What really is the American Diet? We are truly the worlds original melting pot of people. All nationalities are represented here. Having a mix of all different nationalities has given us a sort of a food identity crisis. The Mediterranean Diet is considered the gold standard of the healthiest diets, yet Japan and its citizens are known to have an extraordinary life expectancy. There was a study called the “Comparison of the Impact of the Mediterranean Diet, Anti-Inflammatory Diet, Seventh-Day Adventist Diet, and Ketogenic Diet Relative to Cognition and Cognitive Decline” – PubMed (nih.gov). In this case, studies showed that people who lived the longest were pescatarians (plant-based eating that includes a small amount of fish). We live in an age when we can get information about literally everything right in the palm of our hand, and yet we are one of the sickest nations in the world.

Globally the United States is considered the unhealthiest country of all. The top three killers in the U.S. are, in this order, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Unsurprisingly all three of these illnesses are also known to be affected by our diet and what we consume. Nationally, 39 % (in women) to 41.9 percent of adults are considered obese. Those numbers continue to grow every year, I know personally, I have been arguing with my body about my weight, shape, and size since I was a pre-teen.

I was raised with the concept that weight and weight management is really just a math problem, this is one of the many of the things I learned about dieting that was wrong. Calories in my body, minus calories expended by any kind of movement, when I reach a calorie deficit then I would begin to lose weight. The Math and the charts told me that as woman I need 2,200 calories a day to maintain my current body weight. (a man caloric intake would be 2,700.) So, math says that if I eat less than 2,200 calories a day, I should lose weight. So, I should be able to eat 2 Western Bacon Cheeseburgers from Carl’s Jr. (total of 1,520 calories) a day and lose weight. That is a big fat lie, that was the beginning of a lifetime of stories, myths and general misinformation about fat, weight, healthy habits and the d word; “diets”. In the next year we here at Med Aesthetics along with Advanced Medical Weight loss are going to talk (or write) about the latest studies, latest medical developments, what works, what doesn’t work and why.

I have spent a lifetime in search of how to lose weight and keep it off, what is healthy, what diets work, what doesn’t and why. I have gone to school in pursuit of this information from the science of the skin and body. Aesthetics license, massage training, Registered Dietitian training, health coach education, holistic health practitioner license/training. Completed studies on how to read DNA graphs, how DNA affects outcome, medical courses that was entirely on fat. (Turns out there are year long courses on the study of fat, from your brain to your bones)

Gina has focused her energies on fitness training, the science of exercise, healthy lifestyle choices and how to integrate all of that into daily life while still being family friendly. She can take the theories from the books and bring it to life in a very practical way. All the information in the world is great but when it isn’t practical or can’t translate to real life, real families, then nothing happens, nothing changes.

Of course, all of our doctors bring clinical medical-based options that range of Poly-peptides like Trizepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) and Semaglutides (Wagovey, Ozempic) to appetite suppressants and fat burners. Every one of our doctors not only keep up with the latest clinical studies, but many of them teach other professionals on best practices with the obesity medicine, wellness to what available from the pharmaceutical industry that is are medically safe, clinically reliable for real results.
