Spartanburg Chiropractor Announces Natural Weight Loss Program

CINCINNATI, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Health care professionals tend to underestimate a patient's willingness to discuss their weight and treatment options(1).  To help address this communication gap, the American College of Physicians Foundation has developed a Patient Centered Education guidebook and DVD called "Live Healthier – Weight Loss Options for Treating Obesity."  This tool was supported by funding from Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., (EES), a leader in bariatric and metabolic surgical solutions.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110513/NY01718LOGO )

The guidebook and video – available now at http://acpfoundation.org/materials-and-guides/video/videos-for-patients/weight-loss-options-for-treating-obesity.html  – are intended to help physicians and patients learn more about obesity and obesity treatment options, ultimately leading to weight-related conversations in the doctor's office.

"We're currently in an obesity epidemic.  More than 72 million Americans are struggling with obesity, a disease that can directly lead to health issues including type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea and many others," said Dr. Robert F. Kushner, M.D., Clinical Director of the Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity and past president of The Obesity Society. "Primary care physicians play a vital role in a patient's weight loss journey, which starts with having frank discussions about available treatment options, including lifestyle modifications, medications and weight loss surgery."

Obesity is a complex disease with many causes, including social, cultural, and genetic factors. Many people affected by obesity have tried for years to lose weight without long-term success. Today there are many weight-loss options for those who suffer with obesity. Treatment options include tips for a healthy lifestyle, the importance of a lifelong commitment to healthy living as an integral part of any weight loss plan, prescription drugs, and weight loss surgery.  The guidebook includes an overview of obesity, its associated risks and available treatment options based on body mass index (BMI).

An accompanying DVD contains educational content brought to life by patient stories and commentary from leading physician experts, including:

Dr. Robert Kushner, Clinical Director of the Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity and past president of The Obesity Society Dr. Christopher Still, Director of the Geisinger Obesity Institute, Medical Director, Center for Nutrition and Weight Management Dr. Robin Blackstone, President of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and Medical Director, Scottsdale Healthcare Bariatric Program.

New Patient Guidebook, "Live Healthier - Weight Loss Options for Treating Obesity," Now Offered by the American ...

If approved by the FDA?a decision is expected by mid-April?the fat-battling drug Qnexa would be just the second prescription long-term weight-loss treatment available in the U.S. (the other, Xenical, was approved thirteen years ago). Meanwhile, a gray market of thinness has emerged, with medication for all sorts of maladies taken for their purported slimming side effects.

Revia
Supposed to be used for: Alcoholism, opiate addiction
How it sheds pounds: The body produces opioid-like substances in response to triggers like food. ReVia blocks the brain’s opioid receptors, taking the fun out of eating. ?I no longer desired chocolates or sweets,? wrote one ReVia patient at Askapatient.com who used the pill ?as a weight-loss experiment.?
Documented losses: 3.7 lbs in eight weeks, by women in a study at the University of Virginia Medical Center

Wellbutrin XL
Supposed to be used for: Depression, seasonal affective disorder
How it sheds pounds: By increasing the effectiveness of the body’s natural dopamine? a brain chemical associated with feelings of pleasure?Wellbutrin can decrease appetite. Depression patients sometimes push for Wellbutrin for this reason. ?I am now a happy and thinner woman,? noted one drugs.com user.
Documented losses: 12 lbs in eight weeks, as measured by a small U.S. study of overweight and obese women

Ritalin
Supposed to be used for:ADHD, narcolepsy
How it sheds pounds: Ritalin also curbs hunger via dopamine, by boosting levels of the neurotransmitter. Eating-disorder forums are filled with praise: One user compared the Ritalin experience to ?[being] like an Energizer bunny ? without fainting because I didn’t eat.?
Documented losses: 11% fewer calories were consumed by subjects on Ritalin in a Canadian study

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
Supposed to be used for: Female infertility, male hormone treatment
How it sheds pounds: Injections of this pregnancy hormone speed metabolism; it’s been used off-label for that purpose since the fifties, but has undergone a revival. Users often pair HCG with a severely low-calorie diet.
Documented losses: ?43 pounds total!? bragged one dieter to a Dallas TV station earlier this month

Phentermine
Supposed to be used for: Short-term weight loss only
How it sheds pounds: Phentermine triggers brain chemicals that control appetite. But the drug can be habit-forming, so doctors usually prescribe it for no more than six weeks. Wrote a poster on phentermine.com who’s been taking it for three years: ?If I’m off it for a few days, I gain weight.?
Documented losses: 17.6 lbs on average in twelve weeks, by women in a UCLA study

