Dr. Capasso and Kim/Thin Center,I just wanted to take a moment and express my appreciation for your help in putting me on a path to better health.

I saw Dr. Capasso in the fall because I was overweight, feeling sluggish, and wanting to find out my various blood readings, in an effort to figure out why I was having so much trouble addressing some of my problems, particularly my weight gain. He analyzed my blood results, prescribed specific vitamins to target areas of need, and then walked me over to the Thin Center. He told me that I needed to loose some weight in order to regain control of my health, and that as a Duval County school teacher, I was eligible for a discounted rate. I decided that day to begin my journey to health.

In December when I started, my cholesterol was very high, 283. Now, three months later, and 26 lbs. lighter, my cholesterol is 100 points lower, and all done with NO prescription medications. I have more energy and my feet, hips, and knees feel better. I have better concentration and improved self esteem, all of which I am certain translates into a more active, enthusiastic classroom demeanor and overall better performance.

Without the teacher discount that I was able to get through your arrangement with the Duval County School Board, I would have found it difficult to afford your program, and might not have made the decision to join the Thin Center program and my health would still be in jeopardy. I would also ask that you pass along my appreciation to the responsible individuals at the School Board (or tell me whom to contact), so they know how much their encouragement matters, and are aware of the value of this wonderful partnership.
