Looking Forward to a Healthy Christmas

Gold Coast property developer Max Christmas' health was facing a downward spiral because of a lifestyle packed with lengthy high powered meetings, regular socialising with clients, business travel and the stresses of decision making. The absence of regular routine and exercise was impacting on his lifestyle and wellbeing.

Max recognised early on that if he did not change his lifestyle he would not be celebrating Christmas with family and friends.  

"Like most busy executives, my lifestyle was hectic and it left no room for exercising and also my eating habits started to get out of control," said Max.

Motivated by wanting a healthier lifestyle, Max approached Wesley Weight Management's Gold Coast Clinic to help him in his quest for better health and lose weight.

"I wanted to take control of my lifestyle and a sporting associate of mine had lost weight at the Wesley Weight Management Clinic, so I thought I would do the same," Max said.

Over 12 months Dietitian Bianca Neaves worked with Max to develop and monitor a medically supervised weight loss program tailored to his needs.

"To get a true picture of Max's health needs, he underwent a comprehensive medical and physiological examination and from there we developed a customised health and exercise program to address those needs," said Bianca.

This involved supervised exercise workouts and weekly one-on-one consultations with Dietitians, Exercise Physiologists, Psychologists and Doctors.

Bianca said that Wesley Weight Management Clinic's weight loss program has a strong emphasis on nutrition, activity, lifestyle counselling and motivational support.

"Max wanted to achieve sustainable weight loss for better health and wellbeing and we did this by developing an ongoing relationship with him to support him through the program and to ensure his was on track for success.

"Max travels frequently, so we incorporated workout strategies and controlled eating plans that would allow him to exercise and eat properly even while he was away on business."

10 months into his weight loss program Max is happy with his weight loss and on track to reaching his target weight of 120kg,

"I'm pleased with my weight loss to date, and I'm more aware of my daily food calorie intake and even have reduced my alcohol intake," Max said,

"I recommend the Wesley Weight Management Clinic to others as it helps you to be your best when it comes to your weight, your health and your wellbeing."
