The Dad Bod Rescue Protocol
Twelve weeks. Measured at 30, 60 and 90 days.
A physician-directed program for men who train, eat reasonably and still carry the midsection. Body contouring, medically managed weight loss where it is indicated, a nutrition and training plan and recovery support — sequenced as one program and measured by 3D scan at every checkpoint. No surgery.
Price TBC set by the sessions your scan calls for, in writing at the consult · $150 consult credited toward the programIn short
You buy an outcome with a timeframe, not a list of sessions. A baseline 3D scan at the consult, a written twelve-week plan with its price, and three re-scans against that baseline. If a number is not moving at day 30 or 60, the plan changes; nobody sells you more of the same.
Who this is for
And who it isn't.
This is for you if
- You are a man, typically 35 to 60, who trains and eats reasonably and still carries a midsection that doesn't respond.
- You are within reach of your target weight and want composition addressed, not another diet.
- You want a plan measured against a baseline scan rather than judged in a mirror.
- You can get to the Alpharetta suite once or twice a week for twelve weeks.
This isn't for you if
- Your main complaint is loose skin rather than fat. Surface contouring won't reach it; that is a minimally invasive conversation, or a surgeon's.
- You have a lot of weight still to lose. Contouring chases a moving target — medically managed weight loss first, then this.
- You want the result in a single appointment. That is surgery, and we will say so.
- A prescription component is the part you are after. Not every patient qualifies; that decision is the medical director's, made in the consult, never on this page.
What's actually in the protocol
Five components, each written as what it is for.
Outcomes and checkpoints, not a shopping list. Any component can change — because your scan says so, or because it becomes unavailable — without changing what you bought: a measured twelve weeks.
- — Body contouring and skin tightening Hands-free sessions of 30 to 60 minutes, usually once or twice a week: fat reduction, muscle stimulation and skin tightening through applicators on the skin. Nothing is cut or injected, and there is no downtime.
- — Medically managed weight loss where indicated If the scan and your history say the last twenty pounds are the problem, physician-managed weight loss runs alongside the contouring. Not every patient qualifies; that is a clinical decision made in the room.
- — Nutrition and training plan Written for your actual schedule — three to five training days a week, compound strength work, progressive overload — and revised at every checkpoint rather than handed over once.
- — Lymphatic and IV recovery support Lymphatic drainage and IV hydration between sessions, from the recovery side of the practice, so the course finishes the way it started.
- — Additional prescription support where clinically indicated, under physician direction, from a licensed 503A/503B pharmacy Discussed specifically in the consult room, prescribed by the medical director only where it is indicated, and never described on this page.
The proof mechanism
Measured at 30, 60 and 90 days.
A full 3D body scan at the consult sets the baseline: circumference and composition, not the bathroom scale. Three re-scans against it, with a review every two weeks in between. This is the reason to buy the program rather than the sessions.
Day 30
First re-scan. Circumference through the abdomen, flanks and chest against baseline. Contouring changes typically show from about week six, so what day 30 mostly confirms is that weight and circumference are moving the right way — and if they are not, the plan changes here, not at the end.
Day 60
Second scan, side by side with the first two. This is usually where a contouring result becomes visible on the scan before it is obvious in the mirror. The nutrition and training plan gets its second revision.
Day 90
Final scan against baseline. You leave with the report, the before-and-after scans, and a written maintenance plan. Muscle needs upkeep and fat cells that remain can still enlarge; the plan is how the result holds.
Results
Men only, from this program.
Thomas's own case ran seven months, before the practice existed, and is the reason the program does. The two frames beside it were published on the original program page; their source, session count and week number are being confirmed, and each card says so. Nothing is presented as a program result until it is one.
No documented cases match that combination yet. Cases are added as each one is measured and consented.
The founder's case is a BodyWorks result, published with his consent. Frames marked "case source to be confirmed" are shown as they were published on the original program page and are not presented as verified program results. Individual results vary.
Investment
What it costs.
Priced by the number of sessions your scan calls for, and put in writing at the consult before you commit to anything.
Price TBC The program price is published here the moment the practice confirms it.
For reference, the contouring component alone: EvolveX $475 a session, with packages of 6 for $2,400, 9 for $3,500, 12 for $4,500. Lymphatic drainage $175 a session. The Blueprint Consult is $150, credited toward the program when you begin within 60 days.
After day 90, maintenance sits inside a membership — from $199 a month — which is what the tiers exist for. Full pricing & memberships.
Financing
Cherry, Affirm, CareCredit, or a plan arranged in-house. Approval, rates and terms are theirs, not ours, and are settled before the first session.
Why not surgery
The trade, stated plainly.
Non-surgical means no anaesthetic, no incisions and no downtime — and a result that arrives over weeks rather than in one step. If a surgeon is the honest answer for what you want, we will say so at the consult.
| The Dad Bod Rescue Protocol | Surgical body contouring | |
|---|---|---|
| Downtime | None — back to work from the appointment | Weeks of restricted activity |
| Anaesthetic | None | General or regional |
| Incisions | None; nothing breaks the skin | Surgical incisions and scars |
| What it addresses | Fat, muscle and skin together, over a course | Fat removal, in one procedure |
| How the result arrives | Progressively, measured at 30, 60 and 90 days | In one step, once swelling settles |
In their words
Two men who did it.

Questions
About the protocol.
What exactly is in the protocol?
Five components, sequenced over twelve weeks: body contouring and skin tightening; medically managed weight loss where it is indicated; a nutrition and training plan; lymphatic and IV recovery support; and additional prescription support where clinically indicated, under physician direction, from a licensed 503A/503B pharmacy.
Which of them your plan uses, and in what proportion, comes out of the consult — the scan, your history and your schedule — not off a menu.
How many sessions, and how long is each one?
A contouring course runs six to twelve sessions — packages come in six, nine and twelve — scheduled once or twice a week, 30 to 60 minutes each. Most men read or work through them. The number is set at the consult from your scan, and adjusted at the 30- and 60-day checkpoints if the numbers say so.
What if I can’t do part of it?
Then you don’t. The protocol is written as outcomes and checkpoints, not a fixed list. If travel means you miss a week, sessions shift. If you don’t qualify for weight-loss medication, or don’t want it, the contouring, nutrition and training plan run without it. If a component becomes unavailable, it is replaced or removed and the price is adjusted.
The twelve weeks and the three scans stay. That is the program.
Is it safe, and what are the side effects?
EvolveX is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device and requires clinical evaluation before treatment, which is what the consult is. Sessions are hands-free and non-invasive; some men feel warmth or see temporary redness during or after a session, and it fades quickly. Every treatment is performed at the Alpharetta suite under physician direction.
Will the results last?
Fat cells reduced by contouring do not come back, but the ones that remain can still enlarge — the result holds if your weight does, which is why the nutrition and training plan is part of the program rather than a leaflet at the end. Muscle needs maintenance. You leave day 90 with a written maintenance plan, and that is what the membership tiers exist for.
How much does it cost, and can I finance it?
The program is priced by the number of sessions your scan calls for and confirmed in writing at the consult, before you commit to anything. For reference, the contouring component alone is $475 a session, with packages of 6 for $2,400, 9 for $3,500, 12 for $4,500; lymphatic drainage is $175 a session. The Blueprint Consult is $150, credited toward the program when you begin within 60 days.
Financing runs through Cherry, Affirm, CareCredit or in-house. How financing works.
How do I start?
The Blueprint Consult. One hour with a practitioner and a full 3D body scan. $150, credited toward any package or membership you start within 60 days.
