Kensington, MD (PRWEB) July 11, 2011

Thyroid conditions, hormone balance, and adrenal health have been the focus of greater patient, practitioner and media attention lately, as more people recognize the dramatic effect these issues can have on overall health.

Best-selling author and thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon will be leading a series of interactive workshops on optimal wellness for thyroid patients, and managing adrenal imbalances and stress-proofing your life at New York City’s Open Center on Saturday July 16, 2011 and Sunday July 17, 2011.

Says Shomon, “”It’s so inspiring to bring together thyroid patients and people with hormone imbalances, and help them fast-forward quickly up the learning curve, arm themselves with information they need, and put together practical plans. In today’s health care environment, if you want to feel and live well, you have to be an empowered, proactive patient, and that starts with knowledge.”

Shomon, who is the author of ten books on thyroid disease and hormonal health, including the New York Times bestseller, “The Thyroid Diet: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss,” has been on the faculty at the Open Center, New York’s Leading Center of Holistic Learning, since 2006.

Living with Thyroid Disease Workshop Helps Thyroid Patients Design a Personalized Wellness Plan

On Saturday July 16, 2011, the all-day, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. interactive “Living with Thyroid Disease: Creating Your Wellness Plan” workshop will be held at the New York Open Center.

The workshop focuses on developing hands-on, practical tools and approaches to help thyroid patients feel and live well, despite an underactive or nonfunctional thyroid. By the end of the workshop, participants have mapped out personalized plans for optimal wellness.

Most people with thyroid disease (whether it’s Hashimoto’s, nodules, Graves’/hyperthyroidism, or thyroid cancer) end up with an underactive or surgically removed thyroid and hypothyroidism, and wind up experiencing fatigue, depression, weight gain, hormonal problems and many other symptoms.

The “Living with Thyroid Disease” workshop will help participants identify the key things they can do to feel and live better with an underactive thyroid. The areas covered in the workshop will include:

optimizing thyroid treatment
understanding thyroid medications and hormone treatments, including bioidentical hormones
finding doctors for thyroid issues
managing thyroid-related fatigue and boosting energy
helpful supplements, herbs and nutrition
yoga breathing for metabolism and stress reduction
lifestyle changes and stress management
optimal exercise approaches
weight-loss and diet for thyroid patients
hair loss solutions
thyroid-related hormonal challenges, such as fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding, perimenopause and menopause

To make the experience even more effective, and help participants put together their personalized wellness action plan, workshop attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their recent blood test results for discussion, and a list of all the medications and supplements (with all the ingredients) they’re taking.

Shomon’s special guest presenter during the afternoon session of Saturday’s workshop will be Manhattan-based integrative physician David Borenstein, MD, who will be sharing his approach to thyroid diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Borenstein has been in private practice in the New York City area for a number of years, working with patients who have thyroid, autoimmune, adrenal, and other hormone imbalances.

The “Living with Thyroid Disease: Creating Your Wellness Plan” workshop is $ 120 for Open Center members, and $ 130 for nonmembers. In addition, the day of the workshop, participants will need to pay an additional $ 10 materials fee directly to Mary Shomon to cover the cost of the comprehensive workshop information materials package. Registration with the Open Center is by telephone at 212.219.2527 or online at:

The Stress-Buster Plan Workshop: Helps With Adrenal Balance, Exercise, Relaxation, and Protecting the Body Against the Effects of Stress

Stress, perhaps the greatest threat to health in contemporary life, can be caused by a wide range of factors: toxins in our air, water and food; poor dietary choices and nutritional deficiencies; chronic bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infections; and lifestyle issues such as insufficient sleep, lack of exercise (or for some, overexercising); and chronic worry and anxiety.

The first points of vulnerability in the body are the adrenal glands, which can become exhausted, followed by the immune system in general, which can weaken. This opens us up to all sorts of imbalances and ailments. This workshop offers a realistic, practical, gentle but highly effective approach to reducing stress and resolving adrenal and immune system issues.

On Sunday, July 17, 2011, from 10 am to 5:30 am, this innovative workshop will bring together three health educators to help participants learn how to deal with stress inside and out. Thyroid advocate Mary Shomon will focus on identifying physical, emotional and environmental stressors, as well as the medical and nutritional approaches to adrenal insufficiency. Exercise physiologist Teresa Tapp will teach some fast, effective — yet less taxing — fitness moves that can be easily incorporated into busy lives as part of everyday activities without causing fatigue or adrenal burnout. Stress management guru Lisa Moretti will share guided imagery, deep breathing, tapping and other techniques that can bring relaxation in minutes, and protect against the long-term negative effects of stress.

Workshop participants will leave with a personalized Stress-Buster Plan, featuring practical approaches they can implement right away to help manage stress, relax, and optimize wellness.

The “Stress-Buster Plan Workshop” workshop is $ 125 for Open Center members, and $ 135 for nonmembers. Registration with the Open Center is by telephone at 212.219.2527 or online at:

Question by mhashna: does drinking green tea help lose weight?
does drinking green tea help you lose weight? if so, why, and how much?

