"Working with Dr. Michelle Pearlman has benefited my weight loss journey more than I could have imagined. When I first met with Dr. Pearlman, I had little positive motivation, I just knew I needed to lose weight to address chronic health issues. Fortunately I was a candidate for Wegovy and the combination of Dr. Pearlman's coaching and support along with the change in my body from the medication has enabled me to lose more than 50 pounds in less than 100 days, and more importantly to my long-term health - nearly 10 inches off my waistline. My food obsession and preoccupation has been eliminated and I feel empowered to manage my health now that I better understand what my body requires. This is a journey, not a sprint. Thanks to the coaching I have received so far I am more optimistic than I ever have been that I will be able to successfully manage my weight going forward. I would recommend Dr. Pearlman to anyone that is trying to lose weight, you will not find a kinder or more committed physician.”

"I don’t use this term lightly; in fact, I have never used this term before. But taking Wegovy has been a life-altering event not because of the weight loss but because it has spurred my return to health.Since I have been on medication, and it has been four months, I have lost 22 pounds. The weight loss, however, does not tell the complete story. I have been on blood pressure medication for over 15 years and for the first time ever, my primary care physician is considering taking me off some of the blood pressure medications because of my lower blood pressure since I have been on Wegovy. My AIC went from the highest level within the normal range – pre-diabetes – to the lowest level in the normal range. I have lost over 2 inches in waist circumference. My liver enzymes, which were elevated, are now within normal limits. I also have obstructive sleep apnea and with a CPAP machine, I would average 5 hours of sleep a night. Since I have been on Wegovy, I now sleep an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. In general, I feel more rested during the day and I no longer have food cravings. I still have another 20 pounds or so to get to my target weight and I will continue to take Webovy until I get there."

Meet JanPaul
"When I first came to see Dr. Michelle Pearlman, I was recommended by a nurse who was a former patient. My initial goal was modest; I simply wanted to lose a little weight. Dr. Pearlman set some initial goals for me, and honestly, I was skeptical about my chances of success. However, as I diligently followed the program and adhered to the advice given, I began to see results. Gradually, the pounds started to drop, and the more weight I lost, the better I felt. This progress in turn motivated me to engage in more exercise. Several months into my weight loss journey, I began hormone treatment and optimization, which propelled my progress to an entirely new level. This approach not only helped me continue losing weight but also significantly boosted my muscle mass and strength. The benefits extended beyond physical aspects; I began sleeping better, feeling more energized, and enjoying a clarity of mind that I hadn't experienced in years. Reflecting on the past six months, I can confidently say this journey has been transformative. The foggy brain that once plagued me has completely disappeared, and I now enjoy a clear and focused mind. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to both doctors involved in my care. Your combined expertise and tailored approach have truly changed my life, and for that, I am incredibly grateful."

"I was about 203lbs at the time and that was something that eventually came down as well as a byproduct of seeing both doctors - Pearlman. Thank you. The hormonal levels I had, a decrease in energy, brain fog, my eyes would close on long drives, and I had this kind of general malaise about life in general, just my outlook. And I realized that my T-levels were low. I came to see Dr. Amy Pearlman and you helped me optimize those. So you were able to kind of do a thorough review of my physiology and my blood work. You helped tell me the alternatives and the options that were out there. And there are some choices that I had to make. You helped me start kind of low and realize that I didn't have to kind of go for the high end things yet. And I turn out to be the right choice to follow your lead, to review those options, to kind of dip my toe in and then see the amazing changes that start to occur. One with my energy levels, two with my outlook, my ability to not fall alsleep during a car ride for example. And as a byproduct of that, and seeing Dr. Michelle, the weight started coming down as well. And I didn't realize how big of a benefit that would be until we started to focus on that part of the training."
