Maury G – Weight Loss Success

Maury came to us in the spring of 2008, feeling very tired and worried about his health. He was significantly overweight. A sales manager who frequently travels for business, Maury’s blood pressure was high and he was talking medication to control his cholesterol. He had a family history of heart trouble, including a brother who had a heart attack at the age of 38. Maury assumed that losing weight was going to be futile due to the nature of his business and his busy lifestyle involving frequent business lunches and entertaining. Ten months later, Maury turned the table on his family history with a 50 pound weight loss! By following a program designed for his particular lifestyle, Maury not only lost the weight, he has kept it off and become an inspiration for his sales team.

Here is what Maury had to say about his experience at The Altschuler Center:

‘For years I have gone up and down 40 to 50 pounds but have never been able to keep the weight off. Last year at my annual physical I asked my doctor if she could refer me to a doctor that might be able to help me lose the weight and keep it off. She referred me to Dr. Gail Altschuler. It took me three months to call, but I finally went in for an initial consultation.

When I met Dr. Altschuler, I found an immediate connection with someone who understood my challenges and who seemed genuinely interested in my life problems related to my weight. I made the decision to go on Dr. Gail’s program and I’m glad I did. I have lost 50 pounds, 10 inches in my waist and feel better than I have in years. As a manager of 8 people with an extremely busy schedule traveling all over the country, Dr. Altschuler has helped me manage all types of social eating scenarios. Now, I feel I can manage through all kinds of tough eating situations myself and I believe I can do it for the rest of my life.

Thank you Gail for showing me the way and I look forward to years of healthy living. By the way, as the nine months on the program progressed, I have felt better and better about my physical self and now I am running 20 miles a week and will be running in my first 10K in years, next month.’
