Bariatric Nutrition and Lifestyle Services

 The word bariatric refers to any medical intervention involving the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) - this is your stomach through to your colon; and in this instance refers to individuals who have undergone surgery to alter, remove or change certain aspects of your GIT to improve quality of life.

Whether this be for weight loss, removal of disease or to enhance efficacy of the digestive process; Whatever the reason an individual undergoes bariatric surgery, it must be understood that any alteration of the GIT will impact the way that the individual uses, metabolises and stores the food, mineral, vitamins and energy that they intake.  This is why individualized, targeted, dynamic and condition specific nutrition is VITAL for the ongoing and long term health of the client

Biome programs are designed to not only deliver adequate and sustaining nutrition long term, but encourage ongoing and healthful weight loss that supports your health needs. They focus on balanced nutrition and  adequate calories NOT restriction or deprivation and they don't  tip the scales in favour of any one macro-nutrient (i.e. Fat, Protein or Carbs).

These programs DO NOT PROHIBIT legumes, carbs,  fruit or vegetables,  but rather ENCOURAGE HEALTHFUL INTAKE based on your INDIVIDUAL health needs.  

If you have found yourself off track, then the same approach is used with whole-real-nutrient dense foods to deliver unique reset options just for you, without being short term, horribly restrictive or unsustainable long term.
