The Mystery Of Sudden Weight Gain

Posted on by Posted in Acupuncture/Traditional Chinese Medicine, Blog, Knowledge Base, T, Thyroid, Adrenal, & Sex Hormone Issues, Weight Issues — 11 Comments ↓

You know who you are. You’ve been eating stable portions of pretty much the same healthy food for years and you consider yourself weight conscious. Long ago you decided that by combining smart food choices and a health club membership, you were not–definitely not–going to be one of those people who added a point or two to their BMI score every year. Speaking of your Read More

You Can Prevent Weight Gain

Posted on by Posted in Blog, Knowledge Base, Weight Issues, Y — 1 Comment ↓

Before you dismiss this Health Tip with a stifled yawn and an “Oh, sure.

In fact, if you’re among the millions who avoid glancing at their bathroom scale Read More

Are Lifestyle Changes Impossible?

Posted on by Posted in Blog, Fitness & Exercise, Healthy Lifestyle, Knowledge Base, L — 6 Comments ↓

Many years ago, I became exhausted dealing with a friend who ignored my advice on living a healthy lifestyle. His attitude toward exercise was similar to Oscar Wilde’s “I often take exercise. Why only yesterday I had breakfast in bed.” His attitude toward food, especially restaurant food, seemed too often that he didn’t care if the quality was good as long as the portions were Read More

Diet Drug Controversies

Posted on by Posted in Blog, D, Healthy Lifestyle, Knowledge Base, Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Vitamins, & Herbal Remedies, Weight Issues — 1 Comment ↓

The FDA recently approved two new weight-loss drugs and literally within hours of the drugs being officially released a pharmaceutical rep for one of the companies left his card with me and a patient called wanting a prescription. In the weeks that followed, full-page ads for the drugs began appearing in every medical journal I read regularly and I noticed a slight, but measurable, increase Read More

The HCG Diet Actually Works

Posted on by Posted in Blog, D, H, Knowledge Base, Weight Issues — 19 Comments ↓

I imagine diet books began appearing worldwide shortly after the Gutenberg Bible hit the shelves. And ever since, physicians, nutritionists, alchemists, personal trainers, and others have attempted to convince us that their diet is the one that will change everything. All diets fail for the same reason, an assertion I base on my experience both as a practicing physician and as an overweight practicing physician. Read More

Chinese Medicine Tackles Your Weight Concerns

Posted on by Posted in Acupuncture/Traditional Chinese Medicine, Blog, C, Knowledge Base, Weight Issues — 10 Comments ↓

Despite all the hoopla about the “best” way to determine if we’re overweight–getting on a scale, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, pants won’t button, body fat percentage–we ultimately rely on our intuition to let us know we feel fat. In other words, if you think you’re overweight or obese you probably are. Two-thirds of Americans are one or the other, split 50/50 between the two, with the Read More

Recent Health Tips

  • Physicians And Empathy

    Some time ago I read an essay by a woman who described her experiences being employed as a medical actor. She’d been hired, along with some retirees, local theater majors, and a few people who were just curious, to play the role of patient in a training program for a local medical school. To start, she was assigned an identity that actually contained a lot of Read More

  • Controversial Diagnosis #6: Chronic Lyme Disease

    Since no one argues about the existence of Lyme disease, right up front you should know that the controversy here centers on the word “chronic.” In my view, the arguments among physicians about whether or not such an entity exists are becoming a bit ridiculous. First, let’s briefly cover acute Lyme disease. Although certain states have more cases than others, acute Lyme disease has been Read More

  • Controversial Diagnosis #5: Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity

    You’d be surprised at the degree of controversy surrounding this seemingly innocuous topic, not only among doctors but also patients (and best not to bring it up with anyone in the baking industry). This diagnosis has generated entire aisles of gluten-free products in grocery stores and GF selections on restaurant menus. And just perhaps you’re getting fewer dinner invitations because your host doesn’t want to Read More
