LEARN MORE ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE & WEIGHTLOSS...
In a recent study, acupuncture helped promote weight loss. 20 women between the ages of 22 and 42, all with a Body Mass Index higher than 27 were divided into 2 groups. The group of women who followed a 2,000 calorie per day diet, daily exercise and weekly acupuncture treatments lost more than twice as much weight as those who only dieted and exercised.
How does Acupuncture work for Weight Loss?
At East West Physicians, we address both the physiological and the psychological facets of weight loss. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs treat the physical, mental and emotional components to any disharmony (illness) in the body.
There are several ways that they can benefit you while you are trying to lose weight.
Regulating Metabolism: Acupuncture helps to regulate your metabolism. A history of irregular eating, overeating and even thyroid dysfunction all contribute to a slow metabolism. Acupuncture can help to increase metabolism by stimulating the thyroid and endocrine glands as your body adjusts to the changes in your diet and exercise. Affecting the endocrine system also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stop Food Cravings: Regular acupuncture treatments can help curb food cravings, just as it has been proven to help cravings for other addictive substances like tobacco and alcohol. Support from acupuncture helps to eliminate cravings and increases the will power to overcome them.
Benefit Digestion: Over time, things like crash diets, irregular eating habits and excessive greasy or fattening foods all take their toll on the digestion. Chronic symptoms such as bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation or diarrhea are all signs that the digestive system is out of balance. Acupuncture can help to harmonize the digestive organs so that you are symptom-free. Proper digestion ensures that you are getting the nutrients you need from your food so you feel less hungry.
Calming and Relaxing: When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the body and in the ear it stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins have a calming and relaxing effect on the body. Naturally releasing endorphins makes it easier to deal with stress, frustration and anxiety which can be triggers for emotional eating, overeating and bingeing on fattening foods.
Cleansing the Body: Acupuncture treatments during weight loss help to cleanse your system. Toxins that have been built up over time from excess weight and adipose tissue can cause symptoms such as fatigue, acne and depression. These can be relieved or eliminated with acupuncture, whether or not you are trying to lose weight.

Nutritional Counseling and Chinese Herbal Therapy/Nutritional Supplements
At East West Physicians, we include dietary counseling and Chinese herbal therapy into your weight loss plan. We may also recommend various nutritional supplements to your regimen. Recommendations for your nutritional plan are individualized according to each person's needs. Nutrition plans are made to support not just weight loss, but food cravings, sustained energy and an overall sense of health and well-being. Herbs taken on a daily basis continue work on the digestive system. They help to balance and strengthen the digestive organs. This in turn helps metabolism, appetite and unhealthy food cravings.
How Many Treatments will I Need?
The number of acupuncture treatments necessary depends on the patient’s goals for losing weight, the speed at which they want to lose, and their commitment to a new, healthier lifestyle. In general, in the beginning it is important to come for consistent weekly or bi-weekly treatments to help get you started. We recommend participating in our 12 week program that includes nutritional counseling and support group/nutrition classes. Once you are feeling comfortable with your new weight loss plan, the number of treatments will decrease anywhere from one to two visits a month. When you have reached your weight loss goals, you need only come four times a year, when the seasons change, to keep your system balanced and healthy.
It is important to keep in mind the benefits of having a trained professional to assist you during your weight loss process. It is helpful to have someone help monitor your symptoms during weight loss, and your acupuncturist (and nutritionist) are professionals who can help treat any adverse symptoms as your body’s natural rhythms are restored. Using acupuncture can be a wonderful way to assist you on your goals toward better health and losing weight. Together, you and your acupuncturist can help you set your weight loss goals and achieve them.
