This is for the In person sleep study I did last week…read more I recieved a phone call asking if I'd like to come in at 9:45 instead of 9 am. I said that would be okay. I get there at 9:30 and fill out my paperwork. They sent paperwork to my email but I had already filled the same paperwork out when I came in office so I didn't think I had to do it again. I did. It did not take long. My technician was a man named Jerimaih. I think that was his name or Johnathan. I'm sorry I'm so bad with names! He was very nice. Coming into the building was creepy lol You put a code in and go upstairs or take the elevator. Walk all the way down the hallways to the left. When I was done filling out paperwork another lady came in saying her appointment was at 9:45 and Jerimaih let her know I was his 9:45. He told her that her appointment was at 9 and she proceeded to go back and forth saying she has a voicemail saying they changed her time. Never played it but kept saying she had it. Then said she didn't know if she deleted it. I told him someone had called and left me a voicemail asking me to call them back. My appointment was originally at 9 pm and they asked me if I would change the time to a later time. Before we went into the room he asked if I needed to use the bathroom. Then explained how he was going to hook up the wires to my chest, neck, head, face, bottom of my legs. I thought he said feet but nothing was placed on my feet. It sucked bad having all of that attached to me. He was polite. They add straps around your chest and stomach. There's a camera in the room. Nothings on the room except a chair, table, bed, camera watching you and the bed. I had a hard time sleeping. I toss and turn a lot and it was hard with the wires added to me. I kept waking up, woke up coughing. They wake up up at 5:15 I think.but I already woke up at 4:50 and sat up. Jerimaih came into the room asking me if I was okay. Which I stated I was. I get pains in my legs and arms at night and just explained that and I wake up constantly throughout the night. He said he would stop the study and come back to unhook me. Once unhooked they have you sign a paper stating you are awake and alert to drive him. He also explained the dr will look over the test and they will call me back in for the Cpap machine if they decided I need it. I actually do. I was told by the dr in the concord location many years ago that I did have sleep apnea but I never came back for the sleep test. I did the two day home study which they did not get anything from because the thing flew off my finger. That's why they had to do the in person study. Jerimaih had to tape the thing that goes over your finger to my hand because I told him the last one ended up on the floor! When you go to the study it's going to be uncomfortable having all of those things attached to you. The next day you will feel sticky on your head, neck, face from the stuff they stick to you. I felt like I was scrubbing forever to get it off. I would definitely recommend them. I see all the bad reviews and I'm sorry those people had bad experiences but mine is always pleasant when I come here. Hopefully I get my machine because my neurologist said it would help out a lot. Not sure how much data they collected. I feel like I had a hard time sleeping from tossing and turning and waking up coughing.

After wanting a second non-Kaiser opinion on my thyroid and having issues setting up an appointment online, I called and scheduled a video consult. The pre-paperwork was a bit lengthy and during our appointment we went over my story. While I was able to confirm with her that my current medication was the best course of action, I didn't love that I later met with a Kaiser doctor who provided me with documentation that hypothyroid patients can have nasal nerves that go, for lack of a better word, haywire (falls under the term non-allergic rhinitis) and that lowering my dose as she suggested might actually cause the nerve to flare up. Overall I felt like One Medical had a better intake that was more thorough and helpful, and John Muir Allergy was overall more knowledgeable. At the end of the day, the out of pocket cost for the appointment was around $240, and I essentially got what I was looking for which was a discussion about my medication but I don't plan to move forward with Jiva Health.

