Dr. Jerome-Zapadka is honored to serve on the Scientific and Clinical Advisory Committee for the Coalition for Metabolic Health. The Coalition supports the new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which place a stronger focus on whole foods from both plant and animal sources. The guidelines recognize protein as an important part of a healthy diet, recommend less sugar and refined carbohydrates, and reduce the suggested amount of grains.

The Coalition also applauds the inclusion of therapeutic low-carbohydrate options for people with chronic disease. This is an approach Dr. Zapadka used in her own clinical practice for several years to help reverse metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD). These updates are based on decades of scientific and clinical research and are an important step toward improving metabolic health across the country.

Join us at THP, where our team can help you put these guidelines into action to improve or reverse fatty liver disease, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and unhealthy cholesterol levels.

🎉 Celebrating One Year of Trajectory Health Partners! 🎉

As we wrap up our first year of practice at THP, we’re celebrating what matters most—real people changing their trajectories.

Meet Steve. Just 5 months into his journey, his progress is a powerful example of what’s possible with a personalized, metabolic-focused approach.

After presenting with fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome, Steve adopted a very low-carbohydrate nutrition plan, increased aerobic and resistance training, and stayed committed to the process.

📉 In 5 months:
• Weight: 261.5 → 232.1 lbs
• Waist: 51.5 → 47 inches
• Visceral fat score: 21 → 14
• Insulin: 14.7 → 6.8
• Triglycerides: 214 → 89
• HDL: 29 → 44

Most exciting of all 🙌
➡️ A Velacur liver scan showed resolution of his fatty liver.

Steve says he feels like a new person and is motivated to keep going—and we couldn’t be prouder.

Here’s to our first year at Trajectory Health Partners, and to many more trajectories changed ahead. ✨
