Weight Loss Plan Key Elements
Diet
We’ll review your current eating habits and develop specific, sustainable recommendations that align with your food preferences. You can enjoy your meals and still lose weight with a plan that fits your life.
Exercise
Physical activity is a vital part of maintaining a healthy weight and long-term health. We’ll tailor an exercise or training plan to your schedule, fitness level, and interests to keep movement enjoyable and consistent. We partner with a certified personal trainer, nutrition and exercise coach and can provide referrals if deemed appropriate.
Lifestyle
We’ll discuss your overall lifestyle and may recommend adjustments such as improving sleep, reducing stress, or incorporating more movement into sedentary routines. We also provide support for behavioral challenges like emotional or stress eating.
Medication
For some patients, prescription weight-loss medications may be appropriate. We’ll discuss all options and, if indicated, create a treatment plan that helps you achieve results safely and effectively.

Managing Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
Megan Foreman FNP-C has advanced training and education in the field of eating disorders. She helped establish the Disordered Eating Team at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and served as the director for eight years.
At Lyons Health and Wellness she provides medical management for patients with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) or disordered eating.
Eating disorders are serious mental health disorders, affecting people of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds. We approach each person as an individual and work with their unique set of circumstances, to help them in a non-judgmental way. We work closely with other team members with backgrounds in eating disorders, including registered dieticians and therapists, to help our patients transition toward recovery and a more meaningful life.

Sports Performance Key Elements
Build Strength, Speed & Endurance
At Lyons Health & Wellness we specialize in optimizing athletic potential — for recreational athletes, weekend warriors, and competitive players alike. Our mission is to help you optimize your health and athletic performance, achieve your goals and feel your best!
We recognize that recreational and master athletes may be under-served and not well understood in traditional medicine. Often, when athletes feel something is off and seek care with a conventional medical provider, they are told their labs are “normal.” Normal labs may not be enough to keep an athlete functioning at an optimal level as athletes have different nutritional and metabolic needs than non-athletes. When these needs are not met, they can prevent progress and impact athletic performance.
Performance-enhancing focus areas:
- Hormonal and metabolic optimization to fuel performance
- Fatigue & Energy
- Vitamin Deficiencies
- Immune Support
- Female Athlete Triad
