I started my wellness journey with Physician’s Plan May 7^th 2019 in anticipation of an event coming up in the fall I hadn’t stepped on a scale in years, and it was quite a reality check to see what it read. I had a goal weight in mind and I gave myself 6 months to reach it. I never really thought of myself as out of shape, overweight or feeling bad but I was. My first real challenge was being honest with myself about where I was with my health and wellness. Sounds easy, but was probably the most difficult part of my journey.

The team at Physician’s Plan was extremely positive and supportive at each of my visits, I saw them three times weekly for my B12 injections and a Friday weigh in. I looked forward to each visit. The team offered menu suggestions, how to make smart substitutions to recipes to make them healthier and helped with portion control. They encouraged keeping up with my daily journaling. It’s hard to ignore how many calories you’re ingesting when it’s right in front of you. They reviewed my journal with me monthly at my doctor’s visits and would make suggestions as how I might improve.
