Wellness

at New South

You Deserve to Feel Your Best.

The Wellness at New South program is a comprehensive three-month program designed to help you reset, rebuild, and restore your health from the inside out. Through a combination of medical insight, nutrition coaching, personalized fitness, and lifestyle transformation, our goal is to help you become your healthiest self — for life. We also include two functional medicine tests, GI Map and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, to get a deeper understanding of your overall health.

This isn’t a quick fix or one-size-fits-all plan. It’s an evidence-based, medically guided program that addresses the root causes of imbalance —  from movement, nutrition, gut health and hormones to sleep, stress, and vitality — creating sustainable habits that support long-term health & wellness.

What You’ll Learn and Experience

Each week of the program builds upon the last, combining medical evaluation, nutrition, movement, and self-care practices for a truly holistic approach:

  • Nutrition & Meal Planning: You’ll learn to create sustainable eating habits, understand label reading, and tailor your meals to your metabolism and goals. We also provide you with recipes to help get you started!

  • Functional Movement & Training: You’ll receive personalized workouts, mobility sessions, and field trips that make fitness accessible and fun.

  • Gut Health & Hormone Balance: Discover how digestion and hormones impact energy, mood, and weight — and get a plan to support optimal function.

  • Sleep & Stress Management: We’ll practice evidence-based techniques for better rest and emotional balance.

  • Ongoing Monitoring: Regular InBody scans, lab testing, and vital sign checks help you see your progress in real numbers.

    Throughout the 12 weeks, you’ll have a structured schedule that includes clinical visits, nutrition and movement sessions, and group reflections, all supported by the New South Family Medicine team.
