I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Even as a child - I was overweight. This issue has been a source of pain that has affected every area of my life.

I've lost and gained back 20 or 30 pounds several times in my life. I've never been able to get real traction in a weight-loss effort or maintain it.

Working with Dr. Plourdé and The Plourdé Institute team - I've achieved and maintained more than 100 pound fat weight-loss for four years.

There are three things that have had a significant impact on my weight-loss progress;

First, Dr. Plourdé and I make decisions together based upon objective lab tests. Real numbers - no guessing.

Second, seeing a therapist on a weekly basis helped me determine the underlying triggers that led to self-medicating behavior with food. I also learned new ways to cope with stress in my life that are more congruent with my new lifestyle.

Third, Dr. Plourdé texted me every day during my treatment program. This was not only a source of accountability but just as much- a source of encouragement and reminder that I was not walking through this journey alone.

I feel better in every way. The emotional impact of my success is beyond words.

I would recommend anyone who is struggling with a weight problem to Dr. Plourdé and The Plourdé Institute.
