THE DIET WITH A DEGREE OF DIFFERENCE- A MEDICAL DEGREE
We are a nation obsessed with our weight! The topic dominates the national media with reports on new research findings, the latest diet fads, and sightings of celebrities and models who are either too skinny or too fat. Binge eating, anorexia, and obesity continue to be pandemic, while Americans spend over $ 60 Billion a year on weight loss products, programs, and diet aids.
The consensus within the medical community and government is that weight issues aren’ t to be taken lightly. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention( CDC) estimates that obesity is approaching tobacco as the top underlying preventable cause of death in the USA. With a host of serious illnesses associated with excessive weight, the question is why aren’ t we seeking professional medical help instead of relying on the counsel of an in-experienced weight loss sales person?
Experts agree that you are more than just a product of what you eat. In fact, treating people with weight problems is not simply a matter of telling them to eat less and exercise more. A central factor in those who struggle with excess weight is addiction; addiction to food and an unhealthy pattern of eating. A primary goal at NorthRiver Wellness & Weight Loss is to break food addictions and help patients reach a safe and healthy weight quickly. Most importantly, the Center’ s program teaches clients how to maintain their weight loss permanently by adopting healthy habits in place of their addictions.
The American Medical Association now recognizes obesity as a disease. Excessive weight needs to be treated as a disease, just like high blood pressure and diabetes. Unlike leading consumer weight loss programs whose staff require no medical knowledge or training, the NRWWL providers are certified professionals. They fully understand the complex factors that are related to weight gain including individual psychology, contributing illnesses, prescription medications, and the genetics of individual body composition.
NRWWL’ s approach to weight loss is based on an individualized treatment plan. Whether clients are suffering from severe health issues due to extreme excess weight or merely looking to lose 15-20 lbs for cosmetic reasons, all patients receive a full medical consultation with detailed scientific measurement of their Body Mass & Basal Metabolic Rate to accurately predict weight loss results. Each fully individualized program is supported with ongoing, one-on-one care including nutrition, fitness, medication,
behavioral motivation, and counseling. The physicians and nurse practitioners at NRWWL use the latest techniques and medical data available in the field of Bariatric medicine, including access to high quality nutritional products only available only to medical doctors. The latest FDA approved weight loss medications are also available to clients.
In addition to the weight loss itself, associated health benefits include a decrease in dependence on blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol medications, as well as lesser risk of chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure, clinical depression, sleep apnea, and lymphedema.
Dr. Kemp’ s and McEntyre’ s aim when opening NRWWL was to provide people desiring weight loss with access to compassionate, dedicated professional specialists. However, successful clients who have reached and maintained their weight loss goals talk about the center as a life-changing and lifesaving experience!
