The beginning

Julie’s weight loss journey has been about far more than a number on a scale—it has been about reclaiming her health, confidence, and life. She began this journey at 274 pounds after years of being overweight and struggling to find an approach that truly worked. Like many people, Julie tried diets that promised quick results but failed to address the deeper medical and lifestyle factors that were standing in her way. It became clear that lasting change would require a more thoughtful, individualized path.

"This was never about weight loss alone. It was about gaining my life back through consistency, accountability, and a commitment to lifelong health."

The journey

With the guidance of Dr. Hevi, Julie finally found that path. He took the time to look at the full picture, evaluating underlying medical issues that impacted her ability to lose weight and helping her build a realistic exercise plan that worked with her medical conditions, not against them. Through accountability, consistency, and a sustainable approach, she was able to make steady progress over several years rather than chasing short-term fixes.

Today, Julie weighs less than she has in years, but more importantly, she understands that this is a lifelong journey, not a finish line. She has lost over 60 pounds, gained strength and clarity, and rediscovered what it feels like to truly live. Julie’s journey has taught her that sustainable health is built through patience, self-compassion, and commitment, and she is proud of how far she’s come and excited about what lies ahead.
