Nutrition Management: Smart Choices for a Healthier You
You do not need to starve yourself to lose weight! Through the Total Approach at Cederquist Medical Wellness Center, you will not learn to diet, but rather, you will develop a normal, healthy relationship with food! You will become your own best advocate, learning to make smart choices so that you can enjoy satisfying eating, all the time still achieving your personal weight-loss goals.

Our Lifestyle Counselors help you plan your personal diet program, including four to six nutritious meals per day which are suited to your individual preferences. In weekly nutrition counseling sessions, lectures and group workshops, you learn to plan a healthy, low-fat diet for both home and restaurant dining. We teach you how to weave the habit of healthy eating into the fabric of your everyday eating, engraining it into your life.

Recognizing the realities of that life, Dr. Cederquist and her team have even designed a own line of gourmet meals. Unavailable anywhere else, Dr. Cederquist’s Good for You Gourmet meals deliciously meet the nutritional needs of her patients with all the ease and convenience of supermarket diet foods, yet with a quality unparalleled anywhere. Whether you cook for yourself or indulge in Dr. Cederquist’s Good for Gourmet, you will discover how well you can eat, lose weight and be satisfied!

Fitness Management: Boosting Your Vitality Through Exercise
It is not necessary to become an exercise fanatic to achieve weight loss and improve your health. But enhancing your physical activity is critical to achieving lasting health. Through the Total Approach, you will learn ways to gently incorporate more physical activity into your daily habits. Our dedicated professionals create a personal schedule of activity enhancement that fits your lifestyle.

Behavioral Counseling: Getting Ready for Getting Better
Weight problems can take an emotional toll on those affected, and reasons for weight gain may often be traced to an emotional origin as well. But education and self-discovery are the roots of all change, and through the Total Approach, your healing can be complete. Your growth and learning will positively influence your overall health and wellbeing, in body, mind and spirit.

Our experience shows that three components make up the most effective formula for healing your body and lifestyle—knowledge, skills and support. The Total Approach provides all these. Private counseling sessions with an experienced behavioral therapist will help you recognize and unlearn destructive habits and self-defeating behaviors. You will learn how think positively, better manage stress, prevent setbacks, maintain motivation and build self-esteem. Practical, healthy behaviors will become second nature to you.

And from your first day of participation in the Total Approach, you will feel the entire staff of Cederquist Comprehensive Weight Control behind you, to guide you, engage you, encourage and inspire you. We are there to help you get well, feel better and build a happy, lifelong practice of healthy living!
