I started working with Chen about 7 months ago because I found myself with no energy or strength to…read moreget through my day. I tried to eat healthy but was constantly hungry when counting calories and snacking on whatever was in the office to get me through the day. I also thought I had a sweet tooth. Chen helped me realize that I actually needed to eat more, but the right foods, especially since I had some food allergies that caused inflammation. The doctor only told me to eat less to loose weight and get my blood sugar down, but that was it. Our bodies are all different and we need to eat according to our body's needs. I also began to plan my meals and snacks so I wouldn't have to resort to eating too much sugar which is the snack of choice in every office setting. Making sure I eat enough and a variety during my meals has taken away my sweet tooth and gives me enough energy to put in long hours as a litigator, pick up kickboxing again, and have enough time for my family. Medically, my blood sugar has improved greatly and I've lost 15 pounds. It's been a slow process with some setbacks due to travel, but I'm very pleased and will keep the knowledge she has given me to continue to live a balanced and healthy life. The thing I'm most grateful to Chen is that she listened and confirmed that I did indeed need to eat more. I'm deemed obese, but have played sports all of my life and have done well on physicals, but doctors still told me to loose weight and do it by reducing my calories. It was frustrating and made me feel like something was wrong with me because I tried eating less and snacking on carrots, but would still be hungry. I'll probably still be considered obese once I get to my healthy weight, but I'm fine with it now because I will know I am actually healthy. That peace of mind was well worth the cost of Chen's services.

I'm here ALIVE and THRIVING today because of Chen. When the doctors couldn't figure out what was…read moregoing on with my body & made me even sicker with rounds and rounds of medications, I was ready to give up. But luckily, I then found Chen. She took one look at me and knew it was food related and said she would help me figure it out. And that she did! I started working with Chen about 4 years ago. She is one of the few people I trust with advising me on how to care for my body and my autoimmune disease. I've even seen doctors in centers that purely focus on my autoimmune disease and they weren't able to answer all the questions that Chen has for me. Chen has supported me through every single step of the way on my health journey: - Finding my diagnosis (testing & interpretation), - Developing a nutrition & supplement plan, - Periodic consultations to adjust my plan while my body went through various cycles till it stabilized, - Educating me along the way how to listen to and understand the signs my body was giving me (knowledge/skills I will carry the rest of my life) - Tips on different foods/recipes to try and tips for food prep - As well as supporting through the emotional aspects of the journey (i can't tell you how many times i cried and she always listened, encouraged me to really let it out and supported me) Additionally, I've use her supplements, protein powders and protein bars for the last 4 years. I can't recommend them enough, especially for those with very sensitive bodies like me. She sources and produces her products specifically to be allergen free. The new addition to her line, the protein bars, are SO tasty that I almost don't want to tell you that. Most recently I've tried the energy reading/work with her. This for me is something I was excited to try as Chen and I had been trying to find the last little bit to get me to 100%. The results of the readings are always very spot on and a great data point to help show some other factors going on (food, environment, and emotional). I have to admit this was a very new experience for me and I wasn't sure what to expect, but seeing the reading and results has been mind-blowing. And on top of all this Chen herself is an ABSOLUTE JOY. She instantly makes you feel safe and supported the moment you see or talk to her. She will push you and call you out if needed. And she will also celebrate your wins and learnings with you along the way. I can't thank Chen enough. I didn't think it was possible to not only get my healthy body back but to be stronger than I ever was. I'm so happy to be alive today thanks to her and to get to go after my dreams knowing I have her support.

I lost 55 lbs over the course of a year with support from JumpstartMD and a GLP-1. The body…read morecomposition analysis was a game changer--it showed exactly how much of my weight was actual fat, which kept me focused on the right goals. I also appreciated having medical supervision while taking the medication. Today, I'm 10 lbs lighter than I was during a phase when I was working out five days a week. The difference is how sustainable this feels. A couple of pro tips from my experience: 1. Reuse what worked for you in the past. If you've ever successfully lost weight with a particular diet plan, bring it back. The GLP-1 takes the "white knuckling" out of dieting and makes it much easier to eat the way you were supposed to anyway -lean protein, vegetables, simple meals. 2. Slow and steady truly works. Be happy with one pound a week--or even maintaining during harder weeks. My entire 55-lb loss happened over 52 weeks. Consistency beats intensity. 3. Side effects were minor. I had a few small headaches and one or two nights of poor sleep after the weekly injection. Occasionally unhealthy food made me feel off, but that was rare and honestly a helpful deterrent. With healthy eating (which the medication makes far easier), it wasn't a problem. I meal-planned for about 10 months, and now I just naturally eat that way. Being at a normal, healthy weight again is worth every minor bump along the way. I have also encouraged 4 of my friends to do this as well and they are all having similar success. If it doesn't work for you, simply stop taking it but definitely try it with the support from the team at JumpstartMD Mt. View!

