Weight Management and Metabolism

Weight management is not simply a matter of calories in vs. calories out. Hormones, stress, gut health, sleep, inflammation, and neurotransmitter function all play significant roles in how the body stores and burns fat. When these systems are dysregulated, willpower and diet alone are often insufficient.

Acupuncture addresses several of the physiological factors involved in weight management: regulating cortisol (which drives fat storage, particularly abdominal), improving thyroid function, supporting gut motility and microbiome health, and reducing the stress and emotional patterns that drive eating behavior.

We look at your specific pattern — whether it's hormonal, stress-driven, metabolic, or digestive — and build a plan that addresses your specific physiology rather than applying a generic approach.
