Are you looking for a weight loss program that's tailored to your individual needs and focuses on long-term, sustainable results? The Cornerstone Wellness Weight Loss Program might be the answer. This program emphasizes a holistic approach to weight management, focusing on fat loss, muscle maintenance, and overall health improvement.
Personalized Approach to Weight Loss
Cornerstone Wellness distinguishes itself from generic weight loss programs by offering a personalized approach. Understanding that each individual's body composition, metabolism, and lifestyle are unique, the program begins with a comprehensive assessment to gather essential information about your body and needs. Your physician will perform a simple, painless diagnostic test using a handheld device to determine your metabolic requirements and body composition.
Customization Based on Diagnostic Testing and Medical History
Your test results, combined with your medical history, will be used to create a customized and flexible diet and exercise program tailored specifically to your goals and desires. A Cornerstone Wellness Coach in your physician’s office will review the plan with you and meet with you regularly for support, feedback and behavioral education.
The Cornerstone's Four Pillars
The Cornerstone Wellness program is built upon four core principles:
- Comprehensive Body Composition Analysis: This analysis determines your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) using the FDA-cleared BC 4 Body composition analyzer, developed at USC School of Medicine. The Cornerstone BC4 is the most accurate and only Internet driven bioelectrical impedance device ever developed. This detailed information allows for personalized planning.
- Precision Metabolic Testing: Uncover your metabolic profile and ideal calorie intake. The test results will determine your recommended customized calorie and protein intake to lose fat while maintaining muscle.
- Customized Nutrition Plans: Expertly crafted meal plans promote fat loss while preserving muscle, aligning with your body’s nutritional needs and preferences.
- Expert Coaching and Support: Dedicated coaches guide you every step of the way, offering motivation, accountability, and support to help you stay on track.

Nutritional Guidance
At Cornerstone Wellness Center they believe that food is the spice of life. They will teach you how to eat healthy while enjoying a delicious assortment of guilt-free foods. You don't need to sacrifice your taste buds on our weight loss plan!
The program emphasizes evidence-based nutrition, with balanced meal plans that align with your body's nutritional needs. While fresh fruits and vegetables are encouraged, the program advises decreasing consumption of "white" foods like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, corn, and sugar, as these are broken down into sugar and stored as fat.
Cornerstone High Protein Medical Meal Replacement
Markedly increasing protein based foods tend to be inconvenient because most need to be cooked, refrigerated etc. They are also typically more expensive than packaged foods. Cornerstone Wellness created the most nutritious, best tasting, all natural, highest protein and highest vitamin partial meal replacement shake which will be consumed along with regular meals. This way you can dial in exactly the right amount of protein, based on your testing, in an extremely convenient and inexpensive way. The shakes are a very effective appetite suppressant without using any stimulants or other diet drugs. It is however completely safe to use the shakes along with weight loss medicine.
Ideally you will be eating three healthy meals per day with two snacks. You will also be drinking 2 Cornerstone partial meal replacements with breakfast and lunch. The shakes were nutritionally engineered to produce tremendous degrees of satiety and appetite suppression due to the high protein content, the medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil and the 6 different types of fiber.
The Cornerstone High Protein Medical Meal Replacement stands out as literally the finest medical protein meal replacement available anywhere in the world. From the standpoint of taste, consistency, type and quantity of protein, vitamins, minerals and appetite suppressive effects Cornerstone leads the industry. Unlike most medical meal replacements, it is used alongside healthy foods like fresh produce, meat, chicken and fish. It affords patients a convenient way to meet their muscle sparing high protein requirements while shedding fat due to its low carb/low calorie composition. It produces three-five hours of natural appetite suppression. From a cost perspective, it is much less expensive that any other medical meal replacement on a cost per gram of protein basis. The Cornerstone shake is formulated in the USA by the second largest supplement maker in the world which holds dozens of awards from the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices program.

MetAssist
Carb craving is incredibly common when dieting for several reasons. Although fresh fruits and especially vegetables are encouraged on Cornerstone we do want you to decrease the “white” foods like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, corn and of course sugar. All of these are broken down into sugar and then converted to and stored as fat. Cornerstone has designed MetAssist to block carb craving and it is taken before each meal.
OmegaHealth
Omega 3 is the primary anti- inflammatory of the body. Cornerstone has developed the finest Omega3 on the market for you to use. It is called OmegaHealth and it has the highest potency and purity with no fishy taste or fish burps which is why so many people discontinue their inferior Omega3s.
Exercise and Physical Activity
Regular physical activity is a crucial component of the Cornerstone Wellness program. The program encourages you to engage in enjoyable activities to make exercise a sustainable habit.
Behavioral Education
A Cornerstone Wellness Coach in your physician’s office will meet with you regularly for behavioral education.

