The Powerful Why and the Easy How
By Donald L. Hayes, DC
The average consumer knows that to be well, they must address a number of lifestyle issues such as diet, supplements, exercise, posture, eliminating unhealthy habits and being pain free without the use of over-the-counter drugs. Some doctors offer a complete wellness package, while others need to learn that wellness should include other concepts that support their treatment.
The Powerful Why to Add Nutrition
Why should you offer nutritional wellness protocols? In my opinion, it all began in 1926 when Harvard physician and physiology professor Walter Cannon, MD, coined the term homeostasis in his book The Wisdom of the Body. He defined homeostasis as having two pathways for balance: an electrical pathway that is similar to (structure) and a biochemical pathway that relates to (function).

The most common surgeries today for obesity are gastric bypass and a procedure known as adjustable gastric banding. But gastric bypass and banding procedures have many associated risks and long-term consequences. These procedures tend to work best if the patient also agrees to lifelong behavioral and dietary changes, including lifelong vitamin supplementation.

Good point.
Most “Diets” Don’t Work
A panel of weight-loss experts from the National Institutes of Health Nutrition Committee agreed that most diets don’t work, suggesting only 3 percent of those who lose weight on a diet keep it off for five years. They went on to say that the yo-yo pattern of going on a diet – losing some weight and then adding it back on – may be more harmful to a person’s health than losing weight in the first place. People who fail on diets tend to blame themselves for lack of willpower, when the problem clearly is insufficient scientific information to help them make better and more successful eating and lifestyle choices.
