My treatment was specifically for weight loss, but he also offers hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for both men and women. He is intelligent yet down-to-earth, explaining things in a way that I can easily understand. He takes the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions. Dr. Brown is incredibly kind, non-judgmental, and shows a lot of compassion. He customized my weight loss treatment plan and made me feel like he saw me as a person rather than just a source of income. I used assisted medication for weight loss, but Dr. Brown also provided assistance with workouts and dietary advice. His approach is well-rounded and focused on making lasting lifestyle changes. I recommended Dr. Brown to three of my friends, and they are now patients. Attached are before and after pictures of my weight loss journey. Very grateful to have found Dr. Brown!

When I moved to Portland, I was well aware of 4 undeniable truths:…read more 1.) It rains all the time here. 2.) I'm not as fit as I once was. 3.) I'd be eating a lot of doughnuts and drinking buckets of good coffee. 4.) I needed to find a quality trainer post haste. Fortunately, I found Janan through a mutual friend, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. She provides a rare combination of fitness knowledge, experience and nutritional guidance -- all in the convenice of a private, well-equipped gym. And after an initial consultation, we created an individualized plan to improve strength and overall fitness...as well as combat my not-so-great eating habits. As a former athlete, I've worked with several top coaches and trainers (and some crappy ones, too). I know what works and what doesn't. Janan is the real deal and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trainer who can accommodate a broad range of clients with a sustainable, personal approach to fitness through diet and exercise.

A few trips to the ER and dealing with anxiety as well as an emergency surgery were the icing on the cake. I needed help to reset and get back on track to a healthy and mindful way of life. I was suffering from high stress, extreme fatigue & low energy, foggy brain, pain & stiffness, digestive issues, anxiety, weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood sugars, and the list goes on...My body was screaming at me to make changes and I finally heard the message as a cancer survivor, I had wasted too much valuable time and felt like I was running out of time. I had worked with Lila a number of years ago and knew that she was the one that would be able to help me regain my health & wellness, so together we set off to turn things around. Lila's approach is fact/data based coupled with her expertise and experience to create a customized approach for me. We did food sensitivity and micronutrient tests to understand more detail of my current situation. We then started the MRT/LEAP protocol which sounds like a lot but Lila breaks it down so it is easy to understand and follow (certainly helps that she is INCREDIBLY organized). I really enjoyed the process as it really made me aware and more in tune with how my body reacts to the things I eat. I have also really enjoyed eating a whole food diet as the flavors are so wonderful plus she sets you up with hacks and ideas to make this much more practical - even for us really busy people! Lila has also been a tremendous guide and resource when it comes to sourcing recipes, ingredients, and alternative or unfamiliar foods and has been instrumental in helping me to remove harmful ingredients & chemicals from my day to day. Lila has been such a great partner, coach, and teacher on this journey. She has helped me set reasonable goals, pushed me, and held me accountable, all of which I am incredibly grateful for. The results have been remarkable - We have been able to move my cholesterol, blood sugars, and inflammatory numbers SIGNIFICANTLY in 5 months, getting most of my numbers out of the danger zones. I have also dropped 20 lbs and still going. We have reduced my symptoms (based on symptom survey data) by 91%. I feel so much better as all of my symptoms have dramatically improved or gone away. Lila has helped me to relearn the importance of managing and minimizing stress where I can and has affirmed for me the ABSOLUTE power of food, nutrition, self-care, and exercise as medicine for the body, mind, and soul! I would recommend Lila without hesitation to anyone that wants to invest in their health and wellness and wants an active partner in that process!

