Pounds, Medical Weight Loss Transformation

🚀 We're coming out of stealth. Introducing 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗥𝗲𝘃 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 🚀

THANK YOU TO ALL THE POUNDS PATIENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS START-UP!!! Amazing to finally be public facing!!! Could not have done it without you!!!

People spend almost all of the cancer journey outside the oncology clinic - and that's where support can become fragmented. Between visits, people navigate nutrition, activity, sleep, recovery, symptoms, and metabolic health largely on their own.

MitaRev was built around a simple idea: 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 to how people feel, function, tolerate care, and manage metabolic health across the cancer journey.

Cancer biology is not only genetic. Standard of care profiles and treats the tumor - but the metabolic environment including glucose, ketones, insulin, inflammation, and mitochondrial function - is rarely measured or supported between visits. That environment is measurable and modifiable. We're building the missing layer: 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 - alongside their existing care team.

We start with cancer because the need is urgent for members, clinicians, employers, and health plans. Our ambition goes further: to help people measure, understand, and improve their metabolic health over time.

Our leadership and advisory team: Jeff Curran, Neil Gyte, Charles Cavo, Huw Thomas, Derek Lee, Ryan Schmid, Graham Mackenzie, Jeffrey Hogan, Stephanie Noriea, Tomás Duraj, Walter Trymbulak MD, PhD, Dr Matthew Nehs.

This week, we’ll share more about the science behind MitaRev and a new partnership designed to help bring clinically guided metabolic support to employers, TPAs, health plans, and the members they serve.

We're excited to finally start building in the open!

"Will these medications make me lose muscle?" It's one of the most common concerns Dr. Cavo hears.

He breaks it down with a simple comparison: think of a marbled steak versus a lean filet. As weight comes down, some change in muscle is normal, but the research on actual strength? That fear hasn't held up the way people assume.

The takeaway isn't "don't worry about it." It's that this is exactly why working with someone who specializes in this matters.

The smallest habit with the biggest payoff: a 10-minute walk right after you eat.

When you walk after a meal, your muscles pull glucose straight out of your blood for fuel, so your blood sugar spikes less and you store less fat. For this one, timing beats intensity. A gentle 10-minute walk within 30 minutes of finishing does more for your blood sugar than a hard workout hours later.

Do this: pick your largest meal and walk for 10 minutes after it. That is the whole habit. Stack it onto something you already do, like clearing the table or a phone call you would take anyway.

The mistake: sitting down right after dinner, then trying to fix it with one big workout later. Spread, gentle, and right after eating beats hard and delayed.

Myth or fact: cutting carbs is the only way to lose weight after 40. Myth. It is rarely the carb, it is the carb naked and alone.

A refined carb by itself spikes your blood sugar, and the crash that follows is what brings the cravings an hour later. The same carb with protein, fiber, and fat digests slowly and keeps you steady.

The meal-order trick: eat your vegetables and protein first, save the carbs for last. In clinical studies, eating in that order cut the post-meal blood-sugar spike by 40 percent or more, with the exact same food on the plate. It is the easiest win in this whole feed because you change nothing but the order.

Do this: never eat a carb alone. Pair it (apple plus nuts, rice plus chicken plus veg, toast plus eggs), and lead the meal with the protein and the greens.

Peptides are all over social media right now. So what's the real story?

Dr. Cavo breaks down one of the most talked-about peptides and why the bigger conversation isn't whether people are using them, it's where they're coming from.

A lot of what's out there lives in a gray market with very little oversight. That's the part worth paying attention to.

Curious about the science? Watch, then talk to a qualified provider before making any decisions.

The scale is the reason most people quit right before it works.

In the first month you lose fat while your muscles hold water for repair, so the number stalls even as your body changes. It also swings 2 to 4 pounds a day on water and hormones.

Weigh less, measure more. Track these four: waist, a photo every 2 weeks, energy out of 10, and your strength climbing. They tell the truth weeks before the scale catches up.

Last year everyone obsessed over protein. This year, fiber is the one most people are missing, and most get about half of what they need.

Fiber slows digestion, keeps you full longer, and steadies your energy through the day. The trick is to build it in slowly and add a little water as you go.

Easy fiber to add:
- Leafy greens and avocado
- Berries, chia, and flax
- Beans and lentils

Start tiny. Spinach in your eggs, chia in your yogurt, a handful of beans on your salad. That is the extra hour of full.

Doing the same things that always worked, and they stopped working? That is not in your head, and it is not a willpower problem. Bodies change as we age, and the old approach was built for a younger one.

What tends to help most:
1. Protein at every meal (it gets harder to hold muscle, and protein protects it)
2. Strength train twice a week (the best way to keep that muscle)
3. Protect your sleep (everything gets harder without it)

The common mistake: answering it with more cardio and less food. That tends to backfire and cost you muscle.

You are not behind and you are not too late.

The all-or-nothing diet feels productive for about a week, then one slip and the whole thing collapses. That is not weak willpower. It is an impossible plan.

The fix is boring and it works: change one thing at a time. Pick a single habit, make it automatic, then add the next.

Start with just one this week:
1. Protein at breakfast
2. A 10-minute walk after dinner
3. A glass of water before meals

One small change held for a year beats five big changes dropped in a month. Slow is the fast way.

Hungry again 20 minutes after a snack? It is usually missing one thing.

You swap the chips for an apple, then you are starving half an hour later and back in the bag anyway. A carb on its own digests fast and the hunger comes right back.

The fix: never snack on a carb alone. Pair a protein with a fiber and the hunger stays quiet.
- Apple + a handful of almonds
- Greek yogurt + berries
- Veggies + hummus

It is the easiest swap in the whole feed because you are not eating less, you are just pairing smarter.
