I came in for help losing weight before my wedding, because I had been trying to lose weight for 9…read moremonths with diet and personal training/exercise and I had only lost 14 lbs in that 9-month period. I had gained 45 lbs since the start of the pandemic due to illness, stress, and aging (I'm now 40 years old), so it was just really hard to lose weight on my own. I found my dream wedding dress off the rack and it was 2 sizes too small, so I was getting desperate as it was just 2 months before my wedding and it still didn't fit. The specialists at Evexia listened to my concerned and history, and recommended I start semaglutide injections to help my body better lose the excess weight. From the time I had my first injection to my wedding was about 7 weeks, and I lost 16 lbs!! My dress fit and I was shocked and elated, and I'm so grateful for their help. Since then I have stuck with it, and now after 4 months I've lost a total of 24 lbs, even after taking a 3-week break because I was away on my honeymoon. All together including the little weight I lost on my own last year, I've lost 38 lbs and am only 5 lbs from my goal weight of where I was before the pandemic. I'm truly so grateful to have found this team and highly recommend their knowledgeable compassionate care for your health, beauty, and well-being.

I highly recommend her! I am not sure why some reviewers gave negative reviews regarding the customer service at this location. My experiences are wonderful! In my opinion, the staff at the Vienna/Tyson's office is very friendly and always seem to genuinely care about how I am doing on the program. It's a very positive environment. If you're reading this and thinking "this won't work on my body" or "my lifestyle won't allow strict eating habits"....you're wrong! I thought the same things and was very pleasantly surprised. Do this for yourself. It will change your life in so many positive ways!

My doc referred me to this practice to get some advice in losing weight. I went for a couple of…read moremonths and won't be returning. This practice is completely built around the Inbody 570 machine. Nothing more, nothing less. If you know what that is and aren't a fan, this isn't the program for you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's a good starting point. If you're going to a gym that has one, use it if you want and don't bother coming here. Here's the thing. I took up a legit training program during the pandemic, and have been hitting the weights 5 days a week with some low intensity cardio on the weekend and during the day. I built up a decent strength and cardio game, but the pounds have kinda stuck. My gym(s) have used the Inbody machine that this practice uses. they're pretty common place. So, why the two stars: Well, they're in the body composition game as opposed to straight weight loss, so that counts for something. They take insurance, which isn't a given in the weight loss game. Some of their practitioners are really good. I hate to say this, but a lot of them suck and aren't worth what they're getting paid. Let's talk about the aspects of this program I am not a fan of. First, their weight loss program is designed for couch potatos/people with low levels of fitness activity. That's fine, that's what most of us are, and heck my day job has me sitting on my butt. Here's the thing though. I hit the gym five days a week, and the nutritionists absolutely refuse to build that into my meal planning. Second, the calculation inbody uses for BMR (the basis for figuring out how many calories to eat) takes body fat into account but was calibrated on athletes (er, people with low body fat.). I got tired of this stuff and got a real BMR test done in Arlington, and my true BMR reads 20% higher than Inbody's guess. So the nutritionist put me on a 1400 calorie meal plan, when a high protein diet targeting about 1000 more calories is much more appropriate. I tried talking to the nutritionist about that, and she didn't want to hear it. I was pretty much told that if I wasn't willing to go along with the 1400 calorie diet, there was no point in continuing with the practice. IMHO the two stars is warranted for that. I should be able to get nutrition advice customized to *my* individual needs. If they're unwilling to do that, they need to screen for it during intake and say "thank you for coming, but this is the couch potato program, and isn't right for you." Second, Inbody has its issues, and being a slave to it can give misleading results. I made it clear I hate that thing, but nope, Inbody it is. TL;DR. This program is centered around the Inbody machine, and people who live a couch potato life style. If you're going to a gym that has this machine, this program isn't doing anything that your gym won't do. They definitely will not put you on a program geared toward somebody with an active lifestyle. Protip: If you have a decent fitness program but aren't losing weight, jack up your protein intake big time.

Steer clear. Months after I stopped going, I got billed for unexpected charges for 2 visits, when…read moreall other visits were 100% covered by insurance (except for that annoying Inbody machine charge). And the cost was different both times. When I inquired, they did not respond to my question. Colossal waste of time. You'll be required to see 3 people. 1 just weighs you. 1 is the nutritionist. Then you'll see the doc. Then you have to go elsewhere to pick up the medication, which you'll pay dearly for. All very inefficient and rote.

The team did a really in depth review of my labs and laid out a plan for the next few months. When I said I didn't want to be medicated and wanted to try supplements and other methods to improve my numbers, they trusted me to take an active role in my health, something a lot of medical practices don't do these days. I really appreciated that. The one downside is that they don't take insurance so you do have to pay upfront for the appointment. I just filed my claim and I'm waiting to see how much of this insurance will cover.

