Nutritionists in Visalia

“I had my first appointment with Dr. Hobbs in early July, 2024. We reviewed my functional medicine test results this week and I just started with the recommended supplements. It's still too early to tell but so far I am happy with his approach and the overall treatment.“

“I purchased 6 sessions of laser lipo off Groupon for about $230. Scheduled my sessions for every Tues & Thurs for 3 wks. Note that the office closes at 5pm & u do need to try & do a session every few days so flexibility in your work schedule should be considered. The office is small & not very private, in a shared bldg. So just be aware of that. It's not a spa, if that's what you're looking for. I was uncomfortable the 1st appt, but got used to it. Bernadette is nice so the experience wasn't unpleasant. You lay down on a massage table & she places paddles on your target area (mine was my waist). The paddles are velcroed down snug, she places a blanket over the paddles, & places headphones on u w/a motivational recording about overcoming food "addiction" - something like that. There isn't any pain w/the laser lipo, just some warmth. I fell asleep a couple of times. The laser lipo lasts about 15 min, then u stand on a vibrating machine for 10 min. It's supposed to help w/the fat disposal. Not unpleasant experience overall, but while u are laying down or on the machine, there could be other customers in the small office & the glass panel office door is open so again, no privacy. No eating an hr before the session and 3 hrs post. You're also advised to eat low carb, drink a ton of water, & exercise. I was already watching my carbs for about a month prior, but did start drinking a lot more water than usual. I tried to exercise the days I had my sessions, but not always. 5 sessions in, I see some improvement in my back - some back fat loss (the paddles wrapped around my waist & a little on my back). I've finished all 6 sessions & I think it did help me lose a little back fat (a nice surprise bc I wasnt even thinking or targeting that area) & a little fat around my waist. I can see someone losing a lot more if they all of a sudden went to low carb bc it's a shock to the system. I'd recommend it if u are wanting to try something that may help jump start a better lifestyle & can afford to spend the money bc altho I think it helped me, I still don't know for sure either. Could it be the diet and water that did it? I do continue to drink more water than before so that's a bonus. I'm still watching my carbs, but not as strict. I am happier now w/my body than I have been in a long time. After 2 kids, I'll take all the help I can get.“
