Meet Body Bar MD Patient Jen Pendleton

Professionals at Body Bar MD are trained in changing lives. Through the work of Dr. Christy and her clinic’s unique approach to comprehensive health through unlimited access, reshaping the lifestyles of patients is practically routine. This high rate of success does not, however, diminish the importance of every individual patient.

For one of those patients, Jennifer Pendleton, Dr. Christy’s techniques proved particularly transformative.

Since starting at the Body Bar MD, Pendleton, who is also President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Boone County, has embraced the active lifestyle made possible by her weight loss. She has become something of an outdoorswoman with her husband, Mike, as they have taken up hiking and completed many treks more than 10 miles long at high altitudes. While she admits that some of her undertakings have been challenging, Pendleton said she has “loved every minute of it.”

This winter, Pendleton plans to take up skiing and snowboarding. Next summer, she hopes to acquire some rock climbing skills in Colorado.

“Weight loss is not about all the things that you seemingly have to give up, it’s about everything that you gain,” said Pendleton. “I haven’t been able to see that until now. Food had too much of a hold on me. I owe it all to Christy, she saved me.”
