“I have had the pleasure of participating in Dee Wolk’s Weight Management program. The program offers a holistic approach to weight management. Dee’s program addresses portion control, nutrition and exercise. The weekly program sessions are helpful in addressing key concepts in weight management.

Her “room full of gold” releases individuals from a “diet mentality”. Her weekly sessions are motivational. Dee’s program is different from other programs since she addresses the concept of emotional eating. She has multiple tools (cards, notebooks, handouts, audio compact discs, etc.) to address all types of learners. She incorporates a numeric scale to rate your hunger prior to eating which I find helpful in listening to my body. She offers personalized attention and calls her participants on a weekly basis to ensure success. I have lost 9 pounds without dieting, and I continue to lose weight.

In summary, Dee’s motivational attitude, enthusiasm, and compassion make her program a success. It is noteworthy to recognize that she has been readily recognized for her program by multiple other physicians. I endorse and recommend Dee’s Wolk’s Weight Management program.”
