All About FUSION - the Novel holistic weight loss Method That Works
We Are In An Obesity Epidemic...
Close to 50% of the North American Population are overweight or obese. This predisposes them to multiple health issues from physical health issues like arthritis, diabetes, stomach issues and heart disease to mental health issues like depression, guilt and shame and social issues like isolation and stigma as well as financial issues like body shape discrimination at the workplace.
Approaches to help obese people lose weight are many, most involve different ways to eat less foods or calories, restrict food choices or selection and some form of burning additional calories and energy like strenuous exercise.
These approaches all work to lose weight in the short term. The dismal truth is, though, that over 90% of these dieters gain most or all the lost weight back within just one year. Many even pack on additional pounds, enter the losing-regaining cycle again and again and end up damaging their metabolism and health in the long term, sometimes more than if they had never started dieting in the first place.
But why are so many people overweight or obese? Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off?
Could the Novel FUSION Weight Loss Method Could End The Obesity Crisis?
We believe it could, if governments and healthcare systems worldwide would embrace it.
But until that happens, it is up to you, the struggling overweight individual, to choose among the confusing multitude of weight loss methods and pick one to try.
Of course, we are partial.
Read below why we think that the FUSION Holistic Weight Loss Method is sorely needed, what exactly this Fusion Method for Lasting Weight Loss success it is and why the FUSION method works so well and is slated to be the weight loss method of the future.
Then decide for yourself whether you want to give it a try. We hope you will...

Why are people overweight? And why can't we just lose weight and keep it off? What really is the root cause of obesity and all the miseries that comes with it - and also as long-term consequences?
In this article we introduce our complete 5D holistic weight loss coaching program that can help you to break through your weight loss barriers and get into the best shape of your life, feeling great and to achieve a fulfilled, meaningful life, beaming with vibrant, radiant energy and lasting health and wellbeing.
We are convinced that this program is one of the best online holistic weight loss coaching programs currently available.
The Root Causes of Chronic Obesity and Yoyo Dieting
I have written about the surprising 5D root causes of obesity here.
The fact, that 90% of people who try to lose weight fail to keep it off in the long term, combined with my own story of losing 150 lbs from 2005-2007 - and keeping most of it off until now (2024), my scientific and evidence-based research into the root causes of weight gain and obesity as well as my experience and success in helping people break through their mental roadblocks motivated me to put this novel holistic approach to weight loss together to help others struggling with similar issues.
This method, that I called the FUSION method for lasting weight loss - truly addresses all root causes of Obesity and allows any well-trained FUSION Health Coach to solve them strategically.
Preliminary results have been very encouraging. So, this is why I am now offering this program to a wider audience in an attempt to improve more individuals' health in 5 dimensions and help them to feel great and get strong, fit and confident about their looks.
I identified 4 Pillars of Lasting Weight Loss: Mindset, Eating, Movement and Support.
Each Pillar is essential to lose weight fast - and make it last.
Watch this video to see a high-level overview of what I mean.
Lasting Weight Loss needs a good strategy, and with our comprehensive FUSION method weight loss program we attempt to offer it to you and/or your loved one at an affordable rate.
Obesity and Brain Health
I was fortunate to learn from many mentors: physicians, psychologists, nutritionists, fitness trainers, coaches, scientists and others. One of my favorites is Dr. Daniel Amen MD, who wrote the blockbuster book, a multiple New York Times bestseller: "Change Your Brain, Change your Life" - as well as the Daniel Plan for Weight Loss and has done groundbreaking research on brain imaging related to behavior. This research has led to the development of truly amazing and life-changing educational courses (check them out here)
It is true: We need to consider the physical functioning of the brain - and all 5 dimensions of health influence the brain structure and function - to be able to successfully eliminate most or all root causes of obesity and finally lose all the weight we need to feel great and stay well.
The overall functioning of your brain determines the quality of your decisions and these in turn determine your success in weight loss, relationships, life and work.
Most of us are not aware, that every moment, by everything you do, you are changing your brain – and changing your life – for the better or the worse...?
