Success Stories

I've been in leadership positions for over 20 years. I met Mark when I was assigned to supervise him on the police department. Mark was over the fitness unit at the time. So here I am, 365 pounds, supervising Mark Sherwood. And it really...

Before meeting Dr. Mark and Michelle, I thought I was living a good life. I was a mother of five, a full-time graduate student, worked full time, and volunteered in my community. I just constantly felt tired. I was drinking probably a pot...

A lot of times when we think about people's health, you see people focus on overweight issues. There's a part of the population that's underweight. I've always been a really small framed and I never ate well my entire life. I probably...

Melissa - Before I met Drs. Mark and Michele, I had three diagnosed autoimmune diseases, Lupus, Hashimoto's, and psoriasis. So I had the traditional butterfly rash on my cheeks, and I had a rash covering the entirety of my chest and it...
