How did we help you with your weight & health concerns?
Well, I have struggled with extra weight for many years. I’ve tried many different modalities – shakes, bars, Weight Watchers, and so on. And, I have been reading about obesity specialists and lifestyle specialists, and so, I did some research, and I found Dr Mittal. And what I really loved about what I was reading was that it’s about lifestyle, it isn’t just “here we’re going to prescribe a medication and come back to see me in 2 months.” It was a whole approach to lifestyle, which I was really craving because I knew I was headed down a very slippery slope. and certainly when I came to see Dr Mittal, and we did all the blood work, didn’t I find out that my A1C was really just bordering on diabetes 2. I learned that I had sleep apnea. I had high cholesterol. And, all the things that are associated with metabolic syndrome were screaming loud and clear in all of my results! So, I was so relieved to find a practice that could address all of that but also help me with adapting a much healthier lifestyle, not only physically, but mentally, spiritually, emotionally – all of these things are taken into consideration and I really believe that Dr Mittal and her practice saved my life.

What is unique about this program that helped you?
I love the multi-faceted approach of this practice. I felt like I was wrapped in a blanket and so well taken care of. One of the things that I really appreciated was that every after every appointment I left with a plan of some things that I could consider between one appointment and another. And, they were little little changes – whether it was tracking food, getting a little more body movement in, or doing something that really gave me joy and happiness. It was about self-care, not just about the numbers on the scale or how much weight I had lost. It really was a full package concierge kind of service, including things like a health coach, you know, Cindy, who would look at my intake and make some suggestions. I have to say, never once did I feel judged or as though I was doing something wrong. And, that for me was just a huge plus. But, it’s the total package. It’s really like being wrapped in a blanket and being given TLC, you know, as you work through this journey. And, I’ve looked forward to every single appointment
