I am 31 years old and this is my story.  Dr. Barry Schiff is my primary physician and cardiologist. After one of my visits, he informed me that my cholesterol was a mess (275, Trig: 846, HDL: 43), my blood pressure was still high (even on medication it was averaging  140-90s).  Dr. Schiff told me that I was living a reckless life, and asked me, with a wife and a baby daughter, do I really want to continue living this way?  He then said, "I can put you on more medication, or you can change your life," and of course I said NO to medication and YES to a Lifestyle Change.
 
So that next week I went to see Dr Schiff at University Wellness & Weight Loss Center. Starting the process I weighed in at 251 and was wearing size 42 slacks.  The first week on the program I lost 17 lbs. At that point, I said "WOW, I can do this".  At Week 10, I was down over 50 lbs, and was feeling great. My Blood Pressure was averaging 112/68 weekly, and my blood test showed my Cholesterol PERFECT (176, Trig: 53, HDL: 94.4).  At this point Dr. Schiff pulled me off my blood pressure pills!!! As of today, 3 months in (13 weeks), I am about to hit 60 lbs. off, I am wearing size 34 pants, 42 suit, and I am off all medication! My weight is about to be in the 180's, which I haven't seen in over 12 years.
 
Every time I talk to Dr. Schiff I thank him, because he made this lifestyle change an easy one; he made it possible! With your want, and the right guidance (Dr. Schiff & the Wellness staff) you will definitely achieve healthy living. Weekly I am surrounded by others in the same shoes at the Wellness office.  Dr. Schiff & the Wellness Program aren't just helping people lose weight, they are educating us on healthy living, assisting us in our lifestyle changes, and most importantly, extending our lives! I could never put a dollar amount on Health and Life ... this experience has been worth every penny, and once you start its really easy!
