Patient Education For Weight Loss

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  It seems that Americans are becoming more and more obese.  All the tools a person needs to become a healthier individual are available:  weight loss programs, psychotherapy, exercise programs, wellness programs, bariatric surgery, et al.  ALL my patients who enroll in my Wellness Program achieve their goals, but this is because I educate them on proper nutritional choices, and limit lifestyle changes so they are not 'deprived'.  Patient education regarding healthy weight and nutrition is part of my job.  I never shy away from encouraging a person to lose that extra 15 to 20 lbs that is affecting their achey knees, heart disease, diabetes, R.A. or vertigo.   Working together with a patient and understanding why they overeat and their lifestyle is key to their road to wellness.  If you have a problem losing that extra poundage and are tired of being labelled 'obese', call or email the office today.  Enroll in my Wellness Program - you won't regret it!  917-701-7582

I Can, I Will, AND I DO!!!

No.....I'm not getting married for you wise guys out there!!!!  I'm talking about RUNNING!!!!!!
For a few months, every time I looked at the treadmill, I'd psyche myself out and that little voice in my head would say 'you can't, you'll look stupid doing 3 minutes on that thing, and you'll never run again'.

Two weeks ago, I told the voice in my head to SHUT UP!  I looked at the treadmill and said to myself, 'there's nothing wrong with you, get on that thing and just do your best'.  I CAN DO IT!!!!  Yesterday, I ran 45 minutes at an easy pce (approximately 4 miles), the last 5 minutes with 2.5lbs dumbells in my hands.  I feel great!!!!  Today, I'm going to do the same and make sure I get in my weight and strength training.  I've stopped saying 'I can't'. 

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Kill the little voice in your head that tells you you're no good, and tells you what you can and cannot do....YOU CAN, YOU WILL AND WILL DO!!....now, get out there and just do it!!!  No matter what you do, just try to do your best; speed, endurance and perfection can be attained; all you have to do is practice!

Hey, Hey....It's Tuesday!

It's another day, and I still don't have much to say.  But, I will tell you all this:  recently, I've seen a few patients who have come in for a routine maintenance treatment.  I haven't seen these folks for a few months...they've been quite the busy beavers.  But EVERY SINGLE PATIENT looks fabulous!!!!!  I asked them what they were doing (many of them lost 18, 20, 25 and 30 lbs and are fit, healthy and feeling really good!).  They all told me, "I've been doing exactly what YOU told me to do, and it's really working for me".
.....go figure!

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  I've decided to practice what I've been preaching and guess what?  My dresses are zipping up a lot easier, I'm sleeping better and feeling really good!  Your Tip is to do what I tell you to do and you'll get results!!!  If you haven't come in for a consultation, now's the time to get with the program. Have a great Tuesday!

On Corporate Wellness

Let's keep it simple today.  If you own a business, or are a top level executive and you're getting fed up with smokers who take 2 hours per day to go outside for a break (that equals 40 hours per month time away from one's desk!), or losing productivity in the workplace because your staff is becoming sick (from stress and diminished immune system), I've got a solution for you!!

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Call or email my office and enquire about my Corporate Wellness Program.  Find out how just 30 minutes, once a week (onsite at your facility) for an employee can help increase productivity, reduce absenteeism, and create an optimum working environment for you and your staff.  It's cost-effective, time-effective and in the long run, will save you and your shareholders big bucks!!  Enable an employee to quite smoking and they'll be back at their desk instead of outside the building, they'll be healthier (so no sick days claimed), and they'll be much more productive!  And that's just the beginning of the program....
Be smart and get on the ball!  Call or email today!
