Forget willpower. Work with your body, not against it.
The Shift System™ helps you understand your biology, regulate your appetite, and transform your approach to weight loss.
If you’ve lost and gained the same weight over and over, you’re not alone. Most people who struggle with yo-yo dieting find that the majority of programs only scratch the surface of what sustainable weight loss looks like. When you get the full picture – metabolism, mindset, and habits together – that’s when things really start to click. That is why a personalized approach makes all the difference for people who’ve struggled with this cycle before.
This is not another restrictive diet plan, hardcore exercise regime, or pile of generic wellness tips
The Shift System™ is a physician-created program that helps you solve the real problem affecting weight—so you can create personalized health changes that actually stick.

But you get to try it for free
We’ve all had that moment: 11 PM alone at your kitchen table, wondering why nothing’s working
It’s exhausting, all the plans and prescriptions. You might have a folder full of notes from the mountain of programs and diets you’ve tried…Weight Watchers, Bernstein, Keto, Noom, herbal medicine…
With each one, maybe you lost some weight, felt great for a while, but then you found yourself right back where you started.
It seems like, despite the years of effort and research rabbit holes, you can’t reach the results you want.
All the while, everyone is telling you to “just eat less and move more.”
K, not helpful!
Because you’ve been trying to do that, dammit! And you feel like you’ve made good progress with your habits despite how crappy you feel.
Still, your energy is lower than ever, you feel like you’re starving yourself half the time, and you still don’t feel the way you want to in your body.
If you were prescribed a GLP-1, maybe you’ve hit a roadblock
You probably saw some initial progress, but then you plateaued. Or you still didn’t feel great overall—tired, cranky, foggy.
Maybe you weren’t sure if you were supposed to change the way you eat while on the medication.
You’re wondering, “Now what?”
Pause here✋
You are not the problem.
The way the world treats weight loss is.
Read that again. ⬆️
The lack of success is NOT because you’re doing anything wrong or because you’re not trying hard enough.
It’s because most diets demand compliance and strip you of authority over your own body. They request obedience. That doesn’t work well for us complex humans.
Likewise, weight loss medications don’t teach you how to understand your body and what it needs to thrive. They can be part of the picture, but they are not the full picture.
The Real Problem
There are 3 major missing pieces in most weight loss solutions
1) Appetite literacy
Appetite literacy is knowing how to work with your body signals, hunger cues, and other eating triggers. It’s the difference between short-term weight loss and long-term success.
2) Influences beyond food and exercise
Genetics, stress, emotions, sleep, gut health, hormones, and even your environment all affect your weight. Yet most diets and doctors ignore them.
3) Your why & your mindset
You can’t reach your goals if your head isn’t in the right place. Diet culture puts all the emphasis on the scale, not on what really matters—like your desire to play with your family or kick your friend’s butt in pickleball into your golden years.
That’s where The Shift System™ comes in
The Shift System™ doesn’t show you how to reach a certain number on the scale.
It shows you how to create a life where you feel energetic, strong, and optimistic about your health.
Because weight loss is a lifelong process. It is not the destination.
You may as well get to know yourself if you’re gonna be here a while.

By the way, I’m Dr. Ashley White
MD, Obesity Medicine Doctor
I’ve been a fat doctor, a thin doctor, a pregnant doctor, and everything in between.
I’m acutely aware of this spectrum because I can’t recall a time in my life when my size wasn’t a factor. It has always been a core influencer of how I’ve been treated, received, and understood.
I built The Shift System™ because it’s what I wish I had when I was younger…a compassionate, evidence-based approach that addresses not just the physical aspects of weight loss, but also the emotional and psychological components.
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things – eating well, staying active – but you’re still not seeing the results you want, it can be frustrating.
Our approach uncovers why so often the basics don’t translate into real progress. Turns out, most people are missing a crucial understanding of the deeper motivators of lasting change.
Our methodology goes far beyond surface-level advice to address the person as a whole. We don’t give you another diet plan, we help you see yourself, your patterns, and what real, sustainable transformation actually takes.

I know you’ve been through the wringer with weight loss tactics that didn’t work. That’s why I want to do everything I can to help you decide if The Shift System™ is the different approach you need.
Why The Shift System™ is different from programs or diets you’ve tried so far
1
Spend LESS time thinking about weight loss, more time on understanding your body
It sounds counterintuitive, but I believe we spend too much time thinking about weight loss. We need to focus on understanding your appetite so you can move on with your life. The Shift System™ gives you a concise system you can build in a couple of hours per week to better understand your body’s cues and make sustainable progress.
2
Completely tailored to you by you
No more spending time, energy, and money on programs that don’t suit you and your life. The Shift System™ helps you build health routines and goals that actually make sense for your schedule, your preferences, and your body. You’ll feel the difference right away because it’s built around what works for you. Not someone else.
3
We tackle weight bias head-on
(This is where I’m going to ruffle some white coats.) Weight bias in healthcare is real—and it deeply affects how you experience weight loss and medical care. Instead of dancing around the topic, The Shift System™ creates space to name it, process it, and move forward with tools that are compassionate and based on your lived experience.
4
Focus on regulation, not restriction and control
As much as we’d like to believe we can control everything in life, we can’t. So why are most weight loss plans built as though we can? The Shift System™ helps you build skills for navigating real-life stressors and disruptions. Stay grounded and resilient, instead of burned out or constantly “starting over.”
Maybe you’re still wondering…could this really be different from what I’ve tried?
You’re not alone in feeling skeptical. It’s a sign of wisdom, given what you’ve experienced.
You’ve been through systems that rely on restriction, willpower, and vague advice. You’ve been failed by a system that treats obesity like a moral issue instead of the complex medical condition it is.
The Shift System™ doesn’t teach you to comply with my plan. It teaches you to understand your body and create your own sustainable strategy. It’s rooted in obesity medicine, behavior science, and clinical nutrition. Not willpower hacks or restrictions.
With so much conflicting advice around health and weight loss, we believe it’s critical to understand the appetite and hunger signals unique to each individual. Our program teaches the psychological and physical factors that influence eating behaviours.
Start small. Shift big.
You don’t have to overhaul your life overnight. The Shift System™ gives you step-by-step tools to build lasting change. You can preview it risk-free.
A few last things to help you decide
-
No, you can absolutely do The Shift System™ independently. That said, the program is also designed to complement your care (it does NOT replace it). If you’re working with a practitioner, it gives you a strong foundation you can bring into those conversations. We also have a directory of providers familiar with The Shift System™, if you want extra support.
-
Great, if you’re on GLP-1s, this program will help you optimize results. While these medications can help with weight, they don’t teach you how to support your metabolism, regulate your hunger cues, or build long-term habits.
If you’re not on medication, this program gives you all the non-drug tools.
-
You can see the first module for free, without creating an account. If you decide to continue, you’ll have access to the rest as soon as you pay. You’ll then have 3 months to complete the 5 phases.
-
Every individual will go at their own pace, but you should expect to set aside about 2-3 hours per week to complete each module. Coaching calls are optional but highly encouraged (4 hours per month).
-
If you purchase the full course, you get direct access to me during a monthly group coaching call for 3 months. You can submit your questions for our live calls 48 hours in advance via a special form that you will receive when you join. After those 3 months, you can choose to become an ongoing member and continue with The Shift System™ month-to-month.
Otherwise, you can simply send an email to chantelle@ashleywhitemd.com and we’ll be happy to help.
This time, it’s about understanding. Not obeying.
The Shift System™ helps you reconnect with what your body actually needs.
