The doctor had me do more in depth horomonal testing in order to understand my unique circumstances better & treat accordingly. I've been on the supplements for 1.5 weeks and am already down 5lbs strictly from addressing the inflammation in my body. Giulietta is kind & understanding, which is hard to find unless you seek out specialty settings like this. Her and Dr. Thakkar went above and beyond to understand me & my lifestyle to tailor to me accordingly. I cannot say enough good things about this clinic & it is worth every penny.

I have 3 kids under 5, with my youngest just turning 3. I was finally ready to lose the 25-30…read morepounds I've gained over the years with pregnancy and stress of having little ones. I searched the internet and found Chicago Weight Loss. I was very worried at first, but as soon as I walked in Joan made me feel like family. With the blood test on my first visit, I found out I had an under active thyroid and that was contributing to a lot of my weight gain and failures to lose weight! So I went on the Phentermine to curb my hunger, and began thyroid medication the following week. As always, I lost the first 5 pounds right away. But after that, I have been losing 1-2 pounds every week. I'm on the 12 week program which includes the IV therapy which I think is helping so much w the weight loss. I'm on week 10, down 20 pounds, and feel amazing. My pants that used to barely fit are falling off and I even bought a pair of jeans in the same size I was pre-baby!! I should be close to my goal of 25lbs by the end of 12 weeks, and plan to continue on with phentermine another month or so to lose the 30lbs. I can't thank Joan, Dr., and staff enough for everything. Customer service is amazing and they help put each person on their own customized plan that fits their needs. Very highly recommended!!

On 8/24/2020 I was told that my Vitamin D was low along with a few other minor vitamin deficiencies. I was told that I would be put on a schedule to come to the office and have these vitamins administered by IV. I told Carla Brook that I was not going to be administering anything by IV and the costs quoted was outrageous. I requested a copy of my labs to be posted to my portal. Nearly three years later, they have never provided me with the lab results that I paid for and simply ignore my requests. I've now requested that my information in their custody and on their portal be destroyed and my account closed. No answer. I can't speak for the glowing reviews this practice gets because this is the worst I have ever experienced.

Recently I had pulled my back and shoulder shoveling snow. I immediately called their office and got right in. I have been seeing Dr. Joe Muraglia.

In November 2017, I started having severe nerve pain in my head. The pain was so intense, I would…read morewake up crying at night. I went to urgent care and was told I had occipital neuralgia (the nerve that runs from my spine into my head was either pinched or damaged). Urgent care had no good solution. They gave me a steroid and told me to take over the counter pain meds. The steroid helped, but as soon as I was finished with them, the pain returned. I felt helpless. I decided to do some research on the condition and how to fix it. I came across a video that had a chiropractor stating that he could fix this problem. This was just what I needed. However, I found out he was located in Colorado. I am in Illinois. I decided not to give up. I looked up several chiropractors in the area and found Dr. Joseph Riggio with Itasca Health & Chiropractic. Upon my first visit, he was VERY thorough. He was straight forward with his diagnosis and the treatment that lies ahead. He told me it will be painful, but it will be worth it. We will trade pain for wellness. I have to say, the treatment was indeed quite painful, BUT it worked. Within 2 months, I was completely pain free. Even the treatment itself didn't hurt anymore. I felt like a new woman. If the patient is interested, Dr. Riggio also will discuss leading a healthy lifestyle. He has a wealth of wonderful supplements that help heal and nourish the body. With great hesitation, he convinced me to try a 30 day detox. I was terrified. I am happy to report that I followed the detox to the letter and have lost 19 lbs. within the 30 days. I am still losing weight and have no desire for fatty, greasy, unhealthy foods. It is just not appealing to me anymore. I would highly recommend this detox for anyone that wants to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle. It was much easier than I thought it would be. Dr. Riggio is amazing. He really knows his stuff. I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about fixing their issue and not just putting a Band-Aid on it. His assistant Megan is pretty awesome too. Always happy to help and answer any questions.

