With holistic medicine we look at the body like it is a part of nature, and there are different causes for excess weight like damp heat, deficient fire (yang), excess dampness, and deficient blood. We assess the body by looking, listening, asking and feeling (tongue, abdominal and pulse diagnosis).
There is a serious problem with the SAD American Diet, as it has too much processed foods including refined carbohydrates and bad fats. Both of these raise the insulin in the body and can lead to insulin resistance (metabolic disorder), diabesity and obesity. To help rebalance this it is a good idea to eat a diet customized for your body type in a balanced diet Zone friendly way):
I have assisted many people in loosing weight, but more importantly, addressing the underlining imbalance so the weight stays off and people gain knowledge of how to keep their body in balance (please disregard the imbalance of this graph), lol:
If you or anyone you know is suffering from stubborn weight gain please send them to me. I do acupuncture, nutrition, herbs/supplements, functional medicine test to create a customized program for you. I also offer telehealth programs.
I take United, Cigna and Valley Health Plan. Review many before and after success stories at: www.kitchari.net
