What does our Metabolic Fitness Program include?

1. Metabolic Exercise (High-Intensity Interval Training or HIIT) in a small-group setting led by Dr. Oscar Coetzee. This training protocol creates EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), which causes your body to burn calories long after your workout is completed. We use dumbbells, kettlebells, bands, and other equipment and perform fundamental exercises (squats, rows, presses, etc.) with sub-maximal weights at maximum intensity. (Three times per week.)

2. Individual Consultations with Dr. Coetzee to set goals that integrate personalized nutritional and exercise protocols and to track your progress. We review your blood work and body composition and discuss psychological aspects, including how to stay motivated. (Once a month.)

3. Group Educational Seminars led by Dr. Coetzee on current health-related topics with full PowerPoint presentations. The seminars look at healthcare from both sides, allopathic and holistic, and separate the myths from the facts. (Once a month.) Topics include:

• Demystifying Diets & Weight Loss: Exposing the truth
• Cholesterol & Type II Diabetes: How it can be prevented and controlled naturally
• Autism, ADHD, ADD & Mental Health - Psychotropic/Psychiatric Drugs: The untold facts
• GMO – Genetically Engineered Foods and the Health Risks: "The greatest human experiment"
• FDA: Is the Food and Drug Administration protecting us?
• Artificial Sweeteners & Additives: What are the dangers of consumption?
• Vaccines: Are they safe? What is the controversial information out there? Pros/cons?
• Cancer: Are there any other options? How can natural approaches tie into modern oncology?
• Allergies: Why do so many kids have allergies now? What is the cause?
• Autoimmune Disorders (Multiple Sclerosis, GI Tract Disorders, Celiac Disease, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme Disease): Why are so many of these prevalent in our time?
• Politics & Economics of Your Health: How much say do you really have in your own decisions?

Why six months?

It takes years to develop chronic conditions. Due to the biochemical mechanisms and detoxification pathways in the body, a quick fix is not possible. Nothing comes easy, and achieving optimal health and successful weight-loss maintenance takes dedicated work and an education that will help you develop lifelong practices. However, it is amazing how quickly the body responds when given the proper whole-food nutrients, exercise protocols, and immune-strengthening components.

What are some of the benefits of a metabolic style of training?

Our program delivers tangible results, including:

#1. Increased cardiovascular capacity

Studies have shown anaerobic exercise, such as HIIT, can increase V02 max (maximal oxygen consumption) beyond that experienced by exercisers following an aerobic program.

#2: Improved hormonal profile

Studies have shown that hormones that promote “lipolysis” (fat loss) increase as a result of high-intensity strength training. Strength training in general has been shown to help improve your hormonal profile, and metabolic training is arguably the best type of strength training to elicit the most powerful hormonal response.

#3: Serious calorie burn

A 30-minute metabolic training workout easily burns around 500 calories, but it also increases your metabolic rate from anywhere between 10 percent to 25 percent for up to 48 hours—with some studies showing an increase in metabolic rate for up to 72 hours. This “afterburn effect” equates to hundreds of extra calories, which over the course of a few workouts can make a significant difference. The metabolic effect of intense strength training is real and powerful.
