‘I’ve always been a very active athletic person and enjoyed working out. Somehow I let the day-to-day grind of life get me down and completely stopped working out, and began eating absolutely terrible. I did not do any exercise, of any kind, for over a year-and -half and my weight ballooned to over 300lbs. Naturally, along with this awesome new unhealthy body came the spoils of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression & high blood sugar. It wasn’t until I had some routine blood work done that I got a much needed slap in the face. The results of my blood test showed that I was borderline diabetic and I had the testosterone level of a 102 year old man (I’m 49). I did my research and decided to try the HCG and Hormone Replacement Therapy as a way to reverse this downward spiral. I’m very happy to report it worked!! I lost over 40lbs. in the 45 day HCG regimen and over 50lbs. to date (80 days). Obviously I look better, feel better, but more importantly I AM better! No more high blood pressure medicine or cholesterol medicine and my blood sugar and testosterone are at fantastic levels. All I can say is Thank You! I got my life back!!’

“I started hcg on January 4, 2011 after going on every diet plan out there and decided to give the hcg program a chance I also wanted to have my hormones tested. I lost 24 lbs on the 40 day program but what really blew me away is I have continued to lose weight due to my hormones being in balance, I have lost a total of 40 lbs and am still losing.

I went from a size 12 to a size 8 getting ready to go into a size 6, I haven’t been that small since about 1997 and the difference now is that I’m sure I can keep it off. On previous diets I could lose the weight but it would come right back, I was a yo-yo dieter for about 20 years now with my hormones in check and some great information regarding hormones and supplements I know it will stay off!!!! Thanks to NBH Lifetime Health!!!! Every women who can’t lose weight needs to go see NBH!!!!

On Nov. 1 2010 I was 245 pounds, 23% body fat, with a cholesterol level of 218.  Even though I worked out, I was always tired and lacked energy.  I had even lost sex drive.  After 3 weeks of HCG and 20 weeks of testosterone, I am 220 pounds 11% body fat, and have a cholesterol level of 174. I also have put on 11 pounds of muscle.  I have more energy than I’ve had in years, I’ve never been this strong, and my sex drive has returned.  I feel 20 years younger.  I’m still on testosterone, working out, and eating better.  I can’t wait for my next body comp test.

NBH Life time has been a life saver I have lost 50 lbs and I feel great! Before coming to NBH Lifetime I tried everything to loose weight and I was unsuccessful, however in the program I learned how to eat and how to prepare my food I have the tools to perpetuate my weight loss and have totally changed my eating habits as a result.

I have added 10 years to my life by lowering my blood pressure and have boosted the way I feel about looking at myself daily. I did this primarily for my family because when my daughter was born in 2008 I made a determination that she would not see Daddy struggling with weight and have the potential to battle with weight herself later in life.

I wanted to lead by example and lead my family into a healthier lifestyle incorporating the way we eat and exercise together. As a result our entire family has been affected even those around me in my church and work have been inspired to do something about their weight and live healthier to include my mother who has battled w/ diabetes for a long time and I see her already reaping the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

You never know who is watching you and waiting for you to make a move toward a healthier lifestyle. We indirectly affect the lives of others around us through our very actions I encourage you to inspire change in someone’s life today!”

NBH has truly changed my life 100%! after giving birth in 2008 I found myself left with a ton of extra baby weight to loose. I desperately wanted to loose weight before our 2010 wedding and diet and exercise were not enough alone. Shorty after starting the program I shed 20lbs. After a few short months I had reached my goal. Starting out at 175 ending at a stunning 125!! Words cannot explain how awesome I felt the day of our wedding. Thank you NBH for changing my life
Best,

I lost a about 30 lbs. on the Prescription Hormones diet at your clinic and have been able to keep it off, unlike all the other weight loss diets on which I have lost weight. Everything you say about the program, I found to be absolutely true. I was not hungry and felt good while I was on the program. I would not hesitate to do it again.
-B.C., Austin, Texas 05/31/2011

The last 40 days has been a turning point in my health. At 42 years old 5’9’’, and 322lbs. It goes without saying I did not enjoy a healthy lifestyle until I was introduced to Natural Lifetime Health. In 40 days I have lost 42lbs. and I am feeling much better with restored energy levels that I can use to keep up with my 11 year old son. It is a great program to restart your life back on the healthy track, especially if you took your health for granted as I did for so many years. Thanks NBH!

