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 !
