Whether in full bloom or a whisper in the wind as a wish, they’re strong and hardy, just like you.
Founder of Total Weight Care Institute®️
I am Dr. Catherine Harmon Toomer – a Community Health and Family Physician with 30 years of experience helping patients maximize their health and wellness through metabolic weight loss treatment – including myself.
I hadn’t intended on creating a highly effective weight loss program, I was just desperately trying not to die from postpartum cardiomyopathy.
So, there I was, 36 years old with a newborn and a toddler and on a heart transplant list. I was on insulin to control my Type 2 diabetes and had gained over 100 pounds from years of stress meeting my genetics.
I knew I couldn’t control my heart, but when I reached out to colleagues for metabolic control and weight loss assistance, I hoped for a shoulder to lean on, instead I got shamed (and the unhelpful advise to eat less and exercise more – how? My heart was failing).
So, I dug deep into my biopsychosocial training to inch my way to survival. Small incremental changes that delivered unexpected results. I documented every single step and My M.E.M.O. METHOD™️ was born.
Minimal Effort for Maximal Outcome. Think of it like metabolic dominoes. One small push, sets off an effortless chain reaction. I lost 60 pounds in 6 months, got off insulin, and more importantly, 25 years later, I am still here.
I now help others who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, or who want to be treated by need not numbers
I have never asked permission to give my patients what they need. They shouldn’t have to ask for permission to get it.
