Weight Loss

The weight loss acupuncture treatment at Raleigh Acupuncture helps you lose weight and keep the weight off. Our treatment results from 16 years of intensive research and experience with hundreds of patients. And it works.

The Problem

Do you gain weight even when you are eating normal amounts of food? Do you feel tired and lack the motivation to exercise? Do you depend on food for comfort? Do you have uncontrollable hunger or cravings? Do you have food constantly on your mind?

Are you feeling sad, frustrated, and depressed from weight gain or not being able to drop pounds? Do you want to love how you look? Do you want to have more energy? Do you want to have more self-esteem and confidence? If you answer “YES” to one or more of these questions, we have a weight loss solution for you.

The Solution – Weight Loss Acupuncture

From a Chinese Medicine and acupuncture point of view, being overweight is due to your digestive system not working correctly, leading to an imbalance in the body. Therefore, you can stop blaming yourself for your lack of self-control. It is not your fault. The imbalance in your body causes all the symptoms you are experiencing, making it difficult to lose weight.

When your body is in harmony, you feel hungry only at mealtimes and feel satisfied with the proper amount of food. As a result, you have the energy and motivation to enjoy life. You enjoy eating but are not dependent on food for comfort and happiness.

The Details

One reason people have a hard to losing weight is that their digestive function is weak. In Chinese medicine, we call this Spleen Qi deficiency. The solution is to use acupuncture to strengthen your body’s Spleen Qi, allowing you to digest food more efficiently. When this happens, you will get more energy from your food.

Of course, weight loss acupuncture is just one of the essential ingredients in successful weight management. Good food choices and nutrition coupled with moderate exercise are also important. Another critical area that’s important for long-term weight control is being able to manage stress in your life. Acupuncture is well suited to help with this.

The Stress Factor

When we are stressed, we hold that stress in our bodies. For many of us, that internal stress taxes our digestive system. It leads to more than just “stress eating,” although that can play a part. The stress damages our stomach’s ability to digest properly.

Acupuncture works well to help us manage stress better. By getting the Qi (energy) to flow smoothly through our bodies, acupuncture helps us be more flexible. We become more like a willow tree in a storm instead of an old, brittle oak. Bending with the pressures of life keeps the stress at bay, not letting it get stuck inside of us. This flexibility not only improves our mood – but also protects our digestive system.

What To Expect

When you come for weight loss acupuncture, we will conduct an intake. The questions we ask will help us understand your digestion, health issues, stress and emotional issues in your life, and any other factors affecting your overall health.

We then create a treatment plan to improve your health, and specifically your digestive health. This plan will naturally lead to weight loss.

What our Clients are Saying

I have been a long time client and friend of Jinmei and Mark. I came to learn of their practice from a friend of mine who had remarkably lost a great deal of weight, when I asked how he achieved this accomplishment he pointed me to their practice. This goes back to 2008; my initial success with their program for weight loss was very quick and lasting. Jinmei always made a point to see how I was doing not only in the area of weight loss which initially brought me in but also she always was treating the total me asking about any concerns that she could help me with. I strongly recommend their practice; you will not find more results oriented, concerned or caring acupuncture practitioners.
