“I can’t even imagine what my quality of live would be now if I weren’t replacing my lost hormones. Dr. Pelletier at LMI is the 4th doctor I’ve been to for this. She is the 1st one, out of all of them, who has known how to help me, has gotten my levels balanced right, and has worked and worked until they were right. Before I went to LMI, I was having hot flashes every 20 minutes, not sleeping, overweight, my haor was falling out, I was unhappy and I had no libido. The doctors were telling me that this was all a normal part of aging. Now I sleep like a baby, have lost 20 pounds, am working out again with weights, got my libido back, and overall feel very happy and well.
My sister-in-law, who is an R.N., was so against all of this- being in the medical field. She was convinced I was hurting” myself. Now after slowly talking to he about all of this, she is not seeing Dr. Pelletier too and already feeling better. She finally said, “I want to feel how you feel.” Now she’s going to be able to.“

“I started menopause and had a hysterectomy. Thank God for James’ Clinic. They saved my life and my husband’s. My sex life was non existent… I love my husband dearly but could not tolerate sex at all. I was moody, had hot flashes, was irritable then I found LMI. My first visit I sobbed. They were able to pin point ALL of my problems and the staff was talking to me… about me and understood ALL I was feeling and experiencing. They gave meds for me, not a cure all generic pill, but medication/supplements for ME. My moodiness improved, hot flashes in the past… irritability gone… and WOW, sex was awesome! I began to desire my husband again and couldn’t get enough of him!!! LMI changed my life. I just turned 50 and wow…I have I have two young daughters ages 13 and 9…their lives are better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Jim LaValle approximately 5-6 years ago. He clinic into the same fitness facility in which I trained several of my clients. Being a registered nurse and a certified strength and conditioning specialist, I am not a stranger to the health and wellness arena as well as alternative medicine. Jim’s approach to wellness is somewhat amazing, however. I have witnessed countless patients by now, my self included; seek Jim’s help in tackling, treating, and or supporting anything from cancer and autism to chronic fatigue and obesity. Jim’s approach is holistic in nature, seeking the underlying cause of a situation, and dong what it takes to correct that, at the same time supporting the traditional medical approach to treating disease and illness. His success is staggering!
Personally, I began seeing Jim for “restless legs”, lack of mid-day energy, and chronic joint pain. Because I “burn the candle at both ends” working long hours and then always finding an hour or so everyday to workout myself, I hardly thought there could be a “magic cure!” To my surprise Jim counseled me on how to tweak my diet, strengthen my immune system with adrenal and thyroid support and “quieted” my restless legs. Because I have a very arthritic knee from running, I will always have some discomfort. However, with the nutritional and supplement support Jim recommends, I’m still running!
I now have several family members and friends seeing Jim! They too are first amazed and then hooked! Thank you Jim for being the expert and professional you are! Because of you, many of us are stronger, healthier, and with any luck will live a lot longer!”

“Pre James LaValle and his team, I was so run down I was afraid I was losing my mind and I was scared that was it for the rest of my days. But he rebuilt me better than I was 30 years earlier. Today, I’m more optimistic than ever, and my wife is delighted with the sleeker model me, whose pants measure what they did back when I was 34!”

“The MCD approach is a scientifically based, national plan for healthy eating which leads to loss of excess weight in a natural way. The feelings of hunger and “cravings” experienced with other diets are almost non-existent with MCD, and the weight loss can be maintained permanently because it is based on a solid biochemical foundation.”

“When I came to LaValle Metabolic Institute it was the best step I ever made for my health. They addressed issues that other doctors seem to ignore. My thyroid was under treated and I suffered from candidus and other allergy problems, as well as hormone difficulties. I was opposed to chemical hormones, which led me to LMI. LMI looks for the cause of the problem not just putting a “band-aid” on the symptoms but really looking deeper. After addressing environmental issues, that I had never even thought of before, and following LMI’s guidance I began to lose weight. This weight was due to my body not functioning at its best. I lost the 30 pounds that I just could not seem to shake. I found that it was due to a lifestyle of sugar, chemically treated food, water that was full of impurities, and veggies, that looked green and good but were raised in a way that had no life or energy in them. Hormone issues that were chemically addressed created problems rather than solving them. When I first went to LMI, I was in the beginning throws of menopause. I had fibroid tumors that were wreaking havoc on my body. After getting on a personalized hormone regimen the fibroids shrank along with the problems they were causing. Eating all the unhealthy foods had contributed to my dilemma. I began to eat organic. I left the synthetic hormones, chemicals, antibiotics, and additives behind, the typical American diet.
LMI not only treated my body but my mind and soul as well. They recognize it is all a part of the person, they do not take the cookie cutter approach. You can not treat one part and forget the rest. Integrative medicine is the best of both worlds. A blend of allopathic and natural treatments that treats me as a whole being. An open minded approach for the future, giving you the best of both worlds.
I am glad to have the LaValle Metabolic Institute on my side, looking out for me. I trust their judgment and feel confident about their advice. I know when other doctors fail me, LMI is looking closer at the issues and take the time to really get to know me. Something you can no longer get in a 15 minute office visit, which is so typical in today’s world.”

“I am a 64 year old man who has had a 30 year career on the financial industry. My career has caused me to endure to many years of stress and frequent traveling. All of this should have taken a serious toll on my health, but I was fortunate enough to have met Jim Lavalle 20 years ago. I have following his advice and supplement regimen for the past 20 years. Today I am frequently mistaken for being in my early 40’s. I still play competitive sports against opponents 20-40 years younger than I. While I attribute some of my good fortune to genetics, most comes from the benefits I have received over the years from the “Lavalle program” I have followed.”
