Struggling with Unexplained or Stubborn Weight Gain?

 

If you are struggling with persistent weight gain, an inability to lose weight despite a healthy diet, chronic fatigue, or a constantly sluggish metabolism, your body may be dealing with underlying systemic imbalances. For many patients, standard diets and exercise regimens simply aren’t enough because they fail to address the actual root cause of the weight gain. Whether it’s driven by hormone dysfunction, thyroid disorders, or metabolic resistance, traditional methods often leave patients feeling frustrated, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting.

The "How": Our Specific Protocol & Personalized Approach

Weight gain is rarely just a matter of “calories in, calories out.” It is often a complex symptom of disrupted biological functions, such as blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal imbalances, poor gut health, or hidden inflammation. When your system is under stress from a chronic illness, an autoimmune response, or prolonged fatigue, your metabolism can slow down dramatically as a protective mechanism.

At RedRiver Health and Wellness Center, we do not take a standard or cookie-cutter approach to weight gain. We understand that every patient is different. Our medical protocols leverage targeted functional testing and personalized lifestyle and treatment applications customized to your unique biological needs:

  • Metabolic & Blood Sugar Regulation Targets insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction to help silence food cravings, regulate blood sugar, and achieve sustainable, healthy fat loss.
  • Thyroid & Hormone Balancing Addresses underlying issues such as Hashimoto’s disease, low thyroid, and adrenal fatigue that directly impact your resting metabolic rate, fat storage, and daily energy levels.
  • Autoimmune & Inflammation Management Focuses on reducing systemic inflammation that can cause water retention, cellular stress, and metabolic slowdown, ultimately building a more resilient immune system.
  • Digestive & Gut Health Support Optimizes the microbiome to ensure proper nutrient absorption, improved digestion, and the elimination of specific food triggers that provoke inflammatory weight gain.

GLP-1 Weight Management Protocol

Targets metabolic dysfunction and appetite signaling, helping to silence food cravings, slow gastric emptying, regulate blood sugar, and achieve sustainable fat loss.

Cellular Repair & Growth Hormone Secretagogues

Stimulates natural growth hormone production to accelerate recovery from injuries, build lean tissue, and enhance strength.

Anti-Aging & Tissue Regeneration

Promotes collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, supports joint longevity, and aids cellular repair.

Cognitive & Sleep Enhancement

Balances neurochemistry to support deep, restorative sleep cycles and sharp mental clarity.

Immune System Support

Strengthens system defenses to control systemic inflammation and build resilient health.

Weight Gain Process

What to Expect: Process & Timeline

  • Initial Evaluation & Diagnostics: We begin with comprehensive lab testing and an in-depth clinical consultation to map out your unique health profile, identifying the specific physiological drivers of your weight gain.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Our experienced medical providers craft a targeted program tailored specifically to your goals, biological needs, and symptoms, utilizing nutritional guidance, targeted supplementation, and advanced therapies.
  • Ongoing Supervision & Monitoring: You receive consistent follow-up care, routine progress tracking, and adjustments to your plan to optimize safety and efficacy throughout your journey.
  • Expected Timeline: Many patients notice improved energy, reduced bloating, and better sleep within the first few weeks, with sustained, healthy weight loss and structural metabolic improvements accumulating over 3 to 6 months.

Dr. Skelton was truly a blessing to our teenage son. She discovered the underlying cause of his symptoms, and throughout his treatment, she was such an encouragement to him. After 6 months, he is feeling great and has the energy of a teenage boy again! I only wish we would've contacted Redriver sooner. Everyone there is kind, caring, and so easy to work with. We are incredibly grateful for the care our son received!

A Life-Changing Experience! I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Swindlehurst and the entire team at Red River Health and Wellness. They truly changed my life. After years of struggling with Hashimoto’s, inflammation, endometriosis, and feeling like my body was constantly fighting against me, I finally found someone who sat down, listened to me, and truly heard me. They listened to every symptom, every concern, and every plea for help. For the first time in a long time, I felt like someone was actually looking at the whole picture—not just treating one problem at a time.The last six months have been a journey of learning, healing, making changes, and taking my health back. And through every step of it, Dr. Swindlehurst and the team were there for me. They answered my questions, encouraged me when things felt difficult, they celebrated the progress with me, and never made me feel like I was just another patient. I walked through their doors feeling exhausted, frustrated, and desperate for answers. Six months later, I feel like a completely different person. I have my hope back. I have more good days than bad. I feel like me again. I know my journey isn’t over, and I still have work to do, but I can honestly say that choosing Red River Health and Wellness was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself.If you’re struggling with your health and feel like you’ve tried everything, I cannot recommend Dr. Swindlehurst and Red River Health and Wellness enough. Sometimes the first step toward changing your life is simply finding someone who will truly listen. Thank you for giving me hope when I desperately needed it, for walking beside me through these six months, and for helping me take my life—and my health—back

