Weight Loss Support
You're not alone in your quest to lose weight, and we're here to help.
People spend billions of dollars annually on weight loss products, and yet obesity is still on the rise. People turn to diet pills, extreme fasting, fad diets or even drastic measures such as surgery in an attempt to manage their weight, and often it isn't successful. Unfortunately, excess weight is not just a cosmetic issue, it's a risk factor for conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. The good news is that maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk and it's never too late to get started. People seeking to address their weight concerns are turning to acupuncture as a natural and effective way to approach, manage, and help support their weight loss.
Acupuncture works to control weight on various levels:
• Cravings in the body are often due to a lack of endorphins, or 'feel good' chemicals
• Acupuncture helps the body to release endorphins and to cut down on cravings
• Endorphin release also reduces stress hormones
• Increased endorphins and hormones lead to positive mood and increased activity
• Acupuncture also supports the body's ability to digest properly.
It is important to remember that acupuncture is not a quick fix. By working with your acupuncturist, and committing to long-term goals, you will experience positive changes in your overall health, including maintaining a healthy body weight. In addition to acupuncture treatments, your practitioner may also recommend other lifestyle changes.
Whether you want to lose a few pounds or a significant amount of weight, consider acupuncture as a natural and effective way to approach weight loss. By working together with your practitioner, you can help your body regain its natural balance - and start taking steps toward true health and vitality.
