As a result of The Vtrim Weight Management Research Program (known as iReach), Dr. Harvey-Berino has created an allegedly effective weight management program.^[1]

The Classes

Vtrim Online meets once a week in a virtual classroom and is led by a Vtrim certified facilitator. In-person courses are offered only in the Burlington, Vermont area. The in-person classes follow the same format as Vtrim Online; however they take place in a physical classroom setting. The Vtrim Maintenance Class is designed for participants who have completed the six-month program. The maintenance class meets online once a month and provides group support to help keep participants on track. New classes begin monthly.
