Losing weight is not just
about looking good – it’s about being healthy. At Natural Health
California, our doctors believe this philosophy whole-heartedly.
That is why we treat weight loss from a holistic perspective.
The main focus of most
weight loss centers is on food and exercise. This is only part of
the equation. How, where and when you eat are just as important as
what you eat. Hidden ingredients can sabotage our efforts to achieve
a healthy weight. Marketing campaigns often abuse our nutrition
knowledge.
For example:
At Natural Health
California, we put a strong emphasis on education and accurate facts
to negate this problem. Being overweight increases our risk for many
diseases and conditions.
Associated health risks for overweight and
obesity:
Cardiovascular disease
High
blood pressure
High
cholesterol
Diabetes
Sleep
Apnea
Worsened Asthma
Pulmonary Hypertension/Congestive Heart Failure
Gall
Bladder Disease
Fatty
Liver
Osteoarthritis
Female cancers (Endometrial, breast, ovarian and cervical)
Male
cancers (Colorectal and prostate)
PCOS
Metabolic syndrome
The number of overweight
Americans has reached epidemic proportions, and sits at a whopping
64%. A naturopathic approach to weight loss is needed now, more than
ever. With the increasing incidence of diabetes in children,
learning healthy habits now, is also of great importance.
At Natural Health California, we address and
employ the following:
Good
nutrition (a whole foods diet)
Nutrient/botanical supplementation
Elimination of common ingredients that contribute to weight gain
Mindful eating
Psycho-emotional issues (and relationship to food)
Untreated medical conditions contributing to weight gain (food
sensitivities, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, Cushing’s
Syndrome)
Environmental modification (altering your home/workspace to
promote healthier behaviors)
Exercise
What can I expect
during my appointment?
Your appointment will
include a detailed intake and history, physical exam, dietary
analysis, laboratory results and treatment plan. Phone consultations
are included in your treatment plan for added support.
Why should I choose
the naturopathic approach?
Because weight loss is an
on-going concern, diets are not a solution. Addressing the health of
a person, and not the weight itself, makes for lasting lifestyle
changes. Health creates a whole new realm of possibilities for your
life. Looking good is one of those possibilities!
