Healthy Performance is a four-part, comprehensive program focused on well-being and achieving and maintaining an ideal weight. The four components consists of:
- Creative and practical nutritional guidelines

- Personal one-on-one strategic counseling via telephone, in-house, or electronic mail
- Exercise and movement instructions which includes both aerobic and strength-training, which you will accomplish at home or a local gym. Healthy Performance services clients out of seven offices located in the greater Pittsburgh area. Because of modern technology, persons from all fifty states comprise the Healthy Performance clientele with successful results.
- Healthy Performance is a program designed to help individuals become healthier, have more energy, feel better about themselves and help them reach their optimal weight. All of this is accomplished with a fool proof plan that has been utilized since 1980 under the guidance and leadership of Dr. Bridget Chufo, who studied obesity and weight loss, long before they became dominant words in the media.
Science dictates that if people reduce their caloric intake and increase their metabolic rate via more movement or exercise, weight loss will result. Excess fat is what one should lose, but some “bad diets” actually cause one to lose muscle and organ tissue, which will weaken the body.
Some people state that they cannot lose weight because they have a genetic predisposition to obesity, a slow metabolic rate, or certain medical conditions that prevent them from doing so. The metabolism does slow down by 3-8% with every decade of age. Some medications such as steroids slow down the weight loss process. Certain medical conditions make it more challenging to lose weight, as well. We will go back to the basics for 99.99999999% of weight loss of the general population. If people reduce their caloric intake and increase their metabolic rate via movement, they can and will absolutely lose the weight and improve their health, energy level and most medical conditions.
Dr. Bridget Chufo believes that simplicity is the key to success in losing weight and improving health. “Little changes make big differences” is the mantra of Healthy Performance. The four parts of the Healthy Performance program are easy to follow. Simply eliminate all negative thinking about one’s past failures or inabilities to lose the weight and believe that this is a goal that absolutely can be accomplished. Allow no excuses to invade the thought process and sabotage your success. Anything that doesn’t help you reach your goal is an obstacle and needs to be dismissed from the mind as soon as it enters. A positive attitude will be a major influence on one’s success, since ninety percent of losing weight is from the neck up and the other ten percent is from the neck down. Don’t over think! Begin now!
Delay no longer; have you not procrastinated long enough? Where have you gotten with that kind of attitude? Had you started the many times you thought about losing weight, would you not be happy and to your goal by now? Well, today is the day. It is the day of a new beginning. For every ending, there is a beginning; and for every beginning, there is an ending. It is indeed the time for an ending and most importantly, the time for a beginning! You can and will do this, once and for all. One step at a time and the steps begin now.
