Obesity is
the root health problem of too many Americans. People over a certain
age with weight problems almost always have other serious conditions
which are a sign of poor health -hypertension, diabetes, arthritis,
and greatly increased cardiovascular risk. Our question for the
person who says he/she wants to lose weight is: Do you recognize
the serious health problems that you may have and do you want
to get rid of them? We have been very successful with individuals
who can honestly answer yes to this question. They are ready to
begin helping themselves. What makes us unique compared to
the mainstream weight loss programs is that our primary concern
is returning you to good health. That way you will feel better
than you have in years as you lose weight and you will be less
likely to regain the weight.
Weight
Loss - Overall Health Focus
Another
concern of ours is treating each patient as an
individual instead of treating him or her as another
calorie overeater. Different people gain weight
for different reasons. If the overall health of
the patient is assessed by a clinically trained
nutritionist working with a doctor, any metabolic
imbalances contributing to the problem can be
addressed.
The most exciting
part for us as we watch our patients learn how to help themselves
and become healthier is that those who have been on medications
often no longer need them. This is a true sign of good health-many
people mistakenly think that medications buy good health. In truth,
good habits earn good health.
There
is some controversy about what constitutes a healthy
diet. It is easier than you think, but unfortunately
it is not well known. Americans have gotten lost
in a sea of commercialism and advertising by special
interests groups. Want to learn more? Call us