“I am a chronic pain physician who sees patients with back pain on a daily basis. Most of them are referred to me from family physicians that tell them to lose weight but do not give them the tools to do it. Let’s face it; the leading cause of back pain is obesity. I refer my patients to NBH Lifetime Health. They have a proven track record of success in correcting the metabolic problems that lead to obesity and taking the weight off quickly and safely.

Moreover, I not only refer patients to them, I am a patient! Faced with escalating blood sugars and the realistic possibility of having to take diabetic medications, I enrolled myself in their program. In three months I have lost almost thirty pounds and brought my blood sugar down to normal levels. I feel better than I have in years! NBH Lifetime Health is a closely monitored physician supervised weight loss program. I trust them with my patient’s health because I trust them with my own.”

“Thank you for the letter [newsletter]. I am an avid supporter of this diet [Prescription Hormones]. It has worked for me. I travel a lot and tend to over eat when traveling. I can get right back on the diet and lose those gained pounds. However, I have kept off the majority of the initial loss for 1 1/2 years. I love it. In God We Trust,

“My name is Stacy and I am 38 years old and just completed my Prescription Hormones Diet a couple of months ago. I had a baby almost a year ago and gained over 60 lbs. I took off almost 40 lbs on my own but just could not get the rest and that’s why I decided to give the program a try. All I can say is IT WORKS!! I lost 15 lbs in three weeks and now have zero bad fat- I look and feel better than I have in a long time. If you follow the program it’s a home run. My husband and his brother also completed the program. My husband lost 30 lbs and his brother lost about 45 lbs! It is amazing. Some will ask how you can survive on 500 calories. All I can say is I have maintained for several months now, and even lost more!!! Also through the process I got some much needed information on hormones that I have started taking to normalize my levels. The whole process has really changed my life for the better and I would 100% recommend this to anyone!”

“Here is a testimonial about my experience on the Prescription Hormones Diet. My sincere thanks to you, Dr. Feste, and your wonderful team in giving me the power to take my life and health back.

As a busy executive and consultant, I travel heavily and had trouble losing the weight I packed over the last few years. Conventional dieting was not successful for me, and I rarely have the opportunity to fit in workouts during my busy and often very long days. I have a family history of diabetes and stroke, and had serious concerns about my future health – especially now that I am over 40.

I also had trouble sleeping, frequently experienced fatigue that I countered with large amounts of caffeine, and had been suffering from mood swings for years. After my consultation with Dr. Feste, I was greatly relieved to learn that my problems were not unique and my family history and blood work showed that I had several underlying causes of my symptoms.

On the Prescription Hormones Diet, I was able to successfully lose 20 lbs in 40 days – even while keeping up a hectic travel schedule and still eating out 4 days a week. I learned how to eat healthy foods while living out of a suitcase. I even lost 6 lbs during the week I was in Vegas! In addition to my weight loss, I am now able to sleep normally, have improved energy, even moods, and feel better than I have in 20 years. I cannot recommend this program highly enough – it has saved my life and as a bonus – I now look great in jeans and am looking forward to swimsuit season for the first time in years.”

“Awesome! That’s the word that best describes the Prescription Hormones program. I lost 10 pounds the first week. I have now lost a total of 37 pounds finishing the first round.

I can honestly say that I was never really hungry while on Prescription Hormones. There were a couple of times that I thought, “I’m just gonna die if I don’t eat what they are eating!” Not! I didn’t die and I didn’t need the fried chicken or the chicken fried steak.

