How can I ever thank you for the positive impact you have had on my life.  Together we have faced difficult situations and even when I was unable to communicate my needs clearly, you went out of your way to reach out to me and bring balance to my health.  This has been a long road for me as I felt so disconnected from my world.

At the end of 2018 I felt a spiritual stirring inside of me that I needed to embark on a weight loss journey and I fought it with all my might but it was persistent just like you.   I thought about the HCG protocol that you relentlessly talked to me about on my annual visits and I struggled with doing this program because it seemed so very restrictive and unforgiving.  Upon doing some research on this protocol I found the HCG Chica podcast and listened to countless interviews with people just like me who had struggled with their weight all their lives and I knew I had found my tribe. This protocol seemed more doable.  It only took 6 years of your support, devotion and compassion to push me through the door of what would be a life changing experience.  Wow, Dr. Kelly I am sure that you wondered if I was ever going to turn that corner.

I embarked on my HCG journey on my birthday, February 20^th 2019. There were a lot of highs and lows and so much that I discovered about myself.   I realized that what I thought were cravings were actually hunger pains. I learned that I can keep weight off without starving to death and that I can still have treats in moderation.  I observe how food affects me.  Most important I learned that it is ok to make mistakes because that is a wonderful teacher.  Being insulin resistant I think that only the HCG protocol would have let me shed the weight as quickly as I did.  I am amazed that at my youthful(LOL) age of 61 and being insulin resistant I was able to shed 56 lbs in about a year while also taking a 6 month break.  It has taken herculean efforts to achieve weight loss.  I would often have clips of our conversation come back to me and I would say to myself: Dr. Kelly is right I need to do something to get this weight off.  I have been through a myriad of diets through out my entire life but have never found one as effective as this protocol.  Dr. Kelly , THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for opening this door wide and leaving it open even when I was reluctant to walk through it.  God bless you.

I have a vivid memory of being 7 or 8 years old and one of my good friends told me about her favorite treat and I thought to myself that I did not have a favorite special treat and so I would adopt hers.  She loved chocolate and so that became my favorite treat.  I was slightly heavy but that did not really bother me.  My father’s side of the family tends to be obese and I feel as if it has always been easy for me to put weight on and my parents were always putting me on a diet and I always felt deprived.  I realized that treats filled a void for a lot of emotional turmoil I found myself in from an abusive school system , and growing up in a big impersonal city where I was exposed to disturbing realities that shaped my fears.  What better way to feed suppress emotion but with chocolate!! Although in all fairness, the last few years weight lost seemed absolutely impossible.

What a journey I have been on and I thank God for putting you on my path to help me along this journey.

I hope this gives you a glimpse into a sliver of my life.  There is so much I want to share with you but when I was in your office I really feared getting into that ugly unstoppable crying !!! because this has been such an emotional and difficult journey.

My son has been dragged to so many appointments, I couldn’t count, so when I told him that he was meeting with Dr. Beades for an extended appointment, he groaned. But after we arrived and Dr. Beades graciously explained to me that it was critical that my 15 year old son do all of the talking, he walked out of the appointment and told me that it was the best appointment he’s ever been to and felt as though Dr. Beades was his advocate for life.  My son suffers from a life-long, chronic condition and Dr. Beades has the passion for wellness and healthcare that we should expect from ALL of our healthcare providers, but sadly, cannot. I would recommend Dr. Beades to anyone who has either chronic conditions or simply wants to know what is going on with their health, physically, mentally or physiologically.

I want to let you know how much I appreciate your nursing and support staff. You’ve assembled such a strong team. As regular patient, I so appreciate their professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile. They are a hard-working group.

My rather lengthy (5+ hour) Vitamin C infusion treatments mean I spend a good portion of my day with your staff, once every two weeks. The atmosphere you and your staff offer is unfailingly upbeat and positive – that’s so important for patients like me dealing with cancer or other serious conditions. I find your clinic radiates a terrific energy and I honestly look forward to my “infusion days.”

I also want to offer kudos for Dr Clark, who is part of my Naturopathic provider team. Her commitment, patient communication and approachability make her wonderful to work with.

No doubt the pandemic has created a new set of non-trivial headaches for you and the clinic. From a patient’s perspective, I think you and your staff are handling it all beautifully, and I thank you for that.

I found the pellet procedure to be less painful than a T shot. Overall, my levels feel much more stable. This was definitely an improvement over self-administering shots. The staff is the best. Love these people!

Dr. Beades is the first physician I’ve worked with who truly listened to me and took a holistic approach to treatment, ensuring we looked at all options – not just medicine – to improve my health. She went above and beyond to explain her recommendations and made me feel empowered as a patient. This not only helped the conditions I sought treatment for but helped me be a better advocate for myself when interacting with other clinicians.

Dr. Kelly is truly a life saver. She is intelligent, compassionate and really thinks outside the box. Mille merci Dr. Kelly. Gros bisous!!
