Im 2 years postpartum and was working out for one straight year and my body weight was not budging, at one point I thought to myself that maybe my weight will stay as is and nothing would change it.

If you are looking to lose weight or improve your health, Lana is one of the most knowledgable,…read morekind, and supportive dietitians that you can work with. She approaches weight loss in a way that is realistic and sustainable, and educates you throughout each step of the process. I came to Lana looking to lower my cholesterol, improve my anemia, and lose some weight. Before I met Lana, I spent each day feeling so tired and terrible both physically and mentally. I've worked with her for the last 3 months and I've already lost almost 20lbs. Not once did I ever feel hungry or bad. When I followed the diet she gave me and took the supplements she recommended, I felt a significant improvement within the first week. She made losing weight manageable, and helped me to eat in a way that was nourishing for my body. My body and mind both feel the best I have ever felt. I honestly feel that Lana has changed my life and the way that a look at food. The advice she has given me will continue to influence the way that I nurture my body throughout the rest of my life. Thank you so much Lana!!

Cholesterol has been a genetic problem on both sides of my family; my latest bloodwork showed an immense uptick in cholesterol and triglycerides and, because of the relationship between cholesterol and weight, my doctor gave me an ultimatum: lose 20lbs by June 1st, or go on statins permanently. Not wanting to be confined or limited by medicine if not absolutely necessary, I quickly found Lana on Yelp and set up an appointment; we handled these two issues separately-- first, focusing on weight loss; then, focusing on cholesterol and triglycerides. I came to each meeting prepared with questions about foods, cravings, and lifestyle choices (I am vegetarian); and I was met kindly with Lana's expertise and science-backed responses. My weight loss results came fairly quickly (27+lbs in less than 2.5 months). Although I never would've considered myself obese, I have dieted numerous times in the past to "slim and trim." While I do account a lot of the success I've experienced in the past two months to a new attitude of self-love and responsibility to my long-term health (rather than the typical self-loathing and body image-disgust that accompanies most diets), I am extremely grateful for Lana's support and expertise and I know that having her on my team helped me reach my goal more quickly and healthily, and I am confident that the results are here to stay. Thank you Lana! P.S. I won't re-test for cholesterol until June 1st, so I don't have those results to offer; but I know without a doubt that I've hit all of my health goals.

I found Jamie's nutrition services after a long search for a dietician in LA. I opted for her…read more4-week + meal plan program. My schedule has been crazy since my husband has been battling cancer, and I needed some support to help reset my eating habits (which had been in rapid decline). On top of my demanding schedule, I have a complicated history with food. I've had disordered eating; have followed special diets ranging from veganism to the very meat-heavy autoimmune protocol; I have a ton of food allergies; and I am ridiculously picky. Jamie was incredibly supportive and empathetic. She listened carefully to my history and targeted her plan and advice to my individual needs. In my case, because I am dealing with overwhelm, she took a very practical, gradual approach to incorporating changes. For example, while she developed a full meal plan for me, she set the incremental goal of incorporating just two or three new meals in our first week. Jamie also did an excellent job with creating a meal plan that was realistic, delicious, and tailored to my picky taste. Coming from various experiences with disordered and overly strict eating, I really appreciated that Jamie was not judgmental or dogmatic about any particular food types. She didn't even criticize me for the random bowls of cheese puffs that appeared in my food journal. : ) Perhaps most importantly, Jamie is an excellent listener and asks great questions to target her program to your needs. She doesn't rely on the one-size-fits-all approach that I've seen with so many other dietitians. Wherever you are on your health journey, whether you need to make slow changes or if you're ready to hit the ground running full force, I am sure she will be able to help you meet your goals.

My mom loved her experience with Jamie and felt very comfortable right away, despite the visits being virtual because of distance (my mom is based in the Bay Area). Jamie provided compassion and empathy, while patiently listening to all of my mom's concerns and answering all questions. Jamie provided dietary recommendations taking into account my mom's cultural and dietary preferences. The plans were structured in a way that made it very easy for my mom to understand and follow. We have been very pleased with my mom's experience and highly recommend Jamie for your nutritional needs.

NexGen has been the ideal place to embark on my fitness journey. The gym is clean and modern,…read moretrainers are top-notch, and the whole team goes out of their way to optimize my training experience. They have been BEYOND accommodating in all respects, including as it relates to scheduling flexibility. I'm in the best shape of my life, and I am very grateful to NexGen for helping me get there. To address the critical review regarding billing, I can say from personal experience that they have always promptly addressed any billing adjustments that have been required when I have missed a scheduled session (because payment is made monthly in advance) and have never been dishonest in the slightest. It's extremely disappointing that someone would disparage a small business that is adding a ton of value to the local community, particularly when it falsely represents how the business is conducted.

He somehow remembers everything we've ever worked on and keeps our sessions super focused without being intense or overwhelming. I've made more progress here in a few months than I have in years of wandering aimlessly around other gyms. The studio is spotless, private, and has great energy. If you're looking for a smarter, more personalized approach to fitness--with zero intimidation and actual results--NexGen is the place.

