Weight Loss Surgery Improves Health, Quality of Life while Highlighting Need for Better Understanding of Obesity, says West Medical


Obesity remains a serious health and quality of life problem that is extremely hard to conquer without assistance.

An October 2 article on Wicked Local Framingham reported on the story of a woman who underwent a successful weight loss surgery nearly 20 years ago; she lost over 100 pounds and has remained petite ever since. Nevertheless, she says she still bears traces of the years of schoolyard bullying and adult fat-shaming she endured prior to her procedure. Southern California healthcare group West Medical says that obesity is a complicated issue many people who do not struggle with weight problems may have difficulty understanding. The healthcare clinic adds that everyone deserves to both be treated with respect and to feel confident in their own body, no matter their size. At the same time, obesity remains a serious health and quality of life problem that is extremely hard to conquer without assistance. Fortunately, for those looking to slim down significantly, weight loss surgery can help patients defeat obesity once and for all.

Most people – particularly those who engage in fat-shaming – misunderstand how intractable severe obesity is as a condition, says West Medical. The reason is that nature is committed to keeping people at their current weight – whatever that is. The clinic notes people with weight issues tend to produce more of certain hormones that give them larger appetites than thinner people. The weight loss center says that, when people begin to eat less as they attempt to lose weight, the body reacts as if a food shortage may be imminent and produces even more of the hormone; it only gets worse for as long as the patient is able to continue losing weight.

Procedures like a gastric sleeve, says the clinic, reliably solve the weight loss conundrum as they remove the majority of the stomach. A smaller stomach, says the clinic, makes overeating uncomfortable, reducing the appetite. It also appears that permanently removing 75%-85% of the stomach restricts the production of hunger hormones, so the urges that make patients want to overeat in the first place are greatly reduced. Defeating obesity with a sleeve surgery, says West Medical, is far less difficult.

The Southern California clinic comments that people who are not regarded as severely obese may not qualify for weight loss surgeries, but there are an increasing number of powerful nonsurgical options. West Medical now offers a leading-edge procedure known medically as the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). Also called an accordion procedure, an ESG sews accordion-like folds into the stomach, which result in a smaller capacity and a smaller appetite, West Medical says. It adds that also offers all of the most popular gastric balloon procedures. As the name implies, these procedures reduce the stomach’s capacity for approximately six months by placing a balloon-like sphere in the stomach, significantly reducing the appetite and giving weight loss efforts a significant jumpstart.

Fitness Machine Technicians, specialists in the maintenance and repair of exercise equipment for commercial and residential customers, announced it will open its first location in Washington today. Michael and Dawn Lee of Mount Vernon will own and manage the local office.

Headquartered in Philadelphia, Fitness Machine Technicians operates in more than 70 markets across the country and offers service/repair and maintenance on a variety of exercise equipment in fitness centers, universities, high schools, hotels, apartment complexes, corporate gyms and private residences.

Michael and Dawn began their first foray into entrepreneurship by flipping houses – it was a part-time project that would eventually inspire their interest in opening their own business full-time.

A board member and coach for the Washington State Student Cycling League, Michael states, “The Pacific Northwest is leading the trend in prescribing fitness as part of promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We’re excited to provide a service that helps people stay active, even during our rainy winters.”

Dawn studied Nutrition at Cornell University and continued her education at Bastyr University in Kenmore. For the past 12 years, she has run a part-time business teaching nutrition, yoga, and reiki. She and Michael are also trail-building advocates.

“Health and fitness have always been priorities in our lives,” says Dawn. “We’ve taught our kids the importance of staying active and couldn’t think of a better way to share our passion than by opening a business that allows us to help our very active community stay fit,” she adds.

Since its inception, Fitness Machine Technicians has been committed to delivering reliable service/repair and preventive maintenance services to customers across the nation. With more than 35 years’ experience in the fitness industry, Chief Executive and Founder Don Powers created a company that puts its customers first.

Isagenix Energy Drink Is Company’s Most Successful Permanent Product Launch


https://www.prweb.com/

BĒA has 125 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from green tea and is made with raw nutrients and vitamins sourced from fruits and vegetables.

Consumers can now boost their energy levels more naturally with ingredients that are a step up from what you typically find in this drink category. This is tremendously important given so many people are paying close attention to what they put into their bodies. – Joshua Plant, Ph.D., Isagenix CSO

A new, healthier energy drink that can help consumers jump-start their day, power through work, or perk up in the afternoon had a historic debut for global health and wellness company Isagenix International. BĒA™ Sparkling Energy Drink had the best first-day performance of any permanent Isagenix product, with sales 10 times greater than first-day sales for e+™, the company’s popular long-lasting energy shot that launched in 2013.

