Dealing with Obesity & Losing Weight

Dealing with Obesity and How to Lose Weight

At Private G.P.com in Leicester ,Liverpool and Manchester we have a unique programme based on Functional Medicine and supporting optimal biochemistry to allow you to lose weight! 

The most important thing is that you deal with your nutritional biochemistry This includes eating good wholesome organic food (go back to pre-war and take away all the labels!), and tending to your emotional lives!  Stress, according to the National Geographica is a serial killer and it is very important that we reduce any stress in your life, as this is a very key component in most people who are extremely overweight.

Did you know that the biochemical effect of stress is to actually increase your weight? 

The mechanism is via release of Cortisol into your blood stream caused by stress which then happens to increase blood fat, blood sugar and insulin levels.  Unabated stress will maintain these levels and eventually, despite eating less and exercising more, human bodies can actually gain weight!

As a result you will find that much of the work we do to help you to lose weight will be revolving not just around your diet but also around your stress responses.

The body, as you will well know, is a very complex place and the psychology behind changing what we eat can be challenging.  To this end we use the help of a CBT Therapist  and Hypnotherapists who specialise in weight loss. Their experience can help you to untangle past blocks and empower your self-esteem to develop a better eating pattern for your body. 

Some other basic steps for nutrition are as follows:

Step 1:  Compose meals based on good nutritional advice.

Step 2:  Eat small amounts and often.

Step 3: Enjoy foods that help you control your appetite and foods  that send it out of control.

Step 4:  Use herbs to optimise your hormonal balance.

Step 5:  Use supplements to control your appetite and balance the brain fat / gut cell communication. Did you realise there was an M1 motorway between your gut and the brain, and your gut and fat cells?

Step 6:  Consider Functional Medicine Tests to find if it is your body reactions to food that are putting the excess on and no matter what you eat or control has little effect.

At Private G.P. we test for the homogenous balance of your body that can affect the way your body deals with food. We investigate how your body metabolises food and how it gets rid of toxins rather than storing toxins.

 These tests will look at the number of minerals, vitamins, fatty acids and amino acids in your body. Also your digestion and absorption efficiency, whether or not the ecosystem within your bowel (the second brain!) is working properly. You may have abnormal parasites, protozoa, amoebae, cysts, yeasts that may be causing a permeable gut  We also measure your detoxification potential and look at aspects that may inflame the gut such as food allergies or intolerances or coeliac disease which can cause great stress on both the lining of the bowel and on the Immune system.  All these factors affect the efficiencies of our system.

Did you realise that having a high glycaemic index diet (with lots of sugar, either raw sugar or dry fruits or complex diet) can cause extreme stress on your insulin systems leading to metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovaries or Diabetes.  The same process is also very relevant to weight control.

Functional Medicine Tests

At Private G.P.com we will organise tests to look at your metabolism including insulin and glucose tolerance test, Triglycerides, cholesterol and HDL tests, thyroid function, liver function tests, absorption tests and both literal readings for amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins and functional levels of these substances (a functional level is not related to normal level, it is related to the amount that your body needs for your unique circumstances) and adrenal stress test.  We also measure liver Detoxification and gene testing for the same.

Hypnotherapy for Gastric Bands

We have an amazing new concept of hypnotherapy for gastric bands.  For those people who are not safe to have a gastric band due to their high weight, we can now hypnotise them into believing that they do have a gastric band so that they gain the same metabolic responses.

In conclusion, here we have a microscopic Metabolism approach.  We call it the Functional Medicine Approach to Losing Weight.  We have a six step plan which can help you lose weight and improve the quality of your life. Where the road is sticky and difficult; there are lots of other ways that we can unpick the issue. Our aim always is to do the very best we can to help you manage your weight and to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life.
