Holistic Weight Loss and Maintenance

At HGTC, I believe that the secret to successful weight loss is not a crash diet which leaves you exhausted and primed to gain back all the weight you’ve lost.  Instead, I believe that a gradual process consisting of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Nutritional assessment and education, and exercise are the keys to successful lifelong weight loss and maintenance. 

Crash diets give you a formula to follow for a set time and do not prepare you for lifelong maintenance.  Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine help to rebalance the body’s energy and function so that the mind and body are “retrained” gradually to function properly and metabolize the food that is eaten so that it’s properly used by the body.  An added advantage of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is that it firms the skin tone as you lose weight.  Not only do you look better, but the whole body is treated so that you feel better as well.

During this process, I assess your diet needs and habits in order to give you a sustainable, lifelong plan consisting of diet and exercise that revolves around your lifestyle. Drastic changes in diet have been proven to fail time and time again.  If you can’t do it for life, don’t do it!  I’ll work with you to make the necessary changes that you can maintain on your own for life.
