“I am so thankful to Dr. Mark and Dr. Matt and staff, you can see that they truly want to see people succeed, and help people live the lives they were meant to live.

I’ve learned so much Dr. Matt Hennessy, D.C. through their monthly workshops… I even signed up and did the 5k Shuffle this Dr. Mark summer.

I tell all my friends that they need to go see Dr. Mark and Dr. Matt” ~ S.B. I’m a registered Nurse and I can’t recommend Nutrimost enough to EVERYONE! I finished my program earlier this year and have had no problem maintaining my weight! I never expected to see the weight I’m currently at without having to contact a fatal disease. In just 40 days, I couldn’t believe how good I was feeling. I experience no more hot flashes or night sweats, no more meds needed for headaches! Nutrimost SURPASSED my expectations. I enjoy my vacations I took these past few months, because I felt GREAT in my clothes, and I didn’t gain weight like I always did when I’d go away. It did everything they said it would do… and more! Deb B.
I came in because I heard Renk and Tim talk about it on WBCK. I trust them and knew that they wouldn’t promote anything unless they believed in it. Well I finally made the call and as of this day, I am down 33 lbs in just 23 days! I can’t “Best thing I’ve experienced so far, that my daughter can wrap believe the energy I have, I can work 10 hour days without feeling exhausted at the end.

Neighborhood Planning Councils (NPCs) are resident-based groups that serve an important and specific purpose in our community. The purpose of Neighborhood Planning Councils is to provide a forum to inform and discuss with neighborhood residents and representatives of the City staff and City Commissioners, issues and concerns of that neighborhood. Generally, the City informs the NPC of facts and potential results of pending decisions, opportunities or other changes. The NPC discusses and decides what, if any, recommendations it would like to make or strategies they would like to develop.
