SLIM TLC® for All!

The (R)evolution

SLIM TLC® has been around since 2011. Our mission has always been to use medicine short-term, while we provide you with all the tools and principles necessary to maintain (and build upon) the success you have achieved. Now that GLP-1 RAs are approved for long-term use, there is no need to wean you off like there is for phentermine – but even in the midst of that, SLIM TLC® principles and tools continue to evolve and improve, seemingly at the speed of light. Combined, the confidence in how much we feel we can help you has grown exponentially!

It's All about the Tools (and Strategies)

Yes, at SLIM TLC®, we have our own nutrition guidelines (The Nutrition Star). However, our strategy to help you follow them has also evolved significantly, culminating in what we now call "Free Food? Whatever!" (our newest eating strategy). Our principal goal-setting system, The SLIM TLC® Map, has had a more gradual evolution, but despite it being the most powerful tool we offer, for many it is just too "busy." Simplifying health is critical for long-term success, and we're happy to announce that all we now have to offer is simpler, adaptable (even "Free Food? Whatever!"), and optional, to serve more diverse needs.

The Ultimate in Customizability

Despite our "gold standard" recommendations, we are thrilled to report that we have figured out how to adapt our program such that anyone with any eating preference or lifestyle can apply the basic principles and benefit! We will help as needed, but you get to decide:

How you define Whatever!
Which tool(s) you feel would best benefit you
Which level of program intensity you need and/or can follow

Do what you feel is needed, and not what's not!

SLIM TLC® Program Details

SLIM TLC® with or without Meds includes:

A 25-minute visit with Marie Barber, BS (our Nutrition and Exercise Coach - to get started on the program, primarily using our powerful SLIM TLC® eating strategy, "Free Food? Whatever!," and to discuss our tools, including our groundbreaking goal-setting system, the SLIM TLC® Map. Extra visits with Marie are 35% off her usual prices (instead of $30 for 25 minutes it is $19.50; instead of $60 for 50 minutes it is $39).

Once- or twice-monthly 35-40-minute SLIM TLC® group visits with Marie, which can be in-person or virtual (via Zoom), for further learning, support, troubleshooting, and accountability. Four are offered each month (subject to change): 1) Breaking Down Barriers, 2) Creating an Environment of Success, 3) General Troubleshooting, and 4) Slaying Your EOs (Evil Ogres that Engender Obesity at Every Opportunity). Sign up by visiting our Calendar.

A private SLIM TLC® Facebook Group, "Fit Together", which provides critical online interaction with, and support from, other SLIM TLC® members

Exclusive emails containing valuable tips and important ongoing and future program enhancements and updates

At-cost (really inexpensive!) labs. We require initial labs (fasting lipid panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, complete blood count, thyroid stimulating hormone, and hemoglobin A1c + testosterone if over 40) and, rarely more frequently than every three months, follow-up labs (fasting lipid panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, and hemoglobin A1c), depending on results of the initial labs. Labs can be drawn at our office or at a CPL (Clinical Pathology Laboratories) or LabCorp location. If you intend to have your labs done when you come in for your initial visit (which is encouraged unless you're a hard "stick," in which case we'd send you to CPL or LabCorp), please come fasting (no calories for 8+hours, but drink water).

Nutrition guidelines (see www.nutritionstar.org for a preview)