Several years ago I was searching for a Physician and Medical Group that would be willing to take…read morethe time to listen, be proactive, and ultimately aid me in being a better steward of my overall health. WellessenceMD and Dr. Kara Nance not only did this; but has continued to demonstrate such in the years I have retained them as my Primary Care Physician. Their interest in my success is genuine and it has never waned. If you want to form a relationship with a group that is: cutting edge, compassionate, resourceful, and proactive then you need to give them a call. Ohh, I forgot to mention that my best friend in life also used Dr. Nance for medically supervised weight loss and well being. She not only lost in excess of 105lbs but she has kept it off for 5 years and is now living her life to the fullest. Craig Inverness, Illinois

Please, for your own good, DO NOT COME TO THIS CLINIC!!…read more The practitioners are under-qualified hippie pseudoscience bullshitters Everything Wellessence MD (including the official website) is AI slop. Their "medical advice" is DANGEROUS If you aren't convinced, just keep reading. ________________________________________ The practitioners are under-qualified hippie pseudoscience bullshitters Joshua Marable is just a glorified masseur & Heidi Mc Glain just seems like a good old nurse, but Kara J Nance is something else. I went to see Dr. Nance myself, and believe me when I tell you she was the most condescending and passive aggressive doctor I've ever been to. In her website bio, there's a whole lot of non-medically related, random info aimed to convince you it makes Nance any better of a doctor. Basically, Kara Nance is a podcaster who co-wrote a couple of books on computer software and another on female intuition with a FOX-News-famous CEO and media personality... yikes. She's also a certified Enneagram Teacher--which means she makes personality tests. In fact, she takes great pride in that she has "an aptitude for critical thinking" solely because the Meyers Briggs personality test told her so. Ironic for someone so reliant on AI... which brings us to the second reason you should avoid this place: ________________________________________ Everything Wellessence MD (including the official website) is AI slop. Unless you want to get charged for a bunch of AI bullcrap being thrown at you, don't come here. When I met with Dr. Nance, she openly typed my medical issues into Google Gemini asking for solutions, then read it out to me off of her laptop, printed out the AI response she called "doctor's notes," charged me, and sent me home. I tried telling her I didn't agree with AI-generated medical advice,--after all, I came to see a professional, not an LLM--but she just told me I seemed crabby and could go see another nutritionist if I didn't like it. I did. She said you're insane, Kara. Come on Kara, let's hear the AI-generated comeback on that one. ________________________________________ Their "medical advice" is DANGEROUS Before offering me (a minor) weight loss drugs despite coming back with a healthy BMI, Kara first provided me with an AI-generated workout routine and a "No Carb, No Starch" diet. Good thing I did my research, because otherwise, I probably would have wound up passing out & sick. The no carb, no starch diet was framed as sustainable, but called for less than 20g of carbs, about 75g of protein, and 5g of fat in a day. That adds up to just 425 calories A DAY. In an attempt to get something from it, I did some calculations and applied the same ratio of macros described in the diet to a reasonable 1,468 calorie diet. But it now called for the consumption of 73g of carbs, 16g of fat, and 257g of protein (that's more protein than in an entire rotisserie chicken!). The diet is dangerous & beyond saving. ________________________________________ If you made it this far, I hope I've convinced you not to waste your time and money on this horrible clinic like I did. Protect yourself and find legitimate, good doctors.

Against my initial instinct, I made an appointment for a $47 scan which was advertised on a local…read moremorning news segment. During this initial high-pressure, 2-hour consultation I was aggressively up-sold to a $1,600 "tuition" guised as a minimal monthly commitment . It was NOT clearly explained to me that the initial fee was $947 PLUS $109 per month! The consultation was confusing and overwhelming. The salesperson literally contradicted what was stated in the mandatory instructional video, and when called out stated that it was an 'old video'. I knew better than to make a commitment without researching the business and its practices and products, but went ahead and signed the contract against my better judgment. Within 24 hours I attempted to contact the business by phone and email in an effort to negate the contract and initiate a refund as I knew this program was not for me. The only response came in the form of an ignorant, unprofessional 3 paragraph text which read (in part): "I would NEVER want to take on any client who isn't committed to bettering themselves." This type of unprofessional, rude communication is unacceptable. I returned all materials to the business within 3 days and signed a contract cancellation, but never received a refund or any further correspondence. I even offered to settle for 1/2 of the $500 paid to compensate for the employees' time. Not only did they not respond, they charged my credit card for the remaining $400 the following month and attempted to withdraw an additional $109 for the monthly fee (*AFTER I had signed the cancelation and returned all products). Complaints have been filed with the BBB and the Illinois Attorney General. I have also disputed all charges with my bank. All told, I was charged nearly $1,000 for a wasted 2 hours of my life and to be treated like human garbage. DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS.
