I want to share something a little personal (and I’ll share a discount code at the end as well).
Last year was an exciting (and honestly, crazy) year for our practice. We moved and expanded our office space, brought on new team members, and added more services — all things I’m incredibly grateful for.
While I was stoked for the growth professionally, I was frustrated with the growth of my midsection at the same time. I’ve always thought of myself as an 180 pound man, and this December I started pushing over 210 lbs. Yikes. I wasn’t thrilled with how I looked, and I also know what health risks I faced being 30+ pounds overweight.
So I committed to get back on track. I cleaned up my diet, got more serious in the gym, and made time for rest. But despite my best efforts, the weight still wouldn’t come off. I felt stuck.
Less than 3 months ago, I decided to give Berberine by Thorne a shot — and things finally started to shift. Remarkably, I’ve lost 20 pounds. While I still have 10 pounds to go, I’m optimistic that I’ll get back to the weight I was in when I was in my 20’s.
So what is Berberine, and why does it work?
Berberine is a natural compound extracted from plants like barberry. It’s been used in traditional medicine for centuries — and today, science is catching up.
Here’s how it works:
🔬 Berberine activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) – an enzyme often called the body’s “metabolic master switch.” This helps your body use energy more efficiently, improving metabolism at the cellular level.
🩸 It improves insulin sensitivity – which helps your body regulate blood sugar more effectively and reduce fat storage.
💊 It supports healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, helping balance your cardiovascular system while supporting weight management.
And the best part? It’s non-stimulant, so no jitters or crashes! I honestly don’t notice any changes except that my pants don’t fit anymore.
Other weight loss options
A lot of my patients are seeing a ton of success using ozempic and other weight loss drugs. To be honest, I wasn’t comfortable moving in that direction. While I wasn’t happy with my weight, I wasn’t at the point where I wanted to take on any of the risk of any of those newer drugs… some of the side effects scare me. I’d never tried any supplement or drug for my weight, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the quick and effective results from berberine. My wife has seen benefits as well, though I don’t think she really wants me talking about her weight with all my clients 😂
