Dr. Rick Tague explains that weight management is a medical problem, not a character flaw, and requires help from clinicians trained in nutrition and metabolism. Patients report that the right approach makes weight loss easier, reduces hunger, and improves energy.
I would want every person to understand that weight problems are very important in terms of overall health. And there's no way to experience what I call optimum health without having the weight controlled. And once the weight is controlled, life can truly be full of energy, vitality, activities, living the life that you were really created to enjoy. We see that weight gain holds people back from experiencing their potential. And when that's unnecessary, it's a very sad thing to see weight problems holding people back. Being overweight is not a deficiency of character, it's not a lack of self control or self discipline. Our patients are among the most disciplined, top achievers in our community, and yet they struggle with managing their weight because it's a metal problem, it's not the result of a character deficiency in any way. So when weight problems occur, there needs to be a medical solution. And I would encourage anybody needing to work on their weight, find somebody who's qualified, who's done their homework, who spent the hours studying nutrition, metabolism, energy, appetite situations, so they can truly give a comprehensive approach to this very difficult to manage problem. What I hear patients report back on their follow up visits is Dr. Tag, this has been the easiest weight loss approach I've ever had in my life and I am amazed at the results. I've never been hungry, it's been easy to follow, and I'm experiencing all the benefits of living a life that is trim, fit, healthy and happy. And those are the goals for my patients. Sam.
