It took me a while to sit down and write about the amazing professionals at Medical Weight Loss of New York, because I wasn’t sure where to begin. I wanted to find the words to encourage others to visit the office and experience the life change that follows.
At one of my lowest points, I weighed around 350 lbs. While CrossFit helped me lose 100 pounds, I later regained it due to my stressful job as a nurse, poor sleep, and unhealthy eating habits.
Eventually, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a flight nurse. However, my weight became a barrier from achieving my dream: helicopters have weight limits, and many flight companies have strict weight requirements. To get the job, I managed to lose about 40 pounds. But then COVID-19 happened, [and along with it shutdowns and restrictions,] which prevented me from using the gym as a weight-loss tool.
I was determined to lose weight to keep my job, and that’s when I turned to Medical Weight Loss of NY. After initial assessments, I met with Heidi and Martha, who were incredibly motivating and supportive… Watching my weight, BMI, and body fat percentage drop each week was thrilling. I’ve lost over 60 pounds, and I’m not looking back.
Dr. Scinta and the entire team truly embody patient-focused care, and you’ll feel it in every interaction… Don’t let preconceptions about weight loss or your own health hold you back—take that first step!
