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 everyday
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.