Topamax
Supposed to be used for: Certain seizures, migraines
How it sheds pounds: Some patients report that Topamax dulls taste buds. It dulls other things as well. ?I notice[d] tingling in my toes and feet,? said one user, who lost 80 pounds. ?Also I have terrible short-term memory loss.?
Documented losses: 16.4 lbs on average by patients in a study published in the journal Obesity

* Qnexa combines the active ingredients of Topamax and phentermine. After it was rejected by the FDA in 2010 owing to health risks, California doctors started giving the two drugs to patients separately, demonstrating Qnexa’s obesity-fighting potential and leading the advisory panel to decide this time around that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Rating: 10/10 Once again the topi on Anti-Aging and its coonection to Resveratrol still baffles all till this day. Dr Sinclair explains the potential Resveratrol is on our aging process. Read more... The red wine ingredient resveratrol mimicked the metabolic effects of dieting and exercising in obese men, a small study found. Although it didn't lead to weight loss, a daily 150-milligram dose of resveratrol lowered blood pressure as well as blood glucose levels and liver fat in obese men after 30 days, Dutch researchers reported today in the journal Cell Metabolism. "It seems to make you metabolically healthier without weight loss," said study author Patrick Schrauwen of Maastricht University in the Netherlands. "I don't think it's a weight-loss drug." Resveratrol -- a compound found in grape skin, peanuts and dark chocolate -- has made headlines in recent years for its reputed health benefits. In 2006, Harvard researchers reported its ability to counteract the harmful effects of a high-fat diet and lower the risk of death in mice. It has also been shown to reduce cancer risk and slow aging in laboratory models -- findings yet to be replicated in humans despite soaring sales of the supplement. "It had been shown in animal and cell studies to have potent effects on metabolic health but there were no human studies," Schrauwen said. "Our study shows that resveratrol can indeed have ...

10-01-2012 11:12 GAIN MUSCLE: howgainmuscle.org Bodybuilding can be defined as the pursuit of lean muscle mass. The importance of a proper diet to accomplish this goal cannot be understated. In fact, many experts argue that diet can account for up to 90% of a person's success at building their body. Fortunately, there is an easy-to-follow meal plan that works like magic to burn fat and gain muscle. In this day and age of fad diets and trendy diets and so on, it is important to note that bodybuilding involves a lifestyle. Regular, intense and goal-oriented training sessions combined with an intelligent approach to eating will promote the development of a muscular physique that most trainees desire. What is required is discipline, patience, persistence and consistency. All of these attributes are favourable and can lead one to success in not only physique goals, but also in personal and professional pursuits. When an individual adopts bodybuilding as a lifestyle, the physique improvements can be maintained over the long term. A steady, consistent and daily approach will prevent the agony of short-term weight loss followed by a quick regain of weight and the accompanying depression and feeling of hopelessness. Training and eating like a bodybuilder works, becomes habit-forming and eventually gives one a real sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. We like to adhere to the KISS (keep it simple, smart guy) principle when it comes to meal plans. So let's not going to get too technical. We're ...

Bodybuilding: Diet for Muscle Gain and Fat Loss - Video

19-01-2012 01:29 The plantar fascia, or arch tendon, is a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the front of the foot. It is made of three distinct parts: medial, central, and lateral bands. The central band is the thickest and strongest and is the portion most likely involved in plantar fasciitis pain. In normal function the plantar fascia acts as a shock absorber and support mechanism for the arch of the foot. During gait, or movement, the plantar fascia acts like a spring to conserve energy and provide propulsion. Tension increases while the foot is on the ground to store the energy and is then released during toe-off to help with acceleration. Plantar Fasciitis literally means inflammation of the plantar fascia, but most cases are more degenerative changes rather than inflammatory ones. A new term being used to accurately describe the condition is plantar fasciosis. The condition accounts for about 10% of runner related injuries and is twice as predominant in women than in men. Because of this high incidence in runners, microtrauma from repeated stress is believed to be the primary base cause. Causes are often multifaceted and can range from biomechanical (poor form) to cellular (poor diet) and any combination of the possibilities in between. Activities such as running, bearing significant amounts of weight for long periods of time, jumping, and dancing can all cause repeated stress along the plantar fascia -- especially at the junction with the heel. Those who ...
