I'm writing this review to help educate others to risk you may encounter with this practice. If I had read other reviews first, I would have saved myself a lot of grief. In my opinion, the cost is extremely high vs. value received from initial consultation. It is unfortunate that this provider did not understand my perspective and was focused solely on collecting cash. My word of advice to others- please do your research in advance and read reviews. When dealing with any DR, you need to have confidence + trust that they have your best interest at heart. This is very critical point and will likely save you time and money to select the best provider up front. My response to DR. Thank you for responding so quickly. I am not blackmailing and you should be ashamed of your words to a honest customer. As you can tell from my original post, I did not slander you in anyway- I kept my comments very professional, and instead of focusing on you- I wrote feedback to help others be more aware and prepared with conducting research and asking the right questions. This is a positive thing for both the individual consumer, and if it prevents others from making the mistake I did, this actually helps you as well to avoid unhappy customers. So no- I'm not expecting anything from you. And honestly, I've learned my lesson- which is far more valuable than the $189 I had to pay to you! Thank you for the epic response. Best of luck to you as well.

Overall my experience was not a good one. I didn't feel comfortable throughout the appointment, at times I felt disrespected by the way she would speak to me and quiz me at times to test if i was absorbing the information. Which I guess could be one way to go about this but I didn't sit well with me. We covered very few topics and when I asked questions about other things she insisted we speak about them at a future appointment which made me feel money was on her mind. I also felt her dietary suggestions and comments were a little bit too unrealistic. I left feeling worried, discouraged and belittled.

She is extremely down-to-earth and accepting of where you are. She has helped me find the brokenness in diet culture and the false narratives that many of us tell ourselves.

She asks questions about my preferences and likelihood of preparing foods so that it's a co-created plan. Her witty and spunky personality is so comforting, not to mention how sensitive she is to my "relationship with my body".

Read Gary…read moreTaubes' "Why We Get Fat" to understand why. f you are looking at competing ketogenic diet plans, consider the Ideal Protein (IP) plan offered from Bellevue Ideal Weight Loss Clinic. The IP plan has a much broader variety of products than I saw in some other 'shakes-n-bars only" plans. Having that variety can make a world of difference for a successful outcome. They have a wonderful video-based education plan that you get looped into. You learn about the biochem behind the plan from an M.D., and you get cooking and exercise tips. If you are looking at Yelp reviews of competing plans, here are a few comparison points. This plan doesn't force you to spend time in-office listening to "hypnosis tapes" as some competing plans apparently do. The start-up cost and the weekly cost of IP is lower than some other competing plans apparently are. The staff at this Bellevue office was super helpful and always cheerful. In short, IP made a big difference in my life, and I was grateful for the coaching from the Bellevue office staff. All my health indicators (blood pressure, glucose levels, cholesterol levels, & BMI) are now in the green. It can work for you, too.

I've learned to empower myself and approach lifestyle changes with my nutrition and fitness while balancing motivation and effort. So often in the past I struggled to stay consistent because I would get easily overwhelmed. Stella has a warm and wonderful approach to meeting me where I am and helping me do the next indicated step so that I don't get overwhelmed. I cook healthy meals regularly for myself now and almost prefer that to eating out. I also am diving back into endurance races and taking on other things I would have felt were too far out of reach before. I deeply appreciate Stella's 1-on-1 style that feels very personal to me. I believe she truly cares and is cheering me on as I cross those finish lines and onto the next. I'd recommend Stella to anyone who's looking to ACTUALLY transform their lives and use simple nuts-and-bolts/doable steps to get there.

I have never been older and never been in better health. The program is SO good. They analyze every detail and give you education, counseling, training, and support from every angle. My trainer was Melina and she is the best trainer I EVER had. My dietician was Shelly who is equally amazing. Sammie, the scheduler is on top of every detail. I used Chris for the counseling and he was great. Dr. Dedomenico is the man who started this amazing program. I was shocked to learn that he still oversees EVERY patient. When getting my mid-term measurements the commented on how he was impressed with my progress. My first thought was "he know about me?" Then they told me that they have weekly round table discussions about EVERY client and how to help them. Amazing level of detail and personal treatment. The Pro Club staff were also incredible. They are so in tune with their clients, fun, happy, and take the time to learn your name and who you are. The facility is second to none. Cleaned all the time, with attention to the smallest of details. I was so impressed with the club I became a full time member. Do NOT hesitate to do this. You health is the most precious commodity you have and the is the way to stay healthy and out of meds and hospitals. You will not regret it.

I was definitely in an eating rut and felt unhappy about my lifestyle and health when I contacted her. I had been following her Simply Real Health blog and finding inspiration in her philosophy. I have always looked for the quick fix and she was offering the real deal. In my appointments with Sarah, she has coached me about the lifestyle changes I want to make, how to view food less emotionally and given me the tools I need to make changes. I thought I was eating fairly healthy by following recipes in health magazine and looking "low-fat" labels. Sarah taught me about whole foods, how I should structure my diet and debunked so many assumptions I had been making about whats "healthy." After working together for the last 5 months, I have completely overhauled my way of looking at food and set a new lifestyle that works for me. Sarah is absolutely a delight to work with as well as professional, reliable, creative and effective. She is extremely flexible and has tailored her support based on my lifestyle and preferences. For example, we decided that I needed more structure around my eating habits and accountability. So Sarah set up a Google doc for me to track my food intake, water, exercise, etc. and reviewed it with me daily. While I have moved on from that (I now track it myself), it is prime example of how Sarah finds creative ways to meet your needs. Also, her recipes are incredible. Check out her blog to try some and see what you think. I highly recommend working with Sarah for any type of lifestyle, health or weight loss goal. If you are committed to making a real change in your life, or just need some support around health, Simply Real Health is the way to go.
