Meet Dr. Matar

Dr. Claude Matar

 My name is Claude Matar.

I offer you my 30-year experience as a medical student, medical doctor, board certified naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist.

I have been running a nutrition practice in Pasadena, CA since 1996. I specialize in wellness-based, permanent weight loss.

After years of helping patients from across the country, with all kinds of body problems and health complaints, it became obvious that what was most needed and wanted was for me to research and develop a workable weight loss program. Weight gain seemed to accompany so many conditions my patients sought to handle.

It was, and still is, evident that the current solutions offered by most weight loss programs are not producing long term results. The statistics were clear and undeniable proof that a truly effective long term weight loss program that transcends body types, gender, age, time frame, geography, and get results for everyone, simply does not exist.

In all of my years of study, practice and research I wanted to understand the reason(s) why most weight loss programs can help almost anyone lose a little, or a lot, of weight only to regain it sooner or later, and then some. I have found that the answer to this poor record of the weight loss industry lays in addressing the health problems (lack of wellness) that caused weight gain in the first place.

I have discovered from consistent experience that by getting a person healthier he/she lost weight almost effortlessly and kept it off, as opposed to putting them on a diet and exercise routine that can give them temporary weight loss while ignoring the underlying health issues that need to be addressed, first and foremost, for weight loss results to be permanent.

This approach of wellness optimization included specific actions to improve oxygenation, hydration, nutrition, sleep and detoxification. These actions seemed to effectively remove the weight loss blockers such as cravings, fatigue, stress, hormonal imbalances, pain, stiffness, digestive distress, etc. and also lowered blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin levels while at it!

As a result of this wellness-first-weight-loss-second approach, some of the most dramatic weight loss case studies and success stories were produced from, now healthy, individuals, who ended up eating more food than ever before and exercising much less than usually recommended by the exercise authorities.

Thousands of happy patients later, I did an in-depth evaluation on what I was doing and how the results were being created so that I can devise a training manual for other doctors to do the same with their patients.

I found the answer to be very simple:

Since I was helping my patients optimize their wellness first, three actions were naturally taking place:

  1. Personalization: I was dealing with each case as a special case with a special set of circumstances so my programs were highly personalized to start with. There was no room for any kind of a cookie cutter approach.
  2. Optimization: The patients kept a very simple daily log of specific important events and shared that with me in their weekly follow-up consultations. This allowed for a high level of continued optimization of their plan, which made it even more effective.
  3. Accountability: I assigned each patient a trained coach for increased accountability. This also gave her/him a chance to communicate the daily report to a trained professional who was able to debug most problems she/he encountered or brought it to my attention when necessary.

The results were stellar: optimized wellness and permanent weight loss.

Today, the Matar Method for Wellness Weight Loss is highly personalized for each individual with a daily ongoing one-on-one support system and weekly in-office evaluations/consultations.

I live in Pasadena, California and am a real person you can contact and speak with. I have a full service center for wellness weight loss. I don't practice medicine, I simply offer the Matar Method, to a growing number of patients referred to me from doctors around the city, state and indeed the entire country.

I am privileged to be able to get dramatic and spectacular results every single day.

I invite you to contact me with questions and schedule a complementary evaluation. You will be thoroughly impressed. I GUARANTEE IT. 

See you soon...

Dr. Claude Matar