I reached out to Jessa at Mod Physique when I was around a year postpartum. My body had not bounced…read moreback from pregnancy in the way that I had hoped and a year after giving birth via c-section I felt like I still looked 3-4 months pregnant. Carrying my ever-growing child had become painful in my abdomen and I overall felt like pregnancy had wiped out my strength and confidence in my body. My efforts to remedy the situation myself had proved fruitless. My initial consultation with Jessa was enlightening -- she saw and understood so many things about my body and its condition that I would never have figured out on my own. Over about six months and 8-10 sessions (mostly via Zoom), Jessa crafted and incrementally enhanced an exercise routine to build back my core strength, straighten my curved spine, and resolve my mommy pooch. After a few months, the results became obvious and encouraging. I have not historically been an "exercise person" and approaching a personal trainer felt intimidating. I appreciate that Jessa met me where my knowledge and skill level was at, took the time to explain the exercises and their purpose, and adjusted the program to accommodate the amount of time I had to realistically spend on exercise during my busy days as a working parent of a toddler. Working with Jessa helped me regain a sense of agency and ownership over my body that I had lost during the experience of pregnancy and I'm grateful to have found her.

Edit and Update! I've now been going to Mod Physique on a regular basis, as in four times a week,…read morefor several months now. Jessa has added both a stretching class as well as a 'Mod 45' class which has less cardio for people who may not be quite ready for the challenges of her regular hour-long Mod Physique class. As Jessa's been teaching more and there are more regular students, she's expanding into even more challenging sets that focus on inner and outer thigh work, glutes, hip flexors, and... burpees. :) My abs have never been this strong, and I can definitely tell that I don't jiggle much at all when I go running on my non-Mod Physique days. Jessa is supportive, insightful, really knows her stuff and is there to assist and correct so that everyone is using their best form during the workouts. Come give this amazing combination a try!! Easy location to park nearby; new facility, super-helpful and supportive staff. The workout is an intense hybrid of cardio, Pilates-style core work, weights, strength/lengthening and in a vaguely circuit-training style... all on cushy mats in bare feet so you have fabulous control. Jessa, you're amazing and I'm so, so glad you've opened up your studio here in Portland!! If you're looking for something to combine intense core work and cardio and barre, ~: this is it!! :~

After several underwhelming experiences with traditional (Western) doctors, I thought I'd try a…read moremore holistic approach and my insurance company referred me to Grain Integrative Health. Overall, my experience has been fairly positive, but there are definitely some improvements that can be made on the administrative side here to improve the clinic. I like my doctor and believe that she has my best interests in mind, and I enjoy my appointments with her. I really appreciate that they have an online portal for scheduling appointments and messaging, and that they offer evening hours for those of us who work a standard office schedule. However, I don't think I've been seen on time once since being a patient at this clinic for several months now. Granted, I've been tardy a few times as well, but the majority of the time I've been no more than 5 minutes late. On average, I then spend about 15-20 minutes waiting to be seen. My doctor can also be slow with returning messages and uploading the visit notes to the patient portal, which leads me to believe that the providers here have stretched themselves too thin with patients. I understand the desire to take on as many patients as possible (and to maximize profits, sure) but when your patient load impacts your current patients' experience at the clinic, perhaps it's time to reassess things? Extend the appointment length and schedule in time to work on patient notes and referrals. Our time is important too. I had an incident recently when I was scheduled for a blood draw at the clinic, and I was ill that day and unable to make it. I called the office twice, and left two voicemails as no one picked up either time. I asked for a call back and a referral to a diagnostic clinic for the draw instead. No one ever returned my message and I had to reach out to my doctor several days later, informing her that I hadn't been able to make it and I needed that referral. No idea what happened there, but checking voicemails and returning messages should be standard procedure at a medical office. Additionally, I do wish the doctors would be a little more cost-conscious when it comes to suggesting procedures and supplements. Naturopathic and holistic care isn't always covered by insurance, and not everyone can afford to pay out of pocket for supplemental care. My doctor once recommended I take a supplement for three days prior to a blood test that cost $50. $50 for a supplement I'd take for three days! I care about my health, but I don't have limitless resources to spend on healthcare. Overall, I do like my doctor and the clinic. With some improvements to make the entire experience more patient-centric, I really feel that it could be someplace amazing.
