Weight loss has become an industry of quick fixes, fad diets, and promises that rarely deliver sustainable results. From the latest miracle drug to extreme dieting trends, people desperate to shed pounds are often left with more health complications than solutions. But what if the real problem isn’t just the extra weight? What if obesity is merely a symptom of something much deeper?
That’s the belief driving Dr. Christina Campbell and Dr. Bruce Phillips, two experts in health and wellness who are challenging the conventional approach to weight loss. Their program, Hack the Code, is built around a simple yet profound idea: weight gain isn’t just about diet or exercise but a reflection of overall health. Through education, personalized strategies, and science-backed principles, they are helping individuals not only lose weight but reclaim their health in a way that lasts.
Weight as a Symptom, Not the Problem
Dr. Bruce Phillips, a chiropractor with 35 years of experience, has spent his career searching for ways to help patients achieve natural healing. He’s seen firsthand how the obsession with quick-fix weight loss methods often leads to devastating health consequences.
Dr. Phillips wanted to clear the air about getting to the root causes of our obesity epidemic in the United States. His belief is that obesity is just one of the many symptoms of poor health, but it’s one that people tend to want to attack the most because it’s so obvious.
“You wear your weight, you know, and you don’t wear your diabetes or your hypertension or your high cholesterol, you wear your weight. And so, people are more focused on that,” he explains.
The rise of Ozempic as a weight loss solution is one example of a shortcut that often does more harm than good. “Some people are going blind. Some people are having other issues, bone density issues.” Leonard Kim points out during the discussion. Dr. Phillips and Dr. Campbell emphasize that while medications may offer temporary weight loss, they don’t address the root causes of metabolic dysfunction.
Dr. Campbell and Dr. Phillips both stress that without addressing lifestyle changes, weight loss from medications or extreme diets will never be sustainable. Dr. Campbell explains, ”Even if you’re doing [Ozempic], if you’re not fixing the underlying problem, you’re not ever going to be able to hold on to weight loss. It’s always going to come back. So you have to fix the lifestyle problem.”
Why Most Diets Fail: The Need for Metabolic Flexibility
The weight loss industry is filled with contradictory advice, from keto to Mediterranean to carnivore, leaving people confused about what actually works. Dr. Campbell highlights that while different diets can work short-term, true success comes from metabolic flexibility, the body’s ability to switch between using carbohydrates and fats for energy.
“You can lose weight with carnivore, you can lose weight with keto, you can lose weight with a lot of different, I mean, celery juice, like if that’s all you’re drinking, of course, because you have no calories,” says Dr. Campbell.
She explains that while many diets work initially, they fail long-term because they aren’t sustainable or they ignore key health factors, like gut health. For instance, those doing keto don’t have enough fiber to maintain their microbiome, a huge piece of the “health puzzle.”
Instead of pushing extreme diets, Hack the Code focuses on balanced nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and intermittent fasting — tools that align with how the human body was designed to function.
“You throw a little fasting in there along with a balanced diet, and now you’ve got a really great way to stay healthy long-term in today’s society. And that’s really the key,” she remarks
A Step-by-Step Approach to Lasting Change
One of the biggest mistakes people make in weight loss is trying to change everything at once. Dr. Campbell and Dr. Phillips emphasize the power of gradual change, replacing bad habits with better ones one step at a time.
The program guides participants through each stage, helping them identify small, sustainable changes they can implement without feeling overwhelmed. “If you tweak one thing and then once you’ve got that as a new habit, now you tweak the next thing,” Dr. Campbell says. “And pretty soon you look back and you think, my God, my lifestyle is so much better.”
This focus on sustainability over speed is what makes Hack the Code different from most weight loss programs.
A Custom-Tailored Approach, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Plan
One of the biggest problems with conventional weight loss programs is that they treat everyone the same, ignoring individual differences in metabolism, genetics, and environmental factors.
Hack the Code offers multiple levels of support — self-guided learning, personalized coaching, and specialized testing to uncover hidden barriers like nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, and toxin exposure.
“We will get you to your weight loss goal, but our first goal is to get you healthy,” Dr. Phillips says.
