Sending a BIG SHOUT to Giulietta for being an excellent Coach doing my weight loss journey. I started the 10 week program in February and I'm down 38 pounds. Her check-in is awesome and motivating for you to keep going to hit your goal. I can't wait to see my final result and will keep everyone posted.

Nov 2021: Dr. Thakkar ordered blood work at an independent lab to check my vitamin and hormone levels and then introduced me to the HCG protocol during the free consultation. I researched it and found a lot of benefits that convinced me to try it (I no longer have hypertension or shortness of breath, and my metabolism is higher now). I was also very happy that Dr. Thakkar provides vitamin, enzyme and probiotic supplements along with the HCG. My research led me to 2 books that I found VERY helpful: Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity by A.T.W. Simeons, M. D. and Weight-Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the HCG Protocol by Robin Phipps Woodall. I ended up doing the HCG program along with an appetite suppressant for 6 weeks, then a 3 week transition period back to a healthy diet, during which I continued to lose weight at a slower period. From Nov 8-Dec 19, 2021 (using HCG), I lost 31.2 lbs. From Dec 20-Jan 9, 2022 (transition period), I lost 10.2 lbs. As of today, Jan 25 2022, I have maintained that weight loss with no more than 3 lbs of fluctuation. I lost 6.1% fat mass, while maintaining my muscle and water mass, according to my body scale. I am very happy with my results and experience and am planning to do the Lifestyle program (this is how I decided to maintain my weight with the doctor’s supervision, I didn’t want to go off on my own yet) until spring, when I would like to do one more round of HCG protocol. It costs a fair amount of money, but nowhere near the amount of money, time, and energy it costs me to be sick and overweight. If you are serious about making changes, I recommend Dr. Thakkar’s business wholeheartedly. I wish my general practitioner and cardiologist would get on board with weight loss as a disease preventative. Update Sep 2022: I completed the Lifestyle program in May 2022, losing a total of about 17 lbs, and have been able to maintain the weight loss.

Seeing Dr Thakkar for my weight and thyroid issues is absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made! I have had great results and been able to maintain my weight loss. I lost about 30 lbs in just 2.5 months! Don’t hesitate to contact the clinic, the staff is wonderful. I truly recommend Chicago Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic!

I have had a great experience with this office! Everyone there goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I know weight loss can be such a challenge already. They give you every tool to succeed long term. The support is amazing. Joan, Irene and Barb are always helpful, just to name a few! The Doctor is always ready to answer any additional questions, and is very involved in the patients' care. I definitely recommend the Chicago Weight loss and Wellness Clinic! It's like being apart of an extended family!!

Last year I came to this fantastic place and started my weight loss. Today after a year, I am 70 pounds less. I have to thank Dr. Thakkar, his whole team, an excellent program with detoxification, hormone palettes, nutrition and much more. All praise goes to the person who went through the most difficult period in losing weight with me and helped me a lot. I wouldn't have succeeded without her. Her name is Giulietta Levi, my coach. Giulietta is a wonderful person, full of knowledge and full of patience. She had a lot of patience for me and when I wanted to give up she stood by me, encouraged me and made me keep going. She always answered every question I had, and there were a million of them, at any time of the day. She is very professional, excellent at her job, kind and always smiling. I would recommend this clinic and the best coach Giulietta who is always there for you for everything you need! Thank you so much ❤️

Started my journey on October 20, 2023. If you would have told me that in six months I would be down 60 pounds, I would have laughed at you. Six months later, following Dr. Thakker, his and program, I am down 60 pounds!!! I am healthier, have more energy, am making better food choices and overall enjoying life. Thank you Dr. Thakker, Barb and Julie for ALL you have done to make me a better version of myself!!!

This place is amazing, I have lost a lot of weight, I love it . I didn’t know it was so easy to lose weight until they helped me. All staff is very friendly but most important very knowledgeable and helpful.

A year ago I had my first appt with Dr. Thakkar. He explained the program and I immediately signed up. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months and have maintained the weight loss as a result of the information provided through the program. They maintain support for you as requested and are always there for you. He and his staff did more for me in a few months than my general practitioner did in years.

I have really loved working with Dr. Thakkar and his team. I have lost about 20lbs so far and they have been enormously supportive! I am encouraging my friends and colleagues at work to go in for the free consultation.

