COHEN PROGRAM NOW IN MANILA

Cohen Program now in Manila

Medically-based rapid weight loss and wellness program uses food as medicine;

allows individuals to lose an average of 8 - 10 lbs. a month

            If you’re growing tired of the many weight loss plans that never seem to work, all is not lost.  An unhealthy diet or sedentary lifestyle may not be the only culprits.  The problem may also lie in your hormones.This can be addressed through the Cohen Program which is scientifically proven to help individuals shed as much as 10 lbs. in one month.

The Cohen Program is based on internationally-accepted medical research and has been available for over 25 years with thousands of success stories worldwide. Available exclusively at the Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre Philippines, the program was formulated by Dr. Rami Cohen, MD, an international specialist renowned for his research on the hormones involved in obesity and weight loss.

Dr. Cohen’s research isolated the human growth hormonesresponsible for obesity.These are Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which preserves muscle tissue and breaks down fat; insulin which regulates blood sugar levels and therefore stops hunger pangs and serotonin, which tells the body when it is full or satisfied, especially starches.  In people who suffer from “obesity syndrome,” the HGH level is low; unnaturally high levels of insulin are released and serotonin is not discharged correctly. As a result obese people constantly crave food and, despite how little or how much they eat, they still gain weight.

With the Cohen Program, Dr. Cohen personally develops an individually tailored Eating Plan.Each person isgiven a blood test and the results are used to analyze their unique body chemistry.A personalized eating plan which triggers the body’s natural ability to shed off fat rapidly and safelyis then developed to bring their hormones back in balance.

The Eating Plan consists of three meals a day taken in specific quantities from the basic food groups of protein, vegetable, fruit and carbohydrate.  No exotic or expensive food needs to be purchased.  The essential formula is the specific quantity and combination unique to each person.

The specialized Eating Plan is followed by a short, stabilizing Refeeding Program, to reintroduce rich foods without upsetting the balance created by the Eating Plan.  This ensures that the weight won’t be regained once a patient resumes normal eating, provided that management guidelines are faithfully followed.

“The Cohen Program is not a diet, it is a lifestyle,” says Barbara Young, CEO of Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre.  “Following the program precisely will allow the body to correct the chemical imbalance naturally.  The Cohen Program is also a safer, healthier and cheaper alternative to invasive procedures,” says Barbara, herself a beneficiary of the program.

Before she gave the Cohen Program a try, Barbara weighed 172 lbs.  Caught up in the frenetic pace of the corporate world, she would eat whatever she wanted in order to cope with stress; or for no good reason at all.  But after adopting the Cohen Program, Barbara says she now “eats only when I know my body needs it and I also watch what I eat.  I’ve also influenced my family to eat healthily by eliminating many of the processed foods we used to eat or use for cooking.  We’re now conscious of what types of food are beneficial for our bodies.  Now I’m healthier and slimmer.” Barbara lost 46 lbs. in just four and a half months.   

Barbara found it hard to keep the good news to herself so she shared her positive experience to her friend Regina Rodriguez-Chuavon.  Regina then convinced her sister Dr. Angela Rodriguez-Bandola to also undergo the program. 

“The greatest lesson I derived from the Cohen Program is being conscious of the types of food that I put in my mouth.  Before the program, I always went for fatty foods and junk food.  In a fast food restaurant, I had a hard time ordering because I wanted everything on the menu.  After the program, to my surprise, I would find myself in a fast food restaurant and again have a hard time ordering because this time, there was nothing on the menu that I wanted to eat,” says Regina.

For Dr. Bandola, her weight of 240 lbs. made life difficult for her.  She also found it very difficult to find clothes that fit her.  Wanting to lose the extra pounds, she tried everything from jogging, boxing, medications to all the other diets that were in vogue. These did not result in any substantial weight loss.  And when she stopped, she would regain the weight “with interest.”  Says Dr. Bandola: “With the Cohen Program, I saw and felt the results immediately.”  Just one month into the program and she was already unearthing her old clothes because she could fit into some of them again. When she finished the program, Dr. Bandola lost 110 lbs.  Now, she remains mindful of what she eats and she feels so much better.

The life-changing benefits that Barbara, Regina and Dr. Bandola gained from the Cohen Program inspired them to set up the Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre in the Philippines.  Together, the three women actively serve as senior consultants to their clients.

Barbara says the center is “more than a business, it’s an advocacy.”  She and her dedicated staff see it as their mission to save and transform the lives of those affected by obesity-related diseases.  “With 3 out of 10 people being obese, we knew that this program will be able to help a lot of people.  We want to give Filipinos an effective, safe and natural alternative to weight loss and a lifestyle that can help them remain healthy for the rest of their lives,” says Barbara.
