Magnesium Gets More Attention

May 30th, 2009

Magnesium is sprouting up all over in nutritional circles as a supplement to watch. Stayed tuned in the future for specific dose recommendations, but on average most people can benefit from some supplementation. Tufts University scientists confirmed a long-felt belief that magnesium might play a role in insulin resistance and reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, which is more common as we age. Nicola McKeown, Ph.D. reported that adults consuming more magnesium were less likely to have insulin resistance.

Supplements don’t make up for poor diets, lack of exercise, and excessive weight gain. But those with a strong family history may consider taking more of this mineral.

Latisse Praise

May 21st, 2009

J.L. said, “I love it,” as she came into the office today to purchase another bottle of Latisse. “When I started my Latisse 16 weeks ago, my eyelashes were in bad shape from wearing lash extensions. When I removed them the extensions literally broke off my eyelashes.”

She went on to say,” My eyelashes were so short when I started, that I couldn’t even put on mascara.” When she came in today, she said that she now knows that her eyelashes are where she wants them as she can feel them touch the inside of her sunglasses when she blinks. J.L.said, “ Not only are my eyelashes thicker & longer, but they are now darker! I don’t even have to wear mascara anymore. I just love it.”

“Menopot” – The Additional Belly Fat Women Notice After the Onset of Menopause

May 18th, 2009

Physician and author, Pamela Peek, MD dubs the word “menopot” to refer to the body fat re-distribution that occurs with the onset of menopause in women. Strength training (lifting weights) and boosting the sluggish metabolism with cardiovascular exercise is useful to control the middle age spread. The additional benefit strength training has for women are that it also strengthens bones and reduces bone loss.

In our practice, we see that the redistribution of fat occurring in the face as well. The cheek fat drops lower in the face and the fat in the jowl area and below the chin accumulates. We have found that our LIPODISSOLVE treatments are very effective in helping correct the redistribution of fat in the face and on the body as well. LIPODISSOLVE works very well for the newly named phenomena; menopot.
