WEIGHT LOSS
Currently, thousands of Americans are overweight; while 33% suffer from obesity. Every year over 147 million dollars are spent to combat obesity in America, with failure rates at over 90 percent. Weight loss is a difficult process, which is caused by multiple reasons including:
- Food cravings due to low brain chemicals (serotonin and/or dopamine)
- Sleep deprivation
- Hypothyroidism
- Insulin resistance
- High cortisol levels due to chronic stress
- Allergies and gut dysbiosis
- Depressed metabolism due to low fat free mass from chronic dieting
- Certain medications and toxic chemicals cause weight gain, or make weight loss difficult
When the physical body is imbalanced, a disruption is created in our systems and functions of the body, which causes weight gain. Acupuncture has been used for many years for the treatment of weight loss. We suggest Acupuncture and certain techniques to enable you to successfully accomplish your weight loss goals.
