This review is long over due. I originally came to Dr. Tobin to combat weight gain and fatigue. I was literally in her office in tears over the frustration I was experiencing with my body. For over a year I had been hitting the gym 5 days a week, eating ridiculously healthy, doing yoga, kick boxing -- you name it -- I showed some improvements but then continued to gain weight. I knew I had to do something. I'm a believer in alternative/natural medicine but had never actually been to see a holistic doctor before. After numerous calls to different natural health professionals around Orange and L.A. counties, I found Dr. Tobin. She put me on a three month treatment plan that worked with my budget. I don't want this review to drag on for too long, so to cut it short, within the first month I had lost ten pounds and am now down nearly twenty! My energy is back and, as cliche as it sounds, I feel better than I have in years. I still work out, I still eat healthy, but I know I would never have accomplished this on my own and I know that the our current medical system would have treated only the symptoms, not the cause. After the Holidays (where I was obviously not able to hit the gym or eat in the best manner) I didn't gain a pound back! Before Dr. Tobin, months of working out to lose a few pounds would have been put back on after one unhealthy meal. If you are thinking about trying alternative medicine and the concepts are new to you, I advise you go in with an open mind. You don't have to believe that it will work, just please don't believe that it won't. Don't knock it til you try it. So many people are astonished by my transformation -- ALL of the people who ridiculed me for trying acupuncture and Eastern medicine swearing that it was a scam or placebo have changed their tune. I'm proud of my decision and I know you will be too!
