Working with Dr. Kahan and RD Nicole Brown has truly transformed my physical health and overall quality of life. Beyond that, they've helped me begin to heal from the longstanding shame I carried around my weight and health. The changes I've made haven't been drastic, but rather small, sustainable shifts that have added up to a lifestyle I feel confident maintaining for the long term. Obesity is a chronic disease and I feel lucky that I have partners in care who can help me manage it for the rest of my life.

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!!!

She…read moredidn't provide any off-boarding for my time there - she just kind of stopped paying attention and acted like I was doing something improper. I was really offended. I had to do a lengthy examination of blood work to determine a treatment plan for overall fitness and I was expecting Dr. Knights to go over the improvements in my internal readings ~ to off-board; because I really did take the health improvements seriously. The visits in between were helpful. I entered myself as a patient for mental clarity. Sauna work, colon care, some IV stuff - but it was already backed by a personal interest and some information I already have in the natural medicines. I really don't like how some of the staff did not know how to professional enter medical needles into the skin - one of the girls really hurt me by improperly sticking me and I wish I had stopped all treatments that day. I think they can improve a tremendous amount and I am still offended that they don't respond to any of the unprofessionalism. I don't feel safe in their care so no ~ I would not recommend to anyone or feel safe recommending to anyone.

I completed Lindsay's 6 week program and wow! I can truly say that it was a life changing…read moreexperience!! In the past 4 years, I had gained 40+ lbs due to some special medicine I was taking (and probably some overeating of hamburgers too haha). I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Juice cleanses, special diets, pills, multiple private trainers, you name it and I had done it. Unfortunately, nothing stuck. Knowing my wedding was just around the corner, I had to do something to get the weight off for good. I wanted to feel confident on my wedding day! I found Lindsay through a quick yelp search and was intrigued. Let's get this straight. This is not a special fad diet or some strict eating plan, its a way of life! Lindsay gives you the tools, skills, and mindset to make a long lasting change in your lifestyle. During the course of the 6 weeks, I lost 8+ lbs and now (more than 3 months later) I'm still continuing to lose weight by following what she taught me. I plan to be at my goal weight in the next 3 months (in time for my wedding!) And most importantly, I feel fantastic!!!!! I feel like a whole new person. Yes, it's a monetary investment but it was worth every penny :) do it!!!

I'm very happy I decided to use Lindsay! I just completed her 6-week program. As someone who has…read morealways been fixated on the latest diet and exercise trend, I feel like this time I actually learned how to have a healthy lifestyle versus temporary fixes. What I appreciated the most was her accessibility. She would review menus of restaurants I was eating at or provide me with customized recommendations. When I was frustrated with results or what the scale said, she was non-judgmental and offered helpful advice for how to overcome cravings or emotional reactions. In fact, I was surprised (in a good way) by how much of the program was centered around mindfulness and balance. Even though the program only includes 4 sessions, I felt like I was in constant communication with Lindsay and she genuinely cared about my progress. She frequently sent email updates and checked in, and when I had questions, she was never more than a text away. I am excited to see continued progress. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone!

Completed a Profractional treatment of my face three weeks ago and have had excellent results so…read morefar. The reason for me to seek treatment was to improve my wrinkles. During the consultation, we both decided that for the best results that I should do pro-fractional and they were right! PA Dave Bauder was very professional and knowledgeable. I was given everything I needed for before and after the procedure. The clinic followed up the day after to make sure everything was okay. I had about five days of downtime and started to clear on day 7-9 looking forward to seeing the final results in the weeks ahead. I also started using the anti-aging line that Weight Loss and Vitality carries the ZO by Zein Obagi. I have seen amazing results with that. I also go to their Alexandria clinic for routine lunch-time chemical peels every three months. The picture below is my before and after so far of my profractional treatment.. just three weeks after !!! PS look at the wrinkles on my nose they are gone !

If you're a natural skeptic like me, and anytime you read a 4 or 5 Star review of a business, you…read morenaturally assume it's a fake review planted by the business itself. Well let me assure you I am 100% NOT associated with Weight Loss & Vitality with exception of being an actual patient. I just finished my second Sculptsure procedure for the removal of fat in my flank (side) areas. And let me let tell you that the procedure definitely does work! I actually started seeing results after my first treatment. My clothes started to fit a bit looser, and form-fitting dresses actually to fit my form. But I want to also be very clear that the procedure is not an instant weight-loss procedure. It takes several weeks to start to see the results. (I also exercise several times a week and drink 2-4 cups of green tea a day). The procedure is also not totally "painless" either. There can be some mild discomfort as the skin heats up to shrink the fat cells below the surface. I took 2 Tylenols prior to both procedures and it definitely help minimize my discomfort. The procedure is only about 25 minutes and the time goes by very quickly. All-in-all it was for me it was definitely worth the time and expense. I would absolutely recommend Weight Loss & Vitality for anyone that struggles with those stubborn pockets of fat that simply wont go away.
