Who This Is For
Often people are suffering from conditions they don't know they have. Or they do have a diagnosis, but they aren't aware it's reversible. I started to see this again and again, so I built the Metabolic Reset.
For adults with or without a diagnosis of insulin resistance, subclinical hypothyroidism, dysregulated cortisol, pre-diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes, this program is for those ready to get better, take their metabolic health seriously, and do the work it takes to change it.
This may be right for you if the following experiences sound familiar:
01. Weight that won't move, exercise that doesn't move the needle
02. Sugar and carb cravings that feel stronger than you are (especially at night)
03. An afternoon crash after lunch that only coffee or something sweet seems to fix
04. Rings that feel tight, a belly that bloats, a puffy, inflamed feeling that seems like your new normal
05. Joints that mysteriously ache, and workouts that take days to recover from
06. Meds that are making things worse, or at the least aren't reversing the problem
07. Disturbed sleep
08. Heightened anxiety or depression
09. Constant fatigue
And you want a doctor reading your labs with reference ranges for optimization (not disease-centered ranges) to guide your plan -- not another one-size-fits-all protocol.

Results
Here's what I've seen in patients
who completed the 6-week protocol.
12.5 lb
average weight loss
Reversal of pre-diabetes
Fasting insulin dropped sharply
Systemic inflammation significantly lowered
Joint pain significantly improved, or gone
Cravings significantly reduced or eliminated
Far less bloating, swelling, and that general puffy feeling
Restful sleep, waking refreshed
Patients describe feeling their muscles for the first time, even after years of working out. They recover from exercise much faster, without the lingering fatigue and joint pain.
And perhaps most significant of all: they want to keep eating this way.
About Dr. Calica
I'm a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with more than 6 years in practice. Before medicine, I trained at Le Cordon Bleu and worked in restaurants and spa hotels, then as a culinary nutritionist in the private sector for over 10 years.
My culinary and medical background shape this program, enabling me to take a creative approach to your journey. When I build your protocol, I know how to make healthy food something you actually want to eat, match your skill level in the kitchen, use your available equipment, and fit it into your lifestyle. Most programs don't take those individual factors into consideration, but I think they are pivotal to your success.
Dr. Calica's Metabolic Reset grew out of my own health challenges, passion for the culinary arts, knowledge, and clinical experience with what kind of support and guidance people need to both see sustainable results and enjoy life!
Questions
How long does the whole program take?
About 4 weeks of preparation for new patients (usually shorter if you're already my patient), and then the 6-week active protocol. Roughly 10 weeks start to finish.
I'm vegetarian or vegan. Can I do this program?
Not this one. It's built around animal protein.
I take medication. Can I still join?
We'll review your medications at your Discovery Consult and decide together whether the program is right for you.
Can my partner do this with me?
Yes! This is encouraged! We’ll talk through how to set it up for both of you at your Discovery Consult.
What happens after the six weeks?
We review your results (objective data and subjective experiences), what your new goals are, how to sustain your success, and discussion of additional therapies that will further optimize your health.
Start with a Discovery Consult
Just six weeks from now: no afternoon crash, no daily fight with cravings, workouts you recover from by the next morning, and lab numbers moving in the right direction. That's what I've seen in patients who did the work. If you're ready to do it with a doctor beside you, start here.
Every patient starts with a 60-minute virtual Discovery Consult. We'll review your health history, medications, current eating habits, and readiness, and decide together whether this program is the right fit. If it is, we'll map out your timeline and go over program investment.
