What is holding you back?

 

Stress eating?

This is the most often cited reason for excess weight. Luckily, it is also the easiest to fix!

The root of stress eating is, of course, stress. The constant input of information we receive puts a huge, invisible burden on us. Add to that life circumstances that are out of our control, and you have the recipe for stress eating. However, simple self-discipline backfires because self-discipline in itself is stressful!

Acupuncture, ear seeds, Chinese herbal formulas and lifestyle modifications can really turn this around. I often hear people tell me they’re stress-eating less even though I’m treating them for something else!

Strong cravings?

The great thing about cravings is that when you tell me what you’re craving, it tells me more about what’s going on inside of you.

Sweets? You’re likely stressed, anxious, and overthinking.

Crunchy? You need some serious tension relief. You probably hold tension in your jaw.

Salt? You’re feeling deficient, scared, and ungrounded.

Those are just to name a few. We reverse-engineer your treatments using these cravings as hints.

Unbalanced food choices?

Eating a lot of raw food when you’re someone who is often cold and has loose bowel movements can increase your weight and lessen your energy.

Yo-yo dieting creates greater weight gain every time it is attempted and can cause heart damage.

Cleanses? No way. No more.

Really stressed and uptight while eating lot of stimulating foods such as coffee and spicy foods is a path to not just overweight but GERD and hypertension.

Eating no vegetables or fruits but plenty of fast food, topped off with ice cream is a fast track to weight gain.

It’s all about BALANCE. And no, I don’t mean every once in a while you actually get a piece of bread. There is such a thing as eating too clean. That is also an imbalance!

So what do we do?

The first thing, always, is to remove Excess. We start with herbal formulas and acupuncture to clear out excess Phlegm, Dampness, and Qi Stagnation.

We look at your food choices to see if they match with your constitution and make small, enjoyable tweaks. Yes, really.

We use ear seeds to support stress relief and cravings in between appointments.

This is a collaboration over several months. You have to participate. Acupuncture and herbs are not magic; they are, however, as close as you can get when it comes to changing how your body processes your food and balancing out your weight.