It was then that I decided that I wasn’t dieting just for looks but for my health. Having already had cancer and turning 60, needing a partial knee replacement and foot surgery well…Not exactly a good picture of health.

I can tell you that my knee and my foot feel incredibly better. I walk normal most of the time now! (Arthritis comes for a visit now-and-then). Not only am I looking better, I feel great!

Thank you Lifetime Health.”

“I really enjoyed every aspect about your office and can’t wait to get started. Did my labs this morning and will be there on Monday for the results! Hope you have an awesome day and a happy and prosperous new year!”

“I’ve always worked out, taken martial arts, and have tried not overeating – but, at age 41, I was 260 pounds and couldn’t seem to get the weight off. This Prescription Hormones program has allowed me to achieve 225 (my weight at age 25) and excel beyond any of my expectations. The comprehensive look at my metabolism and the professional knowledge of the staff, combined with an easy to follow program made ALL of the difference for me. I feel great! Thank you!”
- R.J., Austin, Texas (lost 32 pounds on the program)

 

 

 

“I devised a method to promote religious adherence to the program. My diet and routine made life 100% easier. I basically restricted my diet to: chicken breast, turkey breast, broccoli, cauliflower, apples and oranges. The protein shakes were an integral tool in keeping my hunger at bay. I did do pushups/sit-ups three times a week just to keep my core tight and get my heart moving. Building a daily routine was the key to my success. I just kept telling myself “it’s going to be worth it. “ Strict compliance with your personal routine does pay off. Once the cycle was over, not only did my cravings not exist, I felt stronger and more focused. I am a true believer. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. “
- C.M., Woodlands,Texas (CM lost a total of 44.8 pounds in 43 days and stated that he will do another round)

My Prescription Hormones experience with Lifetime Health Weight Loss has been a great one, and I am loving the results! I have lost 44 pounds, accomplished in two Prescription Hormones rounds with a 4 week break in between. My loss after the first round was 27 pounds.

My smaller size has been a revelation to me. I have a renewed confidence in almost everything I do…. Being a normal weight has allowed me to dress fashionably for the first time in years. I can finally choose clothing based on what I actually like, and not just what fits.
- S.G., Austin

 

NBH Lifetime Health has been a life-saver for me. I have lost over 30 lbs on the Prescription Hormones 40 day program. I am off my diabetes and high blood pressure medication. I feel better than I have in 20 years. The staff and physician are so helpful and encouraging, they make the 40 days go by so much smoother.
- R.M. Austin

 

My experience has been one of complete success, and I could not feel more encouraged.

After a year of failed attempts to lose weight, despite very true and consistent effort, the Prescription Hormones injections have obviously motivated something new in me.

My husband and I joined the NBH Lifetime Health Prescription Hormones program. We can both say that this program works. The 40 days went by fast. Hunger was not a problem. The foods were appealing and satisfying. The diet is not hard to follow, with some planning, even when traveling. We lost the weight we expected and plan to continue on the program. We can see and feel

The results. My husband lost 30 lbs. and I lost 18.6 lbs. We appreciated all of the one on one attention we received from the staff and medical doctor.

The Prescription Hormones that I’ve taken these past couple of months have changed my life tremendously! From being two-hundred and fifty pounds, to one-hundred and seventy-three pounds not only boosted my confidence in myself, but made me more active than what I use to be. I’ve lost more than seventy-five pounds and I am still counting to this very day as I continue the Prescription Hormones program. The program is great and in my opinion – LIFE CHANGING!

I thank the doctors for introducing Prescription Hormones to me because if they had not, I would more and likely be around three-hundred (300!) today. I’ve become more social with others rather than being so self-conscience of myself and worrying about what others think about me.

I LOVE the fact of how fit I’ve become and suggest to any human being who wants to change their eating habits and loose weight, to try the Prescription Hormones program.

My Prescription Hormones experience has been a great one, and I am loving the results! Here are some of the highlights.

