The Mountains Are Calling… Shawn’s Story

I went to my former doctor and he recommended I lose some weight and try Weight Watchers. I’m not a group person, so I couldn’t see myself in a room of people talking about weight problems in front of everyone, weighing in while everyone watches, all that. 

I looked online and didn’t really find what I was looking for until I came across the Healthful Life MD site. At first I was more looking for a place close to where I live in the mountains. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with the time and price commitment, but I decided to give it a try. I didn’t really think I needed much support, maybe to watch what I ate a little more.

It was great to talk with Dr. Abby. Her overall attitude, personality, everything about her showed me she accepted me with kindness and understanding. It’s obvious she could offer support, so I let down my guard and she showed me what I didn’t realize.

I wasn’t aware how much medicine for weight loss had changed. I thought it was the same old amphetamine-based script I had previously heard about. Dr. Abby was up to date with the meds I was taking that weren’t helping me lose weight.

I love how she explains things to me and the results are amazing. I’m no longer taking two of my four hypertension meds and I’m able to be active again. The staff at Healthful Life MD offered me great support and held me accountable. Dr. Abby responded to my questions quickly and followed up with me. The trainer and nutritionist also went out of their way to help me. 

Since I started with Healthful Life MD, I’ve lost over 70 pounds. It wasn’t as difficult as other things I had tried, especially on my own. The program was absolutely worth the money, which seemed like a lot at the beginning, but not after experiencing the level of service they provide and the results achieved!

I hadn’t been able to do much of anything because of so much inflammation due to the extra weight. The team helped me realize the inflammation was actually due to nutrition. Within a couple weeks of changing my diet, my inflammation went away and I was shocked how much it went down. Within two months I was mountain biking every weekend because that’s the whole point of moving to Colorado in the first place.

I’ve already referred several friends to Dr. Abby because I feel so comfortable with my experience. Thank you, Dr. Abby and Healthful Life MD!
