obesity, weight loss, and other conditions.
Metabolic Syndrome
Are you having trouble losing weight? Do you regain every time you try
and lose weight? Have you hit a plateau in your weight loss that you are
having difficulty breaking through? You might well have metabolic
syndrome. Download this handout by clicking above for more
information about what metabolic syndrome is, and how we can treat it.
If you have questions, please ask your nutritionist, or consider
scheduling a consultation with Dr. Lazarus to discuss other medical
treatment options. For some patients, medication can help sensitize the
body to insulin, lowering insulin levels, and facilitating weight loss.
Cholesterol
Have you heard about the new VAP cholesterol test? This new
cholesterol assay is quickly becoming the new standard in cholesterol
measurement and management. Like the routine cholesterol test, the
VAP test measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides. But,
the VAP test goes much further, measuring important hereditary risk
factors, lipoproteins, and subclasses. Further, by directly measuring the
cholesterol subfractions, it is considerably more accurate than the
traditional cholesterol assay (which calculates rather than measuring the
LDL), and it can be drawn non-fasting!
We are able to offer this test at a substantial discount off retail,
through special negotiation with Quest Diagnostics. We can use the
additional information from the VAP test to identify risk early, so if heart
disease runs in your family, we can develop the most appropriate
treatment plan so you can avoid a cardiac event.
For more information, contact our office at 303-750-9454, or you can

Resting Metabolic Rate
Have you had trouble maintaining weight loss? Many people have
trouble maintaining weight loss because of a slow metabolism, or resting
metabolic rate (RMR). Click above for more information on how to
measure your metabolic rate, and what we can do with this information!
Insulin Resistance and Pre-Diabetes; Diabetes Prevention Program
This is a link to an article from the National Diabetes Information
Clearinghouse with more information on insulin resistance.
Activity
Having trouble working exercise into your life? This handout contains a
collection of ideas from Dr. Lazarus on how to fit activity in. In one
study, among patients who successfully maintained their weight loss,
96% incorporated increased activity as part of their maintenance plan.
If you're having trouble finding ways to work exercise in, this handout is
for you. Do you have other ideas that have worked for you? Let us
know, so we can include them!
Body Mass Index / BMI
What is the body mass index? The above is a link to an excellent review

Prevention and Health Promotion).
Hypoglycemia

Clearinghouse with information regarding hypoglycemia.