For anyone that has been struggling with weight loss this is the place. It is not easy, it is not a magic trick - it is work and dedication. If you are serious about changing your life the people working here will guide you to success. I for years struggled with weight and constant diet that did more harm than good to my body and my self-esteem. I finally broke down and had a serious conversation with Joan about my problem. And this is what I like the most about this place, they do not look at your overweight body and push different treatments but they look at you as a whole person and try to find out underlying cause of the constant weight gain and inability to shake it off. From food sensitivity to thyroid disorders - you will find out what was holding you back and what is more important, how to fix it. The HCG treatment is a time commitment but it is well worth it. I lost 25lbs of FAT in 6 weeks! Today I am at week 5 of maintenance and did not gain anything back. Keep your fingers crossed for me and I will for you!

10/10 recommend! This place is fantastic, supportive, consistent, on top of it, and the key to my success - in large part thanks to Giulietta. Giulietta has been all the village I need in my journey - she's been 110% supportive all the way through, encouraging, a cheerleader, and always communicative. Dr. Thakkar's program works, and it's Giulietta who helps facilitate each of the patients' success, including mine (50 lbs in 3 months). She's incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to helping all of her patients. More than that, I have great confidence in her - so when I first went to sign up, she gave me all the info I needed, without holding back, and helped me make an informed decision about the best path for me. I am deeply appreciative and so glad I found this program.

This place is amazing. Finally I found professional clinic where Dr. Thakkar and his knowledgeable staff went through whole process with me and I loose 35lbs. I feel more confident and energetic now. Highly recommend.

Dr. Thakkar has been so helpful. I went in for weight loss help. My thyroid medication needed to be adjusted. My body had several ups and downs over the past several months with adjustments. Dr. Thakkar went out of his way to help and make sure I got the care I needed. His office staff is very helpful. It is a wonderful practice to be a patient at. I myself am a provider and I am impressed with their compassion.

The staff is incredible and Dr. Thakkar is the best. They definitely put the patient first. I’ve lost weight and have kept it off. Dr. Thakkar is also the first physician who heard my issues and found my thyroid was part of my issue.

Samantha and Barb are the best!! Very supportive, kind and professional. The HCG program helped me lose 32 pounds in two months. They discovered my thyroid was a bit hinky and helping me correct that too! I feel so much better!! Thank you ladies!!

I enjoy coming. It is very clean. The staff is really nice and encouraging. I started 3 months ago and have lost almost 30lbs. Trust the process, follow the plans and you will see the changes

I have been coming here for Vitamin B12 shots, and recently started a weight loss program as well. I have lost 12 pounds in my first 3 weeks on the Ideal Protein plan. The people that work with me are very nice and are great encouragers! I am looking forward to the next 20 lbs of weight loss, and then I will ENJOY shopping for my new wardrobe! Thank you Chicago Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic!

Giulietta is an amazing person. It is because of her that I decided to proceed with the program. She made me feel at ease and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond her scope of job description to always help out. I lost 23lb and found out out it was due to my hormones. I had to go to weight loss clinic in order for them to access my issues of weight gain. I am so happy that I did because I wouldn't have felt this amazing EVER!! You will not regret it. It is an investment in yourself and Giulietta made it happens. Thank you Giulietta for your awesome customer service skills.

I have had the most wonderful effective experience at Chicago Wellness Clinic. I was having a lot of difficulty with my thyroid numbers and my energy level. Dr. Thakkar provided a personalized plan of supplements and foods that would support my metabolism and feelings of well being. Malory was my support each week and I couldn't have done it without her knowledge, expertise and understanding. Gina also supported me along the way with scheduling, supplements and always a warm and welcoming smile for my at every visit! Chicago Weight Loss & Wellness Clinic has brought me from a self-conscious 65 year old woman to a very energetic, positive and self confident woman.

I am so happy I came to this weight loss clinic. I started my program back in December 8th. 2022, and I have lost 17lbs. as of March 30th. Giulietta has been amazing, she has explained any questions I have had. She also has been guiding me throughout the program. Giulietta’s professionalism and outstanding personality makes people feel very comfortable. I personally appreciate all of the support she has given me, thanks a million!