Addressing Common Concerns
Rapid Weight Loss
Rapid weight loss typically results in loss of muscle which leads to drops in your metabolic rate so that you are burning fewer calories and storing more calories as fat.
Your recommended calorie intake will be 10% less than YOUR measured basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your protein intake will be determined based on YOUR lean body mass (LBM), aiming for one gram of protein for every pound of lean body mass you are carrying. This is likely significantly more protein than you’re currently consuming.
Program Duration
At your first Cornerstone evaluation you will be told the exact date you will reach your body fat goals if you adhere to the program. Most other medical weight loss programs are a one size fits all 12 or 16 week program. Our program is customized to each patient’s unique metabolism and medical condition, so it may take longer for some than others. That is just common sense. Our philosophy is that as long as you are even an ounce less fat or an once more muscular at each visit you are moving in the right direction.
Busy Lifestyle
Most medical weight loss programs rigidly require weekly visits primarily because their dieters are miserable on extremely low calorie diets and need a lot of emotional support as they try to soldier on through the hunger. Because the Cornerstone diet is so generous in terms of calorie intake and because the twice daily shakes are such powerful appetite suppressants, you simply won’t be hungry. In fact, you will feel better with more energy than you had before the program.
Pregnancy
Obviously, pregnancy is not the time to start dieting. That being said, obstetricians are concerned about too much weight gain because it is linked to gestational diabetes and pre- eclampsia which can be dangerous for mom and baby. The Cornerstone shakes are helpful to prevent too much weight gain and are safe during pregnancy. They may even make pregnancy safer because of the incredible nutrition provided. First trimester nausea and vomiting responds very well to the mild, slightly sweet taste of the shakes when so many foods smell and taste horrible. A pregnant mom can get her full RDA of vitamins and minerals and much of her protein needs met conveniently using the shakes. They also seem to improve lactation according to several individual anecdotal reports. OmegaHealth is extremely important for mom and baby with several published studies showing 50% reduction in preterm labor and a 50% reduction in post partum depression with Omega3 supplementation as well as other advantages in fetal development. Omega3 is essential for fetal brain development and numerous studies have shown better brain function with maternal intake of omega3 supplements.
Children
The Cornerstone shakes, being all natural with no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors are completely safe for kids of any ages. Obviously the “doses” will have to be dropped for younger children. Children naturally do well with whey as mothers milk is 80% whey and the vitamins and minerals are so much better absorbed by their digestive tracts compared to vitamin supplements. Kids love the taste and they make such a better breakfast choice than cereals, waffles, pop-tarts, pancakes etc which are mostly flour and sugar. The extra protein helps with bone and muscle growth. As far as weight loss, the Cornerstone shakes are helpful in all ages of kids. Typically a shake is taken in the morning before school and when they get home after school, since it is a bit embarrassing for kids to eat differently then their friends at lunch, especially with all the fat shaming and bullying overweight kids are subjected to. Remember that obese children pre-puberty have a greater than 50% chance of lifelong obesity and if they go through puberty obese that goes up to 75%. If you have an overweight child the greatest gift you can give them is to get them on the shakes. OmegaHealth is also beneficial for kids as high dose omega3 has been shown to improve cognitive function, attention and mood stability including PMS in teenage girls and even acne in adolescents.
Long-Term Weight Management
We recommend everyone continue to do their morning Cornerstone shake as this is one of the keys to keeping the fat off. Most of our tremendously successful long term patients continue doing shakes every morning along with the healthy eating habits they developed with the Cornerstone coach’s guidance. Over time, if they start gaining a bit of weight, they can simply get tested at their doctors office to see if the weight gain was fat or muscle. If it is mostly fat gain the coach will probably recommend bumping back up to two shakes for as long it takes to get back to baseline. Obviously it is much easier to drop an extra 5 lbs of fat than to wait too long and have to drop 10 or 20. Also many patients stay on the OmegaHealth because it helps them feel better and provides strong prevention for heart disease and other inflammatory conditions like arthritis that tend to affect us as we age.
Success Stories
Countless clients have shed significant weight and improved their body composition with Cornerstone Wellness. These success stories attest to the effectiveness of their approach.
- Patricia V: The Slim, Smart, and Sexy weight loss program improved my sleep, my inches, and my weight. I am glad a program like this exists to help someone like me take control of my weight. For anyone wanting to join the program, I would say that the results will be the best motivator, and it isn’t hard. It’s worth it!
- Michaela B: I was nothing short of amazed by the results! As soon as I started the program, the pounds started to melt like crazy. I quickly became aware of an increase in mental clarity, improved sleep quality, and an overall sense of well-being and inner peace. Friends and people who know me started to comment on how well I looked (“You are glowing”), as well as on my weight loss.
- Amaris C: This weight loss program is set up for success. The staff is very supportive and committed. I have gained so much knowledge about healthier choices to fit my needs. I’m definitely feeling balanced mentally and physically. This weight loss program is the easiest program to follow. It worked best for me once I stopped working out, and it was super fun to watch the fat disappear by doing nothing! The intermittent fasting was easier to do than expected, and I lost a bunch of inches which has always been the most difficult challenge for me.
- Liz F: I can’t say enough great things about Trina, Cornerstone Wellness, and the Slim, Smart, and Sexy weight loss program. After many years of saying, “There’s something wrong with me,” and visiting doctor after doctor only to be told it was all in my head, Trina nailed it the first time we spoke. I have mold illness, from mold that was completely hidden in my house. From across the country, Trina guided me through the remediation on my house and healing of my body and mind.
- Chris S: This has worked! I have tried for years to lose weight and this has been the only weight loss program that has worked for me. Not only the weight has come off, but my pain is gone. I sleep better and can concentrate better.
