Above all you need to want to get well.
You also need to believe you can get well. However, if you've been dealing with obesity so long that you're lacking in the 'belief' department, don't worry. We are well equipped to help you in that regard.
The Better Life Institute is a unique treatment facility where you are as big a part of your recovery as any of our practitioners. Most people don't realize what a powerful influence the internal state has on their health and well-being. They may have some idea that it is important, but don't understand how to control it, or what specific stimulus effect it. We give you the understanding and tools you'll need to become the most critical part of the recovery process.
Don’t worry that you won't get “it”, or won't be able to keep up with the scheduled treatments and events. We'll take you at your own pace. We start with a personal assessment to determine where you need to begin, and then take you step by step through the process, all the way to recovery. One of the wonderful and necessary purposes of our approach is that we empower you to take control of your health so that the results continue once you return to your normal life activities.
In order for recovery to last you need to adopt a permanent lifestyle that is conducive to health and healing. This is a critical reason we've combined clinical treatments with active learning. As a result when you return home you have the skills and tools to stay on that new path to a Better Life.
