thanks Jason well losing weight can be a
challenge and even more difficult when
you've hit a weight loss plateau that's
when it you know one no it seems no
matter how hard you try to diet you just
can't shed those last few pounds so our
friend dr. Christopher Quinn with dr.
Quinn weight loss and cratis medical
vitality Institute has a way to help
also with us is one of his patients
Kimberly Minton thank you for being here
okay so here is a picture of Kimberly
before she saw dr. Quinn's help when you
weighed over a hundred and ninety pounds
and that's you on the right right there
now you're kind of hiding behind someone
and we'll hear about your experience in
just a moment but dr. Quinn I want to
start with you how can you help someone
who's hid a diet Plateau sure there's
lots of things that we do during the
plateau and one of the reason that I
started create as medical was so we can
check in to your hormones I find that a
lot of times people have a hormone
imbalance such as thyroid or
testosterone and that can be causing
them to hit that plateau so if we can
get your hormones regulated then it
makes it easier to be able to continue
to progress forward with your weight
loss journey okay so get to the source
and what about vitamins and supplements
yeah absolutely we use vitamins and
supplements because with our program
obviously we're restricting your
calories so you may not be getting
everything that you need in the foods
that you're consuming so then we're able
to supplement with our different
pharmaceutical grade supplements to make
sure that you're staying healthy as
you're losing weight okay speaking of
food here's a big question and concerned
that a lot of people have can you eat
normally like normal food you have to at
the end of the day it's really all about
a lifestyle change if you don't modify
your lifestyle then it's not going to be
something you're gonna be able to
maintain for the long term so really the
way that I developed the program is so
that you can eat normal foods with the
rest of your family so that you can lose
weight in a healthy way and be able to
maintain it as it you know comes off in
the future alright because you can't eat
box food for the rest of your absolutely
not right so Kimberly you broke through
that diet letter with dr. Quinn's help
now we have some photos of you marking
some milestones now we're gonna look
through oh wow you look amazing there
where's this yeah this is my son's
wedding and I really wanted to take off
some weight for the wedding I'd been
trying everything I had been to other
weight loss programs I tried on my own
and I just was really stuck at that 190
weight and I losted with dr. Quinn's
help and his staffs wonderful help I
lost 20 pounds for my son's wedding and
and here you are did you just run a race
here your day yes my life has changed a
lot since I started with dr. Quinn I am
a coach I have coached girls on the run
through my school and we run every fall
in spring we go 5k on Belle Isle okay
well I mean you look great and obviously
this has changed your life you're
coaching now you're more active so it's
changed your life in many ways was it a
difficult process in the beginning for
me it was a difficult process I didn't
really know how to eat healthy I thought
it was eating healthy but the staff at
dr. Quinn's office helped me with
supplements they helped me understand
how food works and eating healthy and
actually eating food oftentimes I'd try
to starve myself you know and I'm just
teaching me about the right kinds of
foods to eat and then when I did hit a
plateau we tested my hormones and found
out that my thyroid was low and so since
then I've started that medication and
have continued to keep off my weight and
I felt wonderful like to see one of your
patients being so successful it's
fantastic you know that I was looking
back through a chart and you know she
lost 30 pounds in three months initially
and then she's been able to maintain the
weight loss for almost four years now I
think that's the question that a lot of
people have is am I going to be able to
keep it off and it's like I said it's
really about a lifestyle like Kimberly
said and she's been able to maintain the
weight loss that whole time which is
just fantastic
