Don't let obesity steal your lifestyle and fun. Lose fat to take control.
Many of our patients had been suffering from chronic illnesses, some over the past several years before they underwent our wellness program.

After a few episodes, Dr. Huizenga evaluates participants Blaine and Ron and telling them how much they have improved their health.
“Blaine was once taking eight different medications per day, for diabetes, cholesterol, and depression, but now no longer needs any of them. Ron was once taking ten pills per day plus insulin, but he is now down to only one with a reduced level of insulin. Dr. Huizenga informs them that this reduction in medication will save Blaine a projected $733,000 over his lifetime, and Ron over $20,000 per year.”
