MISSION STATEMENT

“It is my mission to help human beings, develop solutions for difficult clinical problems, and disseminate a message of empathy for every person. To think outside the box so that our response is different, effective, and compassionate for those who seek our care.” 

Dr. David Prologo Mission Statement

Dr. Prologo has spent the majority of his career researching new solutions for pain and weight loss.

He is most well known for pioneering a procedure to block hunger, allowing people to reach a critical point beyond which dieting was no longer a struggle – work that allowed him to define the critically acclaimed “Catching Point” beyond which diet and exercise are easier for those trying to lose weight. The Catching Point was mathematically quantified using met-minutes, and represents the point beyond which healthy living is enjoyable and easy (vs. the struggle that ends so many diets in their early phases).

The Catching Point itself, and the strategy to get there are outlined in Dr. Prologo’s new book: The Catching Point Transformation.
