Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine for Diet and Weight Loss

Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM) helps you to lose weight naturally and permanently. TOM works by regulating your bodily functions during a time of change such as weight loss. As we lose weight we will increase our body’s metabolism through improved diet and exercise. This type of change can be difficult on our body, mind and spirit causing mood swings, cravings for certain foods and cause us to become discouraged and return to old habits.

After a thorough exam, Dr. Barrett will diagnose which organ systems will need the most support during this transition. In addition to diet and nutritional counseling a treatment plan may consist of the following:

Acupuncture/ Acupressure Traditional Herbal Medicine

Qi Gong Endermologie

Exercise and Fitness Counseling Massage

 

According to the paradigm of TOM, your body will be regulated during your transition to a slimmer and trimmer body. This will help avoid mood swings, cravings and regression. Some typical organ systems needing support for slimming and trimming are the endocrine system, the stomach, pancreas, kidney, and the sympathetic nervous system. Additional areas may be supported depending upon your diagnosis.

Your first visit will include a complete exam and diagnosis. You will be weighed in and can take photos to measure progress. Next you may receive any of the above treatments.. You will also be given a log to record your weight at each visit, a log to record food intake and count calories, and a list of facts and tips to slim and trim effectively. Remember, the objective of slimming and trimming is to regulate your bodily functions to burn calories from food. This may require eating more food but at different times than you now normally do. Sometimes you will eat less, while at other times you will simply change what you eat. Overall, you will learn to eat whatever you want while maintaining a slim and trim body.

Why wait. Call our friendly staff at 310 277 7179 and make your appointment today. We bill insurance directly. We look forward to hearing from you. Se habla espanol.
