At Danee Barnett Weight Loss & Wellness, the motto is simple: Never question a miracle. And with more than 4,800 patients collectively losing over 78,000 pounds, the results speak for themselves.

But the real magic behind these transformations? 

Danee Barnett herself. With a deep understanding of nutrition, metabolism, acupuncture, homeopathy, and more, she’s spent decades helping people lose weight in a natural, lasting way. Her credentials are impressive — Acupuncture Physician, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and certifications in addiction acupuncture and nutritional counseling, to name a few. But what sets her apart is her approach.

“When people come to me, I really listen. Sometimes that’s all they need,” Barnett says. She believes that lasting change starts with truly understanding each patient’s needs and guiding them toward their healthiest selves.

Barnett’s method isn’t just about shed-ding pounds — it’s about a complete mind-body reset. Her structured yet flexible three-part program, detailed below, is designed to kickstart weight loss, build sustainable habits, and create long-term success.

Detox:

Reset and Rebalance: This three-to-four-and-a-half-week phase jumpstarts weight loss with high-nutrient, low-calorie foods — lean protein, unlimited veggies, two fruits per day, and a small quantity of whole grains. Processed foods? Gone. But despite the calorie drop, hunger is minimal thanks to high protein intake, supplements to preserve muscle, and weekly electro-acupuncture to curb cravings (a method also used by the VA for PTSD and addiction treatment). Barnett calls this step Nutritional Rehabilitation because it resets metabolism and reduces psycho-logical cravings.

Reboot: 

A Balanced Transition: In this two-week phase, calories gradually increase with the introduction of healthy fats while weight loss continues at a steady pace. This transition is key — it prevents rebound weight gain while reinforcing smart, sustainable eating habits.

Carry On: 

Long-Term Success: The final phase is all about maintaining results. Using bioimpedance analysis, Barnett customizes a Mediterranean-style food plan tailored to each patient’s metabolism and goals. Whether the goal is maintenance or con-tinued weight loss (at a safe ½ to 2 pounds per week), this phase ensures long-term success with the right balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats.

Danee Barnett’s Weight Loss & Wellness program isn’t just about losing weight — it’s about feeling strong, healthy, and confident for life. “Self-empowerment is the goal,” says Barnett. “I’m helping people feel good about themselves and confident in who they are—at any weight.”
