Posted: May 07 in Weight Loss Tips by

Kathy Barrows (Ph.D, R.D.) and Millie Adams (M.S., R.D.), both dietitians at the Grove City CONCI, were able to attend a weight management symposium in Las Vegas, March 2-4th, sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It was an excellent symposium focused on current weight management research and applications for practice. Topics included addressing motivation in behavior change, nutritional genomics; web based coaching, effects of sleep apnea and PCOS in the obese individual and clever strategies for a “calorie burning makeover” (www.drlenkravitz.com).

The Central Ohio Nutrition Center (CONCI) Celebrates Its 33rd Year

Posted: Mar 07 in Weight Loss Tips by

Time passes fast! Thirty-three years ago, March 5, 1979, the Central Ohio Nutrition Center opened its doors to treat people with obesity and its associated conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, etc. CONCI was conceived by Dr. Harry Shaver, a family practice physician, motivator, and visionary. He saw the benefit and excellent results of the OPTIFAST program. He aggressively attacked obesity with OPTIFAST, exercise, behavior modification, and sometimes medication. Under his tutelage, five individuals, Drs. Judy Loper, Richard Lutes, Robert May, Tom Broyles, and Edward Baltes became passionate about this type of comprehensive weight management program. Unfortunately, Dr. Shaver passed away at the young age of 49, but his vision remains an inspiring voice in the Central Ohio Nutrition Center today!

Posted: Mar 02 in Weight Loss Tips by

Happy Birthday to CONCI! March 5, 1979 was the beginning of the Central Ohio Nutrition Center. From its inception, CONCI’s vision has been to help people lose and maintain a healthy weight! CONCI sees itself as much more than a physician’s office that offers a weight loss program. We see ourselves as our patients’ advocate, friend, support system, and means to better health. We are committed to our patients’ wellbeing, regardless of the time, energy, and effort required by the staff. A personal connection is made with each patient, providing them with the confidence that they have a safe place to go with a problem of which they are often ashamed.
