What Our Customers Say
“I was referred here by my insurance and it was the greatest experience I ever had. There’s no other place that you can get cooking lessons, dietary/ nutritional help, and therapy all in one. The staff really dedicates themselves to all your needs and they 100% support you in all your walks of life. Just gotta be willing to apply yourself and your one step closer to your healthier lifestyle.“

“Honestly, BCC was one of the best experiences, as it offers support for those post surgical and contemplating surgery or just wanting to lose weight and be healthier. The staff is warm and inviting, they take an interest in you and your health and well-being. The chef makes appetizing food choices and shares the recipes. The chef prepared meals are then used for clients to practice healthy eating skills (mindful eating) that teaches you how to eat, enjoy your foods while listening to your body cues of fullness. The therapy and dietician staff are phenomenal. I am so glad I took the chance and completed the program.”

“I have a toolkit of delicious recipes curated by a professional chef and designed for bariatric patients. I know how to practice mindful eating, and I use it each meal and snack everyday because BCC helped me to create a new healthy habit.”

“One of the best things about BCC was finding “my people” – people who truly understood and supported me in ways I never thought possible. We formed real bonds in our group sessions, and they created a safe space to open up and be vulnerable. BCC also gave me the tools and the courage to step outside my comfort zone, which has boosted my confidence in so many areas of my life.”

“This place changed my life in a way that no other medical service has. You experience nothing but positive energy from the moment you walk in the door and everyone actually knows your name to meeting people in the program with you, becoming friends! I benefited from chef’s classes, learned so much about so many different ways to get movement into my life, had so much positive & caring support from the registered dietician, and realized that something as simple as mindful eating helps me enjoy food without guilt and continue in the right direction in my weight loss journey!”

My favorite thing about the staff was…
“My life has been irreversibly changed in how I move through this life. When I’m kind to myself: I take chances that I wouldn’t have allowed myself to take in the past, I make decisions with more confidence knowing I’m capable of making sound judgements, and feeding your self-worth from within is undoubtedly less tiring than chasing others for scraps of validation. Thank you, BCC staff for helping me change my life. I wouldn’t be where I am without you. 🩷”
