Our program is meticulously crafted to guide you towards achieving sustainable weight management, optimizing metabolic health, and cultivating a lifestyle that promotes longevity and vitality. Named after the Greek island of Ikaria, renowned for its high concentration of centenarians and culture of well-being, our program draws inspiration from the principles of longevity and wellness practiced by its inhabitants.

Our aim is to proactively safeguard against four significant health challenges: cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic dysfunction.

Central to the Ikaria Lifestyle Program is our commitment to personalized care and comprehensive assessment. Through a thorough initial evaluation and medical history review, we gain insights into your unique needs, challenges, and aspirations. Utilizing advanced technologies such as InBody analysis, we delve deep into your body composition, including the measurement of visceral fat, a key determinant of metabolic health and longevity.

With this knowledge as our foundation, our team of dedicated healthcare professionals collaborates with you to tailor a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific goals and preferences. From nutritional counseling and exercise programming and behavioral interventions, we provide a holistic approach to wellness that transcends traditional weight management programs.

As you embark on your journey with Ikaria Lifestyle, you’ll benefit from ongoing support, guidance, and accountability at every step.

Visceral fat refers to the fat stored within the abdominal cavity, surrounding vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat (fat stored under the skin), visceral fat is metabolically active and has been linked to various health risks and chronic diseases.

Visceral fat is metabolically active and plays a significant role in disrupting hormonal balance, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. Monitoring changes in visceral fat levels over time provides valuable information about metabolic health status and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing visceral fat accumulation. By targeting visceral fat reduction, individuals can improve metabolic parameters and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Accumulation of visceral fat is associated with accelerated aging and reduced longevity.

Cost: $50 (included in packages)

Functional Movement Screening: The functional movement screen evaluates movement patterns, mobility, and stability to identify potential musculoskeletal imbalances or limitations that may hinder exercise performance or increase injury risk. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions improves movement quality, enhances exercise effectiveness, and reduces the likelihood of injury.

Basic Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition is fundamental for sustainable weight loss and overall health. Nutritional counseling educates patients on balanced eating habits, portion control, meal planning, and dietary modifications tailored to their individual needs and goals. This guidance fosters healthier eating behaviors and empowers patients to make informed choices.

Comprehensive Nutritional Counseling: Comprehensive nutritional counseling delves deeper into dietary patterns, behavior modification strategies, and addressing emotional or psychological factors influencing eating habits. It equips patients with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to navigate various dietary challenges and sustain long-term success.

Concierge Level Support (24/7 Access to Clinicians Through our App): Offering round-the-clock access to clinicians through a dedicated app ensures continuous support, guidance, and motivation for patients, whenever they need it. This personalized support system enhances engagement, accountability, and adherence to the weight loss program, fostering a sense of empowerment and partnership between patients and providers.

Follow-up Visits: Regular follow-up visits allow healthcare providers to monitor progress, address any challenges or concerns, and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Consistent monitoring enhances accountability, provides ongoing support, and maximizes the likelihood of success in achieving weight loss goals.

Lab Testing: Regular monitoring of comprehensive laboratory tests is crucial for assessing overall health and metabolic function, vital components of promoting longevity. These tests evaluate key markers such as blood cell counts, metabolic parameters, lipid levels, thyroid function, glycemic control, inflammation, and hormonal balance. By identifying potential issues early and guiding targeted interventions, monitoring these tests supports effective weight management, reduces the risk of chronic diseases, and enhances overall well-being, contributing to a longer and healthier life.

VO2 max: measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. Higher levels are linked to better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Improved oxygen delivery supports overall cellular function, delaying age-related decline. So, maintaining or increasing VO2 max through exercise and healthy habits can boost longevity and well-being.

Accountability: is essential in weight loss programs, fostering motivation, compliance, self-awareness, support, and empowerment. By holding oneself or being held accountable by others, individuals stay committed to their journey, adhere to treatment plans, recognize behavioral patterns, receive feedback and support, prevent relapse, and take ownership of their health and well-being. Incorporating accountability measures enhances engagement, adherence, and long-term success in achieving weight loss goals.
