CHICAGO (WLS) -- This week on Windy City Weekend Val and Ryan have a real conversation about Mother's Day gifts! What do moms really want and what do they end up getting?
VitaLife
Javis Jaspers, founder of VitaLife Weightloss, visited Windy City Weekend to walk us through how to lose weight in time for warm weather.
Jaspers explained how the VitaLife program starts with an easy at-home consultation.
"We do a assessment, it can be done in our office or it can be done at home. And basically, what that allows us to do is it ensures that everybody is a candidate for our program. So it's kind of like the initial step. And that what that does is it allows us to be able to see what they need to be able to customize what a program like what a program with us would look like for them," Jaspers said.
Each plan VitaLife offers is catered to the person looking to lose weight and be heathier.
"Sometimes people will lose 20 pounds, and they get just stuck. And it doesn't matter how many times they tried to get past that 20 pounds. And that's because they have to change their approach. When you lose weight, your body actually changes you become a different person. And so the program that you're using has to change as well. So doing repetitive bio scans allows us to be able to customize your program each time you go through it," Jaspers said.
Jaspers also brought a special offer for Windy City Weekend viewers. Regularly an initial assessment is $197. But for Windy City Weekend viewers, the price is only $27. Click here for more information or visit www.vitalifeweightloss.com.
