SUSTAINABLE, COMPREHENSIVE, MULTI-PRONGED HEALTHY WEIGHT PROGRAM
At Holistic Family Healthcare, we provide a doctor-supported, individualized, multi-pronged approach to help you achieve and maintain your optimal weight—safely, compassionately, and sustainably.
Dr. Runnerstrum and Dr. Longhin begin with a thorough evaluation focused on identifying the root causes of weight imbalance. This includes understanding your unique physiology, physical and structural health, lifestyle factors, emotional well-being, and stressors. Evaluations may include laboratory testing when appropriate, though testing is not necessary for everyone.
From this foundation, a personalized care plan is created, which may include nutrition guidance, hormonal health support, tailored exercise recommendations, and emotional support—recognizing that lasting weight health involves far more than calories alone.
Our program also integrates advanced, evidence-based technologies designed to support healing and optimization, including:
We also offer genetic testing to further personalize care and identify factors influencing metabolism, stress response, and overall wellness.
Most importantly, you are never on this journey alone. Our caring, experienced team of professionals is committed to supporting, educating, and encouraging you every step of the way—because true wellness happens when science, compassion, and individualized care come together.

The goal is not simply short-term weight loss, but long-term metabolic health, resilience, and well-being. Your care plan may incorporate one nutritional strategy or evolve over time as your body heals and adapts.
Many patients begin their journey with a specific goal—such as weight loss, improved energy, or better metabolic health. Through careful evaluation and ongoing support, we help guide patients toward a nutritional approach that is:
Because the best plan is not the one that works for someone else—it’s the one your body can thrive on. Our role is to help determine which approach—or combination of approaches—best supports your body and long-term health.
Rather than prescribing a single diet for everyone, our doctors use a personalized, root-cause approach to nutrition. Each patient’s metabolism, hormones, stress levels, lifestyle, and nervous system health are evaluated before recommending a nutritional strategy.
For some individuals, the priority may be stabilizing blood sugar and insulin levels. For others, it may be reducing inflammation, supporting cardiovascular health, or improving digestion and energy.
Because every person’s physiology is different, we often draw from three well-studied nutritional frameworks:
These approaches share an important foundation: they emphasize whole, minimally processed foods, healthy fats, quality protein, and reduced refined sugars. The difference lies in how carbohydrates, grains, and food groups are balanced to support specific health goals.