Isagenix created BĒA — a ready-to-drink beverage whose name stands for botanical energy plus adaptogens — to both energize and nourish the body.

“After analyzing the energy drink market, we identified a strong need for a healthier caffeinated beverage, and BĒA delivers,” said Joshua Plant, Ph.D., Isagenix chief science officer and chairman of the company’s Scientific Advisory Board. “Consumers can now boost their energy levels more naturally with ingredients that are a step up from what you typically find in this drink category. This is tremendously important given so many people are paying close attention to what they put into their bodies.”

Available in a Berry Bellini flavor, BĒA has 125 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from green tea and is made with raw nutrients and vitamins sourced from fruits and vegetables including beets, spinach, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, oranges, apples, strawberries, and maitake and shiitake mushrooms. It also features botanical antioxidants as well as adaptogens, such as ashwagandha, that can help fight stress.†

“Another factor that sets BĒA apart is it has 10 calories, less than 1 gram of sugar, and no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners,” Plant said. “Consumers can enjoy this drink without feeling bad about what’s in it.”

By launching BĒA, Isagenix strengthened its position in the growing energy drinks market, which the company entered in 2013 with e+. In the United States, that market is expected to reach $26.9 billion by 2025, progressing at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% during the forecast period of 2017-2025, according to a report from Grand View Research Inc., a market research and consulting business.

Isagenix Chief Executive Officer Travis Ogden said debuting its first full-size energy drink not only helps the company attract consumers who have not tried Isagenix before but also helps it best serve existing customers.

“Our customers look to us for products that help them make healthy changes, so creating a healthier energy drink that features the high-quality, no-compromise ingredients people have come to expect from Isagenix made sense,” Ogden said. “We’ve received fantastic feedback so far. If the early response is any indication, we expect BĒA to be a game changer for our company, our customers, and the energy drinks market.”

While customers can purchase BĒA directly from Isagenix, the company recommends ordering through independent distributors. Preferred customer pricing is $39.99 for a 12-pack, and 5% of all profits will help the ISA Foundation — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operated by Isagenix — provide healthy nutrition and support to underserved children, wellness education for all, and aid for those affected by natural disasters.

NCES and CoachCare Announce Partnership to Provide Digital Nutrition Resources for Clinics and Their Patients


https://www.prweb.com/

NCES Partners With CoachCare

One obvious benefit of providing nutritional and other educational content directly into our healthcare mobile apps is that it can help patients stay motivated in their programs when they are away from the clinic or are not getting direct coaching.

NCES has recently partnered with CoachCare, a technology startup that offers a digital health platform for weight loss physicians, coaches and their patients.

NCES will collaborate with CoachCare to customize a dynamic, nutritional content repository to support the contemporary coaching needs for health clinics and their patients. The content will be available through CoachCare’s custom-branded physician dashboard and patient mobile apps, and will offer a combined health coaching and self-learning solution for clinics and patients. The content will target the impact of nutrition and healthy activities necessary for improving overall quality of life for patients, and will focus attention on chronic diseases, including obesity and pain management.

“We find that patient’s really want to be proactive when it comes to their programs, their coaching and their health,” says Carol Duke, Director of Marketing for CoachCare. “One obvious benefit of providing nutritional and other educational content directly into our healthcare mobile apps is that it can help patients stay motivated in their programs when they are away from the clinic or are not getting direct coaching.”

CoachCare will now support a library of general nutrition and exercise education that patients can review any time of day through their mobile apps, along with education related to more specific health issues they might be experiencing, including morbid obesity, sugar intolerance, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, renal failure and more.

“Many chronic conditions are directly impacted by nutrition and lifestyle choices, many of which are life-long habits that must be modified,” says Carrie Mark, NCES Registered Dietitian. “We believe CoachCare is a fantastic way to reach patients who are actively trying to modify their lifestyles and be successful in their programs.”

NCES products ensure patients get the most out of education, counseling and daily health maintenance by creating the critical connections in behavior and symptom control. NCES products target the teaching and educational needs for health professionals working directly with patients, as well as take-home products for patients who require ongoing reminders and behavior management support.

All NCES solutions are simple and easy to introduce and solutions can be implemented throughout the healthcare setting. “We make nutrition education and behavior management easy,” says Chris Jackson, CEO of NCES. “NCES products are high quality and receive great responses in satisfaction surveys.”

An official partnership launch will take place at Obesity Week in Las Vegas, NV on November 4-8. Stop by CoachCare’s booth #641 and learn more about the partnership here.

ABOUT NCES:

NCES is a leader in creating and publishing of health, nutrition and exercise content. The Company provides education materials and teaching tools, individually or as companion products, for health professionals.
