The folks at the Medifast Sunrise Center are simply amazing. I just hit my 1 year mark. I lost about 80lbs in the first 7 months. I'm now less than 5 lbs from hitting my 100 lb mark. After maxing out at almost 310 lbs, I finally decided to bite the bullet and join. So why did Medifast Sunrise Center stand out for me? I've tried several other methods in the past, but nothing stuck. After meeting with Terri and Angela on that first day (1/16/2015) last year, I was sold. Their goal is to have you lose the weight, but that is only the first step. During the weight loss phase, you'll mix Medifast meal replacements and your own "Lean and Green" meals. What really sold me was the transition and maintenance phases. After you complete the weight-loss, they will spend an equal amount of time transitioning you off of the Medifast meal replacements and onto a permanent lifestyle. Angela, Terri, Treva, Tyler, Kate, and Toni are all committed to seeing you through this permanent lifestyle change. I credit each one of them with saving my live, as well as helping me to improve my self-image, well being, and confidence. My blood pressure is also under control and I feel awesome! One more note: the other selling factor for me is this is not group therapy. Never been comfortable with that. It's just you and the nutritionist. To the naysayers, it comes down to this: 1. You have to commit. The nutritionists are there to help you help yourself --- commitment is on you. No plan will work if you don't stick to it and follow their guidance. 2. You aren't going to like all the food - they're meal replacements. You aren't going to be eating them forever either. They have enough of a variety that you'll find what you like -- stick with those. I personally love the cookie dough bars and the spiced pancakes! 3. Use their recipes. Treva has a yellow squash mac and cheese recipe that is to die for! 4. Go weekly - I actually look forward to my appointment every week.

I've struggled with my weight my entire life from my early teens to my early 30's and thought it was time for a change! I found Medifast through a commercial I heard on 96.1 and decided that random Thursday was the day to finally make that change. I had an amazing consultation with Terri where we discussed the program, counseling services and my favorite: the body scan. It was extremely informative to learn the breakdown of my body's structure and how the plan will get me to a healthy BMI. I'm happy to report that 6 months later I'm down 68 pounds and am SO close to my goal thanks to the amazing support of my counselor Tyler, and of course my friends and family! I highly recommend this program.

I am long overdue in writing this review. I would recommend Sabrina to anyone who wants to get…read morehealthy in an organic way! I had worked with Sabrina in the past and after years of struggling and as I have gotten older, I knew I had to reach out to her. I have always been active and I workout every day so that was not an issue for me. But I was still slowly and steadily gaining weight. I have tried every meal plan and/or diet you can think of spending hundreds of dollars a week on food and hours in the kitchen meal prepping, and nothing worked long term. I reached out to Sabrina in September and started working with her a week or so after my initial call. She made a few tweaks to my diet and my exercise routine, and the weight began to come off. We worked together until the middle of January. During our time working together I lost 20lbs. OVER. THE. HOLIDAYS. I am a social person, and food is always a part of that, so the holidays are especially challenging. If I can lose 20lbs over the holidays, anyone can. Since finishing my last session with Sabrina I have continued to lose weight. It doesn't come off as fast because I am not super focused on it, but that is what I love. It has felt easy to just keep doing what I am doing. The changes she made to my diet fit easily into my lifestyle. I finally feel like I am not on a diet, I have just changed the way I eat, and I am spending less money on food and spending less time on meal prepping than I was before working with her. I don't get on the scale a lot these days as I am more focused on feeling good than what the scale says, but every time I do, I am down a few more pounds.

I was in a slump and struggled with healthy choices for eating, time management, and exercising. I began to see improvements in my lifestyle after beginning the sessions. I began prioritizing things such as my health and my family over work. Sabrina has a wealth of information regarding healthy and clean eating and suggestions for meals and workouts. She even provides detailed plans to manage your time so that you as an individual are in control of your time. She provides customized coaching based on your needs. It is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend Sabrina for health coaching for healthy, happy living.

