Testimonials
“Dr. Taw changed my life. My diet and taste for foods have been transformed; my back problems have subsided; and I have a completely new relationship with my body. It took a lot of work, especially at the beginning, but Dr. Taw guided me throughout my journey. Her encouragement and explanation of the science of weight loss kept me going, pound by pound. When I began with her, I was in my early 50s and weighed 206 pounds. Sure, I was carrying a few extra pounds, but I accepted that as part of aging. A year later, I am 30 pounds lighter. I haven’t felt this healthy and light since college.”
“The weekly follow ups with Dr. Taw were so helpful, along with the flexible meal plan she prescribed. Together, we set manageable and realistic goals. I tracked my food, increased my exercise, and worked on developing new habits. For the first time EVER, losing weight wasn’t torture and I finally lost the thirty pounds!!!!!! I am confident that I will never go back. I could not have done this without Dr. Taw’s help and encouragement. She is simply amazing.”
“I started working with Dr. Taw during a very stressful time. I let my exercise and eating habits decline and gained over 10lbs!! Immediately Dr. Taw helped me organize and plan healthy meals for the week ahead. We also set specific goals each week, while I tracked my food and exercise. Our regular check-ins were so helpful, just having someone to talk through my personal challenges and the real-time advice to adapt the program to my personal needs were so motivating. One year later, I have kept the weight off and still follow Dr. Taw’s guidance in my day to day. I have tried everything out there; this is a lifestyle change that really works!!”
“I strongly recommend Dr. Taw’s weight management program. I signed-on after losing my job and wanted to regain my self-confidence. Under Dr. Taw’s guidance, I lost 44 pounds. Dr. Taw was encouraging and motivating. She helped me pay attention to what, when, and how much I ate, as well as my exercise/physical activity levels and hours of sleep, etc. The results were dramatic…after a year, I have managed to keep the weight off. “
