About Dr. Mike
I started working on weight loss by accident. My career started in science as I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology. My Doctorate and post-doctoral training are all in the field of human potential as it relates to nutrition and exercise. I utilized current science and research rather than fads and dogmatic teachings and started doing corporate wellness programs. Our focus was implementing healthy eating programs and creating educational seminars on nutrition. I have also been the doctor for countless professional athletes, creating custom nutritional programs for sports performance, as well as counseling on weight loss for both athletes and entertainers needing to either gain weight or achieve a certain look.
After my doctorate degree, I completed extensive post-graduate work in nutrition and exercise physiology and started researching all the various fads and diets that were available. Many of them claimed that they could achieve great results, however they often would leave the individual in an unhealthy state following the program. This ALWAYS leads to the weight coming back on afterwards. My mantra has always been to steer people away from anything that would take them further from health.
In 2006 I was in clinical practice in Dallas, Texas. During this period I had a consultation with a young woman that told me she was planning to start a dietary program and she wanted my opinion on it. I looked over the information and was completely opposed to it! The diet was not only unhealthy but the results they claimed were not even based on science. It was filled with toxic chemicals and I decided I would make a better program for her and started researching everything I could on weight loss. I combined my physiology degree, doctorate degree, read all the research, picked the brains of the PhD’s doing the science, and came up with a system that not only is effective, but completely healthy. My philosophy is simple; “Don’t follow fad diets, but rather follow the 4 keys of weight loss and have the body you want and the health you desire.” This program WILL work for you.
