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.

Speaking of your 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

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