Hello World, The…read moreintent of this review is to summarize my journey with LeanMD. I started my journey April 28th, 2019 weighing in at about 355 Lbs and as of January 1st, 2020 I was down to 280 and still counting down. Down -75Lbs in 8 months. Before entrusting this program, I was lost and scared that I was going to die quite literally.. I was literally killing myself with food due to down spiraling mindset. The worst part was knowing I am killing myself and still being powerless over my own decisions and actions. I was so sad, depressed, angry, resentful, and not in a good place. It is very rare to find genuine people whose sole purpose is to empower others with no expectation of us returning the favor. I was very reluctant to take the advice that was given due to many times trying and failing before. So I thought, "How is this going to be any different?" I was in denial about everything in my life, partly because I felt I had done everything in my power to lose weight on my own and to show any progress toward a healthier way of living. I realized I was powerless over my own decisions and I had no control over my destructive patterns of food choices and I came to realize how I was completely addicted to all the wrong things. Merli, Jonnesha, and Sarina have to be some of the most compassionate empathetic and kind people I have ever met. It never mattered if I had a good week or bad week or an okay week they were there by my side every step of the way. They helped me open my eyes to see my worth and to recognize just how valuable I am, as me. There came a point in my life where I contemplated a lot of things but I never knew life would have been one of them. I developed a sick mentality over time and I remember thinking at one point, "If I was going to die I was going to go out eating everything that made me feel good about myself in my life. If I've learned anything from this program, I've learned that micro steps equals macro wins. If I just take things minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, or decade by decade, that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I know it sounds cliche, but by having the accountability, empathy, and to truly feel the genuine passion of my LeanMD team of wanting to make me better, some times more than I wanted to make me better, it instilled a strong belief in myself to succeed. Jonnesha taught me that emotions are like the weather they change every day and that every new day is a new start. I have the ability to live my life by Design instead of letting it pass me by; if I just focus on taking small steps towards a sustainable lifestyle. For me, it was never about calories in or calories out, or eat this eat that. They gave me structure, confidence, and validation that I was right to feel how I was feeling in that moment. They validated everything that I needed in order to accept my situational circumstances of being so far away from where I want to be which allowed me to see the path to where I want to go. The first few months were brutal and I contemplated if I was going to do be able to do this at all, but with the help of Merli, Jonnesha, Sarina, and Dr. Sayles, I was able to overcome my emotional barriers that kept me from progressing. After I was able to get my mind back on track after a few months, I gained so much confidence in the program and in myself! I knew the LeanMD Team just wanted the best for me because they have shown such genuine empathy towards me as a person and my goals. I will forever be grateful to this LeanMD team for helping me get my life back and give me a second chance to live the life I always thought I would live. They have taught me that it's never too late to be what I could have been and they have helped me connect with my life-long dream of becoming a motivational speaker and to continue my goals of opening a nonprofit for other dreamers to fulfill their dreams and to reach ultimate peace. I am beyond blessed for the help LeanMD has provided me. When I say I tried everything, I truly feel that I tried everything. I was even contemplating gastric bypass surgery. I probably did every fad diet you can think of, every type of workout, read books, but at the end of the day sometimes we know exactly what we really need to do but there's a mental block the forces us to avoid all difficult things. This journey has allowed me to understand who I am and why I am the way I am, not to mention, where I truly developed these bad habits and why. The quote "Everyone dies, but very few live." has never been so clear to me. The ladies, (Merli, Jonnesha, Sarina) have helped me understand the strong foundation from which I come from. A strong foundation helped me develop such a bigger vision for where I want to go, which ultimately allows me to be 1000% focus in the present which is going to help me progress that much more in my personal and physical development.

I found that those other programs worked very little in helping me lose weight and keeping it off. They just didn't help as much as I hoped they would. I felt like something was missing. Then I tried the program from the O'Connor Health Center and found that was the only one that was: -Easy to follow - Super Fast (I think it's faster than anything else in the weight loss industry) - Made me feel healthy/energetic - Eliminated hunger and cravings I lost almost 40 lbs and have kept it off since August 2015.

However, the gentleman was sincere about his wive's results. I did the program and I lost about 40 lbs total. I have kept the weight off since the summer of 2016. It was an easy program to follow and after I lost the amount I wanted to lose I found it was very easy to keep the weight off. I would highly recommend the program. Every once in a while stop on to say hi. The staff is very professional and friendly.

I know what "dialed in" looks like. I have records from when I was in my physical prime at 27. I never stopped training. I also work in the medical field now--specifically in operating rooms with Medtronic, around treatments for conditions like obesity and cancer--so I've seen both the fitness side and the traditional medical side up close. Today at 45, my numbers are better than ever. This is the change since August: Body fat: 22.6% 14.0% Fat loss: ~17 lbs down Lean mass: +25 lbs muscle gained Same body weight (~218 lbs) This wasn't a crash diet. This was a complete metabolic reset. What separates Dr. Gabe from everyone else: Full hormone optimization (not just surface-level) Looks at DHEA, pregnenolone, iodine, insulin resistance Comprehensive labs + consistent follow-up Actually treats root cause, not symptoms He also pointed me toward Why We Get Sick (Ben Bikman), which changed how I approach nutrition and insulin.

Each time I had blood work done it often took weeks to receive a follow up discussion about the results, which made the monitoring process feel ineffective. For a program that requires an expensive annual subscription, the level of follow up and support was disappointing. I also felt that some of my concerns were not fully addressed when I raised them. The only improvement I personally noticed was slightly less fatigue in the mornings, which unfortunately did not justify the overall cost for me. I paid for a one year subscription but chose to stop participating after about seven months because the experience was not meeting my expectations. Based on my experience, I did not choose to continue care with this clinic.
