Start your Summer!

So far, the popular concepts on ideal weight and weight loss have not resulted in happier, healthier Americans. As we all know, obesity rates are only rising. And while it is true that increased weight leads to joint wear and tear, diabetes, heart disease, hormone imbalance and other health issues, it has not proven helpful to stress this. I think a radical new approach is necessary. My suggestions to patients who struggle with weight are simple but if applied, can be absolutely liberating. I tell patients to either accept and love themselves exactly as they are fully and totally right now, conscious of their own choices OR change their habits!

Either of these choices will result in more energy and a happier life. If you really accept that there are no other choices besides these two and you become okay with your choice it releases guilt, victim mentality and self-condemnation. If you choose to change and release the weight, we have a nutrition program, exercise recommendations and specialists to help monitor progress and document your success! And if the choice made is to accept yourself fully as you are, we'll let you know that we already have!

Until our next adjustment...

Yours in health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
