Integrative Weight Management

Integrative Weight Management: A Guide for Clinicians intends to educate physicians and nutritionists about the wide ranges of approaches to weight control from non-traditional sources. The options for weight management in conventional practices are limited to a small number of medications, a confusing array of dietary approaches and surgical procedures with their inherent risks and complications. Unfortunately medical practitioners are not exposed to nutrition and weight control principles during training and thus are reluctant to manage their patients weight control issues. This volume is structured into 4 sections: Introduction to Weight Management Disorders; Morbidity and Mortality of Obesity; Therapy of Obesity; and Integrative Medicine and Obesity. Integrative Weight Management: A Guide for Clinicians represents a powerful collaboration of dozens of leading experts in the fields of nutrition, weight management and integrative medicine who have managed countless numbers of patients and summarized the research from thousands of articles to create an up-to- date state of the art guide for healthcare practitioners, allied health professionals and public health authorities who manage those who are overweight/obese along with the associated metabolic consequences.

Congratulations! You have reached your goal weight. Now what? How will you maintain it? What makes this time any different from the last 5, 10, 15, or more times you achieved success only to regain the weight and then some? This book is about weight management, not weight loss, as we all know how to lose weight. The fact that you have been on numerous diets over the years and successfully lost weight means you are an expert on losing weight. However, like me, what you are lacking is a plan to keep it off permanently. Inside these pages you will find step-by-step instructions on the 7 Essential Success Factors for maintaining your goal weight while living an organic, authentic, strong, lean, and healthy life. Beyond Weight Loss shows you how to maintain your weight loss through: - doing what you love and feel passionate about; - being where you want to be and doing what you want and with whom; - embracing who you are and what you do; - speaking your truth; - not fighting what is; - walking through open doors and leaving closed doors alone; - understanding that changes occur and knowing the right time, place, and conditions; - not taking things so personally; and - enjoying the moment and having the answers you seek.

This practical book provides effective, time-efficient strategies for initiating and continuing productive conversations about weight that can be incorporated into any practice setting. It will benefit all clinicians—advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, physicians—from students to experienced providers, whether they provide obesity treatment or refer to those who do. This guide addresses the numerous barriers that clinicians encounter when they contemplate or attempt conversations about weight and provides strategies to reduce and overcome these barriers. It guides clinicians step-by-step through the concepts and skills needed to have conversations that lead to improved health. Each chapter provides useful tools and information about how to move the conversation forward in a respectful, skillful manner. Real life clinical scenarios provide examples of short, productive conversations that incorporate the tools into clinical practice. Many clinicians recognize the importance of discussing weight with their patients yet feel unprepared to do so. Most did not learn about obesity or how to talk about it in their clinical educational programs and have little access to continuing education. Without the knowledge and skills to start a productive conversation, many avoid the topic. This avoidance has a negative impact on the health of those with obesity and pre-obesity. Given that obesity treatment improves outcomes, it is imperative that clinicians are skilled at discussing weight with knowledge and sensitivity. This book meets that gap.
