What issue were you looking to address that led you to us?
I really wanted to lose weight. I had a child and I was not able to lose weight after childbirth, and so he was now five years old, so it was a five years of up and down, up and down, and I didn’t want him to have the biggest parents on the playground or in school. So, I wanted to lose weight and also learn how to eat healthy so that he has a better chance of having a healthy lifestyle.
How did we help you to address your problem?
By education. Education, education, education. I learned so much from Dr. Mittal and her team. I learned healthy habits, healthy boundaries. I learned so much about when you get off track, how to get back on track. Just so much education. And, I think that I also, for the first time, felt very supported and not judged in the process. So, I feel like in the first time of working a program or working with a doctor, I was able to be honest. Being honest is the best way to be able to achieve your goals, because if you have to keep it a secret, you’re never gonna really be able to tackle the problems.
So I think that was a big piece of it. So, education and support through the journey, definitely.
How has this experience changed your life or your health?
This experience has changed my life, by losing weight, by being more knowledgeable and educated about eating, healthy eating, and what your body needs. I was having some health problems that I was unaware of before meeting Dr. Mittal and she was able to help point me in the right direction to get help, which ended up being a hernia, and then it turned into a reoccurring hernia that I needed to lose weight for to ultimately not have it continue.
So it’s changed my life in multiple ways for health reasons, also just to feel good in my body, and then being able to bring this home for my family, so that they can lose weight as well, ’cause everybody in my family has that struggle and extended family and immediate family. So education and health, moving forward.
