What Our Clients Are Saying

"I am so glad I made the commitment to take Dr. PLacone's Rewire the Desire weightless and weight management program. I have struggled with food obsession, weight issues, and compulsive overeating since high school. I have been on so many diets I finally understand that they just don't work!
Since completing this class I have slowly been loosing weight, but more importantly, I am free from food thoughts and  eating behavior that kept the weight on. I can't recommend this class highly enough!"        Karen, 2015