RAW AND ORGANIC:…read more One of the toughest things I've written and definitely feeling vulnerable but here it is. Im gonna share something I don't normally talk about and when I do it's more as a joke. I graduated high school at 198lbs and in the 26 years since then I battled with my weight. I learned to "embrace it" rather than fight it. I started buying "Big Dog" shirts, I became a dad and went by "Big Daddy" all as coping mechanisms with the fact that I was overweight. In my "prime" I tipped the scales at 300lbs. I would go to lunch with some buddy's and would joke that I would order the family pack all for myself. I think you get the picture. I completely embraced the life of excess, I ate really well. I drank really well, I smoked cigarettes. I used to joke and say "I drink, I eat, I smoke, and I make a really darn good living." Through it all thankfully not a single cholesterol issue, no diabetes or blood pressure issues. Or so I thought, until earlier this year. Forget what perception social media creates. Earlier this year my life was out of freakin control. I had a serious panic attack and ended up at the doctors. He says to me, "I've been telling you to lose weight, and now here you are with a need to take blood pressure medication". A month later my blood pressure was still high and we had to double up my dosage, and even then it was still high. I needed to do something. I did the obvious, I quit smoking, eliminated drinking, started being a little more consistent with my exercise still not much help. I needed professional help, I have kids, a family, friends still need me, I felt like I was gonna die way too soon if something didn't change. I try to surround myself with good positive influences and I can't thank my good friend Christine Bou Sleiman enough for her help in this journey.

I struggled with terrible bloating, weight gain, horrible stomach issues, loose stool and terrible heart burn. Prior to finding Christine I seen many doctors and stomach specialists. They did many test including a colonoscopy and endoscopy procedure. Throughout the years of all these trials to my surprise they could not figure out my problem. I was so discouraged and ready to finally give up and then I received Christine's info. I decided to try one last time and worked with her. She quickly ordered a stool sample test and said this test should give us the answers we need. I was reluctant to do this test but decided to give it a chance. One she received the results she seen I had very high levels of H-pylori and candida something non of the other doctors detected. After these findings I was given a regiment of supplements to follow to cure these issues. Again I was reluctant to go through this process because it seemed a little overwhelming but again decided to give it a chance. At first I really didn't see much change but then about 4 weeks into it I started seeing and feeling a difference. I then continued the protocols and continued to get better and better. I was so surprised and excited this was finally all working out. After completing the process I felt great. Absolutely amazing in fact. Christine was amazing throughout and entire process. We had multiple follow ups and she made everything very easy for me to order the supplements I needed. Many of my friends and family seen my transformation and also can't believe what she did for me. For the first time in over 2 decades I feel awesome. I'm so so thankful for all her hard work and dedication to her patients. If I can give any advice is stick with it and follow through with what the protocols are and I'm confident she can help with what your dealing with. Even though it may seem overwhelming and hard it's definitely worth! If you read this Christine I can't thank you enough for everything. You are amazing!

Dr. Yong has been one of the most impactful physicians I have ever had…read more I came to her with long-standing chronic pain and fatigue that had affected my quality of life for years. Instead of brushing it off or treating symptoms in isolation, she took the time to do an incredibly thorough history and truly listen. Her special training and interest in sleep health led her to identify a diagnosis that had been completely missed for over 35 years. Because of her insight, I am finally receiving appropriate treatment for something I had unknowingly been living with most of my life. In addition to that, I have complex medical and orthopedic issues, and Dr. Yong has been an essential guide in helping me navigate all of it. She looks at the whole picture, not just one problem at a time. Her strong connections with specialists and thoughtful referrals have made a huge difference in the level of care I've been able to access. Dr. Yong is thorough, compassionate, and deeply committed to her patients. I always feel heard, taken seriously, and supported. I am incredibly grateful to be under her care. She provides regular and frequent follow-ups, as well as consistent communication. I am extremely lucky to have her supporting my health.

I've been with her for over a year now specifically to resolve chronic obesity that I have struggled with most of my adult life. It has been a life changing experience. On top of working on my weight she has become my GP and either treats or refers me out for any health issues that arise. From Poison Oak to Inner ear issues, she will guide you through it all. She is extremely pro-active with whole health management and dedicated to making sure her patients lead long healthy lives feeling the best they possibly can. I searched for years and visited multiple doctors before I found her. If you are looking for a doctor that will take your health seriously and will work with you long term, she's your gal! I was pleasantly surprised that her office had moved from a medical building into a private residential home across the street. The parking is easy, and I feel so much more comfortable in this home like setting. The house doubles as a sleep research center in the evenings, so don't be surprised by the cameras and some of the equipment. It is used to monitor overnight patients during sleep studies. I love the girls who run her office!! They are integral to her successful practice. I have come to know and adore them over the last year. Booking appointments, prescriptions, referrals are always a smooth easy process. Most of their communication is done by email, which I love and prefer. They are professional and kind, running a quiet, peaceful office. With Marjorie's treatment and care I have seen remarkable success with weight loss. It has been done in a steady maintainable fashion all while regularly monitoring my blood work, bone and muscle mass, and blood pressure. It's never just about dropping pounds but about getting me to the healthiest version of myself. Thank you, Dr. Yong and Staff! You have truly changed my life for the better, I am so grateful for you.
