They are helping me not only lose weight but also to understand why I couldnt lose weight the way I was eating before on diets

Great people who really care about helping you meet your fitness goals and doing it safely.

Working with the dietician here made me want to just succumb to being overweight until I die. I met with her once and found that she had a wealth of information about the body that I had never heard before. But by my 2nd FULL visit she scolded me for not making many changes since our initial visit. Between visit 1 and 2 I had Covid and didn’t know it. Once testing positive I had another 2 weeks of illness. Altogether there was about a month between visits where most of it I was ill.I was sent to CoreLife bc my doctor said they specialized in working with ppl with highly stressful and time consuming lives. I work full time in a position that requires easily 12 hour days. And I also buy abd flip houses. I’m always on the go. I recently enrolled in night classes to continue to support my career. I recognize the challenge I may be to transition into better eating habits but I never expected a dietitian to keep throwing her hands in the air as if I was a loss cause and to scold me bc I was struggling with making immediate changes after 5 years of my current lifework balance. My husband recently quit his job to support our endeavors full time and he’s slowly learning how to help my weight loss goals. He specifically quit bc I have too much on my plate. All of this was in the last 3045 days. It’s a huge learning curve for us. To be scolded bc we hadn’t gotten everything done in 30 days was humiliating and unprofessional. The exaggerated sighs when I tried to explain was not helpful. My husband promptly told me I wouldn’t be returning once I left the office. Advice to her is be more encouraging. Actually provide methods and meal plans. Be prepared for our visits why promise meal ideas that don’t happen? I was supposed to get some home cooking ideas as noted from my first visit. On this visit I was told look some things up myself. She made me feel defeated in just two encounters.The rest of the staff is very nice. The nurse practitioner noticed I had Covid symptoms and encouraged me to go right away for testing. I’m so grateful to her. But I won’t be returning here. I need support and guidance. Not to be torn down.

I have not had the full experience and I dont like that you got to keep coming back before you get some kind of weight plan to follow...Why not go over everything to get the ball rolling

Samantha was attentive to my input and concerns and seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my weight loss and health goals. She is also flexible about the time I can meet and understands the delicate balance of life work and health. Thank you.
