Congratulations to Our Patient Who Lost 35 Pounds in 6 Months

acupuncture, Chinese medicine, detoxification, nutrition, Sacramento, weight loss, wellness Comments Off on Congratulations to Our Patient Who Lost 35 Pounds in 6 Months

We’re happy to bring you a powerful story from one of our patients who has lost an impressive 35 pounds in the past six months.

Congratulations to Karen for losing 35 pounds in six months

In her first ever experience with the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach, she was able to make great progress in healing her body and experienced a variety of health benefits.

She credits her treatments at our clinic for helping her, including acupuncture for weight loss, a 3-week detoxification program and yeast cleansing protocol.

We’d like to congratulate Karen, from Sacramento, on her accomplishment and thank her for sharing her story with us on our website. Here’s her story in her own words:

Working with Jennifer, these past 6 months, has been my first experiences with a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach. I came to her for a hormone imbalance, expecting she’d use needles once or twice, some herbs and I’d be back to normal, lickity split. Well, what I discovered was she was willing to not just fix the symptom, but give me an opportunity to heal my body. I have had to trust her and have an open mind and patience. It takes us years to get into our current physical state, why shouldn’t it take some months to heal ourselves?

The last couple of months she’s guided me to detoxify my body using a variety of methods, such as vitamin, herbal powdered drinks, food selection and elimination, mineral supplements, acupuncture and something called, moxibustion. (Come see her to find out about that!)

The beginning of the process, I experienced the surprising side effects of easily awakening in the morning alert and energetic, a significant decrease in my hay fever, and my excess 50 pounds of weight slowly shedding. (With only walking 20 minutes a few days a month, I’ve lost 35 lbs.) It’s been challenging along the way, but Jennifer has been there to answer my many questions, provide support and encouragement, as well as tweak the treatment plan so the side effects are minimal. We are now addressing the hormone imbalance and in time, I’ll be fine, I’m sure of that! I’ve also learned that I can follow thru and delay, gratification, to aid my healing. This experience has boosted my self confidence! It’s a journey well taken.

Thanks Chen-Jung (Jennifer)
Karen Weisstein, M.S., Sacramento
December, 2010

Helping patients like Karen feel better and improve their health is the greatest reward for us, which is why we’re so happy to bring this story to you.

If you’d like to start improving your health too, don’t hesitate to contact Jennifer today to find out how our acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments can help you.

Women Find Acupuncture for Fertility Helpful and Relaxing

acupuncture, Chinese medicine, fertility, news, Sacramento 20 Comments »

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine have been used successfully to help women become pregnant for thousands of years, and the treatment is growing in popularity across the United States.

Using acupuncture points, acupuncturists are able to help women relax and balance their bodies’ energy, to help them conceive, as the news video below discusses.

A lot of patients may be afraid of acupuncture needles at first, but the process is actually relatively painless and relaxing, as the patients in the video explain.

More and more women seem to be asking for acupuncture to help with fertility problems, and our Carmichael clinic is the perfect place to contact for treatment or simply more information for women in the Sacramento area.

One of the patients in the video is a woman who enjoys running, but found that it may have limited her ability to concieve. After a few weeks of acupuncture treatment, her body began to work more naturally.

Video Shows A Zebra Ran by Our Clinic

Sacramento Comments Off on Video Shows A Zebra Ran by Our Clinic

Normally we only write about acupuncture and health related topics, but this story has had a very unique impact on our community in the Sacramento area and our clinic.

Recently we noticed a news story almost everyone in Carmichael seems to be talking about: two zebras got loose and were running on local streets this past Saturday.

But we were surprised when we saw a video that showed one of them running down Fair Oaks Boulevard, right by our acupuncture clinic in Carmichael!

The pictures below are taken from the video, which we aren’t including here because it has some harsh language (but you can easily find it if you search).

You can see our clinic on the right side. Look for the green roof and red sign.

Here you can barely see the zebra running at the intersection of Stanley Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard. Can you recognize it?

Here you can see the zebra running on Fair Oaks Boulevard, just down the street from the clinic.

How Acupuncture for Weight Loss Works

acupuncture, Sacramento, weight loss 1 Comment »

Here’s a great news story by ABC about how acupuncture can help with weight loss.

The method described in this story is suppressing cravings for foods like sweets or chocolate, and also reducing stress which can lead to impulsive eating, overeating or not eating healthy.

Needles are also not always required, because small seeds can be placed in the ears to stimulate acupuncture points.

“People who practice acupuncture believe when a person overeats, it’s because the body is out of balance. The goal behind this ancient art is to restore balance by freeing up blocked energy channels called meridians,” the story says.

If you’re interested in treatment, be sure to drop by our Sacramento area clinic to set up an appointment for acupuncture for weight loss.

You can read a text version of the story here at abc7.com.
