New Year, Slimmer You For many people, losing weight is at the top of their bucket list. For others, it is the only way to become, and feel healthy again. Many of us have tried yo-yo diets, or buy the expensive celebrity promoted trends, that pop up in social media and TV and radio commercial hype. The failed weight loss remains, and people continue to be discouraged. However, Medical Weight Loss, LLC at (813) 269-SLIM has been proving since 2007 that weight loss, whether 10 pounds or 120 pounds, can be done safely, affordably and successfully! Many

different diseases, such as diabetes, autoimmune and thyroid problems and heart disease, are linked to being overweight. Knee and hip problems are also factors in this area. We know about these things. Weight loss is not just a matter of looking good, but, is a medical program of improving your life and reducing your health risks. Feeling better, is also a great by-product of slimming down. Medical Weight Loss, LLC (269SLIM) is headed by Dr. Gail Jachimek. The main clinic is located at 5111 Ehrlich Road. Their other weight loss clinics are in Wesley Chapel, FL., Lake Geneva and Waukesha, Wisconsin. Their prices have not increased since they began the medical weight loss practice. Dr. Jachimek and her husband are both Chiropractic physicians, and have those clinics in Carrollwood and Spring Hill. So, they also treat patients that are in pain from accident injuries, or just have unwanted neck or back pain! Their medical weight loss program combines pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections and pills, and a clinically proven diet with medical doctor and nursing support and counseling to help their patients reach their “target” weight goals.

This physician supervised program helps those who have before tried and failed to lose unwanted pounds. Dr. Gail says, “We opened the clinic because I was entering menopause and gaining weight. When I asked my primary physician, as well as my doctor friends, for help, I got extremely rude responses. I was told to “push away from the table”. Dr. Gail does not want her patients to go through the same degrading experience. Determined to learn more, Dr. Jachimek joined the ASBP (American Society of Bariatric Physicians) and went to their symposiums for further education and tools. She discovered that there are many contributing factors to weight gain - not just your diet.

Happy New Year 2022! The checklist of New Year resolutions seems well within reach when we’re looking to start ahead in January. Almost everything seems possible. 12 new months to start over and leave everything that was hurting you in the past? Amazing! A six-pack by summer? Done! Read a book per month? Make it two. Finally, conquering that debt you accumulated for years? Say no more. We’re creatures of habit, and even if we don’t want to recognize it, we follow this pattern of setting goals for each new year that starts. And that’s a good thing depending on how you approach it. I bet you all have goals and resolutions for 2022. I certainly do. Except, if these past two years and the new OMICRON variant has taught us anything, is that even though we may have a solid plan and all these great expectations of what this new year will be like, well, life is extremely unpredictable. Life is hard, but it is beautiful! So what if you’re still working on 2020 goals that got postponed due to the pandemic? You’re still here! You can continue working towards achieving everything you’ve set your mind to. The secret is not giving up. But first, SLOW DOWN. Most resolutions fail because we want to do too much too fast to overcompensate for lost time. But that causes us to burn out and quit faster. Try moving at your own pace, but consistently. That’s the key.

Life rarely goes according to plan, and we cannot let ourselves get discouraged or feel hopeless because things didn’t go exactly as we were expecting them to. There are lots of twists and turns and unexpected events. But keep pushing forward and never give up! We need to act like arrows in 2022. Even though we get pulled back, it’s only to gain impulse and be released forward with more strength and better aim. Whenever you feel you’re stuck in a tough situation and moving backward, don’t sweat it; take advantage of the impulse that will propel you ahead. = Before you start your day, just think about how far you’ve gotten. Wake up with a smile and a sense of purpose. Remind yourself of all the great achievements you’ve already accomplished. Count your blessings. Figure out how you can add a sprinkle of positivity to your day or and others’. A simple sentiment can go a long way in boosting the recipient’s mood, and yours as well. Share the love with those closest to you, too. It may be a while since you told your significant other how pretty their eyes are or your kid that you noticed them practicing good manners. Despite what the phrase says, a new year won’t necessarily foster a whole new you, but it should always motivate you to be better and resolutions help with that.

I wish you nothing but the best in I have had to remind myself this new year. regularly that I am just a human being, experiencing tough human experiences, Until next time, which are outside of my control. We may have the same plans for 2022 as we had for previous years, and that’s not bad at all.or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com For Advertising Info 727-943-0551 I info@nnlflorida.com JANUARY 2022 5

Some of the major - story continued from page 1 contributing factors included hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, environmental toxins, autoimmune disease, type 2 diabetes, etc. It was then that she opened the main clinic in Tampa to help people dealing with the same frustrating weight gain frustration she had faced. They have since opened 3 more clinics in Florida and Wisconsin to help people with these problems. “At Medical Weight Loss, LLC, we have medical doctors, as well as nurse practitioners, that have been

treating our patients successfully for years, so that the root cause of these problems can be addressed. Our registered nurses and supportive staff are there for you to help you every step of the way.” Medical weight loss plans are not new, and many are similar, but other programs usually involve significant upcharges and hidden fees. Dr. Jachimek’s 269-SLIM program is different. Her program is focused on the longterm results, meaning, not only will the process safely take off your weight during the active phase of the program, but also prevent the pounds from returning during the

“maintenance phase”... (which is free)! This is no diet trend – This is looking at your medical history, evaluating your EKG, bloodwork and lifestyle. Then, their doctors propose a plan for you, and prescribe appropriate pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections, vitamin therapy and fat burning supplements. “The program is simple, inexpensive and easy to follow. We give you a large list of foods to buy/choose from,” says Dr. Jachimek. “The program is easy, because it is food bought in the grocery store, (no special foods to order) just regular meats, fruits and vegetables on our list. This factor also makes it more affordable, because you don’t have to buy special foods, or cook separate dinners if you have a family.” Under the supervision of their medical doctors, patients can drop 20 to 30 pounds in the first month. Dr. Jachimek

said that it is common to see 5-10 pounds dropped in the first week. “We have had patients that have lost 17 pounds in their first week, as well as patients that have lost over a hundred pounds on our program”, says Dr. Jachimek. Accountability is also a major part of the program. Keeping the patients safe and on track, their nurses evaluate, and treat patients weekly to provide support and give suggestions on how to reach and maintain their target weight. Dr. Jachimek stresses that there are no price surprises at Medical Weight Loss, 269-SLIM. The initial visit is $195 and weekly visits are just $55. That’s it! This is what you have been waiting for! An inexpensive, easy and successful way to lose the unwanted pounds that have made you miserable for years.