1. I have lost 44 pounds, accomplished in two Prescription Hormones rounds with a 4 week break in between. My loss after the first round was 27 pounds. Ordinarily, I would have been thrilled with that amount of weight loss and would have been delighted to stop right there. But the protocol was so easy to follow and I felt so great on it, that I decided to go for a second round. After two rounds and a total weight loss of 44 pounds, again I am making the decision to go forward for another round because it is not hard to follow and I feel my health has been so greatly improved by the weight loss and healthy eating. I struggled with the decision of whether to do a third round, and finally concluded that the plan is so simple, why not? I am on maintenance now and will begin my third round after the holidays.

2. Since beginning the Prescription Hormones protocol, I have never felt better. My resistance to colds and flu has been greatly enhanced and I have not been ill with allergies or anything else since I began this new way of eating. I used to have seasonal allergies that really affected my health greatly. They would start an upper-respiratory chain-reaction that always resulted in trips to the doctor, cough and bronchitis, sinusitis, medications, etc… It is so great not to be burdened with allergies any more.

3. My smaller size has been a revelation to me. This new person was hiding inside the old one for so long, I forgot she was there! I have a renewed confidence in almost everything I do and I no longer feel awkward and out-of-place in my social circle. Being a normal weight has allowed me to dress fashionably for the first time in years. I can finally choose clothing based on what I actually like, and not just what fits. Also, doing the laundry has really changed, too. I used to drip-dry most of my clothing so I would not take a chance they would shrink. Now I am purposely trying to shrink them because they are just too big.

4. I used to curse the steps in my three-story house. There are 22 steps alone from the main floor to the walk-out basement where the garage, laundry room and my study are located. The old me grabbed the railing hard, and went down step by step, hoping my knees wouldn’t hurt too much or give out on me. Going down the stairs was very hard on my knees, and going up the steps made me huff and puff. But now when I get to the top or bottom of the steps, I stop and marvel that it was so easy, I hardly give it a thought any more. Even carrying heavy loads of laundry up and down the steps doesn’t phase me at all.

I think Prescription Hormones is simply a miracle. My friends who introduced me to your program think it is too, and another friend I brought to the program also feels the results are extraordinary. This protocol really has taken away the desire for the terrible processed and high-sugar foods that were a staple in my previous diet. I’m sure that maintenance will be easy for me now that this new way of eating has become a habit. I look forward to losing more weight in my next round, and hope to go from average weight to thin very soon.

Have a wonderful holiday, and see you in January!
- N.D., Austin

 

 

 

I am a patient of the Lifetime Health Weight Loss Center in College Station. At the age of 22, I had gained a substantial amount of weight in College. I started the Lifetime Health program on December 1, 2009 and weighed 235.7 lbs. On January 12, 2010 (approximately 40 days later), I weighed 222 lbs. And I did this through the holidays!

I have already lost more than 15 lbs. My objective is to weigh 190 lbs. I expect to be there in the next 3 to 4 months. I also feel much better and appreciate the help of the staff at the College Station office.
- W.J., College Station, Texas

 

I have lost 73 pounds, ½ way through my 3rd round of the Prescription Hormones diet. I had given up hope of losing that much weight, but this diet truly is a safe, healthy way to lose that much weight. It has also adjusted my way of thinking about food and diet.

Once I’ve completed the program to get to my targeted weight (12 more pounds), I’m confident that I can keep the weight off and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to lose weight.
- M.R., Lakeway, TX

This program is GREAT!! 33.3 lb loss!

The diet was very successful and very inspiring.

My family noticed a huge difference. I can’t wait to get started on the second phase.

This has been just what I needed. I highly recommend the program.

This clinic had everything someone needs to succeed – the products, and especially the people!! Thank you!
- O.S., Austin TX

 

I have finally gotten below 200lbs! I went from a size 46 waist to a 34-36 waist! Thank you and all the staff for all the help. I still got about 20lbs to go. Your program has been a life saver. My wife is doing very well on the program too and is losing everyday.

