Tools to
understand the underlying causes and evaluate the consequences of the
symptom that is excess weight
|
My Internet site collects questions
patients ask their doctor regarding the health and food intake debate. The way we eat is something we can act on
and improve every day in prescription to avoid dramatic weight problems and
its consequences on our health and life span.
I am an MD
specialized in
family medicine with a great interest in health problems
linked to excess weight.
The food problem is a side
effect of our dietary overabundance and has to be managed with education,
scientific facts and personal choices. The same way we learned to brush our
teeth; we need to learn to manage our eating habits.
Weight
gain and weight loss are common to all species because of that unconscious
calculator that ignites hunger and satiety. Hunger
and satiety are triggered in the brain, we don’t know much how it works yet.
The notions of calories and body mass index are used all the time. They are
in fact obsolete.
Selected efficient safe
prescription drugs can be prescribed because they are not yet available
everywhere. Common pathologies such as alcoholism, weight loss, stop smoking
aid, Tourette’s disorder or hair loss in men are concerned. Examples of Plastic
surgery are given; what to expect and how much it cost.
My Internet site explains some
of the solutions modern medicine can currently provide.
