Top Functional Weight Loss Strategies from Optim8 Health and Wellness
At Optim8 Health and Wellness, we understand that effective weight loss isn’t about crash diets or temporary fads. Our functional weight loss strategies focus on uncovering and addressing the root causes that may be standing in your way. Whether it’s hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, or hidden inflammation, our functional approach is designed to support long-term success.
Understand Your Unique Weight Loss Roadblocks
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight is often tied to deeper issues like estrogen dominance, testosterone imbalances, cortisol spikes, or unresolved trauma and stress. That’s why our first step is always personalized evaluation. We work with you to identify any internal imbalances and create a strategy that supports your unique biology through functional weight loss strategies.
Boost Results with IV Therapy and Targeted Supplements
For many clients, weekly weight loss IV therapy offers a powerful boost to metabolism and energy as part of functional weight loss strategies. We also build custom supplement plans using carefully chosen products like Inositol, Interfase, Carnitine, Glycine, Bioma, and Fulvic Minerals. These nutrients support everything from detoxification to improved insulin sensitivity and gut health.
Nutrition: Your Most Powerful Tool
Food choices are responsible for about 80% of your weight loss results as part of functional weight loss strategies. It’s not just about eating less, it’s about eating smart:
- Avoid sugar, refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and trans fats
- Eat lean protein—about 0.7g per pound of your ideal body weight
- Start every meal with protein, followed by non-starchy vegetables, and end with small portions of fruit or slow carbs and healthy fats
- Track your food using a workbook, an app, or our recommended resources to build mindfulness
We also encourage avoiding high histamine foods if you suspect sensitivities.
Mindset and Lifestyle Make a Difference
A healthy relationship with food and your body is essential. Changing your mindset around eating, habits, and health can unlock lasting change. Stress management tools such as meditation, deep breathing, and yoga (alongside our Daily Journal) can help bring clarity and calm.
Getting 7 to 8 hours of truly restful sleep is equally vital—both oversleeping and undersleeping can stall progress. And while exercise accounts for 20% of weight loss success, it’s crucial:
- Walk briskly 4–5 times per week for at least 30 minutes
- Incorporate resistance training at least twice weekly
- Focus on functional movements—like squats and overhead presses—to build strength and avoid frailty over time
Lastly, avoid snacking between meals and steer clear of prolonged intermittent fasting unless medically advised.
