Dr Gardner, I recently purchased your green tea extract formula. However, today after visiting with my endocrinologist she determined that my blood pressure is pretty high.

Will I keep the weight off? I have a fear of gaining all the weight back, and more.
Most diet programs are difficult to stay on as a lifestyle, and when the motivation is gone, a regression back to the original habits take place. This program is a lifestyle that just makes sense. Obviously, if no [...]
