Nice people and very straight forward in what is happening…read more I've lost over 35 pounds in three months, and on my way to losing more. I believe with their help and suggestions I can accomplish that and maintain the weight by following the advice I was given and it will be daily and close to what I am doing now. They offer a variety of protein products but never push them. The products they have do help with my diet. I eat at least five meals a day but small amounts. Once you start it's easy to follow. You can also get appetizer suppressants that helps you from craving foods that you are used to eating, lucky for me I don't need them since I know what to stay away from. If you want to lose weight quickly without all the nonsense then I highly recommend this place. So far I have been sticking to my diet and workout plan and the results I am seeing are phenomenal - thank you

The Healthy Way is the only program that integrates sound dietary knowledge, support,…read moreaccessibility, and staff commitment. It is a place that anyone would feel at ease, as everyone I have met and/or worked with is truly caring and invested in guiding you towards whatever your personal goals are. As a nurse myself, I had done a lot of reading related to food and nutrition in order to build upon what I had learned over the years, and I thought I was generally proficient. Intellectually I had some solid tools, but emotionally I was struggling with my weight and couldn't figure it out after a lot of personal examination and reflection. I was so convinced my weight gain was due to perceived health conditions, menopause related stuff, extreme stress that I'd experienced recently, etc. I resisted asking for, much less paying for, help. I will say this: it's the best personal and financial investment I have made, period. It was simple: it really was the food, and the way I was utilizing it every day. The program is completely holistic in that although the program is food focused, the positive side effects include feeling so GOOD physically and emotionally. It's a cliche but it's been six weeks, I've lost an average of 3 lbs/week and it has already changed my life. What sets the Healthy Way apart is the fact that they are committed to your HEALTH, which encompasses more than weight loss. This is the first time that I felt like I have learned the proper tools that have me set for life. I have discovered how bad I felt with certain foods that were not necessarily unhealthy, but for whatever reason were not working for me. Some basic thoughts on the program: 1. Anyone can do it. My schedule is crazy, I commute, and they outline everything so you can build it into your life. 2. Financially it is completely do-able. They have different plans, are flexible and this program is the ultimate form of self care. 3. Convenience: it's here in town! You can also do an online program. Counselors can do phone appointments as well as in person. They don't push products or other foods, and there's a store inside and some key items I buy are cheaper there than the grocery store. This program covers every possible life scenario. 4. The program is supported by the medical community. It's not junk science or cult like and weird. You don't need to unpack your life story to find success here. It's grounded in integrity and it works, and it's centered around normal food, not pre packaged items. It is individualized and your program can change at any time based on your needs. 5. Cheri, the owner, is so passionate about health....everyone's health! What she's created, along with the staff there, is incredible and enduring. They make you want to get on the scale-if you can believe that. They make it easy because they're so supportive, there's no shame ever and they have a plan for everything. Accountability is not a horrible thing. I'm so grateful for every single staff member. I can keep going but the bottom line is, I fully endorse this program for anyone who is ready to invest in themselves, who is ready to discover the path towards their own health. When I think about it, the Healthy Way is the best kept secret.

I have been a client of JumpstartMD for years, at several locations (Burlingame, Corte Madera, and…read moremost recently Capitola). The first two times I lost weight and kept it off as long as I followed their program. My experience this time was not as good. Jillian was the PA at the Capitola location from the time I started in October 2020 until a few months ago. She was an outstanding clinician and very helpful to me, as we navigated the changes to my thyroid levels. Since she left, there has been a revolving door of qualified and not-so-qualified people at this location. My weight loss has stalled. The person I most recently met with, who didn't even have the courtesy to introduce herself, told me that the laws of thermodynamics were causing me to not lose weight. At that point I knew that there was no talking to her and no point in continuing this program. What impressed me about JumpstartMD initially was that it was based on science. "Thermodynamics" has no place in the science of weight loss, nor does someone who is under-educated and smug about it. I met with Dr. Sean Burke as well a few weeks ago and he also insisted that the problem is that I need to cut calories. Blame the victim. It seems to me this program has lost its way.

It has exceeded my expectations and I can't imagine not having these classes be a part of my daily routine. The locations they use are inspiring and diverse. They change each week Seabright, Natural Bridges, Westcliff, Pogonip, Wilder, Fredrick Park, DeLa Vega, Capitola, etc. There is a variety of natural elements that are incorporated into the workouts which keeps things interesting. The workouts become more challenging each week and include cardio, core, strength, and stretch. It's a total body workout and the trainers are focused and creative and they always bring a little something new and different to their sessions. They always provide modifications if necessary and the atmosphere is fun and non-competitive and more about exceeding your own previous limitations. OHF also does a very good job communicating via email and providing opportunities to make up a session if you have a conflict. The prices are very reasonable and the value is outstanding.

