One Size Doesn’t Fit All

The challenges of addressing overweight, obese, and sedentary lifestyles are not to be underestimated.

Our human genes make us particularly vulnerable to weight accumulation and our environment encourages over-consumption and under-exertion. For many, medical conditions, medications, busy schedules, and other social, emotional, or psychological issues also contribute to difficulty maintaining a healthy weight.

We recognize that overly simplified solutions to weight control that are so common in the world of popular diets are often ineffective. Our patients tell us that daily. They come to us because they realize that it takes a sound and scientific approach to achieve true success -- an approach that has been the cornerstone of the Duke Diet & Fitness Center for nearly 40 years.

We base our approach on the best available scientific evidence and decades of experience specializing in weight control and health promotion. Our goal is to make a difference in our patients’ lives, and we are rewarded daily by changes we see. We view this as the start of a lifelong approach to healthy living and offer ongoing support to our clients in taking these changes home and making them part of their lives.

The staff of the Duke Diet & Fitness Center welcomes the opportunity to become your partner in your journey to better health.
