Progress Your Health

I first heard of Dr. Maki when I started listening to his pod cast Progress Your Health. I listened to this for about a year and every episode I would end it with «this makes so much sense! I contacted his office and we set up a phone appointment because I live in a different state. We have been working together for close to two years. I have had many improvements to my health. I have struggled with my weight for many years and when I am focused on what he tells me to do I lose weight quickly without feeling deprived. But we are trying to find out WHY I can not stay consistent. He has never givin up on me! I would be so much worse right now if it was not for his knowledge and understanding that it is not an all in one answer. Thank you Dr. Maki!

Dr. Robert Maki has been working with me for a few years now and I can honestly tell you it has been a Great experience. Dr. Maki is very knowledgeable in the field of weight loss and overall health. He shows and expresses genuine concern for your overall health and wellbeing. If your looking to loose weight and feel great Dr. Maki and his team will not give up on you. I recommend reading Dr. Maki’s e-​book the perfect weight loss solution.

Ive been struggling with my weight for at least 10 years. At one point I started to starve myself. I lost 30lbs but as soon as I ate food, I gained it all back plus 40lbs! Every doctor I saw told me I needed to «quit drinking soda and get off the couch», or offered a kooky injection, or appetite suppressant. I tried every fad diet, and was killing myself at the gym. I hired several personal trainers, weight loss clinics and a dietitian before I found Dr. Maki. I had a suspicion that I had a hormone issue, but I couldn’t get any doctors to look into it. My concerns were always dismissed.
Dr. Maki is the ONLY doctor that didn’t dismiss me, or give up on what my issue was. The only doctor who actually listen to my concerns and treated me with dignity and respect. The only doctor who actually looked into finding an answer for me. When I fist saw Dr. Maki I was in bad shape. 30 years old and numerous health problems, pre-​diabetic and mentally at rock bottom. I felt helpless and lost. my weight seemed to climb no matter what I did. I was full of inflammation, had swelling in my hands and feet, my gallbladder removed (with symptoms STILL there) heart burn, acid indigestion, bloating, 70lbs over weight, back problems, arthritis, and migraines. I was busting my butt at the gym 3 times a week and running 3 miles everyday, counting my calories, with NO weight loss. Right before my first appointment with Dr. Maki, I cried like a baby in my car, and wished with all my heart that this doctor was different, because I really couldn’t take another doctor telling me I was lazy. I was ready to give up and accept my obesity.
Right away Dr. Maki made me feel hope again. As he explained what his theory of my issue was, I began to get excited… this Dr. WAS different! my case wasn’t new, and I wasn’t lazy! All the stress and anxiety started to disappear. We did some blood tests and right away he started me on a plan. I felt was I able to be honest with this doctor and tell him how I felt because I didn’t feel judged by him. Dr. Maki really listens to my concerns, my questions and really honestly made me feel like he understood. He was sympathetic to my frustrations and never judged me. Strictly following his advice, I stopped gaining weight. The fact that my weight stabilized and didn’t climb was a huge triumph for me. I was so used to the number increasing that I almost didn’t believe it. After an ultra sound and more blood work, He identified my problem. I had an ANSWER! After years of feeling low, and being told I was lazy, I finally had an answer. Since January, I’ve lost 20lbs, so far, without going to the gym, taking some crazy pills. or injections. Mentally, I am doing so much better. I have a direction. hope. a plan. Because of Dr. Maki, I am starting to understand how my body works, and why the gym and diets didnt work. I don’t count calories, or movement points. I live. I am educated on what «healthy» truly means, and I take life one day at a time. I don’t have a weight loss goal date or deadline. I am learning to trust my body and eat food. My body is slowly but surely healing and I am happy to see slow but steady progress. I couldn’t have done any of it with out Dr. Maki. He is modest, and says I’ve done all the work, but my health is a total 180 degrees, Because of him. My desperation is gone. and I can see and feel my body changing. The swelling, heart burn, acid indigestion, migraines, arthritis, and pre diabetic is all gone. My back pain is better, and I am off sleep medications. No more spiraling out of control. I feel like Dr. Maki empowered me again. I feel like I have control of my body and my choices shape my health.
One thing I would suggest, make sure you follow his advice. This is a doctor you can trust, so do exactly what he says. cheating or straying from what he says will only hurt your success. He knows what he is talking about, and will help you, but you also have to help yourself. It wasn’t easy for me to always follow his advice, but I am/​was dedicated to my health. So I followed all his advice, and now I am enjoying my life again. Everything he advised me on was safe, and effective. His plans are holistic and natural.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Maki to anyone looking to gain back control of their health.
This doctor will actually take the time to help you, and listen. Thank you Dr. Maki for all you have done, and continue to do for me. I wish all doctors worked like you do. This is true healthcare.
Also, Erika, his customer care rep is a total delight to talk to. She makes appointment setting super fast and easy. I always get my calls and emails returned quickly.
