You see it in your practice every day. Nutritional pollution and sedentary lifestyles are creating a health crisis that's spiraling out of control, causing increased morbidity and mortality among women, men, and, lately, even children.
You're pressed to prescribe more and more drugs for hypertension, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.
Managed care doesn't allow you the time you need to counsel patients on a long-term, regular basis. So your patients keep gaining weight—and losing ground.
As a Take Shape For Life Health Professional Health Coach, you can show your patients the path to reaching a healthy weight and ultimately achieving Optimal Health, all while expanding the revenue potential of your practice.
The philosophy at Take Shape For Life is based on creating health, one habit, one day, one person at a time. These Habits of Health, combined with the power of clinically proven Medifast Meals, can allow your patients to lose up to 2 to 5 lbs a week.
Take Shape For Life is the health coaching support division of Medifast, Inc., a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:MED). Medifast's low-calorie, low-fat, portion-controlled meal replacements have been recommended by over 20,000 doctors since 1980.
As a Take Shape For Life Health Professional Health Coach, you will be empowered to create health in your practice with the support of a comprehensive Optimal Health program. Using physician-led counseling and clinically proven Medifast Meals, partnered with Take Shape For Life's Bio-Network of support, you won't be alone!
In this new era, you can help fight obesity proactively, rather than reactively. You will be leading the charge by showing your patients how to create lasting health in their lives through healthy habits. It all starts with Medifast's clinically proven meal replacements and the 5 & 1 Plan.
The role of Medifast's Scientific Advisory Board is to continually review the effectiveness, safety, and nutritional benefits of Medifast's products and programs. The team of specialists also assists in the development of Medifast Meals and supplements, as well as weight-loss approaches for specific medical needs (e.g., patients with type 2 diabetes) or lifestyles (e.g., vegetarians).
This cross-disciplinary group builds on Medifast's heritage—a medically sound approach to weight loss and the incorporation of leading-edge, clinical research into the company's products and programs.

Take Shape For Life makes no claim that these results are representative of all participants on the Take Shape For Life Program. Take Shape For Life recommends you consult with a physician before starting a weight-loss program. Individual results will vary. Fullness Index is a satiety calculation based on a food's fiber, protein, and calorie content. The equation is: (grams of protein per serving + grams of fiber per serving) x 100, divided by number of calories per serving. The higher the number, the more fullness is derived from each calorie.
