Altamonte Springs Chiropractor offers Permanent Weight Loss Plan

As America struggles with an epidemic of obesity, Altamonte Springs chiropractor, Dr. Roslyn Thompson is doing her part to achieve a healthier, thinner, America. Dr. Thompson does not believe in dieting or diet pills. She advocates getting healthy, and therefore teaches her patients how to achieve optimum health. When optimum health is achieved, obesity and many other chronic conditions are eliminated.

Dr. Thompson's weight loss program is different from most of the others because it focuses primarily on improving the health of the individual. The approach is to correct all underlying factors that either cause weight gain, or prevent a person from losing weight and keeping it off.

At New Hope chiropractic Wellness Center, patients start their program with a short educational workshop directed at teaching them about the cause of obesity, how the body processes food, and the foods that contribute to weight gain. They are then evaluated for any roadblocks to losing weight.

Evaluation of the liver is imperative since it is the body’s fat burning organ. Not only does it help to burn fat, it is also responsible for clearing from the body, chemicals and toxins that can interfere with the function of hormones. When the liver is sluggish, the body’s ability to burn fat will be impaired.

The thyroid gland must be evaluated because of its importance in metabolism. When weight loss is a desired outcome, the thyroid must be at peak performance. Another area that is often overlooked, is that of food allergies. Food allergies are a major factor in obesity and other chronic conditions, and must be eliminated if weight loss is to be permanent.

When the evaluation is completed, the client is ready to start an individualized weight loss plan, which begins with the correction of all the underlying issues that affect health and would also be roadblocks to effective and permanent weight loss. Our experience has been that in the process of correcting the underlying problems, clients lose 10-30 lbs. We have seen clients lose up to 30 lbs by simply eliminating foods to which they have sensitivities, and we have seen weight losses of 10-15 lbs when we clear the liver of toxins. Clients are usually happy with that jumpstart to their weight loss efforts.

Obesity is one of several nutrition related conditions that is treated at New Hope Chiropractic Wellness Center where Dr. Thompson invites all to join her campaign for a healthier America. In an effort to educate the community, she offers free health videos at www.newhopechirofreevideos.com. There is also a wealth of information at www.newhopechiro.com.

Dr. Roslyn Thompson is a graduate of Life University and Florida Southern College. She is a Registered Nurse as well as a chiropractor. She practices in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
