30 years in, Medical Weight Loss Clinic pro tells us what’s changed and what hasn’t when it comes to losing weight

This summer we’re celebrating one of our own. Medical Weight Loss Clinic Senior Manager Jeannine Thompson has been with our Michigan-based business for 30 years. And in that time, she’s seen plenty of changes in healthy lifestyles and ways to lose extra weight.

Celebrating 30 years with Medical Weight Loss Clinic, Jeannine Thompson, senior manager in our Clinton Township location, has seen the fad diets come and go. She’s here when patients are ready to find a healthier way to live.

Jeannine came to Medical Weight Loss Clinic in 1992 after she lost some weight on her own and became eager to help others lead a healthier life too. She started as an assistant manager and moved up to manage our clinic in Clinton Township after her first year.

“I jumped at the chance and am very proud to say I am still the manager and have the greatest staff!” she says.

Jeannine tells us that working for Medical Weight Loss Clinic has always felt like being part of a family – and that family has grown bigger and better over the years.

“I love the feeling when I leave for the day, that I actually helped someone change their life for the better!” Jeannine says.

And she’s seen so many fad diets come and go over the decades. At best, they might provide a temporary fix but, she says, none worked over the long-term or were actually healthy. Jeannine recalls fads like The Soup Diet, No Carb diets and even Starvation diets. None of them really took hold – for a reason.

Meanwhile, Medical Weight Loss Clinic has and still continues to provide the tried-and-true programs that help patients lead a healthier life. And our programs have evolved to suit our patients’ needs, too.

“From our prescription therapy plan to a more liquid plan and just everyday foods that everyone can work with, ours is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!” Jeannine says.

Staying motivated to make healthier choices is still a challenge for those looking to lose weight. Patients who seek out Medical Weight Loss Clinic have an advantage – they have personalized support on their side.

“Eating healthy is a commitment and sometimes it’s hard to keep people motivated, but my staff is amazing,” says Jeannine. “We find little ways every day to make this a fun, motivating atmosphere! Also maintaining a healthy weight is a challenge. It’s the beginning of the rest of your healthy life, really.” 

Jeannine says 30 years in and she still loves her work. She is just as passionate about helping her patients make those life-altering positive changes. And it’s clear with one visit to see her and the staff at our Clinton Township location.

“My staff and I work and get along so well together - and that carries through to our patients! We treat them like family.”

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.
