This is for the In person sleep study I did last week…read more I recieved a phone call asking if I'd like to come in at 9:45 instead of 9 am. I said that would be okay. I get there at 9:30 and fill out my paperwork. They sent paperwork to my email but I had already filled the same paperwork out when I came in office so I didn't think I had to do it again. I did. It did not take long. My technician was a man named Jerimaih. I think that was his name or Johnathan. I'm sorry I'm so bad with names! He was very nice. Coming into the building was creepy lol You put a code in and go upstairs or take the elevator. Walk all the way down the hallways to the left. When I was done filling out paperwork another lady came in saying her appointment was at 9:45 and Jerimaih let her know I was his 9:45. He told her that her appointment was at 9 and she proceeded to go back and forth saying she has a voicemail saying they changed her time. Never played it but kept saying she had it. Then said she didn't know if she deleted it. I told him someone had called and left me a voicemail asking me to call them back. My appointment was originally at 9 pm and they asked me if I would change the time to a later time. Before we went into the room he asked if I needed to use the bathroom. Then explained how he was going to hook up the wires to my chest, neck, head, face, bottom of my legs. I thought he said feet but nothing was placed on my feet. It sucked bad having all of that attached to me. He was polite. They add straps around your chest and stomach. There's a camera in the room. Nothings on the room except a chair, table, bed, camera watching you and the bed. I had a hard time sleeping. I toss and turn a lot and it was hard with the wires added to me. I kept waking up, woke up coughing. They wake up up at 5:15 I think.but I already woke up at 4:50 and sat up. Jerimaih came into the room asking me if I was okay. Which I stated I was. I get pains in my legs and arms at night and just explained that and I wake up constantly throughout the night. He said he would stop the study and come back to unhook me. Once unhooked they have you sign a paper stating you are awake and alert to drive him. He also explained the dr will look over the test and they will call me back in for the Cpap machine if they decided I need it. I actually do. I was told by the dr in the concord location many years ago that I did have sleep apnea but I never came back for the sleep test. I did the two day home study which they did not get anything from because the thing flew off my finger. That's why they had to do the in person study. Jerimaih had to tape the thing that goes over your finger to my hand because I told him the last one ended up on the floor! When you go to the study it's going to be uncomfortable having all of those things attached to you. The next day you will feel sticky on your head, neck, face from the stuff they stick to you. I felt like I was scrubbing forever to get it off. I would definitely recommend them. I see all the bad reviews and I'm sorry those people had bad experiences but mine is always pleasant when I come here. Hopefully I get my machine because my neurologist said it would help out a lot. Not sure how much data they collected. I feel like I had a hard time sleeping from tossing and turning and waking up coughing.

After wanting a second non-Kaiser opinion on my thyroid and having issues setting up an appointment online, I called and scheduled a video consult. The pre-paperwork was a bit lengthy and during our appointment we went over my story. While I was able to confirm with her that my current medication was the best course of action, I didn't love that I later met with a Kaiser doctor who provided me with documentation that hypothyroid patients can have nasal nerves that go, for lack of a better word, haywire (falls under the term non-allergic rhinitis) and that lowering my dose as she suggested might actually cause the nerve to flare up. Overall I felt like One Medical had a better intake that was more thorough and helpful, and John Muir Allergy was overall more knowledgeable. At the end of the day, the out of pocket cost for the appointment was around $240, and I essentially got what I was looking for which was a discussion about my medication but I don't plan to move forward with Jiva Health.

Overall, I am very happy with the program and the results. I did not count calories or enter meal details into the app (I did that last year with MyFitnessPal and it didn't help). Jonnesha is a great coach and helped me plan around upcoming travel, Thanksgiving, and Xmas holidays. Gave very pragmatic advice and suggestions. At $69/week, I think I came out ahead with reduced meal/beverage savings. Cut out the carbs and sugar (beer, wine, fast food, bad snack choices,...) and portion sizes. Eating less and healthier, plus enjoying vodka/soda now :) My experiences and Tips: * After years of promising to loose weight I jumped in with an aspirational goal of 20 lbs in 2-months. Was surprised I actually made it. * I stopped waiting for that perfect time and accepted that it will never happen (thanks for giving my the nudge Dr. Mark!) Jonnesha helped me plan around travel, parties, special occasions, and work craziness since I work for a start-up in San Jose. * Forgive yourself if don't lose anything one week. Happened to me 2 out of the 8-weeks. * Drank gallons of water and still got constipated, cutting down on the fiber helped. * No energy for exercise at 1200 calories/day, but did not atrophy as I feared I would. * Buy smaller clothes - that is the fun part. Now to keep it off. I moved to the maintain plan now to continue the coaching and keeping myself honest. I look at food much differently now (junk food is evil now - I do miss chips and salsa).

I have tried every weight loss program out there (Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach,…read moreAtkins, exercising,etc.). I found that those other programs worked very little in helping me lose weight and keeping it off. They just didn't help as much as I hoped they would. I felt like something was missing. Then I tried the program from the O'Connor Health Center and found that was the only one that was: -Easy to follow - Super Fast (I think it's faster than anything else in the weight loss industry) - Made me feel healthy/energetic - Eliminated hunger and cravings I lost almost 40 lbs and have kept it off since August 2015. That has never happened with any other program I have done. I really believe in this program. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to lose weight and feel great!

Hearing this gave me some reassurance that the program works extremely well. I was still a little skeptical because the reviews and testimonials seemed like they were impossible results to achieve. However, the gentleman was sincere about his wive's results. I did the program and I lost about 40 lbs total. I have kept the weight off since the summer of 2016. It was an easy program to follow and after I lost the amount I wanted to lose I found it was very easy to keep the weight off. I would highly recommend the program. Every once in a while stop on to say hi. The staff is very professional and friendly.

You can tell they really care about the experience they're creating for their guests. It's a great place if you're looking to unwind, reset, and treat yourself to some wellness time.

I know what "dialed in" looks like. I have records from when I was in my physical prime at 27. I never stopped training. I also work in the medical field now--specifically in operating rooms with Medtronic, around treatments for conditions like obesity and cancer--so I've seen both the fitness side and the traditional medical side up close. Today at 45, my numbers are better than ever. This is the change since August: Body fat: 22.6% 14.0% Fat loss: ~17 lbs down Lean mass: +25 lbs muscle gained Same body weight (~218 lbs) This wasn't a crash diet. This was a complete metabolic reset. What separates Dr. Gabe from everyone else: Full hormone optimization (not just surface-level) Looks at DHEA, pregnenolone, iodine, insulin resistance Comprehensive labs + consistent follow-up Actually treats root cause, not symptoms He also pointed me toward Why We Get Sick (Ben Bikman), which changed how I approach nutrition and insulin. Result: Energy is up Training is stronger than ever Recovery is faster Mental clarity is sharp Relationships (home + work) noticeably better This is not a "quick fix" clinic. It's a system.