Neuroplasticity does not mean some abstract, complicated or weird process, but it means that your brain adapts to all you do and changes itself constantly.
So Here Is The Good News:
You Are In Control Of Your Brain And Your Life
If you eat a donut, your brain changes. If you choose a salad, your brain changes again.
Your choices in all areas determine the trajectory of your life – for the better or the worse.
Only if we address and solve issues in all 5 Dimensions of Health and Wellness – and really, life as a whole, can we be successful in life – whatever success may mean to us.
We need to strategically achieve 5D Wellness, find the true root causes of your extra pounds accumulating, then address all issues in each of those areas.
Not just try this approach, try that – whatever we see on google, what’s “in” in our circle, what our busy eye spots in a magazine or what a friend or colleague tells us “will work”.
How Fusion - the novel holistic weight loss Method helps with Emotional Eating
Most people who suffer with chronic obesity, are yoyo dieters or just can't control their eating, are emotional eaters or stress eaters, which means that they try to soothe their unpleasant feelings or emotional pain with food.
I myself fell into this category, and while many of us occasionally eat to numb an unpleasant feeling or use candy or other "comfort foods" for emotional comfort, if this is a habit, or worse, a necessity, or food addiction, it leads to unwanted negative consequences.
Often, a deep-seated trauma (or several), sometimes stemming from childhood adverse events (ACEs), are the root cause, and many obese women (and men) can't keep the weight off until the post-traumatic stress and resulting emotional eating are resolved.
In our soulful FUSION method weight loss program we use Havening Techniques®, a gentle and kind psychosensory method rooted in neuroscience, to remove the persistent emotional stress and pain from past traumatic events and so, sometimes in just a few sessions, integrate (or fuse) the physical and emotional side of us and re-connect body, mind and soul and achieve lasting inner peace, harmony and weight loss success.
What is the FUSION method?
FUSION Holistic Weight Loss is the ONLY Natural Weight Loss Program to address emotional eating for Professional Women over 40 that addresses ALL root causes of obesity, and ends emotional overeating and resolves post-traumatic stress eating with Havening Techniques® and restores body confidence.
The FUSION method was created and is medically supervised by Dr. Christine Sauer, multi-trained physician and naturopath who has lost 150 lbs. / 68 kg in 2006/07 herself and kept the weight off ever since.
The FUSION method is a trauma-Informed, holistic, evidence-based approach to stress-eating and nutrition based in neuroscience, delivered with compassion, care and love to integrate body mind and spirit/soul.
You may have read about my way of classifying the root causes of obesity (and many other chronic conditions) before, but here is a recap:
The Root Causes of Obesity are Found in
the 5 Dimensions of Health...
Click on one of the Tabs to see more about each dimension...
-
Mental
-
Spiritual
-
Social
-
Financial
Physical Health
This is our physical body, the organ systems, the mechanical part, biochemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, and more.
Examples are:
When you consider the complexity of obesity, food, nutrition, eating habits and life, it is obvious that a one-size-fits all approach will not truly help overweight people lose weight, keep it off and thrive.
There is no ONE-Size-fits-all-approach to Holistic Weight Loss success
You probably noticed by now that there can be no one approach that fits everyone who is overweight.
And this is exactly the reason why we devised a highly individualized strategy and support system for people that want to lose weight.
We call this the FUSION method of weight loss success, since it helps to integrate, connect and fuse body, mind and soul to achieve holistic healing with a fusion of methods from
- physical health (body medicine, like nutrition, movement, supplementation),
- mental and emotional health (mindset shifts, psychology, therapeutic touch, mindfulness)
- spiritual health (purpose (logotherapy), connection to a deeper, spiritual source
- social health (forming connections and lasting friendships in a group of likeminded individuals)
- financial health (by providing methods and training to earn a living and train as a life or health coach, if desired)
When you join our FUSION program, you will not only get one of the best coaching programs currently available online, but also the care and support - and understanding of Dr. Christine Sauer herself, paired with her unique understanding of medicine, science, nutrition, exercise physiology, metabolic biology, mental health, weight loss - and with deep "lived" personal experience.
