Meridian Weight Worldwide

Today is my 47^th birthday.  I want to use this little milestone to reach out to those who suddenly find themselves approaching “middle age”! I have been an RN for over 20 years. I also have a certification as a personal trainer from the American College of Sports Medicine. I have had a wonderful career and raised a beautiful family of which I consider my greatest accomplishment in life!

For the last 6 years, I have been working to treat obesity. My wife is a doctor, she has a board certification in Obesity medicine and Family practice.We saw the problems with obesity and the many health problems associated with it, and we decided to go out on a limb and start a clinic dedicated to improving health through the treatment of obesity, thus Meridian Weight Management Center was formed. We were not funded by anyone, we took our life savings, worked multiple jobs and made it happen. Since 2013 we have grown to 2 locations, where we have helped thousands achieve success ! This is not a fad or a fly by night pyramid scheme. This is a proven program that makes a difference.

Here’s how it works. When you reach out to us for help, we set up an appointment with one of our providers, we also send you several forms to complete, that give us information about your health history, diet history, and likes and dislikes. When you are seen by the provider, you are given a physical exam, possibly lab and other tests are ordered as needed, and a plan is formulated based on all of this information.  The next step is to work the plan we have 17 different tracks or “diets” that we may suggest. We check in with clients weekly to get weights, vitals, and to make sure they are eating correctly according to the track and getting as much exercise as possible. We usually have them follow up with a provider monthly. We also have a behavioral therapist that clients may see. They help explore the whys of our habits.

We have found the weekly check ins to be of tremendous value. They provide accountability and education that can mean the difference between giving up and being successful. With what we have learned, The provider visits are important, especially to those clients with more severe health problems that require medical intervention such as prescribed medication.

We believe we have found a way to take our program to a much wider audience and help those who are struggling with the problem of weight loss. I can not tell you how many times I have heard from people, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I used to be able to lose weight easily, but once I hit 40, it just will not come off!” Of you are struggling, you understand you can’t always just cut back on what you eat and exercise more, it just does not work.

With our traditional clinic method, access was limited to those who live close enough to one of our clinics to come to appointments. Now we have a way to take care of people all across the State and Nation!

Here is how the new virtual system will work. First, potential clients will go to our website, www.meridianweight.net . There they can sign up for different levels of service, according to their need and budget. The basic level is 9.99 a month. For this, the client is given access to our forms which we will review and provide suggestions for a new way of eating. They will have access to our weight tracker on the site where they can record weights and track progress as well as our meal tracker and tons of great tips and suggestions from our Obesity Medicine Doctor.  The second level is one we think will have the biggest impact and can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world. For 19.99 a month, Clients will not only have an experienced coach from our office review and suggest a way of eating, we will provide weekly feedback, tracking progress, evaluating needs and providing encouragement! If we see the need to have medical intervention, we can set up a virtual visit with one of our providers for $59.00 as long as the client is in a State where we are licensed!

I’m asking for everyone’s help in getting the word out on our new program. I would love to start the new year off with my email overloaded with people all across the country having lost that weight they needed to lose!
