Blissful Wellness

When I first walked into Blissful Wellness Medical Weight Loss Center, my health was on a decline… I was having pain in both of my feet and I was always sleepy... My boss told me about them and I said "What the heck – I've tried everything under the sun!" At first, the weight loss was slow but then something happened - I lost 10 lbs in one week! Before I knew it, I had lost 50 lbs. That's when things changed!

I started to ride my bike for 16 miles 4 days a week and doing pushups and sit ups. My energy was so high and I was high on life! Everyone wanted to know what I was doing and how I was doing it! When I was feeling down, the support I got from Blissful Wellness was just what I needed to go on. When I had lost 89 lbs, I began to feel like I did in high school. That's when I knew there was no turning back! My Dr. didn't even know what to say… He uses me as a model for weight loss and he tells me to keep it up! I feel so great now and I do not want to go back to the fat me again! Thanks always to God first… but Blissful Wellness saved my life! Now every day that I wake up I'm loving life!

Thank you Dr. B and everyone at Blissful Wellness for giving me my life back. Now I'm a new man and I like the new guy!

My name is Sandy Spurling and I am a married mother of 3 and I weighed 204 pounds and wore a size 16 pants. But all that changed in May when Dr. Blissenbach told me that I am diabetic and with my other health problems (kidney disease , high blood pressure , and hypothyroid) something had to change or I could have really bad complications with my kidneys.

So she told me she was going to put me on turbo trim and I was going to lose weight. So I started the last week of May and by the last week of July I lost 48 pounds 7 inches and was wearing a size 8. WOW right!!

And I am no longer taking any medicines at all and I was taking 4 medicines a day not including vitamins. The staffs at the Blissful wellness center are absolutely amazing supporters cheering you on pound after pound.

Dr. Nancy, Dr. Melissa and Dr. Blissenbach are so wonderful. They are a blessing!!

The diet was so easy I didn't know I was losing weight. They taught me the healthy way to eat and portion control. I love this diet so much and everyone should try it. I never thought I would lose so easily. I tried every diet and exercise all the time but nothing worked. I t just melted off like butter. It has been now a month and a half since I came off the diet, but I am still losing weight. I now weigh 144 and am wearing a size 6 from a 16 … unbelievable. Thank you so much Dr. Blissenbach and your wonderful and supportive staff. I could not have done this with out you all.

My wife Katherine and I began the HCG diet with Dr. Blissenbach the end of May, 2011 and so far I have lost 80 lbs and Katherine has lost 41 lbs.

Dr. Blissenbach and her staff interviewed each of us at the beginning of our programs to determine which diet was best for us. Blood tests, measurements and the consultation left us with confidence that this plan is serious about weight loss. The weekly follow-up reviews, measurements and tests, have kept us on track and on target. Having the Dr. and staff monitor our progress and adjust as needed gives us the confidence we are being guided to successful, healthy weight loss and meeting our goals.

With our weight loss Katherine has been able to cease taking medication to control her diabetes and I have significantly improved the recovery process of a knee injury. We both feel better physically and are pleased with our appearance.

I travel for business and have figured out how to adjust my restaurant meals in order to stay with the HCG diet. We have both learned to follow the diet and instructions and change our eating habits so we can enjoy dining out.

For our current goals, I plan to lose an additional 20-30 lbs and Katherine plans to lose another 20 lbs. We would highly recommend this diet to any individual that is serious and committed to losing weight and willing to make the changes necessary to be and remain successful. Dr. Blissenbach and her staff are tops in our opinion.

I began the HCG diet with Dr. Blissenbach the end of May, 2011 and I have lost over 41 lbs so far. I have been able to cease taking medication to control my diabetes and I feel better physically and I'm pleased with my appearance.

My husband and I have both learned to follow the diet and instructions and change our eating habits so we can enjoy dining out. We would highly recommend this diet to any individual that is serious and committed to losing weight and willing to make the changes necessary to be and remain successful. Dr. Blissenbach and her staff are tops in our opinion.

I started the weight loss program in May 2011 for my health and myself. Since then I have lost approximately 54 pounds. I have been able to stop my medication for reflux disease, and I hope to be able to come off more medication soon.

Everyone tells me how good I look after losing the extra pounds. I feel great and have more energy. I feel good about being able to shop for smaller size clothes again!

This program changed my life. I've lost over 98 pounds safely and been able to keepit off!! As I got older, I had become more sedentary! Like most people, I exercised less and ate more. And because of a busy work schedule, fast foods were a convenient option. Once I started with Blissful Wellness I saw an almost immediate drop in weight. ….the continued weight loss over the next several months was astonishing! I now have more energy than I ever had. I bought an entirely new wardrobe.

Nothing fit anymore! Alterations weren't enough to keep up with my shrinking waist line. Now, I'm healthier than I have ever been. I exercise more. I just joined a running group. My borderline hypertension vanished. My triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, although not dangerously high before I started the program, plummeted!!! I have had people who hadn't seen me for six months not recognize me. Recently I've been asked by the courts to have my ID redone since JSO personnel cannot easily recognize me from my picture ID (the picture on my card is me before I started with Blissful.

All my life I've struggled with my weight. I've been on many diets and not one of those diets has been successful until now. Total weight loss: 85.4 lbs! This has been so easy to do - No cravings – it doesn't even feel like a diet! I sometimes have to force myself to eat. It's been the best, by far, weight loss experience ever! I have tried many diets, but this has been great. Thanks to everyone at Blissful Wellness, I have been able to be more active in life. It is easier to walk, ride a bike, and do other activities.

Thank you all so much for giving me back my life!