Just finished my care plan at Red River Health with Dr. Stadler, and I can honestly say he is the smartest doctor I’ve ever worked with. As someone who has had Lupus, Sjögren’s, and Hashimoto’s for decades, I’ve seen A LOT of doctors over the years. I started working with Dr. Stadler after dealing with chronic diarrhea and extreme fatigue for over a year. My colonoscopy showed lymphocytic colitis, but nothing my GI doctor tried was really helping. Dr. Stadler was able to connect some dots that no one else had and found that I had low cortisol and a tendency toward reactive hypoglycemia. With some changes to my diet, supplements, exercise, and actually prioritizing rest, I’m finally feeling like myself again! I also feel so much more in control of my health because I finally understand my body and my illnesses so much better. This isn’t my first experience with functional medicine, but it was definitely my best. I genuinely looked forward to my weekly calls with Dr. Stadler and Brynna. They were so patient with all my questions and really took the time to teach me instead of just telling me what to do. I’m so grateful for the experience and would 10/10 recommend them!

My experience here has been awesome! It is a little costly, but you definitely get what you pay for! Dr. Swindlehurst and Jaime Dunn provided me with constant support and guidance throughout the process, and addressed my concerns. Shalan is always friendly and efficient. When I started the process, I struggled with feeling overly tired and constant digestive issues. I now feel great, have more energy, and no longer struggle with my gut. They provided me with a plan going forward that I can easily follow, with continuing support from Red River as needed. For me, it was definitely worth it!

I Experienced Red River through my Wife. She had stomach/bowl issues for our entire 32 yrs of marriage. It had become her normal daily life. As she sarted the program, I Watched and participated in her diet change. As 6 months went by I seen her stomach/bowl problems dissappear. No prescriptions, No stomach scopes, No Guessing. I decided to tackle my ailments, As a active Male in my early 50's I had been experiencing brain fog and daily energy crashes. I did regular yearly physicals with blood work, and every year was the same: Pre Diebetic levels, and fatty liver, As well as a cholesterol number of 210/220. Always followed by recommendations of pills for it.(not saying im against pills, I just new there had to be a better way besides masking problems with possible side effects problems, and after watching my wife's situation correct with diet and supplements I started my journey. 6 Months have gone my quickly, and my brain fog is non existent, I have plenty of energy, and it has took most of my initial 6 month journey, but my liver and my A1C levels are starting to move in the correct directions. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for natural ways of giving your body a chance to correct bowl issues to pre diabetic levels, brain fog, energy crashes. These are the issues between myself and spouse that I've seen and experienced natural body correction.
Response from the owner:Awesome job, Shane! It has been great working with you. We are here for you and anyone else who needs us!

After a year of living in denial about a Hashimoto's Diagnosis, I decided to do something about it. The staff at Red River Wellness Center have been very knowledgeable about how to treat this autoimmune disorder, reduce systemic inflammation and discover what food intolerances I have that exasperate the issue. Six months later, my labs look great and I'm feeling SO MUCH BETTER!!! Thanks to Dr. Swindlehurst, Jamie and Cammie for so much support in this journey. The program is hard, but worth it if you stick to it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Working with Dr. Swindlehurst and Jamie has been an incredible experience! They both are understanding and provide clear structure around what to do and how to do it. They have consistent appointments to allow you to check-in routinely and stay on top of your health. I was able to lower my inflammatory markers and as a result lose a few pounds. The team here is always friendly, kind and easy to work with. They're realistic and also help you put things into perspective for what matters most. I highly recommend this team and their 6-month program!

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and MCAS, and it truly felt like I was allergic to life. I had tried every diet and supplement I could find, yet I was still experiencing severe flares and reacting to foods on a weekly basis. At one point, I was down to eating only bison and sweet potatoes because everything else seemed to trigger a reaction. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly living in fear of the next flare. My energy was gone, my mood was all over the place, and I felt like I had completely lost myself. Every day felt like a battle. Then I came across Dr. Torres on Instagram talking about food reactions. Something about what he shared resonated with me, so I decided to reach out. I had no idea that neuro-based work was the missing piece my body needed to calm my nervous system and finally begin healing. After working with Dr. Torres for about five months, my life has completely changed. I can now eat a wide variety of foods without fear, my energy is steady throughout the day, and I finally feel like myself again. It's hard to put into words what it feels like to have your life back after believing for so long that this was just how I would always feel. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Torres treated me with genuine care, compassion, encouragement, and professionalism. He listened, supported me, and gave me hope when I had very little left. I will always be grateful for the impact he's had on my health and my life. He didn't just help improve my symptoms—he changed the trajectory of my healing. I can't recommend Dr. Torres highly enough, and I can't thank him enough for everything he's done.
