Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

There's no diet like a "good" heartbreak: 140.3 pounds.
My appetite has plummeted lately. I saw that my ex bf has moved on and looks happy with this UGLY woman... I wasted almost 8 years of my life with that man. To make matters worse, then I looked at the mirror and I though "What have I done to myself?!" First, I cried, now I am just angry...
The silver lining of it all is that I am losing weight and getting very close to having a normal weight again.

Pet peeve.
Am I the only one who is annoyed by reviews that have no photos? What is the purpose of publishing them if we cannot see the results? If you are that happy/unhappy about your results that you feel you have to post a review, why not spend the extra minutes uploading a couple of photos?
If a review does not have the photos of, at least, the results I dismiss them as being fake. That goes both for the positive and negatives reviews.

Hemo.
There is an issue many reviewers often encounter: low hemoglobin. As you all may know, having low hemo can affect greatly the recovery time and, in extreme cases, endanger one's life. Women also seem to be more susceptible to anemia, than men. Unless, you have a condition that prevents your body from absorbing iron through either supplements or food, it is fairly easy to have high hemo. There are also a few things that can influence the hemo values, like the female menstrual period, stress and some types of medicines.
I am not a very health conscious person regarding what I eat. However I do prefer to buy organic produce because it is proven to have a higher content of vitamins and other essential nutrients than GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). I eat a lot of fruit and meat. I still indulge on some cookies here and there, and I LOVE carbs very much, too much really. I rotate the types of fruits and produce I buy weekly, so I don't get bored and tired with them. I find that works the best, for me. Since I am also an "emotional eater" I have stopped buying comfort food altogether. I still have some treats, but I don't have them at home readily available.
Anyway, my "trick" to have a good hemo is: consume, at least, 2 servings per day of dark leafy greens like collard greens, spinach, spring mix, kale, etc. I usually have them either on salads, soups and/or juice/smoothies. I eat about 40 g of nuts a day, usually walnuts, because they are my fave :) I also have red meat about 2 days a week, since it is an excellent source of iron.
Another important aspect of increasing your hemo levels, if you are not able to do so solely by diet, is through supplements. Unfortunately, not all supplements are made alike. Research and scientific studies have shown that the body absorbs ferrous iron better than ferric iron. So, when you buy your supplements, make sure you are taking ferrous iron. It is also recommended that you should take your iron supplement with orange juice to maximize the absorption of iron. I usually just eat one before taking the supplement.

Dr. FG is extremely knowledgeable and professional. His initial diagnosis was thorough and explained in a way patients with no medical training or education can understand very easily. His English is also flawless, which is a major plus for all international patients. I am very pleased to have him as my Dr., since I believe he will give me the results I am looking for while keeping me safe.
