My inspiration for helping patients lose weight naturally, ultimately came from my own struggles to maintain a healthy weight through my own life. Staying at an ideal weight and learning how to stay healthy is something that is a constant process not only for me, but for every one of my patients wanting to lose weight and keep it off permanently.
Thankfully, food has begun to be recognized in our country as a true healing force. Alternative physicians have always seen significant improvements when individuals make appropriate dietary changes. Now, in our time, we are seeing a the revival of many ancient principals of healing. In the most recent few years, the awareness surrounding nutrient dense foods and the healing power of nutrition, is weaving its way into mainstream America.
The key concepts of proper nutrition and how to choose certain foods based on their ability to nourish the body, are very important to fully understand. Also, learning how to read labels is a very important step in taking responsibility for each and every thing we consume. However, in my healing and teaching work I have uncovered what I believe to be a much more accurate way to determine which foods belong in each patients diet, day to day. And in part, it involves the use of both Western medical science and ancient Eastern traditions.
In the “Western” medical tradition, an advanced alternative way of thinking suggests that – no two patients are the same! We are each unique in our current health concerns as well as our past medical histories. We each carry the genetics we have been endowed with as well as our own unique emotional and psychological struggles that present themselves from time to time. Every patient has his or her own special temperament as well as constitution and physiology.
Each weight loss program and holistic health plan must take into account each and every element that makes you, uniquely you! In addition, “Eastern” medical traditions offer other dimensions to food and diet choices and prescriptions. Over thousands of years, the ancient Chinese traditional master healers, developed a very sophisticated and accurate way to diagnose disease based on patterns within the body. For example:
- If one has a condition within their body that causes them to be “overheated”, they then need to eat more “cooling” foods.
- If one feels “too cold” they would then be prescribed “warming” foods.
- If someone has been carrying too much “toxicity” within their tissues, they would need to eat more “detoxifying” foods.
- If a patient were “deficient” in any way, foods that were specific “nutrient builders” would be emphasized.
In the western world of medical nutrition we often refer to things such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, sugars, and other components of foods. While these categories of nutrition are very important to consider in improving health and fighting disease, it is also important to look at health from a “Eastern” traditional perspective. Doing so allows one to consider certain food choices based qualities such as:
- Strengthen and improve energy
- Decrease mucous
- Moisten mucous membranes
- Regulate metabolism
- Ease anxiety and calm the mind
- Reduce water retention
- Warm cool conditions
- Cool warm conditions
