Weight Loss Programs
At the Radiant Wellness Centers, we help people lose weight in several ways:
- The whole food diet
For many millennia, humans ate real food that optimally nourished their bodies and minds and helped them stay lean and fit.
In the mid-1900’s, humans developed the ability to refine and process food. Driven by the profitable food industry, food production became a business and health factors were secondary to convenience, shelf life, and price. Health care professionals are well aware of the many detrimental effects of this transition upon the health of all people—especially children.
The harmful side-effects of an overly processed, sugary and fast-food diet are many but one of the worst is obesity. Over 60% of Americans are obese and that percentage is rapidly increasing for children.
Fortunately, significant weight loss usually occurs when a person consistently eats a whole food diet. We educate and coach our patients about this age-old way of eating so they can enjoy the many benefits of being trim and lean.
- Optimal Organ Functioning
Obesity can also be due to imbalanced functioning of certain organs. The thyroid, especially, affects the rate at which we burn calories. Female thyroid gland size is nearly twice that of males and, as such, female thyroid glands are impacted more by stressors identified by NRT.
Stomach and gastrointestinal tract function can also contribute to obesity. If nutrients are not normally absorbed and utilized, chronic food cravings may exist and drive a person to eat much more than needed for caloric expenditures.
- Emotional Factors
Eating may be the primary or only “fun” or relaxing activity for people with poor relationships or self-esteem. Addressing these factors can help people eat to live, not live to eat.
- Activity
Finally, we coach patients to engage in regular activities appropriate for their age and health status. Sufficient activity is an important factor in reaching and maintaining ones ideal weight.