This place has changed my life!! I started the IP protocol in June in preparation for my wedding…read morebut also just out of frustration in trying to lose weight. I've been overweight my whole life and was able to manage to lose 100lb through diet and exercise while in college and grad school. When I started working the weight came back and then some and I have been trying to lose it ever since. I've tried everything from an array of diets, expensive gyms, etc., all to no avail. Completely desperate, I skeptically attended an info session and ended up signing up. Within the first 3 months I lost 45lb!!!! Here are some thoughts on the different aspects: The Clinic: The clinic is in a little strip mall in the Palisades, probably the only complaint I have in this entire review is the location of the clinic. You either have to drive or take a rare bus, but luckily driving is an option for me. I do wish they had a downtown location though. The receptionist is friendly and really helpful! Alina is the coach I have been working with for the majority of my time on the protocol. She is AWESOME!!! She's encouraging and nice when she needs to be but will also lay down the law. I hope she doesn't mind me saying but she's on the Protocol as well and knows how it feels. She has great attention to detail and will pick up on little things in your food journal. She also gives her personal phone number and is available almost always to provide advice-- I've texted her in desperate moments or when I just need a quick answer and she always answers quickly. She really cares for the people she coaches and it shows in her work! I have seen a couple other coaches but they were lackluster in comparison to Alina. I'm sure they would be great in their own right but I've been spoiled. The Protocol: As part of the protocol you meet weekly with a coach. Your initial consultation is 30 minutes and you go through a series of information and baseline measurements. Subsequent check ins are 15 minutes and you go over your measurements, food journal, and any questions or issues. The clinic is really good and efficient with these. The protocol itself is pretty simple and you get a sheet of paper with all of your instructions. As long as you stick to the sheet you will lose weight. Simple as that! The hard part is dealing with social situations but eventually your find ways around it. No exercise is required and there's a period that you can't exercise when starting the program. I actually like working out so this was a bit difficult, but eventually you find what works for you. It is expensive but in the end you save because there are no incidental expenses like happy hours, starbucks, gum, snacks, etc. Besides the cost of the IP products you have to buy lean protein and veggies which can be done on a budget. In the end it works out and it's definitely work the weight you'll lose. I even quit my gym membership so ultimately my net spending on fitness and nutrition is not much different to what I was spending before. It does have a lot of restrictions but the results are fast! Understanding that this is temporary will take you a long way with motivation. In Phase 3 and 4 of the protocol you can have butter and toast! Something I never thought I would be able to have again! The other piece is finding your routines, it takes some time to get there but eventually you fall into a rhythm and it becomes almost mechanical. The Food: This is obviously subjective. I have a huge sweet tooth so this diet has ended up working well for me because on what other diet can you have a chocolate shake for breakfast, a rice crispy treat for lunch, and wafer cookies for snack and still lose weight?! (These are my 3 faves) When you start the program they give you a sampler supply that's supposed to get you through the first week and then some. You get to try a variety of product and you soon figure out which foods you gravitate toward. The biggest thing is keeping an open mind that first week-- there were some things I loved and some things I hated. Eventually you'll come up with some staples that will become your go tos. I like to experiment with a product I haven't tried every now and then. I personally am not a huge fan of the entrees and savory snacks but that's just me. The pancake mix make great waffles that taste like normal ones and the maple oatmeal tastes like quaker oats to me! In additional there are several Pinterest boards, websites, facebook groups, etc. that all have recipes for IP products. For boxes of stuff I didn't like, I've always been able to find a recipe to use it up. For example the potato puree made great bread rolls! I also have a chocolate mug cake almost every day! I know I did a lot of research before signing up so I hope this review gives enough information for someone teetering on the edge of a decision. I would highly recommend not only this program but this clinic to anyone!!!

I have been going to Be-Lite Medical Center on and off for a few years. It is truly a diet plan…read moremedical center with top nurses, an exceptional doctor, and friendly approachable staff. At each visit, patients have to complete a form to document what occurred after the previous appointment. Then, patients are seen by the physician or nurse. Periodically, they administer EKG's and and request that you obtain thyroid tests, as well. I wish I had known about Belite years ago because along with a healthy diet and consistent exercise, the program works extremely well. By exercising regularly, eating healthy, and drinking water, I went from a size 20 to a very healthy size 8-10 in 6 months. From the guidance I receive regarding nutrition, I have learned to eat healthy for the 1st time in my life! This program works well for me. Over several years, I have been on Prednisone and received cortisone injections for my back. It is extremely hard to lose weight from Prednisone and Cortisone Injections. I am back with Belite again after gaining a ton of weight from prednisone and cortisone injections, and after ending treatment for my back. With Belite, I have already received positive results so far and I anticipate more weight loss in the future. If this program works for me, it will work for you!!

She is condescending ....and speaks as if she didn't hear or understood what I said. She doesn't care to talk about options and rushes you out while you are mid sentence. This was enough for me to question going back ever again. A waste of $160 dollars.... Edit: In their site, it says 135.00 for a follow up visit. I was charged 160.00 for less than 15 mins visit on Saturday 9/7 with a nurse practitioner who only took my blood pressure and flipped through notes. Nothing of value.

Not only has she helped me with a variety of issues related to improving my overall health and well-being, but she discovered the root cause of a long-term recurring stomach problem I had suffered with for a decade. Her treatment completely resolved the problem, which has now been a non-issue for 1.5 years. Seeing Dr. Goldberg has improved my quality of everyday life in very substantial ways, and I continue to rely on her excellent advice and wisdom when problems arise.
