The Health & Wellness Center Alexandria, Alexandria

Hormones don't just power puberty—they can also cause weight gain. At The Health & Wellness Center, Dr. Eric Berg helps bring this phenomenon to light by crafting weight loss plans that shift the patient's focus away from small portions and exercise. Instead, Dr. Berg's diets center on what patients eat; some foods encourage fat-burning hormones, while others encourage fat-storing ones.

The best-selling author of The 7 Principles of Fat Burning, Dr. Berg has been featured on CBS, ABC, and in various fitness magazines for his unique and effective approach to weight loss. In practice for 25 years, he not only understands the hormonal mechanisms of weight loss, but also understands that it's personal. He and his team tailor their regimens to each client's body type and stats, which they measure with a high-tech monitor and never with educated guesses. The machine digitally reads the body's fat levels, metabolism rate, and other statistics that are relevant to weight loss and help the team create results for their patients.
