Patient Highlight: Wendy Woolridge

After trying about every diet fad and not being about to lose the weight she wanted, Wendy made the decision to give Iowa Weight Loss Specialists Medical Weight Loss program a try. One year later and Wendy has made incredible progress and finally found a program that works. Check out what she has to say about her journey so far.

What changes have you seen since losing weight with Iowa Weight Loss Specialists (changes in medical conditions, etc.)?

Since starting the program with IWLS I am no longer considered pre-diabetic. My cholesterol and triglycerides are in the excellent range. My depression has decreased, my sleep pattern has improved greatly and I have a lot more energy!

What made you decide to try medical weight loss at IWLS?

I had tried almost everything else you can think of to lose weight.  All of the quick fixes, pre-packaged meal plans, fads…you name it! I really considered this my last hope – and it’s working!

What would you tell someone who was considering medical weight loss?

Don’t mess around wasting time on all of the fad diets. Lose weight the right way – make it a life change, not a diet! Seek a medical weight loss team who can help you every step of the way mentally and physically. Choose IWLS, they want to help you succeed!
