Acupuncture for Weight Loss Bellevue

Acupunture for Weight Loss Bellevue, WA!

Acupunture for weight loss is a thing!  And it works.  At Hope Spring Acupuncture, we've developed a specialized acupuncture program specifically for weight loss.  Our program entails regular acupuncture sessions, typically 2-3 times per week, spanning a period of 3-6 months. The frequency may be adjusted based on your progress. Each session incorporates Electroacupuncture and Moxibustion techniques, complemented by herbal medicine to enhance effectiveness.


How Does Acupuncture for Weight Loss Work?

In Chinese Medicine, excess weight is often attributed to imbalances in metabolism and energy flow. Acupuncture addresses these imbalances by stimulating metabolism, reducing cravings, alleviating anxiety, and improving sleep quality. Our licensed acupuncturists ensure the safety and efficacy of each session.

​

During your initial visit, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of your medical history and current health status to design a personalized weight loss plan. We collaborate with you to establish achievable goals and track your progress through regular body weight and measurement assessments.

​

Follow-up sessions include a body weight check, brief discussion, and a 30-minute acupuncture session. We employ sterile stainless steel needles at specific acupuncture points, supplemented by moxibustion therapy to further enhance metabolism. Auricular acupressure seeds are applied to help manage cravings.

 

Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals a troubling trend: in 22 states across the US, over 35% of adults are grappling with obesity. Alarmingly, this figure continues to climb, with states like Alabama and Alaska surpassing the 40% mark.

​

However, obesity isn't just a number on the scale—it's a precursor to numerous health complications. The CDC has identified several risks associated with obesity, including heightened mortality rates, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, and various cancers. Additionally, obesity can lead to decreased quality of life, mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, and physical ailments like joint pain and breathing difficulties.

​

While weight loss is a primary focus of our program, we prioritize holistic well-being. Participants often report increased energy levels, reduced stress, enhanced mental clarity, and improved overall bodily function. We recognize the potential risks associated with rapid weight loss, such as muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies, and strive to promote a gradual and sustainable approach.

​

We advise against attending sessions on an empty stomach to prevent lightheadedness and encourage hydration post-treatment for detoxification.

​

At Hope Spring Acupuncture, we're committed to supporting your journey towards sustainable weight loss and improved health outcomes. Join us in prioritizing holistic well-being and reclaiming vitality.
