Testimonials

"I heard about this program through friends that I work with. They had great success and it was motivating to me. I have been a patient since October of 2021 and I have lost 45 pounds. I am still working towards my goal but with this program it has taken away all of the anxiety and pressure that comes with trying to lose weight. I feel physically stronger and healthier and very motivated to stay on track. I look forward to hitting my goal weight and being the best version of myself physically and emotionally."

"I was referred by my family physician and another patient as well. In two years, I have lost 30 pounds. It is now easier to exercise; my sleep apnea has improved and I don't need BiPap anymore and my clothes fit well!
Give it a try! This program is more effective than my attempts to lose weight with diet programs such as weight watchers."

"I started a couple of years ago and have lost over 60 pounds. My blood pressure, blood sugar, and breathing are all normal now. Now we are working to achieve my ultimate goal to lose those last stubborn pounds."

"I have worked with this program for 2 years, ever since hearing about it from Dr. McConnell at Sleep Manatee. I have lost 58 pounds. I am at my goal weight and doing well. I am on less insulin and my A1c has improved to a non-diabetic range. This is a great program!"

""At the time I met Rachel in June of 2021, I was feeling quite hopeless after being on every diet and exercising in every spare moment, only to watch the scale barely move. My first visit was very educational. She taught me about calorie intake and the way it influences weight loss. She offered prescription medication that helped me overcome cravings. Using her nutritional guidance, our monthly check-ins and the support of the medication, I have successfully lost 33 pounds. That has been life-changing! I am beginning the maintenance phase and feel completely surrounded by support and encouragement. My advice to someone considering this practice is to take the first step. I thought I had done it all, every diet, every avenue but I was wrong. I am so thankful to Rachel and would recommend her 100%."

"I heard about the program when Dr. McConnell first did a sleep test on me. He felt that I would improve if I lost some weight. I have been here for approximately 2 years or so and I have lost about 65 lbs so far. My health is much better. My blood pressure is now in the normal range and I was able to stop taking one of my medications. I feel less winded and am able to move around much better. I would highly recommend working with this office and program. Rachel is very encouraging and never scolds if I have a bad stretch."

"I found out about the program through Dr. McConell. I have struggled all my life with weight. This program has been a good fit for me. Lots of good tools to help, healthy diet, coaching, appointments to keep you honest. I’ve been on the program for 5 months and have lots 37 lbs. I feel so good about myself. I have about 23 more to lose. I have more energy, and just feel good! I would recommend the program, they have a great program and will help you on your journey – the tough part is deciding to do it!"

"I was referred here by PCP in 2021. I started with Rachel in June and LOVE my results. I have lost nearly 70 lbs and still going strong. My whole life has changed with this weight loss. I am so active now; walking, hiking, swimming. I enjoy my neighbors and community more now that I am healthier. At age 57, I have tried everything to lose weight. THIS is the most healthy weight loss I have ever experienced. LIFELONG CHANGE."
