Feeling tired, foggy or just not yourself lately? You’re not alone — more than 90% of U.S. adults are living with some degree of metabolic dysfunction.* When your metabolism is out of sync, everything from your energy to your mood can take a hit. Learn how balanced nutrition, movement, sleep and daily habits can help your body find its rhythm again — and why science shows it’s never too late to restore metabolic health.

There’s nothing like a steaming bowl of turkey chili on a crisp fall day — especially when it fits your goals. This OPTAVIA turkey chili recipe is loaded with lean protein, fresh veggies, and spices for the perfect blend of comfort and nutrition. Plus, it’s a no-bean recipe, making it ideal for Lean & Green or anyone looking for a lighter twist on this classic dish.

Habits don’t change in isolation — they change through connection. That’s why on October 6, National Coaches Day, we honor the human side of science: coaching. At OPTAVIA, coaches don’t just guide you through a plan — they walk alongside you, providing support, accountability, and belief when you need it most.

Feeling off? When your metabolic health is out of sync, everything else follows. More than 90% of U.S. adults are living with poor metabolic health — often without even realizing it. That’s why OPTAVIA put science to the test, and the results are groundbreaking: our 5 & 1 plan® was linked to improved metabolic health and 98% lean mass retention in a clinical study.

OPTAVIA Fuelings are convenient, science-backed nutrition tools, precision-crafted to support your goals. Each one is meticulously formulated, calorie and portion-controlled with an optimal balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats — plus essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and probiotics — to provide the macro and micronutrients your body needs while keeping your metabolism on track.

If you're asking yourself, "what is OPTAVIA?" you've come to the right place. OPTAVIA is more than just a diet. It’s a structured, supportive game plan for your goals — from losing weight* and building better habits to getting the tools to help keep the weight off.  

When it comes to weight loss, creating a calorie deficit is what directly drives fat burn — but what you eat within that deficit makes all the difference. Protein doesn’t directly cause fat loss, but it plays a crucial supporting role: helping preserve lean muscle , promoting satiety and supporting your body during a calorie and carb-controlled plan.  At OPTA VIA, we build our structured nutrition plans around the science of protein for weight loss * — and for good reason.