Having dealt with digestive issues for most of my life, finding little to no relief from…read moreconventional medicine, I finally decided to try something different, and I'm very glad that I did. While my symptoms had mostly become manageable over the past few decades, things had taken a decidedly different turn around the beginning of 2022, and while I was diagnosed as having SIBO, none of the medications (antibiotics, PPIs, antacids) I was given had much effect. Having done a bunch of medical tests that revealed nothing serious was wrong with me, and being quite frustrated, I looked elsewhere for relief. At the suggestion of a friend, I decided to try a nutrition/wellness specialist and randomly picked GetWellness Center off of the list in Yelp. I guess Diedre and her husband just looked like good people. I reached out via email, made an appointment, and when I arrived I was greeted warmly and the consult began. Several hours later I had a clearer picture of what I had been dealing with most of my life, and a real sense that Diedre cared about making me feel better. I think she said something along the lines of, "my friend, don't worry, I can fix this". And fix it she has. Her initial perceptions about what was going on with me were spot on, and have been confirmed by some follow-up testing she had me do (the hair analysis). While I am now taking what admittedly is a pretty good list of supplements and dietary aids, the way I feel cannot be denied. Sounds almost silly to say it but soon noticed I felt clearer, sharper, like a light fog had been lifted. My mood is better, my digestive issues have decreased by at least 90%, and my quality of life has definitely improved. I have to say that after the initial consult I came away a little overwhelmed with information, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a healthy dose of skepticism afterwards. However, I was willing to try it all, and one cannot argue with the results. So if you're sick and tired of feeling sick (and tired), I cannot recommend strongly enough that you give this place a chance to help. It's like they are on a mission to get us all off of bad food and bad eating habits, and get us on track for a healthier life. And who wouldn't want that?

I have always found the gym intimidating and working out a chore, but Angela has taken away the intimidation and created workouts that I enjoy doing. As someone who used to go to public gyms often, Angela provides tips and tricks to working out comfortably in a public setting. The workouts she creates for you have a variety of exercises, so you aren't doing the same ones every time. She also understands that you aren't always going to be motivated to go to the gym and has created workouts that can be done at home. Angela encourages you to listen to your body, so you do not injure yourself by lifting too much weight or using improper form. Angela demonstrates the correct form before having you perform the exercise, but also provides immediate feedback if she sees incorrect form. I really appreciated this as I have injured my back before and was scared to reinjure it. Angela taught me the signs that told me I was completing an exercise incorrect and was putting strain on my back. In addition to the workouts, Angela teaches you about how your eating habits affect you gut microbiome. I learned so much about cooking oils, macronutrients/micronutrients, supplements, and so much more, but it never felt like I was forced to learn or do anything. Angela provides you with the information, and lets you decide what you do with it. Unlike other personal trainers, who want you to be reliant on them forever, Angela wants you to be comfortable with working out so you can go to the gym by yourself. I have learned so much from her and am so thankful that I had the chance to work with her. She has truly changed my habits (and life) for the best.

Angela was very punctual, dedicated and informative professional.

She also gave me some helpful tips on nutrition, but the best part is that I got to take all my exercises with detailed instructions home, so I can do it on the days I don't have classes at home. Highly recommend!

This was really one of the best gifts…read moreever for me this year, because I've been dealing with some major upper back, neck, and shoulder pain. I got there quite early so I had time to look around. The waiting room is very clean and nice, albeit a bit sparse and quiet. The receptionist was very friendly though and greeted me immediately. Dr. Todd asked me if I had any current aches or pains (Why yes, yes I do!) and then gave me a rundown on how he would perform my massage. He also let me know that I could have him adjust the pressure/touch at any time during the massage. I don't like my massage to hurt a lot, but I am aware that there will be some pain because I like have my knots and tight spots worked out well. I didn't need Dr. Todd to adjust the pressure, because it was perfect for me. Ahhh hurts so good! I could really feel the knots loosening up little by little as he performed the massage. I know that these things cannot be magically fixed in one appointment, but I could tell that my shoulders and neck weren't nearly as tight as they were when I walked in. There were only two aspects of my visit that weren't 100% ideal for me. It was a bit chilly in the massage room (which detracted a bit of that warm and cozy, I-just-got-a-massage feeling), and also the oil used left my back a bit greasy. Overall though, this was a great massage and I would like to return, and SOON!

I still have pain, but now I can live with it. Dr. Todd is an important part of my total treatment.
