Feature Business Owner Doc Gerber of LiveWell

Describe your business and how you got started?

After losing 95lbs in only 18 weeks on the Ideal Protein program, I established LiveWell ADK in order to offer this amazing lifestyle program to everyone.  I changed my life in such a positive way that I needed to share my experience with my patients and the public at large.  I am a doctor who talks the talk and walks the walk.  I find the cause of the patients negative issues and repair them instead of just treating the symptoms.

Are you known for anything special?

Making positive changes in peoples’ lives and helping my patient’s to succeed with their weight loss goals.  Listening to my patients fully and understanding exactly what is ailing them before we begin care.  Treating each and every individual the way I would treat my own parents – professionalism, respect and honesty.

What do you like most about your business?

Helping my patients and clients make positive, healthy changes in their lives.  Enjoying my patients’ success and appreciating the part that I played in it. When I arrive at the office it is always a new journey for me, between having new patients, seeing the positive results with existing patients and learning from my patients.  I go home at night and rest knowing that my patients are well taken care of and getting the positive results they are looking for.

What do you feel is your biggest challenge with your business?

I feel that the biggest challenge in my business is squashing the diet myths that have hurt people in the past.  Diets are made to fail.  Just look at the first three letters, quite negative.  If you think about it, a “diet” is with you for your whole life.  Whatever you put into your mouth, whether it’s tofu or twinkies, water or soda, that’s your diet.  My program is looked at as a life changing experience which people have not achieved in the past.  Changing society’s outlook on this can be challenging with some but even more, doubters become believers.

What do you want the community to know about you?

I want the community to know that I truly care about my patients both personally and professionally, and want them to attain the goals they set for themselves.  I give my patients the tools to succeed.  My staff coaches them on their journey to success and well being.  I personally just don’t know the program; I live it day in and day out.  This is very special to the community, for them to see me before and now … what a statement.
