𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗡 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚! 👏👏

There will be a void at the Gahanna office starting this January when registered dietitian Robbin McSurley retires after almost 37 years at CONCI. So very well-liked and respected by both patients and staff, Robbin was passionate about helping patients and would go above and beyond to make a difference. Whether she was seeing a patient individually, teaching a class, or leading a support group, they responded positively to what she had to offer. Robbin is more than a dietitian. She is an educator, motivator, and a great listener. She stressed the importance of accountability and had many patients continue to see her for years after reaching their goal weight. The photo above is of Robbin (right) and Mary Z. (left), a maintenance patient who has come to the clinic for 35 years! Mary hasn’t been just an occasional patient, but a committed one for all those years, all because of the support and education she could count on getting from Robbin and the staff. Mary strongly feels that the education, support, and on-going access to a registered dietitian are what make CONCI stand apart from other weight loss programs. For close to 37 years Robbin worked hard and helped many. She has been a devoted employee, a blessing to her patients, and an asset to CONCI. We wish her all the best, and she will be greatly missed.

Along with cold temperatures, winter brings low humidity levels, both outdoors and indoors. Low humidity can contribute to hair and skin feeling overly dry or dehydrated. GLP-1 medications can also cause dehydration, which can be problematic especially for older patients if they are not paying attention to their fluid intake. Fruits and vegetables contribute to the total fluid we consume, but what we drink contributes the most. When appetite is suppressed, so too is the amount of fluids a person is consuming. To avoid becoming dehydrated during the dry winter months, be aware of the amount of fluid you are drinking. Your weight is an important factor in determining how much fluid you need daily. A general rule of thumb is to take half your body weight and drink that amount in ounces of water daily. An easy way to know whether you are getting adequate fluid is to look at your urine. If it is dark yellow, you aren’t drinking enough.

The staff at CONCI want to wish you and your family a safe and happy New Year! 🎉🥳

Beginning in her mid-20’s, Amy experienced a gradual weight gain. In July 2024, she was diagnosed with a cardiac issue and was put on medication that caused extreme fatigue. Her ability to exercise deteriorated. Amy gained 60 pounds in a short period of time and developed joint pain which further interfered with her ability to be active. Bloodwork also indicated that Amy was pre-diabetic.

After being able to stop the medication, it was time to get the weight off to improve her quality of life, improve her health, and get back to being active, specifically showing dogs, which she has loved for years. Referred to CONCI by her doctor, Amy was very comfortable with a meal replacement diet. She liked the fact that the program is tailored to each patient. She liked the personal touch. Being medically monitored during her weight loss was reassuring to her.

Amy approached her weight loss differently than most patients. She wanted to focus on how she was feeling rather than a number on a scale. For this reason, she asked the staff to tell her what she weighed only once each month rather than weekly. After 4 months, the 60 pounds she had gained were gone! In the meantime, the pain in her joints diminished, her energy levels improved, and she gained back the ability to be more active while also enjoying it!

After reaching her original goal a few months ago, Amy set a new goal of losing a total of 120 pounds. Her weight loss in the last 7 months was 93 pounds. She is no longer pre-diabetic, is able to compete with her dogs again, and she is back to enjoying that part of her life.

Slightly more than 11% of the US population has diabetes. Nearly 40% of Americans have pre-diabetes, many of whom are unaware they have the problem, so about half of the American population has either diabetes or prediabetes…that’s 1 out of every 2 people! Diabetes and pre-diabetes are major risk factors for other chronic conditions and complications that can lead to deteriorating health.

A major risk factor for both diabetes and pre-diabetes is obesity. Weight loss is a key treatment for diabetes and can be achieved through proper diet, exercise, and medication or surgery when indicated. Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can improve blood sugar. More significant weight loss, especially shortly after diagnosis, may sometimes lead to the remission of Type 2 diabetes. CONCI is here to help you lose weight. Most importantly, we are here to help you improve your health, especially if you are diabetic!

A topic receiving a lot of attention at this year’s Obesity Week was the importance of adequate protein intake in combination with resistance training in those using GLP-1 medications. Practitioners were encouraged to promote resistance training to their patients in order to build muscle mass. Adding protein to the diet is not enough. Adding more protein to the diet will be ineffective for increasing muscle mass on its own. Strength training must complement a higher protein intake in order to help build muscle.

Mary Z. began her weight loss journey at CONCI with her husband 35 years ago. Although she initially lost the weight she wanted to all those years ago, she has appreciated the fact that she can return to CONCI anytime to get the help she needs when some pounds creep back. While she eats mindfully and exercises regularly, Mary knows that accountability, support, and education all come into play to be successful long-term. That is what she feels makes CONCI stand apart from other weight loss programs. Mary has taken advantage of all the classes and support groups that CONCI has offered through the years, and she makes sure that every visit to the clinic includes time with a registered dietitian.

The benefits of her weight loss have been many. When she first came to the clinic 35 years ago, her A1C was 7.1. Since losing weight, eating better, and exercising, her A1C has never been higher than 5.8! Her energy level is so much better. She can walk farther and faster. Feeling and looking better has boosted her self-confidence. As for Mary’s maintenance plan, she follows a carbohydrate-controlled food plan and uses Numetra® meal replacement products at times for calorie control.
