Weight Management

Acupuncture can aid in permanent weight loss when combined with a sensible diet plan. Treatments can curb the appetite and increase metabolic activity. Auricular points can curb the appetite and points along the midsection can additionally be manipulated to tighten the skin and connective tissue. Cupping can also be added to enhance this effect.

Along with acupuncture treatments, a diet plan based on principles of Eastern nutrition, is also prescribed to maximize and maintain weight loss.

Unlike Western diets, Eastern nutrition focuses on the functionality of certain foods as well as its nutritional make up. Furthermore, a Zenohs Practioner will assess your lifestyle and create a personalized guide that will show you when to eat, how to eat and how much to eat. A typical example of a healthy diet looks like this:

       40% of diet comes from grains
       30-40% comes from vegetables
       10-20% comes from legumes: bean, nuts, and seeds.
       10% comes from fruits
       Less than 10% comes from meats and seafood.
       Less than 1% comes from fermented foods (eg. Miso, tofu, sauerkraut, etc.).
