Review

Obesity is one of the most common problems from which many Americans suffer and is also a cofactor in many other diseases. Chinese medicine provides another way to help people struggling with this problem. Juliette Aiyana's new book, Chinese Medicine and Healthy Weight Management, includes the best of modern nutritional research and therapy along with all the different modalities of Chinese medicine and how overweight patients can benefit from the wisdom of both systems. I highly recommend her book to all acupuncture and oriental medicine practitioners. Juliette's book will also help us educate our patients about healthy eating and lifestyle habits.

Product Description

This clever little volume is designed for practitioners of acupuncture and Oriental medicine, but it is written in a style the layperson can understand and utilize. This book combines the best of Western biochemical knowledge about weight and weight control along with everything Chinese medicine has to say about this subject. The book provides detailed information on healthy diet, weight loss, weight management, how to eat for more energy, better digestion, and all the other parameters of good health. Juliette gives many case histories about how the Chinese use herbal medicine and acupuncture to assist in healthy weight management and a breakdown of the most common patterns of disharmony a practitioner will see in clinical practice. Over 50% of all Americans are overweight. The useful information in this book can help these patients who want and need to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight without crazy fads or yo-yo diets. This book teaches effective techniques for counseling patients about eating a healthy, nutritional and energetic diet. It explains how a practitioner can integrate Chinese medical nutritional therapy and Western nutritional science and how to blend NIH and TCM standards for the treatment of overweight and obesity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thorough & Useful Reference, June 14, 2007
This review is from: Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management (Paperback)
This book is very well researched and yet does NOT come off as a dry boring read. On the contrary, it is very accessible and well thought out. The epidemic of obesity in this country is appalling and it is wonderful that there has now been a body of information compiled to help those of us in Chinese Medicine help our patients overcome this devastating condition. Another nice feature is that it truly is an integrative approach, incorporating the most recent findings in Western medicine as well as recent acupuncture research. There is information that would be useful to give to patients directly as well as more clinical research that will be helpful in treatment planning - whether it be from a TCM, Five Element, or Western background. I definitely recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It!!!, June 21, 2007
By Steven Fazio (Tampa, Fl) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management (Paperback)
I'm pleased I took a chance on this book. The writing and organization made it easy for me to grasp the concepts and helped me see my weight and body in a new way. Aiyana was never condescending or negative. Every question I had was answered in the book and she addressed things I hadn't even thought of. The book wasn't a reworking of the same things I've read about for years. The author gave fresh insights and new information.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, June 14, 2007
By Anna Segreto (Naples, Fl) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management (Paperback)
At last, a comprehensive, no-nonsense approach to weight management. Written by an acupunturist, this book not only approaches weight management from a chinese medicine perspective, but incorporates western medicine as well. The author takes into consideration the fact that acupunture patients are most familiar with western medicine and her approach to the subject of weight management uses the approaches of chinese medicine in a way that is extremely compatible with the patients treated by acupuncturists in the US and western countries. Written for the practioner, it neverthelss contains invaluable information for anyone seeking an approach to weight management, nutrition, general health and well being.
