I am overdue in writing this review. I am over the moon with Innovative Vitality and cannot thank Meredith enough. I have lost 65 pounds since July 2024, and I am getting really close to my goal weight. The work started with a glucose monitor so I could get a sense of the types of foods I was eating and how they impacted my blood sugar. At the same time, they did thorough blood testing. Meredith took the time to go through every result, and I learned a lot about what was happening in my body and the supplements I needed to make improvements. Let me be clear, yes, they recommend supplements, but they don't overload you. The recommendations are reasonable and focused on your specific blood test results.
When I started working with Meredith, I was also borderline type 2 diabetes, so she started me on a GLP-1 medication. I had been curious about these medicines but was also nervous about starting one because of potential side effects; however, when I say this medicine is life-changing, I really mean it. I can't remember a time in my life before starting on a GLP-1 when I was not thinking about or craving food. I would think about what I just ate, what I wanted to eat next, when the next time was to eat, and much more. It was exhausting. On the GLP-1 medicine, the food thoughts are gone. It is amazing. I also feel full quicker and don't have cravings like I used to. That being said, I can still enjoy all the foods I have loved; I just find I don't need the amount of food I used to have. I never thought I could feel satisfied with only a few bites of dessert, but it has happened.
I would not be where I am today without Meredith's support. I see her once a month in person for my In Body weigh-in and an overall check-in. I can also text her when I have questions or need something between appointments. If needed, I could also make a telehealth appointment or quickly get an in-person appointment with her, but I haven't needed that. I add this because part of the service with Innovative Vitality is more personalized care.
Every visit, she takes the time to walk me through my In Body results to be sure I understand the changes happening with my body. More than that, I feel like Meredith celebrates positive results with me. She really cares about my progression and how I am feeling. I usually come to every appointment with a list of questions and/or health concerns unrelated to my weight loss. Meredith makes the time to discuss everything on my list and provide me with treatments and recommendations.
If, like me, you have tried a million diets that haven't worked and are beginning to feel hopeless, or if you just want to feel more in the driver's seat to lose weight, then I really encourage you to consider starting at Innovative Vitality. Meredith is excellent, but I am sure the other doctors there are great since it is a great medical practice overall. read more
