Last night we attended our first Serotonin-Plus party....a gathering of friends of one of our patients who were interested in learning more about our program. Jessica and I had a really fun time...it felt like a town hall meeting without any political rancor!
One of the people attending the gathering was a person who had been in our program previously. She and her husband lost a significant amount of weight and she shared with the group "before and after" pictures. The changes aesthetically were astounding.
The part of her story last night that made me more proud of the program's results was her statement that her husband was able to discontinue the majority of the medications he had to take prior to his weight loss. Hypertensive and high cholesterol meds were able to be stopped. She also said he stopped snoring in the first week!.
From the reduction of sleep apnea to improvement of acid reflux and joint pains to the reduction of the risk for serious cardiovascular events and cancer, losing weight has an incredible impact in a positive manner on health. Listening to a personal story in a social setting was incredibly gratifying for us.
