Weight Management is not only weight loss. Our philosophy at Imperial Healing Arts is that if your diet is healthy, nutritious and balanced, your body will be healthy and balanced as well. When all the systems of your body are working synergistically, and your qi and blood are full and flowing freely, you enjoy good health. When people are overweight, it is evidence that some part of our body’s functioning is inadequate. Oftentimes, when efficient functioning is restored, an overweight person will lose weight as a natural effect. We do not believe that a person should merely lose weight by quick artificial means such as with diet pills or other chemicals, starvation, fad diets or surgery. It will never last….

Forget the myriad diet schemes of no carbs, low carbs; no fat, all the fat; counting calories, counting points, counting grams; meals in boxes, cans and cellophane packages; substitute “food” as pills, drinks or bars. On any given “diet”, you will most likely lose some weight, but you will more often gain back that weight and then some. ”Diets” are designed for failure; they cannot work in the long run. The multi-million dollar diet industry is self-perpetuating and testament to that!

Our Imperial Healing approach is to first achieve wellness by restoring balance to the body through treatments of acupuncture and herbal therapy along with other Chinese medicine modalities that may be appropriate. We use techniques to reduce cellulite and water retention. At the same time, we will help you choose alternative lifestyle practices to nurture the mind and spirit as well as your body, to rest properly and to select healthy, nutritious, seasonal foods best for your body type. Therefore, we are not going to “put you on a diet”. Nor are we going to sell you a magic pill. What we will do is to help get you on a track to wellness. The bonus is that you will most likely lose weight!

Weight management, then, is a process of attaining the healthy weight that is appropriate for your body type and maintaining that weight. When you achieve wellness, you can intake, digest, absorb and eliminate efficiently and completely. As you plan your meals and food intake and make other healthy changes to your lifestyle, you will actually be in charge of your own weight management. We will be there to help you maintain your good health. The best part of this serendipity is that you will feel better, have more energy and, best of all, you will look younger!
