The GRID Clinic is conveniently located at the Sharp Rehabilitation Center (off Genesee and FWY 163) in San Diego California.
Evaluation
Evaluation is the first step towards success. Your current general health, diet and exercise habits are assessed through comprehensive questionnaires, interviews and a basic examination. Laboratory studies to measure various markers in the blood may be used to assist in assessing risk factors. After you leave the clinic following your initial evaluation, you will be asked to record your diet, exercise and blood glucose levels for one week. At the completion of the first week, all of this data is analyzed and reviewed with you prior to beginning your individual program.
Treatment
GRID Clinic treatment begins the second week although careful assessment of your response to the GRID interventions will continue. Interventions include simple dietary modification, meal replacement and light exercise. Changes may be made in your program to improve your comfort or to accelerate your progress. The GRID Program interventions are extremely easy to follow.
Follow-up
The
GRID Clinic offers ongoing support and counseling to help
with meal planning, exercise and the best use of supplements.
The GRID Lecture Series is offered weekly. Although the
GRID interventions are simple, there is a lot to learn
about staying healthy. The GRID Lecture Series also offer
an informal setting for questions and answers following
each lecture. The GRID Clinic now offers weekly goup sessions
and weekly "mindfulness" sessions. Both are
professionally led and provide important adjuncts to long
term success. Formal clinic visits with the nurse or doctor
are scheduled according to the needs of each patient.
Succeeding
Most diets fail not because they don't work but because people can't stay on them. The medical profession uses the term "poor compliance" to explain these failures. In reality, no one wants to live on a highly restricted dietary regimen. That's why GRID is designed for real people with real needs. With GRID, you will make a shift towards healthier low glycemic load carbohydrates, exercise and supplementation. When these interventions are used in combination, they are surprisingly easy to do. Success may be easier than you think. Give us a call or try the GRID@Home Weight Loss Program.
