Losing just 10% of your body weight doesn’t just improve your waistline, but it has immense effects on your overall health! As a doctor, these are my biggest priorities in treating my patients.

Studies have shown that eating 30 different plants a week is associated with a more diverse gut microbiome, which is better for overall health. Your gut microbiome is a group of microorganisms that live in your G.I. tract and that aid with digestion. Having a healthy microbiome reduces the risk of chronic disease and cancer. It also allows you to strengthen your gut lining so that your gut can repair itself. Over time the microbiome has an effect on your metabolic health, reducing your risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and improving immune function. There is also strong evidence that your gut microbiome has a direct correlation with your mental health. Aiming for a variety of different plant sources provides different types of fibers and phytochemicals that act as prebiotics, feeding the various good microbes. By avoiding highly processed foods and feeding the good bacteria in your gut with fiber from plants, more are generated to keep you healthy.

What types of foods count toward 30 plants a week?
-Fruit
-Vegetables
-Legumes (lentils, beans, chickpeas)
-Whole grains like steel cut oats, quinoa, farro, barley
-Nuts and Seeds
-Plain popcorn (without butter or sugar)
-Dark Chocolate

If you’re already consuming an abundance of plants in your diet, keep it up! If you could use some help getting to 30 different plant sources each week, start gradually by adding 1-2 fruits or vegetables in your diet and slowly increase every few days. If you’re too ambitious and add too much fiber at once, you may experience gas, bloating, or constipation.

❌” I’ll love myself when l lose weight”

NO! This is a MIND TRAP that’s been fueled by a lifetime of exposure to weight stigmatizing images and biases. Your weight loss journey shouldn’t be full of self hate and self depreciation. What if you started your weight-loss journey from a place of self acceptance and self-love?

🍓What if your food was fuel to nourish your body as opposed to a drug to numb your body?

🏋🏼What if movement was a time where you could celebrate your strength and all that your body was capable of instead of seeing this as a chore.

💤What if your sleep was a time where you gave yourself permission to rest so you could be recharged and more effective instead of pushing yourself harder to get more things done in the evening?

🤯What if your boundaries were away to keep your thoughts and mind safe and protected instead of letting everyone have the best of you and being left exhausted and resentful?

💪What if instead of thinness you measured success by your capabilities, your consistency, and your metabolic health?

💕Building a foundation of self acceptance and self love is the place to start when embarking on a weight and health journey.

How might things be different if you viewed yourself through this kind of lens?

🌸YOU ARE WORTHY NOW, just as you are!

🎉Exciting news that Semaglutide is now FDA approved for MASH (aka fatty liver disease)

Interim results showed 63% of participants receiving Wegovy had MASH resolution and no worsening of liver scarring compared to 34% of participants receiving placebo, and 37% of participants on Wegovy had improvement in liver scarring and no worsening of MASH, compared to 22% of participants receiving placebo”

Incredible success for my patient who’s lost 46 # and increased her muscle mass. Especially proud of her because she is post menopausal AND has a neuromuscular disease…. 10 minutes of exercises/day, good sleep, excellent nutrition, and medication as a tool to help her do all the things!

Stop telling yourself it has to be 100% all of the time. You’re just sabotaging your success. Instead of focusing on intensity, shift your mindset to focus on consistency. This is hard for high achievers, but I promise you’ll stop feeling stuck when you lower the bar and just do something.

All major international obesity organizations do not recommend the use of compounded GLP-1 alternative products as they lack the same level of safety and efficacy testing.

Loved this lecture by at the Obesity Medicine Conference! Obesity alone increases the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Even without obesity/overweight, increased abdominal girth (waist circumference) increases this risk as well.

For non-Asians, an ideal waist circumference in women is less than 35 inches and in men is less than 40 increase (warning: this may be quite different from you pant size 👖📏).

According to this randomized control trial, Metformin given to patients with overweight and obesity significantly reduces osteoarthritis pain of the knees. Talk to your doctor to see if this is a good option for you. As a side note, sometimes Metformin is used off label for weight management.