My third week, I dropped my Prescription Hormones to 100 units and never looked back! I completely regained my energy level. Felt like a Million bucks and continued to lose weight. I lost 19 pounds!

Dear NBH Lifetime Health,

I write this note of thanks with a heart full of gratitude for you and your staff at NBH Lifetime Health and for making available the Prescription Hormones Weight Loss program.

After turning 40, I noticed that I was having a harder time keeping weight off which had not really a problem for me until then. But, after turning 42 in December of 2008, I decided that I had to get serious about losing those unwanted pounds.

I started my weight loss journey at the end of January 2009. I committed myself to going to the gym 5 days per week and eating a healthy diet of lean meats, fruits and lots of veggies. But, after two and a half months, I had lost only 7 pounds! Talk about frustrating! I was even running in both 5K and 10K races!!

I heard about NBH Lifetime Health and the Prescription Hormones program through a friend of mine and decided to give it a try. I am so happy to report that after just 40 days on the program I have dropped 17 pounds and today as I write this, I am just two pounds away from hitting my target weight.

I am just so thrilled I can’t even tell you. For the first time in 5-6 years I am in that bikini that I’ve been missing and I look and feel great. It is my sincere hope that other women out there find out about you and give this program a chance. It works! It works! It works!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this program available. Also, thank you for making it available at such a reasonable price and for all the help and guidance you and your staff provided along the way! I’ve already recommended you to several friends and have two that are signed up for the program. I felt so taken care of by your staff, Dr. Gutierrez, and Carolyn and amazingly never really felt hungry!

I still can’t believe this program worked. But it did and I’m just so glad I took a chance. I honestly did NOT think I could ever get rid of those unwanted pounds but I did it. If I can do it, I know others can too!!
- Sincerely yours, L. M., Austin

“I was skeptical when I was told that I could expect to lose 20 to 30 lbs. on the Prescription Hormones program offered at the Lifetime Health Weight Loss Clinic.

“Dear Sir,
As I am sure you will not remember me due to the patient load you must have. I have seen you at your College Station clinic. I not only am on the weight loss program, but the hormone replacement therapy as well. I started taking my medication on 1/21/09. You had told me to expect to start feeling better in about 30 days. Well sir I have to tell you, that I started feeling better in about 2 weeks. I discontinued using the hormone patches, (videlle dot .075), 10 days after starting the meds. as instructed. And at this point, I feel better now, than I have in about 5 years. I have dropped somewhere around 20lbs., and hope to loose about 10-15 more. I cannot thank you enough for the complete attention to my needs, not to mention the patience that I have been afforded. I just wanted you to know I will advertise for your program any day!”

I hope that you had a good holiday. Holidays are always so busy! I was sure I would have time to sit around and write you a testimonial but we had lots of snow and that created lots of opportunities to be outside. But, if I don’t make time I won’t do it so here goes….

For the last 2 years my energy level in general had been dropping. My weight had started to increase somewhat and no matter what I tried I just couldn’t change either factor. Starting in March of 2010 after several very long international business trips the tired feeling became unbearable. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t focus on work or anything else for that matter. I visited my GP 3 times and had many tests run. The most conclusive result was that I had high cholesterol. So, I changed my diet and started to exercise daily. The result was that I became even more tired and my joints and muscles started to hurt during and after my exercise. Again, I visited my GP and was given some tests. Again, the tests came back with nothing.

Let me say that this tired feeling is not normal for me. I was a very active person. I enjoyed kayaking, fishing, hiking, moving the grass, gardening with my wife and working on my father’s cattle farm. From March to May I didn’t have the energy to do any of these things. My life had changed and my hope for the future was dim given the lack of any positive direction from the medical community.