Hello, my name is Gustoria Meadows, an established patient of Dr. Elyssa Blissenbach. I had been overweight and struggling for a while. The medical history of my family consists of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and strokes. After seeing some of my younger siblings having strokes, blood clots, heart disease, and diabetes, I started to rethink my lifestyle.

I decided I wanted to be healthy and well. I joined "Blissful Wellness" one and a half years ago. I have lost a total of 74 pounds and I'm keeping the weight off through the maintenance program. I have been able to lower some of my meds and discontinue others. I've become healtheir and happer. My husband adores me.

If you love yourself, get healthy and try "Blissful Wellness" because it works! Try it today and feel good about yourself. You will be in the hands of a dynamic medical team who cares.

I began my weight loss program because of Dr. Blissenbach's encouragement mid-October of 2010. I had reservations about it but decided to give it a try. I was a little over 290 pounds, by my bathroom scales at that time. I elected a simple 100 carb, 1000 calorie plan. I go in for consults every two weeks. Even after the first visit I began losing weight. As I became more educated about what I needed to do and how to do it, it became easier. I find that I get plenty to eat of food I like. Mostly, I eat broiled, grilled, or roasted fish and chicken, but also some lean pork and steak. I also still get my fruits, veggies, and salads. It is even easy to eat at restaurants, such as Ruby Tuesdays (I live near one, so it's easy to get to), that offer the proper types of food. The most challenging thing was juggling the carbs, calories, and protein to stay in ketosis without losing muscle mass. Early on, I acquired a hand-held device which displays and calculates nutritional info for generic foods, branded foods, and restaurant foods. This makes the juggling easier!

Now, close to mid-September 2011, my home scales show me in the 216-218 range and still losing. The food is great because I pick it, and selections become easier with practice. It just requires changing one's eating habits and embracing guidance and encouragement from the counselors. Don't tell Dr. B. that I said it, but it is even easy to cheat once in a while and quickly recover. I like this freedom to be in control.

Along with the weight loss, I have been able to significantly reduce several blood pressure medications (had to because my BP was getting too low!), I have more energy, look better (even with the baggy pants), and enjoy life more. The downside is that the clothes which were almost too small to get into are now too large and I may have to buy new stuff.

I like the diet plan that I am on. Dr. Blissenbach has several more aggressive plans for folks who want to lose faster or have special needs, but I can recommend my plan with no hesitation. The counselors and technicians are great to work with. I am sure any of the Blissful Wellness Weight Loss plans would work well, and the support is excellent.

I am so pleased with the success I have achieved with Blissful Wellness! I lost 38 pounds, canceled my double knee replacement surgery, reduced all my medications, dropped 4 dress sizes, and will never gain it back! It changed my life, I am a new person. It's been 2 years since I started the Blissful Wellness Turbo Trim diet. I weigh every day to keep myself honest. I'm so thankful for Dr. B, her dedicated staff and her insistence on accountability. I can walk without pain, and without a cane - What a blessing! Thank you Dr.B, God Bless You.

I sat in Dr. B's office in June of 2011 with bone density issues being discussed after a test concluded there was a problem that soon could become a REAL problem. Having already had a knee replacement and knowing other issues were on the horizon; her diet plan was once again mentioned. I sat there weighing well over 240 lbs on a body frame of 5 feet 3 inches listening to her bring up to me, one more time, Blissful Wellness. My heart told me it was time to do something about the weight. Her program sounded like it would work for me and I was ready to give it a try.

Now, 8 months later and 60 pounds lighter, I feel very good about my future and KNOW I will continue to lose until I reach my desired weight. The plan is amazingly easy and you feel like a real person living a normal life because you are eating real food. I have begun to exercise and am really enjoying doing my routine. I visit the doctor's office every two weeks and my health is checked very closely. All of my vital signs have gotten better since losing the weight. The staff is helpful if there are issues and solutions are recommended.

I feel better about myself and my life and my attitude has changed for the better. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO ANYONE THAT IS INTERESTED IN LIVING A BETTER AND LONGER LIFE AND FEELING BETTER AT THE SAME TIME.

My name is Kenneth Moore and I've been a patient of Dr. B's for approximately 8 years. During that time, I've experienced that she really cares about her patient's health and their progress. In recent years she discussed with me how important it is that I lose some weight.

Well, being the man that I am, I figured that I could lose the weight without her help. That did not work. To make a long story short, she would tell me about the status of my cholesterol and blood sugar, knee pain, and how I would feel so much better if I would lose some weight! She told me about HCG and I finally decided to take her advice.

I lost 50 lbs in 2 six-week sessions. All together I've lost 80 lbs! I continue to eat the same basic foods on the diet. I feel a lot better, sleep like a log, have more energy, my cholesterol level is better, my sugar level is down and I have NO MORE knee pain! I thank God for Dr. B – she has really been a blessing and answer to my prayers. She has a great staff also.

Thank you so much!

I have struggled with my weight for 4 years and have tried many diets and exercise. Nothing ever worked. Dealing with Menopause, and quitting smoking, I had a double challenge to deal with! I was 170 lbs. and only 5'2". That was considered obese on the charts. I was very depressed and self conscious. I listen to 96.1 radio every morning and have heard Dr. Elyssa Blissenbach explain her successful program. It was the week before Thanksgiving and the holidays were upon us. Though the holidays are a tough time of year to start a program, I set my mind to do it and started on 11/17/11.

I have just completed my 3 month Turbo Trim program and want to tell all that I have lost 33 pounds in 3 months and went from a size 12/14 to a size 6. IN ONLY 3 MONTHS!! I can't believe this program – it was like a miracle to me.

I FULLY RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO ALL WHO ARE HAVING A HARD TIME LOSING WEIGHT. I have motivated some co-workers who have also joined the program!

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Blissful Wellness staff who helped me reach my goal!