Dr. Gherman falsely accused me of exceeding my prescribed dose of medication. The bloodwork…read moreindicated an abnormal value and i have serious side effects after starting her prescribed protocol. Dr. Gherman refused to provide further treatment, stating that I had violated protocol by exceeding the dose. When I offered to show how much I had used, she told me that that I had obtained a second dose of medicine from another person and that she would be calling the police. She didn't even try and make a referral for another physician. Does she want me to have a health problem? This is highly unethical. How can someone like that practice medicine? I do not know why the blood work levels are so high. My ankles are very swollen, I have gained a lot of weight, and my blood pressure was up. It is not caused by exceeding the dose. I don't know what caused this problem. I want to get treatment. I don't want to gain 20lbs of weight! I wanted to lose 5-10 lbs and now. I don't want swollen feet or high blood pressure. I don't know why it happened but it could be related to the hormone therapy that Dr. Gherman put me on and I want to understand my health better. I'm concerned about my health. I had a positive attitude about Dr. Gherman. I was always happy to see her, even up until the day that she concocted the story that I was exceeding the dose. When she asks "how are you?", I respond "happy to see you." I followed Dr. Gherman's instructed dose by taking the medication once weekly on the same day. One time, I took it two days late, but other than that, it was every Friday. I am completely current on all of my doses and have not exceeded the dose at all, nor have I taken external sources of medication, as Dr. Gherman falsely claimed. The health problem I have is swollen ankles. Dr. Gherman was too busy during our prior scheduled appointment (I came 5 minutes early). She did not give the medication she said she would give me to counteract the problem. In the most recent visit, she said that the reason I didn't get the medication was that I had run out in a hurry, but that wasn't true! I left because she was too busy and I came back as soon as we both could meet. I was on time and she was overbooked. We agreed that I'd come back as soon as possible, and I called soon to schedule an appointment at the earliest time. I was not upset that she was too busy; I was understanding and did not mind coming back. The office staff was friendly. It has a very strong smell of plug in air fresheners (which gives me asthma). But compared to the egregious medical malpractice, I can't say these details make a huge difference in the overall care I've received. I'm really concerned about my ankle swelling and bloodwork values and I want to make sure that I am doing everything under medical supervision. I have been clear about this to all of my doctors. But after I told my primary care doctor about starting treatment with Maria, he was upset because he did not want me to do hormone replacement treatment (my hormone levels were a bit low and much lower than normal). My primary care doctor won't treat my swollen ankles because I went to do hormone therapy with Maria and Maria won't treat me because she wrongly thinks I'm exceeding the dose. Both of these doctors are acting wrongly. Dr. Gherman came to the wrong conclusion. It's a plausible explanation for why my bloodwork was too high, but it's wrong. She can ask if I'm exceeding the dose. But if I say I'm not exceeding the dose, we should try to figure out what is going on with the bloodwork so that we can fix the issue. She should not conclude that I am lying and then proceed to make up a story about how I have exceeded the dose by obtaining from a friend. I don't know how or where to follow up with my condition. I am concerned about my health.

I've been wanting to loose weight for a long time now; mainly for my own health. I wanted to loose the right way, and have the tools and foundation to continue regardless of a program. Dr. Weisman was recommended to me by my dad because of how friendly and understanding he is. During my first meeting (at the end of December) we talked about my short term and long term weight loss goal(s); at least 30lbs down by September 2016, and potentially more continuing on after that. I wanted to start off the new year right, by starting new health habits (typical idea). I wanted to prove that I had the will power, and persistence to loose weight and keep it off. Every week I was competing with myself; try this new weight machine, do this new recipe, how loose can you make your clothes? I was given 3 months to see what I could do. It's been 14 weeks now, and I've blown my short term goal out of the water and heading towards the long term. I've lost 31 lbs in 14 weeks, and still going.
