Debban Outcomes Report
(July 1 – October 31)
At Debban Wellness, we don’t want to be the clinic that just “talks a good game.” We want to be the clinic that can show the work.
This is our first public Outcomes Report. It’s a look at what actually changed for patients who worked the Take it Back method consistently.
What this report includes
This report summarizes de-identified, group-level outcomes from adults actively engaged in care with:
• at least two visits in the 4 month time frame (or one visit + documented follow-up plan)
• at least one set of labs (when clinically appropriate)
• weight, blood pressure, and/or InBody measurements when available
N (patients included): 214
Location: Kearney, Nebraska (in-clinic), plus a small virtual cohort

The Snapshot
Body weight trend
Among patients actively working weight management:
• Average weight change over 3-4 months: -9.8 lb
• Patients losing at least 5% of body weight: 41%
What we like about this: we didn’t chase the scale alone. The goal is fat loss while protecting muscle. Many of our patients during this time had already lost the bulk of their weight and our goal was better body composition
Body composition (InBody measurement)
Among patients with repeat InBody scans
• Average body fat % change: -2.1%
• Average skeletal muscle change: +0.1 lb
• Patients who maintained or gained muscle while losing weight: 63%
This matters. We’re focused on building a body you can keep.
⸻
Metabolic Markers
A1c (blood sugar control)
Among patients with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and repeat A1c:
• Average A1c change: -0.7%
• Patients who reduced A1c by at least 0.5%: 57%
Blood pressure
Among patients with elevated BP or diagnosed hypertension and repeat readings
• Average systolic change: -8 mmHg
• Average diastolic change: -5 mmHg
⸻
Hormone Optimization and Sexual Health
Men on testosterone therapy (clinically appropriate)
Among men receiving testosterone therapy with repeat labs in-range and follow-up:
• Therapeutic range achieved without overcorrection: 89%
• Hematocrit monitored appropriately (per protocol): 100%
• Dose changes required after stabilization: 21%
Our stance is simple: we treat symptoms, we treat safely, and we monitor like professionals.
Women receiving hormone support (per individualized plan)
Among women receiving hormone optimization with follow-up:
• Patients reporting improved energy and motivation at follow-up: frequently reported
• Patients requiring dose adjustments: common and expected
Hormones are not “one-and-done.” They’re a dial, not a switch.
⸻
Adherence and Follow-Through:
This part matters because it explains why some people crush it and others stall.
Across all programs:
• Patients who completed their recommended labs on time: 84%
• Patients who completed their follow-up visit within the recommended window: 87%
The biggest predictor of success wasn’t “willpower.” It was follow-through and a plan that actually fits real life.
⸻
Three Real Patterns We Saw
1) Micro-adjustments beat dramatic changes
Most people didn’t need a complete lifestyle overhaul. They needed:
• a consistent nutritional target
• a realistic medication plan
• gentle changes
2) Medications help, but they don’t replace the method
The best outcomes happened when medication was paired with:
• appetite strategy
• muscle protection
• lab-guided adjustments
• accountability
3) Gut issues are often a hidden handbrake
In patients with stubborn bloating, fatigue, reflux, constipation
• gut testing and a structured protocol frequently unlocked progress
We’ll be reporting more on this as our functional cohort grows.
⸻
What we’re adding next time we release data
We’re building an even more honest dashboard
Starting soon, we will begin tracking:
• standardized symptom check-ins at baseline and follow-up
• a “time to momentum” metric (how long it takes to feel early wins)
Because the point isn’t just “better labs.” The point is a better life.
⸻
Transparency
• This report is not a clinical study.
• It’s real clinic data, aggregated as best I could and de-identified.
• Not every patient has every metric (some people skip InBody, some don’t repeat labs in the window, etc.).
• Individual results vary based on health history, adherence, and program intensity.
