The process is simple--fill out their on-line form and you'll soon receive an email. They'll check your insurance (mine covers everything but the initial $65 fee), read your form, and match you with a nutritionist who will help you with your goals. They have offices in Raleigh and Cary, and they do national online consulting and business consulting as well. I had my first appointment with Kaitie in Cary three weeks after my first contact with the friendly, efficient office staff. This is the best health decision I've ever made! There's so much information out there, and Kaitie has put it together in a way that makes sense to me and is easy to follow. Everything she does is based in science. She created a meal plan that I understand, and she took the time to explain everything to me. She even helped me bust some myths. Hint--white potatoes are okay after all! I hadn't had one in over a year. I am definitely a fan of Anne Till Consulting and Kaitie. Why didn't I start sooner?

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Simonds and his entire team. I've been a…read morepatient for nearly five years now, and there's a reason I continue to fly back to North Carolina just to remain an active patient of record -- they're that exceptional. Dr. Simonds is the kind of provider everyone hopes to find: incredibly knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely funny, yet also deeply caring and attentive to his patients. His approach is never rushed or impersonal -- you can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about the people he helps. And Hannah, his PA, is an absolute gem. She is supportive, warm, and encouraging in every interaction. I genuinely look forward to our monthly phone appointments, and our in-person visits are always a highlight of my trip. She makes you feel heard, supported, and like you're in the best hands possible. The entire office has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It's rare to find a medical practice that consistently delivers such a positive and caring experience. I appreciate them more than they know -- and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a team that truly treats you like a person, not just a patient.

I've been going to Dr Simonds in Raleigh for a couple of years. I'd previously visited a few other…read moreweight loss centers, and as anyone who's had difficulties, it's not a simple solution to lose weight and you have to be open to a number of options. It's not a matter of "will power" as your body and brain develop a set point and won't let go. I had tried several more traditional options before seeking out Dr Simonds. He knew from my history that I'd probably have to move to drugs. First phentermine/phendramazine then compounded semaglutide. Your body can grow accustomed to the pills but I've lost 30 lbs so far on the senaglutide and kept it off for a year. I'd still like to lose 10 more pounds and then I'll most likely go on maintenance. I've seen a number of their practitioners and they're all good, but NP Michelle Stone is the best. She's a font of health-related knowledge, listens well, and is easy to communicate with. And she's willing to discuss your care with your other practitioners. Based on a previous review, if you don't want to consider the possibility of drug treatment, then Dr.Simonds may not be for you. But if you haven't had success and are open-minded, this clinic may give you the support you need.

I just completed my 6 month health coaching with Ramona, Self-Perception owner. It was a pleasure…read moremeeting with Ramona twice a month. She was encouraging and uplifting. She is educated in the health field. She offered recipes, websites, and other health related topics. With her coaching, I learned a lot about food and food choices. I learned to be accountable for my choices. You have to put the work in. Ramona guides you with questions and topics to help you along the way. Again you have to put the work in. Ramona also give your 2 week summary of your sessions. If you're looking for a health coach, I recommend Ramona. I lost 13 pounds. When I started the focus was on losing weight but after the during the sessions my focas changed to better food choices and now I'm cooking more and trying new recipes which is better for me. I'm gradually going to plant-based foods and recipes. I also lost a dress size. I'll continue with my health journey. Thank you Ramona.. Lisa Short

We examined every aspect of my life; spirituality, career, education, finances, joy, social life, relationships, home environment, home cooking, physical activity, health, and creativity. I learned that as tough as it might be, it's important to be healthy in every area. She worked with me to identify troubled areas and made adjustments to maximize my health. I believe increasing mindfulness was the most helpful improvement I made. I achieved this decluttering my home environment, increasing my me time with relaxation and meditation, increasing exercise and paying closer attention to what I eat. I have not implemented all of the tools that she introduced, but the ones I have implemented have made a big difference. And what's really good is that I can go back and review the take aways from each session when I'm ready to and add more tools to my wellness arsenal as I see fit. It was a great experience. I wish I could afford to continue, because working on "me" is a full-time job. I closer to where I want to be, but still have work to do to get there. -J.C. North Carolina

I have never eaten so healthfully in my 65 years. 2 of us have lost 40 pounds and the 3rd sister lost over 30 pounds. We are all maintaining even if we are not as strict on the diet as we have been. I realized that this was a great diet when I got a bruise on my arm and it healed and disappeared within 3 days. I have always taken weeks for bruises to heal. This is very healthy eating. They have so much information on how to get the most out of this weight loss and how to add in healthy foods when you reach goal. This diet and the patches help to reset your metabolism and it sure has been working for me. This is the best I have felt in years.
