Managing my weight has been a constant battle in my life. I have always been considered big, but when my doctor told me that I was on the borderline of being considered morbidly obese - something changed. I am just 36 years old, already on blood pressure medication and I started to think about what the future holds for me. Thoughts of heart attacks, strokes, knee and hip replacements ran through my mind. The thought of not being around to see my 5 year old daughter graduate high school was enough for me to seek help.
I had tried other weight loss methods in the past, but inevitably the weight would come back. I did a lot of research and found at Peak Nutrition and Weight Loss what I had been missing. I felt their emphasis was not on getting me to lose weight to be healthy - it was to be healthy first....and the weight management part would come easily. I am making it sound a lot easier than it is and they use many different tools to accomplish this. The most important one of them in my opinion was the education they provided. I started the Optifast program in June of 2008. At that time, I weighed around 260 pounds. I finished the program in October and my final weigh-in was at 186 pounds. Also, I am no longer taking blood pressure medication. PNWL is responsible for showing me the way and providing the tools and support I needed to get here.

For the first time in my life I needed help with my weight. I watched many friends and family members lose weight and then gain it all back. I was determined to get it right the first time. I found Dr. Blackwell and Peak Nutrition and weight loss Center. The combination of a program with a 30-year track record of success, medical oversight and a wonderful support staff made my decision easy. I could not be more thrilled with the results!
Thank you Dr, Blackwell, because of you, I ‘ve got my energy and health back.

With the compassionate assistance of Dr. Blackwell and the nutritionists, I am already reaching my goals. The entire staff is warm and gracious - I can't imagine a more supportive team approach than they offer at PeAk Nutrition and Weight Loss Clinic.

This program has changed my life and the way I think about food. When friends notice your weight loss without you telling them anything about what you are doing, you really have accomplished what you have set out to do. I have been on a lot of programs, and this is nothing like the ones you see advertised. This program is about changing your life forever. I am very pleased with my results...

When I started Peak Nutrition and Weight Loss Clinic, I was well on my way to achieving weight loss at my highest weight ever in my life time of 330 pounds. My entering weight at PNWL was 271 and I was still in the morbid obese category. I am now 230 pounds and feel confident that I am getting the support and guidance I need to get through my weight loss journey. I am now down to the obese category and am still making significant strides at losing weight. I like the fact that many of my burning questions are answered through email. Everyone in the practice is so eager to help and encourage me. This process can be a very long and hard road, yet everyone at PNWL keep reminding me that they will be there to support me even through the maintenance period. I got introduced to the lipoden shot [B-12 plus amino acids to help emulisify fat] and that has made a huge difference in my energy levels... I find the team caring, supportive and professional. I appreciate their encouragement.

So far I have lost 47 pounds and have lost 3 dress sizes! It has been so easy without hunger and starvation. My hair, my nails, and my skin have never looked better. The staff at Peak Nutrition instruct and understand everything you experience while changing you lifestyle. The Nutrition Classes prepare you for your new body mentally and physically. I never want to gain this weight back and Peak Nutrition will help me to maintain. I travel for a living and have to eat out 3-4 times a week! No problem with their guidance and instructions! My whole life is centered around food and that does not need to change. Now, I know exactly how to lose weight while traveling and eating out and feeling good about myself.
When you wake up in the morning and you feel "small" and healthy, your whole attitude changes towards your life and how you treat others. Try it and see!

It has been a great 12 week journey for me. After losing almost 30 pounds and dropping 2 dress sizes I am empowered. The group sessions, which at first I though was a waste of my time, have been instrumental to my journey. Dr. Blackwell and his staff are crazy nice and supportive. I know this will be life-time loss for me.

Testimonials
When I delivered my son, I weighed 240 lbs from 160 (which was already not so good!) Within a few weeks the weight hovered around 210lbs and I began my weight loss journey. Although I was able to lose some on my own, I found that it seemed to stagnate after awhile and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong! I began the Peak Weight Loss Program and became aware of what true portion sizes really were, and discovered much about my own social/emotional eating problems. Their insightful approach has allowed me to attack weight loss from the correct direction, and I have truly modified my lifestyle to a much healthier, happier one. That is what I have enjoyed most- I learned to modify behaviors in order to achieve my weight loss, not follow some crazy fad diet. I now weigh 145, which is what I weighed as a sophomore in high school- I feel and look great! Thank you to the entire Peak Weight Loss Program crew!
