MANCHESTER, Mo., May 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manchester chiropractor Dr. Brad Mawer, of Morningstar Spinal Correction Center, now provides the Ideal Protein weight loss program to his patients. According to Dr. Mawer, he decided to start offering the diet and nutrition program because of all the research pointing toward obesity as a major factor in a long list of diseases and painful conditions. Dr. Mawer's center provides nutritional counseling, support and an assortment of the program's gourmet food products. After researching various nutrition programs, he felt this protein program effectively addressed the metabolic processes behind obesity in order to help people lose weight over the long term.
Dr. Mawer says that the Ideal Protein program has helped many of his Manchester weight loss patients reach their goals. "This program is working for my patients because it isn't just another diet; it was medically developed to address metabolic disorders common in the Western Hemisphere from the overabundance of refined carbs in our diets. Dr. Tran Tien Chanh developed this program over 25 years ago and it's still going strong, helping people burn excess fat while maintaining the muscle mass critical to maintaining a healthy body structure." Dr. Mawer says that even patients who had struggled to lose weight for years are finally losing weight and keeping it off on this program.
Dr. Mawer says that helping people lose weight is one of his major goals. He cites a growing library of scientific literature demonstrating how obesity worsens everything from diabetes and heart disease to arthritis and back pain. He explains that he sees obesity's negative effects in patients almost daily. He says that excess weight puts stress on a person's posture, causing the spine to shift out of alignment, which then leads to pinched nerves in the spine. He provides spinal adjustments to correct the misalignment, but until the weight comes off, the extra weight threatens to keep stressing the spine. The key, he says, is to help the patient lose weight.
According to Dr. Mawer, people who want to lose weight are often more successful on a medical program with doctor supervision. He says that because each of his patients undergoes a complete exam and nutritional counseling before beginning the diet, they know what they need to do to succeed. The extra support from the doctor and the gourmet foods also provide the incentive they need to stay focused on their goals.
Dr. Mawer says that helping people feel better about themselves and their health is the biggest benefit of the nutritional counseling program. "True health is a state of body and mind. When people experience how much better they feel physically and mentally after losing weight, they want to stick with it. Their risk factors for disease, their pain levels; all of those things decrease and they feel energized. I love seeing that."
