Being proactive with your weight can save you a lot of health issues in the future, and can even help reverse some health issues such as borderline diabetes. Not to mention being at your optimal weight is energizing and allows your confidence to shine out.

At Pulsar Health, we aim for long-term results. In the movie "The Matrix" terminology - do you want the Red Pill or the Blue Pill? 

The Red Pill represents Eternal Vitality's Wellness program - the full coaching program and medication - where we work on shifting your lifestyle habits and the underlying thoughts and attitudes that triggered the weight issue, so that you can maintain success after coming off the medication. There are layers to this work, and longevity of results depends on how deep you want to go. Our relationship to food is often multi-faceted. At Pulsar Health, we address the physical issues such as nutrition quality, quantity and timing, exercise (not always wise to do a lot of this at the start as too many changes too soon can be too much), hydration and of course sleep. Recovery and strain are tied to exercise intensity, stress and nutrition. Stress relief is explored at multiple levels from thoughts to emotional freedom techniques and training for fast deep relaxation. Subconscious triggers can be worked on using self-hypnosis or cognitive techniques involving awareness and replacement. Social environments and how to best navigate these as well as job and childcare responsibilities are part of the journey. Skills acquisition such as meal prepping or relaxation breathing techniques are taught. Recommendations are also made to other providers such as for fitness trainers, energy treatments, acupuncture or EMDR therapy depending on what would best serve you. Concepts as fundamental as your calling in life, addictions and what brings you daily joie de vivre are roads that you may choose to explore as we fundamentally shift the path you were on.

Currently in person coaching is on an individual basis, but we hope to offer group classes or webinars moving forwards so that more people can benefit. Let us know if you would like to put on the wait list for this!

The "Blue Pill" is simply using the medication for weight management along with our ongoing encouragement and adjustment of your dosage. At Pulsar Health we have found that Tirzepatide with Vitamin B12 is effective and well tolerated. Most people lose around 10 lbs in the 12-week starting course, although some have lost 37 lbs, and we do include an initial coaching session to help you identify the "low hanging fruit" modifiable factors in your lifestyle habits, in order to assist you in getting and keeping the excess weight off. 

The most common side effects in our practice are acid reflux and constipation. These are dose dependent, so we try to keep the dose low to avoid building tolerance. This also helps you to focus on your habits more and have a long-term change in your weight "thermostat". Tirzepatide (trade name Mounjaro) is a prescription medication, and we monitor your progress with your input. We administer the shot under your skin once / week.

Lab tests can be ordered to look at your nutrition levels and hormones, as well as other basic labs you may need for a baseline. Supplements are only recommended for deficiencies, although Vitamin B12 is included in the weekly dose of Tirzepatide during the course of treatment.

Our prices are kept as affordable as possible, but we do not take insurance for our wellness program. Your lab tests may be covered by insurance.

Should you be underweight, we can help look at the reasons for this, and therapeutic interventions including dietary and gut microbiome adjustments. Currently, we do not have a full gut health program or a hormone replacement program, but plan to do so in the near future. We may also be offering supplements as shots (Vitamin B12 is already available) or iv therapy soon.
