The Mystery Of Sudden Weight Gain

Posted on by — 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

Are Lifestyle Changes Impossible?

Posted on by — 7 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 — 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 — 20 Comments ↓

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 — 11 Comments ↓

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

Facial guasha is an easy to learn technique that:
* encourages blood flow and promotes radiance
* prevents wrinkles
* activates cells to regain facial elasticity
* drains fluids to detoxify skin and reduce puffiness
* sloughs off dead skin cells
* uplifts and tones skin
