We had the good fortune of connecting with Jamie Young and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jamie, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
In the beginning of my business I worked as much as I could which lead to burnout at a pretty early state of my business. To keep my company on a path of growth and to keep me mentally healthy I learned that to work smarter, didn’t mean working harder and work-life balance became a huge priority. The key to work-life balance is all in the systems that you have in place, not only at work but at home too. As my business grew, so did my systems… everything from my calendar, to my digital phone system, and even designing email funnels and responses not only help me maintain a healthy work-life balance but also provides a higher level of care to my clients and those around me.

What should our readers know about your business?
Real Results is a medical weight loss practice located north of Atlanta in Kennesaw GA owned and operated by Jamie Young, the founding CEO. We offer a personalized approach to weight loss, because every”body” is different. I, Jamie Young, started Real Results in 2017 because I saw a problem- clients were walking into mega weight loss offices and were all being sold the same really expensive package with therapies that they didn’t even need, and I knew there had to be a better way. Real Results stands apart from other weight loss providers because of the high level of care that we provide our clients and patients. I believe that when people look and feel their best from the inside out that they reveal the best version of themselves to those around them. From the first time you reach out to Real Results, you will see that we are different… We have so many ways to help people reach their goals, that we offer a free consultation either in person or over the phone. During that appointment each new patient sits down with me, one-on-one, and I use the clients’ medical history, lifestyle, budget and weight loss goals to design a program perfect for them. I have had many ups and downs as the business grew, especially when the pandemic hit in 2020, but what I am most proud of is the resilience that I have had over the years (I can remember an inner mantra of “I’m not going down like this, I’m not going down like this”). Summer of 2020 my medical director and I dove into the most current medical research and added several new therapies and even more “at home” options for clients so they could continue to reach their goals despite the challenges that they were dealing with. 2020 ended up being my most successful year so far due to that resilience.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take them to the Battery- even if the Braves aren’t in town the area has been so well designed for a fun evening. We’d catch a game with whichever team is in season- Falcon’s, Hawks, or ATL United. I love to be active so we would check out Swift-Cantrell Park or Kennesaw Mountain for some exercise. Dinner at Elevation chop house would certainly be on the list along with a few other restaurants- Henry’s, 1185, and Century House. A trip into downtown Atlanta would be the big finale with a trip to the aquarium and a show at the Fox!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The people that you surround yourself with is a huge reflection of your success! For me, my mentors and coaches that I have worked with along the way have really paved the way. I did an internship with Alli Worthington who wrote Breaking Busy which really helped me as I stepped into being a business owner, mother and wife. My husband Philip believed in me even when I didn’t which has been a huge pillar in my success. Most recently I have been listening to Amy Porterfield’s podcast and courses to help scale my business in a new way in 2021 going into 2022.