The WW weight loss program is excellent, as is the staff at this location. This review addresses…read morethe financial side of being a WW member. I am a lifetime member who had not attended in a few years. I rejoined and reached my goal weight. I assumed, erroneously as it turned out, that the requirement was still that one had to weigh in once a month or pay the next time you attend a meeting. I found out, quite by chance, that there is a "billing cycle"date that determines when you can weigh in and not be charged. Basically, you have to weigh in within 7 days of the date of the month you joined. Since I joined on the 29th of the month, I have to weigh between the 29th and the 2nd or 3rd of the following month (depending on the number of days in the month with the 29th). Otherwise, I my credit card will be automatically charged. I am not at all sure it is legal to charge a credit card without informing the cardholder, IN ADVANCE, of the terms and conditions to which they are agreeing. In addition, there are only meetings one day a week at my location, so I have only ONE DAY a month when I can weigh in and have it count. The fact that there is no formal way that WW notifies members of the "rules" for charging the credit card boarders on being a scam and may, in fact, be illegal. The fact that the window for weighing in and having it count is so short is absolutely absurd, and that aburdity is compounded by the fact that there are so few in-person meetings.

Rather than being a "diet," Weight Watchers is a lifestyle change, and one that you can live with. It focuses on making better, healthier choices about what you eat and being more active. The Capitola Center is a warm, friendly place with knowledgeable employees who are all Weight Watchers Lifetime Members themselves. They know the journey, the struggles, and are there for their members every step of the way. For a very reasonable price you get a weekly meeting which is part class, part support group and mostly just a great time with friends. Weight Watchers also offers an inexpensive monthly pass that includes the meetings and all the wonderful online tools that Weight Watchers also offers. I attend the Wednesday night meeting at 6pm. Our meeting leader is Lori Brenchley Higingbotham and she is an absolute gem. I have had several meeting leaders over the years and Lori is the gold standard - warm, intelligent and down to earth, with a great sense of humor and a way of presenting all the information we need while making us feel a part of the process, I think Lori should present a master class on the way to run a Weight Watchers meeting. Our receptionist Joanne is also incredibly supportive and a huge inspiration! These two fabulous women and all of the wonderful members in the group really make me believe that I will reach my weight goal. The program is great, but it's the people at the Weight Watchers Capitola Center that really make this my favorite place to go every week!

I was skeptical it could work for me, as I have vowed to stay away from diets, with my only results (from Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, LoseIt app, juicing, etc) being minor success with ultimately gaining back all the weight and then some. It was also important to me to only do something truly healthy. I finally took the plunge and all I can say is: WOW!! I feel fantastic. My body has lost the inflammation and joint pain and I have lost 52 pounds so far in 7 months. The program is healthy, doable, affordable, and doesn't require willpower - only 100% commitment and discipline, easily given with such great results. For the first time in my life, I look forward to getting on the scale each week. I get to eat chocolately and other sweet things - no deprivation here. Dr. Tom offers the holy grail on healthy, fast, permanent weight loss. I wish doctors and the medical community would learn from him because it's NOT a matter of counting calories and increasing exercise, as falsely promoted by the medical establishment. Dr. Tom shares what he knows - the education component is fantastic. Also, his psychospiritual approach embraces the whole person during the process. He is a brilliant person, a gifted doctor, and has developed a pitch perfect program for a safe, healthy, fast return to excellent health; including body weight and composition.

I was really nervous at the idea of injectables, and I'm so picky I was afraid I wouldn't like the outcome. Great news, I LOVE the results. I am so happy with Dr. de Pena's work- he listened to all of my concerns and performed my filler with the utmost care and consideration of my goals and got me the subtle, natural look I wanted. I couldn't be more satisfied with my appointment with Dr. Tye de Pena. He is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, fair, and compassionate. I enjoyed him so much. Just 30 minutes after just one tattoo removal session, my tattoo was at least 50% reduced. Results with tattoo removal vary greatly, but I am just amazed with the difference I am seeing. I have been to a few different esthetic spas around the Santa Cruz and Bay Area, and I can easily say my experience at Santa Cruz Med Spa w by far the most satisfying and rewarding.
