Questions & AnswersPeople call us up all the time wanting to know if Oriental medicine will make a difference with weight loss. And I tell them that yes we can make a difference with this. And if I could just sprinkle fairy dust on people I would being do that that way people can have whatever they want. I can’t always do that. What Oriental medicine can do, we can speed up people’s metabolism, and we can definitely make a difference and eliminate people’s sugar cravings which is one of the things people really struggle with. I will give people herbs that will make a difference with that. Because sometimes, well not even sometimes, all the times there’s a root reason as to why their root isn’t functioning properly. So we can treat that in an Oriental medicine direction. And I also have experience working with people in like lifestyle changes and nutritional changes so I have a lot of conversations with people about how to put exercise in their day when they have no time and they have no energy. Sometimes that’s what it is, people came in and they want to exercise but they’re exhausted all the time. So I’ll work with like why are they exhausted and I’ll get them out of that first. Sometimes people come in and they’re really struggling with how do they put exercise in because they’re way too busy and I’m like you know it’s actually really easy and let me show you how. I’ve had years with being able to talk to people about this and a lot of personal experience with it too. So working with lifestyle changes like that and then there are also nutritional changes you can make. Yes, it’s the standard thing like you need to eat less and exercise more and there are tricks to things. There are a lot of tricks to lose weight and I know pretty much all the tricks to losing weight. We have handouts we give to people and ways that we can provide accountability for somebody. So if they can come in and say okay here is somebody who actually cares about what’s going on with me and is asking me questions about it and the trick is really, like, I will meet people wherever they are. Like if it’s, where ever they’re stuck I’ll help them there. I’m really committed that people have the tools to help them do it on their own and if coming to my office provides a structure for them to obtain success then I’ll do it however they want to do it. I definitely have had people lose weight and stay at the weight that works best for them. It helps to have a structure and place to do that and I’m one of those structures to use.
