This Father’s Day Medical Weight Loss Clinic celebrates healthy dads

Like many patients, when Dustin Angst decided to visit Medical Weight Loss Clinic for the first time, he was tired of being so tired.

“I was tired of not having any energy, and struggling to do basic everyday activities like playing with my son,” he said. Dustin lives in Elsie, Mich. with his husband Thomas and their son, 2-year-old Sawyer. 

In May 2020, Dustin Angst felt tired and battled anxiety. After joining Medical Weight Loss Clinic he finds it much easier to keep up with his son, Sawyer.

But finding the right support system proved to be the secret to Dustin’s own weight loss success. He started out on a journey to live healthier when his son was born in July 2018. He quit smoking and tried every diet he could find, but just wasn’t seeing weight loss results.

Then in July 2020, Dustin joined Medical Weight Loss Clinic – first visiting our Brighton location and after obtaining a new job, moving on to our Lansing clinic. His goal was straightforward - to get to a healthier weight so he could more thoroughly enjoy time with his husband and young son. 

Dustin admits he came to the program a bit skeptical. He was confident it might work – but had no idea how well, or how fast.

“I expected that I was probably going to lose weight, but I never expected to lose 57 pounds in only 21 weeks,” he says. “Each time I went to weigh in, it was a surprise. I couldn't believe how fast the weight was coming off. There were times when I wouldn't lose as much as the prior weeks, but the team was there to make sure I didn't let it discourage me.”

The difference was clear – the support system in place with Medical Weight Loss Clinic made it possible for Dustin to achieve his health goals.

“They are your biggest cheerleaders and they make you feel comfortable throughout the entire program,” says Dustin. “Even if you slip up and go off program, they don't make you feel guilty or feel bad, they help find out what led you to make the decision to go off program - and help you find ways within the program that will help get you back on track.”

By achieving his weight goals, Dustin finds he no longer needs to take medication for heartburn or anxiety. He went from feeling too drained to do much of anything to regaining energy to keep up with Sawyer. And this Father’s Day, we celebrate dads like Dustin, who work to be healthy for themselves, and their families.

Dustin will be spending this Father’s Day with his family and friends. They are planning a cookout and playing some family backyard games.

He called his experience with Medical Weight Loss Clinic a game changer.

“I didn't think I was ever going to have my old life back until I met the wonderful people of Medical Weight Loss Clinic,” Dustin shared. “Not only did they help me reach my goal of getting to a healthier weight, it helped me become healthier physically, emotionally, and mentally.

“I am so thankful for this program and all the people involved.”

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
