Weight control is achieved by using acupuncture to help to rebalance the body energy, enhance the metabolism, and help reduce body weight.
Oftentimes, we blame heavy body weight on bad eating habits, or lack of exercise. But often this is not true. We find that being overweight is often caused by a slow metabolism or some energy blockage in the patient’s digestive system. Curbing the patient’s eating habits won’t have long-lasting effects, and the patient will likely experience serious weight rebound when their diet is drastically changed.
Changing a person’s diet is like fixing a slow car (our body) by giving it the best gasoline (food) on the market while ignoring the inefficient engine (digestive system) problem. If the engine is not repaired and brought to its best condition, no matter how much high-quality gasoline you put in, the car will still run slow. Therefore, the best solution is to fix the engine itself (your digestive system). This is the beauty of using acupuncture for weight control; we directly work on the root of the problem.
Jean’s perspective of the acupuncture weight control program is more about restoring your body to a healthy, vibrant level and making healthy living a life-long change.