Unsatisfied with my condition I visited NBH Lifetime Health. I was hesitant to make this appointment and expected to get the same results as with other doctors. The visit went as I expected and tests were ordered. At this point I was very frustrated and expected the same results I had gotten for the previous months. However, much to my surprise on my 2nd appointment the doctor at NBH Lifetime Health gave me some very encouraging news. I was told that my testosterone levels were very low and that my thyroid gland was on the verge of complete exhaustion. During the appointment the doctor from NBH Lifetime Health took the time to explain in detail how all the hormones worked together and how with management of these hormone levels my overall health would improve.

I began the medication as prescribed and within two weeks I noticed an improvement in my ability to sleep and my energy levels as well. Since May my waist measurement has dropped two inches and my energy levels have gone back to normal. Once again I was able to spend the summer enjoying kayak trips to the lake, fishing all day and even working in the garden. My joints and muscles are no longer sore after normal activities. I have even begun to dream during sleep for the first time in more years that I can remember.

My focus is back and once again I look forward to each new day. I have been very happy with my results and with the service provided by NBH Lifetime Health.

To NBH Lifetime Health,

For years I have struggled with my weight. It became worse after having my daughter. I limited my diet to mostly fruit and vegetables with very little protein. My mother had weight problems as well as my sisters. I didn’t want to take diet pills so I turned to exercise. This help reduce my weight by 30 pounds, but I never could get rid of the last 20 pounds.

In my 40′s I experience problems with swelling in my feet and legs. I made sure to work out every morning before going to work to help lesson this problem. I also developed a problem with eating meat. I became very nauseated when I ate meat and eliminated this from my diet. It turned out the problem was from my gallbladder.

I mentioned to my family doctor I was concerned about my legs and feet swelling and felt this could be related to hormones. He suggested I wear compression stockings and take up some form of exercise. Funny, I had competed in several 5K’s, half marathons, and full marathons, and when I mentioned this to him he suggested it was something I was just going to learn to live with.

When I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery, again I was concerned this was related to problems with my hormones. I failed to mention that for several years I had problems with ovarian cysts and my Gynocologist suggested a low estrogen birth control to help reduce my problems with the cysts. They only problem was the cysts were becoming a lot more painful and it was suggested I would eventually need my ovaries removed because of the cysts.

I started to try and educate myself more regarding leg swelling, why the gallbladder problem, and ovarian cysts. All these things can be a result of hormonal embalance. Each time I tried to talk to my family doctor and Gynocologist regarding checking my hormones or a problem with hormonal imbalance I was told it was all part of “getting older.” In the back of my mind I remembered my mother and sister. My mother was a BioChemist and worked as a cancer researcher. She was incredibly smart. My mom was diagnosed with breat cancer in her early 50′s and underwent a radical mastectomy and chemotherapy. Another 10 years later my older sister had to undergo a complete hysterectomy due to cancer. When my Mom was 71 she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She was placed on a chemo pill Aromosan that is a hormonal therapy for postmenopausal women. She passed away at 72 from lung cancer.

I felt so helpless because I knew I was having hormonal problems of my own and nobody could help me or listen to me. I had been feeling “bad” for a while and did not know what was wrong with me. My doctors felt I was fine. I was reading a magazine one day when my eye caught “Natural Biodentical Hormone Therapy.” Under this was listed some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. I called the number listed and made my first appointment on September 23, 2010. Dr Feste of NBH Lifetime Health listened to everything I had to say and read everything I wrote. He addressed each of my concerns and I started my journey to becoming healthier.

I learned how to finally eat in a healthy manner. I am able to eat beef, fish, and chicken without any problems. I have a diet full of vegetables. I know how many carbs I can eat daily as well as protein and maintain my healthy weight. I have lost 22 pounds and feel great. I went to my gynocologist recently for a followup ultra sound to check on my cysts and they are gone. I am so greatful to Dr Feste for what he has done for me. I am even getting along better with my husband. I can handle daily work stress much more easily than I have in a long time. I am hopeful that maybe I can avoid the same fate as my mom in sister regarding cancer. My journey has not been about weight, it is about my health. Thank you Dr. Feste for helping me become a much healthier person.
