American Medical Association adopts policy to improve patient access to care for obesity

I am thrilled that on June 11th, 2014, the American Medical Association (AMA) adopted policy advocating for patient access to obesity treatment services including behavioral, pharmaceutical, nutritional and surgical interventions. This policy comes one year after the AMA recognized obesity as a “disease requiring a range of medical interventions to advance obesity treatment and prevention,” a decision I was thrilled to play a pivotal role in.

How many of us swore this behavior off in the first days of 2014? Congratulations and best wishes for a healthier, more nutritious year! But wait! We have yet another winter barrier to hurdle!

Becoming Less Busy

An excessively busy schedule takes some time to develop. It often starts in the form of one or two basic obligations, but grows more excessive with time. In our culture, being busy is often synonymous with being productive, successful or responsible. To get ahead, you must always have somewhere to be, someone to see and something to do.

Overcoming a Weight Loss Plateau

Every weight loss journey has its ups and downs. There are curves in the road, hills to climb and obstacles to overcome. Sometimes those obstacles are evident from the get-go, such as peer-pressure to have dessert, or a stressful day at work and a hankering for fast-food.

Vegetarianism, Weight Loss and your Health

Vegetarianism is a lifestyle choice to reduce the consumption of meat. There are several forms of vegetarianism. At one end of the spectrum there is veganism, which eliminates all meat and animal byproducts from the diet. Pure vegetarianism is the elimination of all meat, while ovo-lacto vegetarians will not eat meat, but are okay with eggs and dairy.
