Patient Success SPOTLIGHT “I am beginning to lose weight!” Pamela W. Pamela loves having a coach to guide her. She was able to get off her Metformin medication and stopped wearing her compression socks. “Just a note to let Michael know how grateful I am to be able to be a part of the Powell Metabolic Program. I am beginning to lose weight and that is something I couldn’t seem to do without the help I am getting with this program. My diabetes is under control and that makes me very happy. The Healthy Options and Portions along with recipes give you a lot to choose from. I especially like the protein shakes. The best part for me is stepping on the scale to see I have lost another pound or two during the week. So please let Michael know howmuch I appreciate the opportunity he has afforded to me!” - Pamela W. In addition to her success, Pamela has lost a total of 12 pounds and 7.5 inches on her waist!

Proud of you Pamela!
