Profile Plan

Education, skill-building, reinforcement and behavior change are integral components of effective weight management programs. At Profile, we provide tools to help you not only lose the weight but to maintain the weight loss. There are a variety of different benefits our members see that happen off the scale, such as increased energy, confidence, mood improvements, and mental clarity. We celebrate these successes along your journey.

At Profile we aim to help members create life-long healthy habits and cultivate a health relationship with food. Intermittent fasting is an emerging trend that you may have wondered about. First, what is Intermittent fasting (IF)? IF is a format of cycling between caloric intake and time periods of abstaining from food and beverage consumption or periods of significant caloric reduction. Advocates for this trend in eating tout its efficacy in improving body composition and general health. However, scientific evidence for the health benefits of IF in humans is often extrapolated from animal studies, based on observational data on religious fasting, or derived from experimental studies with small sample sizes.

Get the whole family involved- have a dance party, do a scavenger hunt that has you running around the house trying to find things. Add things to help you be active into your routine, like a morning walk, or an evening walk with the kids before bedtime. Set a timer and have a race- who can pick up the most toys in 10 minutes, or who can clean their room the fastest! Make those every day activities fun!

Some of our nutrition plans are similar to “keto” but safer and our program includes coaching along the way. Most members start on a low-carb, low-fat, lean-protein nutrition plan that helps achieve ketosis. But keto can be taken to unsafe extremes, so your coach will tailor your plan based on your goals and current health and medical conditions to make sure it’s both safe and effective.

Before joining Profile, we first make sure it will be a good fit for you. Memberships are generally non-refundable.

You and your coach will partner together to focus on knowledge, skills, and behaviors to help you be successful in the long-term. To start off, you will meet with a coach weekly where you will focus on your personalized nutrition plan, activity to fit your lifestyle, and education to support you along your journey. Your coach is your guide! You also have the option to try out different coaches and stick with the one that best fits or continue to meet with a variety of coaches! These coaching appointments are important as you navigate challenges and reinforce new skills. Each appointment will focus on your progress, needs, and challenges, and include an education topic along with goal setting for the week.

You may be eligible to use your Flex Spending Account or Health Savings Account (FSA or HSA) for your Profile membership/coaching plan. Check with your insurance provider for details on if you qualify or check out our FSA/HSA info page.

The most effective comprehensive behavioral weight management programs target weight loss and behavior change by simplifying the early stage of nutrition to allow coaches and members to learn, develop, and reinforce skills and behaviors. To do this, our program uses a combination of nutritious grocery store foods complemented with Profile foods to provide a nutritionally complete meal plan. As you progress towards your goals, more grocery foods are built into your plan as Profile foods are removed.

Yes! We have a program called “Profile at Home” that personalizes a plan to you, no matter where you are. You will meet with a coach and have weekly conversations via video or over the phone. Your coach will also ship you the Profile foods you need for the weeks ahead. Profile foods are also available for purchase online. Food and coaching services are only available in the United States of America.

We’d love to meet with you for a free one-hour appointment so we can learn all about your medical and lifestyle history to find out if Profile is a good fit.
