I've done all the…read morediets (keto, WW, macros, etc.) but I always gain the weight back because I have never learned how to do maintenance successfully. That all changed with the Eastside Weight Loss Clinic program. The staff was always friendly/helpful and any questions I sent through the app were answered very quickly. The educational content in the app related to why they are having you eat certain foods and why certain foods lead to weight gain was really helpful. I now understand the science behind why I should fuel my body with certain foods/portions long term. During the reduction phase (60 days) I lost 26 lbs (~12% of my body weight) and 27 inches! The fat literally melted. The food options were limited but you have the freedom to get creative and make food that you enjoy eating. The portions seemed large and filling. The program works if you follow it and trust the process. I have been in the maintenance phase for 3 months and I haven't gained any weight. In fact, I'm still losing very slowly. The maintenance guidelines have helped me understand that meals should be similar to those in the reduction phase most of the week and then it's fine to have a few "treat meals" per week. I have more appreciation for foods that should be eaten in moderation now and I truly enjoy them rather than just eating mindlessly. I have no sugar cravings which is really amazing because I had a sweet tooth! I'm still doing intermittent fasting most days of the week since it is just a habit now. I've lost 8.5 additional pounds in the last 3 months with no tracking calories and just following the guidelines I learned for maintenance in the program. I'd like to lose 15-20 more pounds so another reduction phase would totally get me to that goal. I'm so glad I found this program because it completely changed how I view food. I've gained confidence in my body and I feel better overall (joint pain gone, better sleep, brighter mood, endless energy). I'd recommend this plan to anyone. The pictures are from the first and last day of the 60 day reduction phase (-26 lbs).

Dr. Brimhall has been a huge gift. It is hard to find a provider with extensive knowledge of…read morehormones, let alone one who is open-minded enough to try a variety of approaches. Dr. B has the biggest toolbox of anyone I've ever worked with, & she has been committed from the start to figuring out what's right for me, not what 'works for most people.' I have atypical & sometimes paradoxical responses to hormones, so I greatly appreciate her willingness to think outside the box. She listens to & considers all of my input, keeps tabs on every symptom we are monitoring, & never leaves me on something that isn't optimal.

I knew I had some sort of emotional connection to eating: stress, transitioning to an empty nester, instability in my job, and overall "I don't care-ism". In addition, I was a picker (stoppickingonme.com) and my face was a mess. I did have inner joy through my faith, but I wasn't happy with my physical appearance. I tried lots of fad diets, most recently the HGC and then a 30 day juice fast. I could lose about 20 pounds, but because of the underlying issues I would return to my old stress eating habits. In August 2015, a friend told me about Ideal Protein and that she had lost about 30 pounds. I made an appointment with Sherene, and after that orientation meeting the lightbulb went off: I was addicted to carbs which caused the need to stress eat and that caused inflammation which caused my skin breakouts. I went home with the bag of IP food and supplements that very day. What made the difference is the science behind the diet and NOT to approach this alone. We are creatures designed to be in relationship with others. Thorough the coaches at Ideal Northwest, Sherene and Rachael are my coaches, I felt comfortable with then to share my struggles. Believe me, they have the experiences and knowledge to get you through anything and provide scientific evidence as to why you may be experiencing a pause in the weight loss. The center offers monthly meetings to learn something new, support each other and share recipes. Everything I've learned makes so much practical sense. Today, I am about 5 pounds away my goal weight of 140 pounds and FEEL GREAT!!! Not only has my body shrunk, but my complexion is CLEAR! An added and unexpected bonus because there's nothing to pick at! I'm feeling happy about the way I look and feel in my clothes (which are all new BTW). I'm looking forward to meeting my goal and moving into the maintenance phase of eating. I hope anyone reading this and is serious about losing weight will consider Ideal Northwest. I'm so glad I did.

I got a bill for the $50 plus a hospital fee that was almost $300, because the doctor I saw office was at the hospital. When I complained they said that I signed a form stating this. I have an email and a piece of paper, that said it would be $50. They don't care when I complain and say I should take up with my insurance. Which my insurance says they should bill a different code. They are shady, just tell the truth. I don't want to go there now. For $350, I got an appointment with a doctor. She ordered labs that cost me an additional $200.

Still, I have struggled with chronic physical and mental fatigue, malaise, brain fog and a number of other physical manifestations. For years, I have seen doctor after doctor - MDs and Naturopathic Doctors (NDs). I even sought out one of the best endocrinologists in the greater Seattle area and I continued to be told that my symptoms are normal for a 30 year old. The MDs referred me to tons of specialists who treated me for symptoms, but no one was looking at the underlying cause. I was referred to Dr. Elena from my ND for IV infusions to boost my immune system. I have a lot going on - hypothyroidism, hormone imbalances, persistently high Epstein-Barr lab values, low immune system lab values and more. Dr. Elena sat down with me for an hour through every IV infusion and asked about my history, how my treatment has been going and brainstormed ideas about how my treatment could be improved. I was truly feeling hopeless about my deteriorating health and body. Dr. Elena collaborated with my ND and other NDs regarding my treatment plan. I have felt so much more optimistic working with professionals that are sharing knowledge and expertise to help me improve. Dr. Elena is professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable.

My trainer was Melina and she is the best trainer I EVER had. My dietician was Shelly who is equally amazing. Sammie, the scheduler is on top of every detail. I used Chris for the counseling and he was great. Dr. Dedomenico is the man who started this amazing program. I was shocked to learn that he still oversees EVERY patient. When getting my mid-term measurements the commented on how he was impressed with my progress. My first thought was "he know about me?" Then they told me that they have weekly round table discussions about EVERY client and how to help them. Amazing level of detail and personal treatment. The Pro Club staff were also incredible. They are so in tune with their clients, fun, happy, and take the time to learn your name and who you are. The facility is second to none. Cleaned all the time, with attention to the smallest of details. I was so impressed with the club I became a full time member. Do NOT hesitate to do this.

She responded with "each person is really individual, so I really can't say until your evaluation appointment". Sigh. Ok, fine. My appointment came, they have you watch a video and then walk through a flip chart about how their system works (metabolism balancing, magic lights, blah blah blah), then he FINALLY gives me the price. $3,000!!! (for the first MONTH) Seriously? Then he started the hard sell, along with offers of financing. Dude, if I wanted to do it, I would. But I am not spending that kind of money on something that I should be able to do myself if I just showed some backbone! I was really annoyed at how coy they were on the phone around pricing, when it's clearly the same price for everyone (maybe it differs a bit depending on how much a person has to lose). I mean, seriously, don't waste my time!! In my opinion that makes them the lowest order of shyster.
