Welcome to the To Life!™ website.
A message from Dr. Pincus:
The To Life!™ program is designed to attack the obesity epidemic through a long-term, comprehensive, medical and behavioral approach. Our curriculum is based on sound science, support from a professional faculty, and physician management of obesity related medical issues. Effective weight management requires putting a system in place which, practiced over time, gives you the tools to successfully deal with living in an environment of too many calories and too little activity. We don’t promise a quick fix. However, small changes over time can produce big miracles.
Obesity is a disease where the size of the package threatens to cancel the journey of the spirit. It is not the result of a lack of intellect or will power. It is an epidemic, which kills more than 100,000 people yearly in the United States. Excess body fat, both on the outside and the inside of the body, contributes to diabetes, hypertension, cancer, sleep apnea, arthritis, depression, asthma, cardiovascular disease and many other weight-related medical conditions. Childhood obesity is also growing at a dangerous rate. The To Life!™ program addresses childhood obesity by treating and teaching the parents.
In parallel with our non-surgical, medical weight loss program, we also offer a “bridge program” between medicine and surgery, in conjunction with the Weight Management Institute of Methodist Health System in Dallas so that our patients arrive at surgery knowing, rather than hoping, they have the lifestyle change skills needed to maximize their surgical weight loss and keep it off. Weight management is a complex medical issue. Let us help put together a personal treatment plan for you!
