My weight loss journey began on 6/14/2014. I came to Innovative Health because I gained some unexplained weight and although it wasn’t much – I was already heavy – averaging for many of years 170-180’s – I was now 206. My primary care physician did not have any medical reason as to why and recommended Innovative Healthcare. I decided to give them a chance……. So a few weeks in… going to the clinic each week = watching and making myself more aware of what I was eating…. And losing…. But I had a revelation – I was emotionally dependent on food. If I had a rough day – the diet was much harder and more upsetting to me. If I had a lot going on – running around – a busier than normal day at work – the diet was much more challenging – what do I eat in a drive-thru in between running around?? What do I do when I don’t think ahead – or go to a place and don’t know what my healthy option is?? These were the questions I was facing – along with – how do I make better choices when life doesn’t go my way. Through the guidance and support of all the wonderful people at Innovative Health – I learned how to overcome the emotional battle I was having with food. How to live life – and make better choices! In January of 2015, at my physical with my primary care dr., all my labs and levels were completely normal. First time in over a decade! Since this journey began almost a year ago, I have lost over 70 pounds. I was just at a size 18 in June of 2014 and am now a size 4. My BMI in June 2014 was 37.7 – My BMI is June 2015 is 24.7. This has been a life changing process. I never intended to come this far, but once I realized I was capable of making better choices and not feeling like I was depriving myself of anything….. It was an empowering – almost addictive feeling! I give you this advice……. My two cents….. I actually don’t diet. I make choices with my foods that have the best nutritional value of the options I have at that meal. I do that one meal at a time. I make my best attempt to plan my meals each day to each week, but I do not battle with myself if I don’t do as well as maybe I could have. Life is Life…….. I cannot punish myself today for yesterday. Second is – I don’t cheat – I allow myself – whether its enjoying dessert with my daughter – or a hearty breakfast before hiking – or just a treat with my boyfriend on the golf course. I always remind myself – you earned it! And a whisper of – moderation! Sharing is a great tool in enjoying the food and keeping the moderation, and the bonus is – enjoying a meal or snack with someone! So…. If sitting there wondering if this could be you – just be honest with yourself – what is your struggle – what are your challenges – Innovative Health will guide you to make good choices and find the options you may not know exist!

I found Innovation completely by accident online. I asked some questions on their live chat and was interested enough that I scheduled a consultation. I went in and met with the staff there, and that was all it took to hook me. They were so warm - so welcoming - so encouraging - so knowledgeable - so patient - I decided to sign up for the weight loss program. I started on May 19 and in 10 weeks i have lost 40 pounds! There are no weird diets or crazy restrictions - just healthy choices and a group of people that feel like family cheering you on. Some days dieting isnt easy (duh!) but I cant count the number of times I have passed on the cheeseburger and made a better choice because i dont want to disappoint Julie (and the rest of the fabulous staff!) when i go in to weigh. I would recommend Innovation to anyone wanting to improve their health. If youre looking for a program with effective results and a group of people to work with along the way that are encouraging and professional and supportive beyond belief, then this is the place for you! I cannot say thank you enough for all they have already done for me on my journey to becoming a healthier and happier me. i am truly grateful!

Glad I found this place (Woodstock location) for chiropractic adjustments. I have been suffering with Sciatica for a while now. And Dr. Orlando is one of the best chiropractors I have ever been to. Before I found out about this place, I used to go to a kinda "popular" chiropractic place in Woodstock. But didnt have a good experience there... the chiropractor there did not take any time to ask / listen to me, just did the standard 3-4 moves every single time... and I would be in and out of his office within 2 minutes (or less). If I asked him questions on what I am doing wrong or what I should do to get better, he did not offer anything - which was really off-putting for me. But Dr. Orlando is knowledgeable, listens to me to assess what needs to be done at each visit. He truly wants to help, explains clearly any time I have questions (which I often do)... he actually went above and beyond to do some exercises along with me, which I should be doing at home. Added bonus: 1. They have a spinal decompression machine which is very helpful in my case, along with other massage equipment. 2. Great staff - very courteous, pleasant and helpful.

I started going to Innovative in Woodstock at the beginning of December 2015 and just 2 months later, I have already lost 27 lbs! The medical weight loss program in conjunction with a healthier diet and moderate exercise has made a huge impact. The staff is absolutely wonderful and I look forward to my weekly visits. I wish more medical and doctors offices were as good as this place. Innovatives program and staff have raised the bar for professionalism and service. I dread the day that I reach my weight loss goal but I am sure they have other programs that will benefit me so I can keep coming back. Thanks to the staff at Woodstock Innovative Health for helping me so much! Sincerely, Jar-Rod

I didnt think that medical weight loss was ever something I would pursue, but I work with a friend who was going to Innovative and she was seeing great results. I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised that my insurance covered the program. I started my weight loss a little more than two months ago and I am now closing in on 10 pounds gone. Inches too! It has been slow and steady. I have changed my eating habits and am fully invested in trying to lose another 10-15 pounds. I want to also say how caring, supportive, encouraging and truly friendly all the people are in this office. I look forward to my weekly visits and I have had nothing but a great experience.

February 8th, 2016 was the day my life changed forever when I walked into Innovative and began their weight loss program. I lost 23 pounds the first month with just the program alone. The second month I felt energized and ready to start working out in conjunction with the program where I have now lost a total of 47lbs. I look forward to every Monday and Thursday when I get to come and see my Innovative friends. The staff is so fun, friendly and supportive! I cant sing their praises enough. If you want people to stop you and say, "Dang, you look good! What are you doing?" Get to Innovative. I cant wait to reach my goal weight but I will seriously miss coming in!
