looks like. This helps set realistic expectations and ensures your plan is personalized from day one.

A common range is 1–2 pounds per week, though many RVWL clients lose more in the early phase as inflammation decreases and metabolism recalibrates. Your coach will help you understand what’s realistic for your body without overpromising results.
Some clients do lose 20 pounds in a month, but results vary from person to person. Your starting weight, inflammation levels, and consistency all play a role. We focus on safe, steady progress and helping you build habits you can maintain.
A structured program removes guesswork and helps you stay consistent. Instead of trying to figure it out alone, you get coaching, accountability, and a personalized plan. Many clients tell us this support is what finally helped them break old patterns and create lasting change.
