GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Weight loss and cosmetic procedures can help change how you feel about yourself by changing how you look. This website is designed to introduce you to the services we offer to help you enhance your lifestyle. We constantly strive to maintain superb customer service and to provide you with outstanding patient education about your procedure options as well as some of the benefits and risks of each. Whether you're looking to educate yourself about procedures or you simply wish to look a little younger, you'll find the information needed to choose our practice for your procedure. Thanks for looking up our weight loss practice. Our programs have been created by a Board Certified Psychiatrist with a special focus on treating obesity and bring the special expertise of being a psychiatrist to the treatment of the feelings of heavy people. We conduct our practices from a main office at 420 Lake Cook Rd. Deerfield, Illinois and in telemedicine sessions in Illinois. We operate in an atmosphere of Affirmations. The goal of Self-Affirmations is to make smart choices and to work to improve your judgement about what to do when confronted by food, by stress, by people who give you grief. We try to unlearn the "NO" word, for it causes a lot of trouble to attend to what does not exist. The job is to make the best choice, the smart choice, in your current time and place. You can eat too much, you can eat just right, you can take a small taste, or you can take a shower, wait until it is time to go to a meeting, read a book, and select other creative alternatives that to your surprise and delight will occur to you in addition to the old ways of overeating, hating yourself for overeating, getting depressed and then eating some more because you want to punish yourself. We look for mindful eating to replace the old patterns of addiction to sugar and flour. And it is often a good thing to go without eating a meal and feeling lean and lovely and proud of yourself. We do mostly individual treatment with the use of an individualized eating plan. Though we agree that patients do become obese because they do not move around enough, we do not think that great big exercise is a good way to lose weight. A very heavy woman (60 inches tall and 180 pounds) simply can't exercise without getting injured. Exercise can become stressful and my patients overeat when they are stressed. A brisk 30 minute walk is fine. We like our patients to learn sedentary behaviors to take the place of eating. We like knitting, crocheting, board games, puzzles, dancing and love-making to the more usual types of exercise. People can exercise because they are thin. I doubt that many people lose much weight because of exercise. That is just one of the old chestnuts that therapists trot out to make their patients feel inferior. We like vitamins C, D3, Folic acid, B6, and B12 and Niacin along with Restylane, CoQ10. We teach patients to go into a light hypnotic trance. In this state of relaxation, we elicit their positive personal resources and connect these resources and personal strengths to the eating plans, and actions in the trance state. Reflection and smart deciding is emphasized in the relaxed state and we use this as a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the day. We like our patients to meditate about 5-10 minutes twice a day. During those times they are to reflect on their eating program and focus all of their passion on their emerging future shape. We use weight loss medications when they are indicated. We have not had any difficulty with these drugs, and in fact the heart valve lesions that occurred supposedly due to Phen-Fen are not easy to find now-a-days. Either they were not there in the first place or they have all healed and the amount of disease in fat people is the same as it was before Phen-Fen. Though 300,000 people die each year of diseases related to obesity, there is no real evidence that these diseases are drug related. In fact the killer in my patients is food, and that is much more dangerous than drugs prescribed by a diet doctor. As you lose weight your self esteem increases, and you feel happy.
