So with summer around the corner I have been hearing everyone buzzing about their newest weight loss scheme to get their bodies summer ready. Have you thought of using acupuncture to get ready for summer??
There are many reasons people become overweight - hormone imbalances, slowed metabolism, overeating, poor nutrition and lack of exercise are some of the most common.
Using acupuncture to tackle weight loss is a multi-pronged approach.

Help reduce cravings- During an acupuncture treatment good endorphins are released...same as the effect when you eat sugar or carbs. Get this effect from Acupuncture instead of unhealthy food!
Boost Energy- Acupuncture is a HUGE energy booster. With all this extra energy take your workout 30 extra min...or make it to the gym in the first place!!
Manage Stress- OK, you're stressed. Do you reach for a nice salad or a pint of Ben & Jerry's? I'll bet on the latter. People experiencing chronic stress tend to crave more fatty, salty and sugary foods. This includes sweets, processed food and other things that aren’t as good for you. Also stress alters your hormone levels leading to more fat! Acupuncture is an excellent way to manage stress, leading to a stop to stress eating.
Balance Hormones- It is almost impossible to lose weight when your hormones are out of balance. Ladies.....wonder why you gain that 5 pounds around that time of the month? Out of balance hormones can cause weight gain. When you use acupuncture to keep your hormones more level and balanced throughout the month you will not see as much of the up and down weight gain.
Releases endorphins- As mentioned above during acupuncture treatments, endorphins that make you feel happy are released . This can lead to less sugar cravings and a feeling of overall wellness and health. This is not a quick fix or an unhealthy pill, but it is healthy and effective!
Pair regular acupuncture treatments with a healthy eating plan, herbs, and exercise to get ready for summer!
