I am blown away with the results I am getting on this program. I have struggled with my weight for a long time and tried many different things. I feel great and it truly by far has been the easiest program I have ever followed. Dr. Francis' staff is helpful. He and his wife do weekly online talk sessions that are very insightful and helpful - not just run of the mill stuff. I highly recommend this practice and their program to get your body healthy , from the inside out.

I am 68 years old and is just in day twelve of my program with Dr. Francis and already I have lost 12 lbs. I began the program weighing 282lbs and I have no doubt that I will reach my target weight of 220lbs. This program is not a diet but a nutritional life change that is easy to follow with excellent instructions to help you get through the rough periods. When I take my morning walks now I no longer have to stop and catch my breath before I get to the end of the block, and I can tie my shoes without my belly fat getting in the way and taking my breath. I am excited about my physical well being now and look forward to getting back into shape, and back to my size 32 waistline..If you truly want to change the direction of you weight gain and live an abundant life by taking care of your body, I recommend this program for you.

IT WORKS, REALLY!!! I was very skeptical when he first opened but had tried everything else out there. I was able to lose weight w/o exercise and able to keep it off for over 2 years even when I totally dropped the plan. Now that my husband is doing the plan, I'm back on and losing weight again w/o any additional exercise! Tara Weil

For the past two years, I have viewed Dr. Francis'...

For the past two years, I have viewed Dr. Francis' television commercial and a few times, heard his radio ad. The many and various personal achievement stories seemed unbelievable and my thoughts rested with the impossibility of losing one pound per day.
I was wrong.
My husband and I discussed this likely endeavor after gaining weight following my father's death and years of not losing weight after birthing my last child. I knew that I had to lose 30 pounds after learning at the gym that my BMI was extremely high and I was continuing to gain weight even though I was eating healthy, counting calories, and regularly exercising.
I made the call and got a no cost consultation appointment within a few days. The office atmosphere was inviting and calm, with welcoming, friendly and reassuring staff members. I was skeptical and prepared for "hocus pocus."
The consultation procedure was highly organized and simple to comprehend. I included my husband in the appointment, so he would know the program, too. Everything made complete sense! Dr. Francis is quite personable, extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about his life's work. I felt comfortable and eager to engage in his program, which he uniquely designs for individual bodies.
I immediately signed up for his program after a private discussion with my husband.
I have been on the program for 6 days and lost 9.8 lbs. I highly recommend Integrative Health Center. This is not only about losing weight, it's about sculpting your body, rejuvenating your soul, and invigorating your mind.
Try it, you'll like it, because it really works!

My visit to Integrative Health Center was very enjoyable. They have a very welcoming atmosphere as you enter the office and you are greeted by friendly, smiling staff at the front desk. I was seen at my appointment time, all was organized, and all staff were upbeat and informative. I felt welcomed, accecpted, and was given empowerment to start my journey with their program. I am looking forward to this journey and the great things that the staff at Integrative Health Center is helping me to accomplish. I would highly recommend the Integrative Health Center for those who feel like they have tried everything, have been on the yo-yo path of losing and gaining weight, and are ready to just give up on the weight loss process. Give it a try!

I just started Dr. Francis's program on the18th of October today is 26th of October and I must say that it really works! My weight was 260 pounds on the 18th and now I weigh 245 pounds and it's only been 8 days. I have not done any workout routines at all!! The only thing that I have done is I follow the plan custom made for me to the T!!! As I go through the program I will continue to make additions to this post! Also attach pictures!

I began the program with my free consultation on 2/23/2018 and I have been participating 100% with fantastic results so far and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in the program that came into my life at the right time for my health and family. I am excited about the future and to meet my goal weight. The plan works and if you are skeptical I say check them out and see what they offer. It could change your life if you struggle with weight either needing to gain a few or lose a significant amount. These people are genuine and qualified in the health care field so thank you for reading and check them out if you think you need to please.

My experience at Integrative Health Center of Charlottesville has been nothing short of life-changing. The staff made me feel very welcome and at ease.
They are very knowledgeable and were able to dial in my customized program to help me lose 60 pounds in 13-14 weeks.
This weight loss has resulted in bringing my cholesterol, blood pressure and A1c all into normal ranges! My energy and overall mood has greatly improved as well. Thank you IHC!!!
I highly recommend Integrative Health Center Charlottesville to anyone!
Give them a try! You will not be disappointed!

I was very skeptical going in to this program, as I have lived my entire life never eating green vegetables and eating an obscene amount of sugar and carbohydrates. The staff took their time with my husband and I, answering all of our questions and concerns. Dr. Francis' wife, Wendi, spent time encouraging me and assuring that I did have the self discipline and ability to succeed in this program. I am 30 days in, 20 lbs down (my husband is also 20 lbs down), and I am so excited about the lifestyle changes I've made. Not only for myself, but setting an example of how to eat healthy for my 2 children.

