Stop Cravings and Hunger
No Extreme Dieting
De-Stress for Weight Loss Success

Your initial one hour appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Helene Pulnik, individualized diet and supplement recommendations, and your initial ear acupuncture treatment.

Using very small, fine ear acupuncture needles, Dr. Pulnik will place 5 in both outer ears, on specific points that will decrease hunger and cravings, decrease stress, and stimulate metabolism. The needles are removed after 15 minutes, and small transparent ear magnets are placed on the points, for 1 week, until your next visit. During this time, you will stimulate the points at home 3 times a day with your acupuncture point stimulator.

The Program consists of weekly visits for 6 to 12 weeks for acupuncture and replacement of ear magnets, as well as monitoring your progress.

For thousands of years acupuncture has proven itself to be an effective form of treatment, for a multitude of ailments, including weight control.

*Recent studies have shown that auricular acupuncture provides greater weight loss success than with just diet alone. People throughout the world have successfully been able to achieve and maintain their desired weight level with the use of acupuncture.

So how does Acupuncture help with Weight Loss?

The ancient Chinese medicine works by targeting specific 'points' on the body that correspond with your emotions, stress levels, energy (or 'qi') and your physical body.

For weight loss, tiny ear needles are inserted in the outer ear on the points that regulate stress, hunger, the digestive systems and metabolism.

These acupuncture points work by getting your body to release feel-good endorphin chemicals in your body, suppressing cravings and hunger, and re-adjusting your qi which in turn increases your metabolism so you burn more stored fat.

The Acupuncture Weight Loss Program is offered as a 6 week plan or a 12 week plan, to help you reach your goals.

  • Fresh juice is a nutrient-dense living liquid that is absorbed almost instantly into the body (in about 15 minutes!), requiring little effort to digest and assimilate. Juicing concentrates the most nutrient-dense parts of the plants in the juice. It is almost like receiving an intravenous infusion of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that goes right into your system without having to be broken down. Because the benefits are so instantaneous, you may feel the energy boost right away after drinking fresh juice!

  •   Why it is so important to lose weight for your health:  Did you know? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one-third of US adults were obese in 2007-2008. Studies have shown that a weight loss of 5% to 10% of body weight from baseline can result in meaningful improvements in cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., lipids, blood pressure and blood glucose) and a significant reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Losing weight should not be hard, nor should it take months and years to accomplish.  It's all about taking really good care of yourself, managing your stress, exercising, and above all, following a proven program that offers you support and care.  If you are really serious about, and committed to losing the extra weight and fat, becoming healthy in both body and mind, the Wholistic HCG Medical Weight Loss & Health Program may the perfect choice for you. You can get started on the path to a healthy body at our "Get Started" education classes every week at Glastonbry Naturopathic Center.
