Weight loss
Acupuncture is particularly effective for weight loss. This is the subject of the master's thesis of naturopathic therapist Lingling SHI, founder of the BioMed MTC practice, and a specialty of the center.
How does acupuncture help with weight loss?
Acupuncture acts on the neuroendocrine system and the hypothalamus in the brain, which is responsible for appetite and satiety. Acupuncture can make you feel less hungry. Acupuncture regulates the neuroendocrine system.
Behavioral and psychological factors are central to solving weight problems. They can be the cause or consequence of physical imbalances. To address the whole picture, Chinese medicine helps you lose weight by treating both the mind and body holistically.
Weight Loss at BioMed MTC
At BioMed MTC, we offer a range of services designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals. In traditional Chinese medicine, we believe that losing weight isn't just about eating less and better or exercising. Weight is a broader issue that needs to be approached from multiple perspectives.
Weight loss support process
Weight loss support takes place in 4 stages:
1 anamnesis
The support begins with a medical history. The acupuncturist identifies the reason for the weight gain according to Chinese medicine (fatigue, slow metabolism, etc.). He explains to the patient the dietary framework conducive to change as well as the effect of acupuncture on weight loss.
2 Ponture
The needles are placed on strategic points, in particular the meridians of the spleen and the stomach; Local points on the stomach and points on the head to think less about food.
3 rest
The patient rests 30 minutes with the needles and a heating lamp in a dedicated room. It is good to rehydrate with a herbal tea offered at the end of the session.
4 End of session
The patient puts into practice the advice given for a week, then an assessment is made with the therapist who poses the needles again.
FAQ

It is essential to consider the individual characteristics of each person to prepare a very personalized weight loss program that works.
Is it difficult to follow your support?
In general, our patients say that support is sometimes difficult at first, during the first 3 days. Then it becomes much easier. Indeed, we help our patients to set up rituals and good habits in order to help them and put them in the best possible conditions so that they can achieve their weight loss objective.
From what age can we follow your support?
There is no age to start taking care of your body, you have to start monitoring your weight as soon as possible. Indeed, the more weight and bad habits you will gain, the more difficult it will be to lose weight and change your rituals. Age, however, is not a factor. Some 80 -year -old people are easier to lose weight than a 20 -year -old person.