I HIGHLY recommend this program!!

I'm on Day 20 of the diet and couldn't be more pleased! Dr. Francis and his team have been supportive and kind. Walking into the office for the 1st time I was apprehensive. I soon learned that his team members had also come in needing to lose weight and had been successful in losing a similar, or higher amount, of weight and keeping it off! This made me feel like they were walking along side me on this weight loss journey. I'm seeing results which makes me want to work even harder.

I am early into the program and am very pleased thus far. From the onset, Dr Francis and Wendy have been very informative and open to my many questions. They and their staff are warm and caring and have been available and accessible. They have given me much educational material, a notebook that breaks my day down to bite-size easily understood segments so there is little room for error. Most importantly, they are my support system. For the first time in a long time, I have hope.

Integrative Health has changed my life! I tried a ton of other ways to lose weight and nothing worked. I kept seeing the commercials and thought these can t be real people. 2 years later I am one of those people-I lost 170 lbs and it s staying off! Their compassion and customer service are second to none! They did EVERYTHING they said they would do! They are genuinely happy for your success and there to walk beside you if you trip and fall. Highly recommend!!!!

I do business with lots of different people and organizations, and being an entrepreneur myself, I'm super picky about the kind of customer experience I deliver myself and receive as a customer. I have been beyond impressed with Dr. Francis and his team. The words that came to mind first, are "Class Act," but that doesn't do my feelings justice. He and his team are super friendly, I can tell they truly care about us and about helping people, they're efficient and professional, and they use video and technology to enhance the overall customer experience to a great degree. I've also seen them go way beyond the normal "call of duty" in terms of speediness and helpfulness, with their customer service and support when I've had questions. They send follow-up emails that have been very helpful and inspiring. All of this is unique, from my experience, and much appreciated. Seldom have I done business with a company and a team that operates at such a high level. I recommend them highly.

I have been on Dr.Francis' program for six days and have already lost 8 pounds! The team at Integrative Health makes it very easy for you as everything is spelled out in a book customized just for you. In addition, everything is explained via video and in person before you get started. They also offer podcasts and live conference calls for additional information/help. You are not alone on this weight loss plan. Even when you finish your weight loss goal they help you keep it off for two months thereafter. I highly recommend Dr. Francis' weight loss program.

Not affordable! I honestly wanted to see what the program was all about, so I scheduled an appointment on my day off from school. I went in and watched a 12 minute video about how I could lose 1lb a day, but when the woman came in she wrote me up a plan to lose 30 lbs in 3 months and spend $2,000 to do so. 3months on normal diet and exercise will generate the same results, so I would ve basically paid $4,000 just to reach my goal. This program is not about helping people unfortunately it s about making money. They offer you water and supplements. NOTHING that is worth $2000 and they won t sell you the supplements unless you pay for the program and some of them you STILL have to buy from them after you ve signed up for the program, so i would definitely just recommend diet and exercise over this scam. Because if it really was losing a lb a day then after 3 months I would ve lose 90 lbs and not 30. Scam scam scam scam scam scam.

I came to Integrative Health both skeptical and desperate as the many diet plans I have tried all failed miserably. This program is very different. Since I've started my acid reflux has disappeared, I feel healthy and energetic and empowered. The staff is friendly and supportive. I should reach my weight goal shortly which I doubted would ever happen. Very happy and highly recommend to others.

I have been in several weight loss programs over the years. Integrative Health Center of Charlottesville, VA has been the best program for me. If you follow the plan, you will succeed and meet your weight loss goal. I really appreciate the monthly consultation with the personal nutritionist which helps you understand the program and keeps you on track during your weight loss journey. A big thanks to Integrative Health for all their help this far as I continue to work toward my goal.

I am new to the weight loss scene, never having to be concerned about that area of my life. However, as age crept up on me, so did the extra pounds. At 51 years old I found myself 35 pounds overweight. That's when I heard about Dr. Francis and his nutritional approach to weight loss. I am amazed at how clearly laid out the plan is and how easy it has been to follow. Dr. Francis is readily available to answer any questions so I never feel like I'm on my own. I have lost 12 pounds in my first 2 weeks and feel great! I am watching the weight literally melt away, and I'm doing it in a way that will help me keep it off. I am never hungry and I feel much better. I recommend Dr. Francis' and his nutritional weight loss program wholeheartedly!

I started this program as just another diet program. Everyone in the office is so nice and they are very supportive and rally to cheer for your success. I am not great at drinking water in general. That has been my biggest struggle. I am down some weight but the team continues to cheer for me and I am continuing to work towards my goal even though I did not meet them in the time I was hoping.

I have up to 300lbs+ over the years, via diet and exercise plans that always fizzled out over weeks and months, ending in binge eating, and never feeling satisfied.

