"I am not completely sure how to put into words how thankful I am for the Wellness Team at Huron Gastro, and for Optifast. When I came to them, I was a 23-year-old that was struggling both mentally and physically. As I found out the news that I would be going to dental school in the fall, I finally decided that I was going to turn my health around. From day one, I felt embraced, encouraged, and unjudged by every member of the team. There were some days where I wondered if I was strong enough to actually make this change. The Wellness Team helped me to take these days in stride, and make this about a lifestyle, and not just about getting through the three months of Optifast. Fast forward to now, I have lost 50 pounds, and I follow a plant-based diet (with treats in moderation, of course!). Believe me that with the right support, you are strong enough to do anything that you set your mind to, and you deserve to feel what it means to have a healthy and strong body."
