Combat the temptation to turn to expensive pharmaceutical solutions

According to the CDC, the prevalence of obesity in the United States was 41.9% (statistics from March 2020).

It can be a daunting task to lose weight, especially when, according to the data, the deck is stacked against you! Most of the research about dieting focuses on weight loss — which (at least in the literature) shows a wide range of success and failure according to the University of Pennsylvania's Weight and Eating Disorders Program.

• 65% of dieters return to their pre-diet weight within three years.
• 5% of people who lose weight on a restrictive diet (such as liquid or no-carb diet) keep the weight off.
• On average, people with overall healthier diets are less likely to try to lose weight than those who have unhealthy diets. Here's the breakdown:
  • Americans who describe their diets as "very healthy" have tried to lose weight about five times in their lives.
  • Americans who describe their diets as "somewhat healthy" have tried to lose weight about eight times in their lives.
  • Americans who describe their diets as "not healthy" have tried to lose weight about nine times in their lives.

It’s also important to combat misinformation when it comes to the “right diet” and how much exercise is “enough”. You must combat the temptation to turn to expensive pharmaceuticals for a weight loss solution.

Let’s start with dispelling the myth of body mass index (BMI). The most accurate measurement correlated with chronic disease is waist circumference. For women, a waist circumference over 35” is correlated to a greater risk of chronic disease and for men, it is over 40”.

As Dr. Peter Attia says, the four horsemen of the “chronic disease apocalypse,” are Diabetes, Heart Disease, Neurodegenerative diseases, and Cancer. We are pleased to offer preventative strategies to combat the risk of these diseases.

How do you start with prevention when you are already at risk because of your waist circumference? Isn’t being overweight the cause of these chronic diseases? But what causes us to become overweight? What if it isn’t what you have been told?

The truth is our world is filled with toxic forever chemicals that get trapped in our body, causing eternal levels of inflammation that completely alter the way our hormones, gut, and even our brains function. When one of these systems is thrown off due to chronic levels of inflammation, then ALL the systems are thrown into imbalance. There is a newer spectrum of research showing us how intimately connected our gut, hormones, immune system and our cognitive/emotional functions are connected. It is called Psycho-Neuro-Endocrine-Immunology.

You might be asking yourself, “But what does this have to do with weight loss?”

We are exposed to these chemicals, also called OBESOGENS, every day. They are in our hair and beauty products, deodorants, cleaning products and they are in our food and water.

The sad truth is these forever chemicals are contributing to the wave of obesity, chronic disease, and even the decreased fertility we see in our country today. If you’d like to learn more, see the linked research below.

Our bodies are designed for survival, so if we are consuming and surrounded by chemicals and obesogens, the body will implement ALL forms of survival systems to keep us going. The body would rather be fatigued, overweight, and depressed than DEAD. The good news is we can reverse this trend!
