Camille Tirzah could practically live in the blue jeans she wore a little more than five years ago when she weighed 232 pounds.
But the Ocean Ridge resident lost the excess weight and kept it off. Her story was featured on the cover of People magazine, and now she's advising and encouraging others as a weight loss coach and certified nutrition specialist for Personal Physician Care, 4800 Linton Blvd.
Once a pre-diabetic patient herself, Tirzah is focusing on patients who are diabetic and are looking for weight management programs.
The success stories have been gratifying.
"One patient's endocrinologist has almost taken him off of his medications. He has been a diabetic for years, and in three months, he is experiencing an almost reversal of diabetic condition," Tirzah said. "It's doctor-supervised, individual-customized, not one-size-fits-all."
Tirzah focuses on body mass index and healthy eating.
"There are no quick fixes to losing weight," she said. "But over a very short amount of time, patients will feel the satisfaction of improved overall health, appearance and vitality."
Founded by Dr. David Neuman, Personal Physician Care is one of the largest primary care practices in Delray Beach, with seven doctors, two-dozen exam rooms, a doctor-supervised weight-loss program and an aesthetics center.
Tirzah and Personal Physician Care have recently partnered with Pharmanex, a nutritional and dietary supplement company, to bring the BioPhotonic Scanner and the LifePak Nano daily supplement package to the practice. Every weight loss patient is monitored via hand palm checks and given a Skin Carotenoid Score. The score quantifies antioxidant activity in the body.
The scanner gives patients a score of between 10,000 and 50,000 tissue carotenoid concentrations. The score is logged via a keychain card that accesses a computer program.