Together, success is inevitable. The timing and execution are different, as each individual is different.
How Does the FUSION - Holistic Weight Loss Method and Program Work? -
How to Lose Weight and Keep it off Forever
This Program rests on the 4 Pillars of Lasting, Brain-Driven Weight Loss. Let me Explain.
Key/Pillar #1 to Lasting Weight Loss - The Willpower Solution - Mindset Hacks
Breakdown of Pillar 1: Mindset Hacks
Think Yourself Thin
Master Your Emotions
Change "Bad" Habits Permanently
Eliminate Automatic Negative Thoughts
Use Neuroscience and Psychology, not Willpower
Key/Pillar #2 to Lasting Weight Loss - The Diet Solution: Intentional Intuitive Eating (IIE)
Intentional Intuitive Eating (IIE) could be called the ultimate holistic weight loss diet.
It is unique as it does not prescribe any special diet, but foods recommended are founded on general principles of conventional nutrition science, dietetics, holistic nutrition, natural agriculture and soil stewardship, respect for our environment and fellow creatures and avoiding food waste.
This way of eating is also deeply rooted in individual culture, history, genetic background. food preferences and individual nutrition needs, which can be depending on the genetic predisposition vastly different from individual to individual. As Prof. Eran Segal details in his TEDx talk, the same diet can have radically different results for different individuals when it comes to glucose control, which is very important for diabetics, so there is no "Best diet for all humans".
Our coaching program focuses in the Eating part on satisfaction and pleasure with eating (and avoiding getting addicted to certain foods or overcoming existing food addictions), and on learning coping strategies other than eating to soothe unpleasant emotions.
In our weight loss coaching program, we also include targeted holistic supplements for weight loss in the context of the 'nutrient orchestra", if necessary.

What Does a Great Holistic Weight Loss Coach Do?
How We Train Your Brain for Lasting Weight Loss Success
Weight loss doesn't depend primarily on training your body, as some fitness gurus want you to believe. It really depends on the "computer" that regulates and steers all body systems and determines our thoughts, emotions and maybe even our spiritual self.
It has been said that a computer cannot be aware of its ultimate being, and that may also be true of our brain as humans.
Raised in a Christian tradition, I feel a great sense of respect and awe towards our creator, whatever name it is called in your respective tradition and culture.
I believe that true love (agape) is the principle that can join humans together and that this universal "spiritual" energy is the ultimate healer, not the physician, coach or other facilitator.
As true healers, we are conduits of ultimate love and energy, catalysts of 5-dimensional healing and wellness.
As the image depicts, there are many things we don't know, and as scientists and humans it is important to nurture this sense of humility and awe and knowing.
We study medical and other sciences, neuroscience, brain health, psychology and philosophy as well as lessons from history and apply the timeless principles learned to train your brain for success.
We use the ability of the brain to adapt, called neuroplasticity, that can be acessed at any age, to help you love the foods that love you back and start loving movement and exercise, even if you never thought you enjoyed this. I outlined a 7-step strategy to teach your brain to love exercise - even if you hate it with a passion - here.
How We Help You with Lasting Goal Achievement
Most weight loss advice uses SMART goals, goals that are
- S-Specific
- M-Measurable
- A-Attainable
- R-Realistic and
- T-Time-Based
Examples would be: Lose 1-2 lbs of weight per week. This is a classic SMART goal. it seems very reasonable.
The problem with SMART goals are that they don't work when we start with them.
When it comes to Goal Achievement, Our Brain Works Like a Car. Watch in this short video what I mean:
I developed the DUMB goal method for lasting goal achievement "on steroids". DUMB goal addresses the fact that our brain needs a clear purpose, a reason that is emotionally uplifiting, exciting and appealing, for lasting goal achievement.
DUMB stands for:
- D - Dream-Based
- U-Uplifting
- M-Method-Based
- B-Behavior-Driven
So, in a way, starting with DUMB goals is really SMART...
