Truth should Always Trend: Healthy Weight Management at Marie France
The space of weight loss is almost always about looking and feeling good. And that encompasses the beauty of body health. But in an age of one-click-away’s, the desire to do rapid weight loss is a daily temptation. Stories abound and trend in various platforms about near-instant slimming because of the advances in science and innovation.
And that’s a truth that Marie France embraces. As the country’s premiere authority in healthy weight management, Marie France makes one truth clear: access to unlimited information makes the brand more responsible for its clients to make safe and healthy choices towards achieving their body goals.
Marie France launched its Go Lose Pounds program at The Conservatory of the Peninsula Manila on September 26. An intimate event that reverberated with healthy and must-know truths in today’s evolved space of weight loss and weight management.
At first glance, one might think that Go Lose Pounds is about G L P. But the program is substantially more than the trend. It reinforces Marie France’s commitment to build a healthier tomorrow, one body at a time. That might be easier said than done, but the real stories of real people prove why Marie France continues to be a must-have, whatever life stage you’re in.
The Truth of Women and Man
Guests generously shared their personal truths about the underlying reasons behind paths they have chosen to achieve their body and weight goals.
Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante, theater actress, has been going to Marie France since nearly a decade ago. She openly-shared her struggle to lose weight because her body does not respond easily to what may be go-to’s for most women: crash diets and slimming protocols. The struggle is real and cyclical: she sheds off pounds, then gains them back.
Mikkie’s story is now on a healthy track: since she decided to be on the Go Lose Pounds program, her body composition analysis showed she lost weight; but more significantly, her muscle mass has improved and she gained overall metabolic recomposition. She shared that she feels lighter and stronger these days. For someone who is not ashamed to admit her truth (that she is not a fan of physical activities), she is now able to do physical exercise in the form of running! She professes another truth: she will never leave Marie France because she wants a stronger Mikkie that, someday, will be able to enjoy the beauty and physicality of being a grandmother to her future grandchildren.
Difficulties about staying in shape
Seasoned film and television actress Bernadette Allyson opened up about her worries and difficulties about staying in shape. So she has always been on the lookout for what can work for her fast. Rapid weight loss was gaining ground in the entertainment industry, so Bernadette, with the guidance of a medical doctor, hopped on the trend.
But she suffered a horrifying episode while filming a project: her blood pressure hit frightening-high levels! Without hesitation, she came back to her first weight management partner: Marie France. She had to arrest the amount of muscle mass she lost. And she is profusely grateful that Marie France knows exactly how to manage both her muscle mass loss and contouring issues.
Roan Evangelista, a registered pharmacist, shared a truthful women-who-are-on rapid-weight-loss-protocol pressing issue: lawlaw is real. The consequential sagging from rapid weight loss is a daily reminder that the body’s shape and appearance can truthfully look unhealthy. Roan testifies that Marie France is indispensable: she cannot bear the thought of not doing her must-have treatments so she is able to deal with perimenopause gracefully and with fortitude in her resolve to be at her best in looks, weight and strength.
Weight management programs
What sets Ira Schadewald apart from most women her age are these truths: she does not want to be on a rapid weight loss regimen, she’s training for her first marathon and she wants to start her self-care era strongly. Even with pre-existing health conditions, the recording artist and host is focused on making her body as strong and healthy as it can be.
And, she swears by how Marie France continues to amaze her: her healthy weight management programs are focused on targeting visceral fat in her body, building her muscles and the recovery she needs after continued days of physical training. Ira mirrors a truth known to women in their 40s: after years of raising children, it is always healthy to give the care and love back to one’s self. Especially because Ira looks forward to aging well – happy, content and strong.
Gino Quillamor, host and entrepreneur, is no stranger to the problem of yo-yoing: gaining weight, losing pounds, only to gain them back. Now several months into the Go Lose Pounds program, Gino’s weight has shown vast improvement: shedding as much as 7 kilos! He confessed that Marie France is a constant go-to because he wants to manage the gaining-pounds-losing-them-only-to-gain-it-back cycle while making sure he doesn’t lose muscle mass and suffer from the gaunt sagging (a factual result of rapid weight loss). These are important for him because at his age, he welcomes the thought of enjoying the outdoors and playing with his grandchildren in the future.
The Truth About Healthy Weight Management
Trendy may not always be about safety. But safe will always be healthy. The Go Lose Pounds program builds on Marie France’s team of experts—medical doctors, nutritionists, knowledgeable consultants, behavioral mentors, and therapists. Because when it comes to your health, the truth remains: anything that promotes healthy weight loss should be medically supervised.
Truth discovery was rich at the Go Lose Pounds program launch because real experts shared their knowledge on what should be safe and healthy for weight management. Dr. Erick Mendoza, a respected endocrinologist with specializations in Diabetes and Metabolism, gave a well-received talk on how to shape one’s health and body. He discussed the truth about weight gain.
That it is not a simple failure of will power but rather a complex combination of many factors such as biology and genetics, hormones and appetite, sleep and stress, medications and underlying medical conditions. But he shed light on a hopeful truth: today people are not powerless in dealing with weight gain. Information should come from credible sources, guidance should come from experts and the real goal is not just lightness, but more importantly, strength, mobility and independence.
Navigate pressing issues on Truths and Trends
Marie France’s medical experts, Dr. Macgerald Cueto and Dr. Regie Layug helped the audience navigate pressing issues on Truths and Trends. They energized The Conservatory with their answers on the important truths about the pace, the safe and the sustainable ways of managing weight and weight loss.
What cements Marie France’s authority on its stronghold on healthy weight management is the truth that no matter the changes and trends in the areas of slimming and weight management, Marie France will always be about the needs, lifestyle and long-term goals of its clients.
