Transform Alliance for Health

"After reading through the website, I attended the orientation with high hopes. An hour into it they finally reveal what the program really is—a 3 week, 100%, whey- based, protein shake meal plan plus three hours of online group meetings a week. No one on one work with doctors or nutritionist. Just phone calls from a “grower”. No options for vegans or lactose intolerant clients. No mention of any of this on their website. Had to waste an hour of my life to find out the plan doesn’t work for my dietary needs."

"I'll set aside the fact that they call their doctors "shamans" and their counselors "growers." And that they rope you into a 2-hour orientation before disclosing that they put you on powdered food for three months and weekly AA-style group counseling. And that their high-pressure sales tactics resemble a predatory timeshare pitch. Despite all the red flags, I was prepared to jump in, rearrange commitments to adhere to their rigid schedule, and pay the many thousands of dollars the three-month program would cost. The real dealbreaker for me was the 23-page packet of paperwork that often directly contradicts what they say. In an effort to be HIPAA-compliant, they require patients to sign a "Group Visit HIPAA Notice." The notice reads: > I realize that I have the option to be seen individually. > I understand that I am not required to sign this form to receive health care treatment. I called and said I would like to exercise that option, that I was uncomfortable sharing intimate health details with a group, and was happy I didn't have to. They said they do not offer individual sessions. I said ok, then please amend the form by eliminating those two (false) lines, and I'd consent to group treatment. They declined to do so and curtly denied me treatment, again going against the language of their own paperwork. Transform insists that patients falsify forms to feign HIPAA compliance. They have all the makings of a cult. Their operation is extremely sketchy at best and downright illegal at worst. I'd advise those interested to steer clear or at least be very cautious. Instead talk with a doctor you trust about connecting with a licensed dietician."
