Healthy House Call
Kim and Thomas are high school sweethearts who have been married for 11 years. Since getting married, they’ve packed on the pounds and are now worried about passing on unhealthy eating habits to their two young daughters.

and help them on their path to a healthier lifestyle.
Dr. Ian says that even small changes can make a big difference in your overall health. After taking a look at Kim and Thomas’ refrigerator, he advises them to swap the thick-cut bacon for leaner turkey bacon and to cut out all the soda. He then sets them up on his Super Shred Diet — with a free membership to the YMCA of Portage, Indiana — to help them lose up to 20 pounds in just four weeks!
