Like many people who have struggled with weight loss, Hannah had been trying for years. Living in northern Idaho, Hannah had limited access to medical care to support her weight loss journey. Through Hello Alpha, Hannah was immediately able to connect with a dedicated primary care provider who gave her treatment options, lifestyle support, and care for other health conditions, too. Hannah discovered an approach to her health that finally fit into her life.
Hannah Smith’s story is one that many women in rural American communities face: a lack of access to high-quality healthcare. And like many Americans, Hannah was navigating a frustrating weight loss journey on her own. Bouncing between healthcare providers who lacked the expertise or training in weight management, Hannah’s other resources were fad diets that never worked long term. Reflecting on her journey, Hannah says, “I had been trying to lose weight for years. Looking back, I might have grown up in a somewhat food insecure household."
Living in northern Idaho presented its own set of challenges, especially when it came to finding healthcare that was high-quality, compassionate, and equipped to treat weight management. Frustrated by the complexities and expenses of previous attempts, Hannah stumbled upon a TikTok that would change her life. "Then, in July, I saw this TikTok - and it mentioned a couple different services and one was Hello Alpha. I got online and did my research, and I was so impressed with how easy it was and how inexpensive it was—but also with how thorough the questions were.” Instead of generic weight management advice, Hannah’s Alpha provider was able to personalize her recommendations and treatment. Hannah’s unique background, past experience with weight management approaches, and preferences were all taken into account by her board-certified provider.
Hello Alpha stood out not just for its affordability but also for its user-friendly approach. The thorough intake process made it seamless for Hannah to kickstart her weight loss journey. "Once I did all that, I was off to the races. It was so easy to do the visits, and the interactions with my provider and the rest of the Hello Alpha staff were so easy and convenient."
Regular follow-up visits every four weeks became a routine for Hannah, coupled with the prescribed medicine. Starting officially on August 1st, she achieved a remarkable milestone by shedding 100 lbs in less than a year. Brimming with pride, Hannah couldn't help but share her success story with the world. "In that timeframe, I would brag to the heavens and anyone who would listen that this was so easy and they need to get signed up for Hello Alpha. I would tell everyone."
What set Hello Alpha apart for Hannah was not just the success she saw in her weight loss journey, but also how she could turn to her Alpha provider for other healthcare needs. "Besides the weight loss, I realized Hello Alpha was convenient for other things, like when I didn’t want to go to urgent care or schedule a doctor’s appointment. I even work in healthcare, but Hello Alpha is still just the best option for me."
Hannah's journey with Hello Alpha is a testament to the transformative power of accessible and comprehensive virtual care. Her experience serves as an inspiration, proving that with the right support and resources, achieving health and wellness goals is not only possible but also remarkably convenient. Cheers to Hannah and the many others finding their path to a healthier, happier life through Hello Alpha.