Started May, 2020 at 128.9kg, and down 23.9 kg (52.69 lbs) as of this morning.

I am so proud of you and Kirk, not only for who you are as people, but for what you are doing. You are offering a lifebuoy to people who feel lost at sea. In the end, each individual must reach for that lifebuoy on their own, and I thank you for having it ready for me to grab.

Love you!

I met Dr Charles Francis at his clinic, I have been trying to lose weight for the past few years. ImI 65 and go up and down with my weight. I went on his program and at 17 days I lost 22lbs I stuck with it and reached my goal of 30lbs at about 27 days and im not talking about water weight or muscle I mean fat cells. My matabolisim is like when I was young. My arthritis inflammation is 100% better. It was the easiest and best program iveIever tried. I have been off the program for about 2 months and keeping the weight off and feeling better than I have in 20 years. If you want a life-changing experience go to the clinic and join you will never be happier.
Thank You Dr. Francis and his wonderful staff that make you feel like family every time you go in.

I took a year to make the decision to begin my program with Dr. Francis. The decision was made for me when at my annual physical this year I was given instructions on how to overcome obesity. Ouch! I now regret waiting so long before taking action to control my nutrition and weight. I have only begun the process - three weeks into it. I am not even really at the stage when I should begin to see the weight loss. However, I have lost 20 pounds! This past Saturday, when I did my daily weight check, I had lost 3 pounds over night! I now understand the importance of this program. Over my adult life I have taken care of my teeth - I had braces to correct my smile and implants to replace broken teeth. I go to annual wellness checkups and get the flu shots. I thought I was taking good care of myself. But I have been resistant to going to get real help with my weight. I finally toke the next step to get help. All I can say at this point is that I am very grateful for the service Dr. Francis and his crew offer.

For some reason, Google is calling me Judy Green, but I am Chris Meade. I don't have a Google account so that may be why. I was very skeptical about Dr. Francis' program, but finally decided to go for the consultation after seeing the TV ads for about 6 months. Everyone is so very supportive and I have learned so much about metabolism and how my body works. I am losing weight that I have not been able to lose after trying many diets. I am not obese---just heavier than I should be or like to be. It is coming off finally!! I am not hungry and enjoy the daily check off list that keeps me going. The daily emails help too. Thanks so much.

This has changed my life! The staff are great. You will need to commit to the process and keep in touch with them. Others that are on the plan will help you as well. These people have helped me every step of the way. I m on month 3 and already down 40 pounds. This place will get you well and more healthy. My husband has been eating my same foods and he has dropped 20 units of insulin a day. My son has lost 20 pounds. We are all eating according to my plan and we are all getting more healthy. This is a lifestyle change. And if you didn t need to change your lifestyle, you wouldn t be overweight. I call all the time. I speak to Crystal and Indie so much I feel like we are good friends, they are wonderful. I email with all my questions and they promptly reply. Your body will adjust to the plan. Getting rid of toxins, sugar addiction and caffeine addiction is hard and you feel bad while getting your body under control, but it does get better and you then start to feel great, your acid reflux goes away, your allergies get better, your joints don t hurt as much. They have changed my life and I know I ll have help to the end! This plan saved my life!

The Integrative Health Center (IHC) operated by Dr Charles Francis, DC is a highly professional, health-oriented Center designed to assist individuals achieve weight loss in a self-directed , medically-defined program. Weight loss goals are carefully laid out in person with Dr. Francis, and are composed of nutritionally sound food plans in easy-to-follow outlined menus.

Real food is prescribed. This approach causes hunger to disappear and removes the usual 'diet' difficulties that cause failure. Steady weight loss is an amazing motivator and source of self-esteem. Both Dr. Francis and his wife, a certified nutritionist are on hand to support clients. The staff are real-life mentors and program graduates. You work on the program at home--no meetings-- but the team is available for help if you need it. I especially like that.

Most of us have dieted over and over throughout our lives. Many of us have medical problems resulting from excess weight. We come to IHC
cynical, despondent, and 'wait to see' if it really works. We are so surprised from the start that it is easy and successful. We stay with it and the success keeps on! I lost the weight I wanted and have kept it off for nearly 8 months. I follow the core of the food plan now, but eat mostly what I choose and of course, more, than on the weight loss plan, now.

I feel great, look great, and am so so proud of myself. I let everyone know about this program - it is a real route to success and health - not just some baseless 'seen on tv' program. It is for everyone--men, women, young and old. It is the successful weight loss approach of the future!

Dr. Francis' weight loss program emphasizes healthy, natural foods and a balanced nutrition program. I've had no difficulty sticking to the plan and the extra pounds have nearly melted off. Dr. Francis and his wife Wendi provide outstanding guidance and support along the way with weekly teleconferences and technology-assisted coaching sessions. Both are incredibly responsive to questions and concerns. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking better health through sustainable lifestyle change.
