A successful weight loss program has to include diet and exercise, and the active involvement of the patient is essential. There is no magic pill (or magic needle!). Dr. Klearman will assign a diet and exercise plan that is reasonable for you, that fits into your life, and is achievable. She will teach you how to eat a healthy diet with healthy portions so you don’t starve, and help you fit exercise into your life. The ultimate goal, remember, is a healthier lifestyle, not just the temporary loss of weight. Dr. Klearman will use acupuncture, which can assist in the maintenance of weight loss. Dr. Klearman utilizes a combination of acupuncture directed at the major organs and body parts, along with acupuncture points that pertain to adrenal, pituitary, FSH, ovary and thyroid just to name a few.

After a thorough consultation with the patient, Dr. Klearman will select the appropriate points to focus on for each treatment that would be the most effective weight loss management for the patient. In addition to acupuncture treatments for weight loss, Dr. Klearman will also recommend a program that includes nutritional counseling and exercise and an individualized weight loss supplement program which can include vitamins, minerals, and weight loss herbs. A commitment to lifestyle change will most likely be required as well in order to maintain the weight loss on a permanent basis.

The number of weight loss acupuncture treatments needed is dependant on the patient’s commitment to lose weight and keep the weight off as well as the speed at which they want to lose the weight. Please contact Dr. Klearman for more information regarding her natural weight loss program.
