Diets are difficult. Some regimens cap calories at super-restrictive levels, while others eliminate major food groups. Either way, such extreme cookie-cutter methods are destined to fail. “These types of diets aren’t sustainable,” says holistic nutritionist Dan LeMoine.
In 2017, LeMoine; his wife, Danae, also a nutritionist; and Dr. Noel Abood, a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss and lower lumbar decompression, founded Re:vitalize Weight Loss and Wellness, located in the Kohl’s shopping center on Chandler Boulevard. Abood decided to develop a personalized wellness program after surviving a heart attack at age 49. Taking a customized approach to his health and focusing on his individual metabolism, Abood lost 30 pounds and had kept it off. His program became the basis for the wellness center.
“Every person is different,” LeMoine explains. “We use Bioscan technology to generate a customized micronutrient profile that determines the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients needed by your body and propose a list of foods that will assimilate best with your unique metabolism.
“It’s really about living a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle,” he continues. “Being a healthy weight doesn’t necessarily mean six-pack abs and shirtless selfies. We want people life healthy lives, but we also want you to enjoy yourself. You don’t have to fear gaining 5 pounds every time you daydream about a donut.”
