Weight loss is a personal journey that is about more than just food. It’s about developing a healthy self esteem and mastering positive life skills.

We at Chrysalis understand and can help. We offer a comprehensive diet program that combines a tasty and nutritious eating plan with proper exercise and personal coaching so you can change from the inside out – just like the beautiful butterfly.

We identify and change the behaviors that contributed to the obesity in the first place. Accountability and behavioral coaching are the most effective tools in permanent weight loss and are therefore the cornerstones of our program.

We help you examine the elements of your lifestyle that is endangering your good health. You can’t change what you can’t see. The new skills and habits you will establish with us will help you successfully manage your weight in the future. Immediate weight loss is a by-product of this program, but permanent weight loss is the real goal.

Through this blog, we will help you along this journey toward optimal health. So please check back often as we post relevant articles, insights, health tips and much more!

Over the past year, I’ve shifted my career from being an OB/GYN to addressing the epidemic of obesity. It has been a wonderful year, I’ve learned a lot and I realize that I am very good at helping people return to good health. In 2009, I am determined to help as many people as I can reach and what I’ve learned is to do that, I must learn to speak professionally. The thought scares me and I’m not one who is easily frightened.

You see, I’m a board certified OB/GYN and I love what I’ve done these past 18 years. There is no greater miracle than to deliver a baby, be the first to touch a new human being and then present that miracle into the arms of people who will love him or her for life. Each time, I’m blessed.

As wonderful as it is to be a part of such a miracle, I have found a new passion. I’ve fallen in love with helping adults get their lives back.

When a person is very overweight, their life is limited. It is limited because of illness or disability. It is limited because they aren’t physically able to do the things they would love to do. It is limited because when they look in the mirror they often don’t like what they see.

By helping people lose weight and find a healthy way to live, they regain and reclaim their life. And I find that rewarding. A blessing. Its own miracle.

So, here I am, looking at how to do this foreign thing….become a public speaker. And I’m turning to an expert, Dave Lakhani, to help propel me to a place where I can touch more people’s lives, make a bigger impact in defeating the enormous epidemic of obesity in our country.

Please wish me well,

Dr. Jo Lynn