Best answer:

Answer by Imaka
There is some research to suggest that it may slightly increase metabolism, which means that over the long term it would help. Most likely two or three cups a day would be plenty. But without calorie control and exercise it will not make much difference.

Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss designed a diet that will shed unwanted weight in a hurry without abnormal hunger and fatigue. The Diet Doc Single Diet is one that many single people use to shed unwanted weight in a hurry without abnormal hunger.

Diet Doc HCG Diet is the only modern day prescription, doctor-supervised diet in the USA. Weight loss is a complex medical condition that requires the help of a weight loss doctor. Many people simply don’t understand that very few doctors have the time, desire or appropriate training to help patients lose weight reports Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss.

Dieting literally can be easier to do than dating, but unlike dating, losing weight can be easier than ever experienced before report Wright. How it works is the dieter completes their new patient paperwork designed to help the diet doctor understand possible underlying challenges the dieter might experience. The questions are asked in such a way that it helps Diet Doc Doctors and Nurses to personalize a HCG diet for each individual. A few weight loss products which are clinically designed as mini weight loss products are also included, as well as unlimited support when the dieter has a question or their weight loss slows down report Wright.

To have a fulfilling dating life one must look at themselves and feel worthy that someone else could also want them the same way. Many times people have not been successful dieting and their body mass index goes over what is considered normal. This isn’t to say those individuals are not beautiful, but to feel good about oneself, often it takes losing the unwanted weight to feel on top of their game reports Wright.

Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss can help. They have helped thousands lose weight successfully and are the only modern-day version of the 1950 Dr. Simeons diet.

Diet Doc HCG Diet and Weight Loss is passionate about helping people reduce their weight to avoid certain diseases and health conditions associated with being overweight. Diet Doc wants to keep their comprehensive, medically, supervised weight loss program affordable to many people, not just a select few. We often hear people comment that our pricing model is half of what other doctors are charging reports Wright. This is because our mission is to help people lose weight, train them on what specific foods will cause a weight loss reaction in their body.

Diet Doc HCG is the answer to turning bodies from a rough draft into a master piece. Diet Doc has the resources, knowledge and time to help each and every person realize their weight loss goal. Why make a New Years resolution to joining the gym when you can call the dedicated weight loss team who is trained in doctor-designed dieting and losing rapid weight fast. Diet Doc hCG Diet is your solution to dating and long term weight loss for the new year.

Park City, UT (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

When diet and exercise dont deliver a well-toned body a Body Lift may be just what the doctor ordered.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the goal of a Body Lift is to improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. This body contouring procedure generally includes the removal of droopy, excess skin which results from massive weight loss and/or poor skin or tissue elasticity and fat removal.

The ASPSs Report of the 2010 Plastic Surgery Statistics shows that the number of body contouring procedures performed has been on the rise. In 2009, nearly 49,000 related procedures were performed. In 2010, that number jumped to 52,603.

As a result, LipoSite.com has added a Body Lift Overview to its list of free web articles.

Loose, saggy skin and less-than-ideal contours arent uncommon, says Shawn Miele, a LipoSite.com representative.

People reach a certain age. Theyre left with post-pregnancy bodies theyre unhappy with. They lose and regain weight. Eventually, their bodies have trouble bouncing back.

Body Lift surgery firms up trouble spots and restores proportion to the contours along their butts, thighs, stomach and upper arms. The results are noticeable immediately and generally last a lifetime. Most people find that the physical improvements from body lift also lead to a better emotional state and more confidence

LipoSite.com has been committed to consumer education since its launch in 1998.

Its important that consumers understand what theyre getting themselves into, explains Miele. We want them to arrive at a plastic surgeons office well-informed.

So, what is a Body Lift?

A Body Lift is a blend of body contouring procedures which address a variety of patient concerns all at once. Typically it includes a Thigh Lift, Upper Arm Lift, Lower Body Lift, Mastopexy (Breast Lift), Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) and/or Liposuction.

The primary goal of a Body Lift is to remove excess skin. With the addition of liposuction excess fat is removed, as well.

Miele says candidates can make the most of Body Lift surgery by working closely with a board-certified plastic surgeon who offers proof of positive outcomes Tummy Tuck photos, photos of other related procedures and Liposuction before and after photos.

More importantly, he says, your doctor should place emphasis on the procedures, preparation steps and post-operative plans which are appropriate to your needs and lifestyle. You can help by maintaining a health weight and exercising afterward.

For more information about Body Lifts and other plastic surgery procedures, visit LipoSite.com.

About LipoSite.com: What began as a girlfriend-to-girlfriend resource for information about plastic surgery after weight loss (in 1998) has grown into a full-fledged resource. Consumers can read articles about liposuction and related procedures, search our board-certified surgeon database and verify doctor credentials online for free 24/7.
