A Comprehensive Weight Loss Philosophy
Dr. Garza’s weight loss philosophy focuses on educating her patients and helping them implement the strategies they learn. She does not believe in rapid, overnight, or quick fixes – no bars, shakes, or fake food necessary. In her expert opinion, steady weight loss built around a lifestyle that can be maintained is how weight loss will last a lifetime. You will learn the role that your food plays in your hunger and why, in most cases, you don’t gain weight because you are hungry – you are hungry because you gain weight. What you eat controls your hormones, which, in turn, controls your appetite.
Three levers or methods can be used to impact weight gain and loss, and most people have a misunderstanding as to which is the most important. Given both media and conventional medicine, this is no surprise. Simply shifting your focus more to when you eat rather than what or how much will finally allow you to see the changes that you have been fighting for. What you eat does matter a large bit, and at AgeWell, you will learn the tenets of a nutritionally sound diet that is right for you. Dr. Garza takes the time to teach her patients how to take the general science-based principles and create a personalized plan to manage your weight once and for all.
