BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chiropractor Dr. Quinn W. Uzelman is encouraging patients to opt for long-term lifestyle changes rather than temporarily fad diets to lose weight. According to Dr. Uzelman, fad diets can ultimately lead to weight gain and may even exacerbate health problems. Dr. Uzelman recommends a combination of nutritional counseling and natural dietary supplements to help jump-start the metabolism, increase energy levels, and manage the appetite. Dr. Uzelman's practice also provides nutritional counseling to support patient's unique dietary needs as they recover from injuries or manage chronic pain.
Premier Family Chiropractic in Brentwood, TN is helping patients get in shape for summer and provide weight loss and nutritional counseling services that are designed to help patients get healthy for life.
"We recommend that our patients avoid 'lose weight quick' diets, which often backfire and lead to weight gain. Instead, our nutritional counseling and weight management program supports long-term sustained weight loss," said Dr. Uzelman.
According to Dr. Uzelman, diets that promise quick results can starve the body of vital nutrients, shutting down the metabolism. When individuals return to their normal eating habits, they quickly gain back any weight that was lost.
"Rather than starving the body, we recommend long-term, sustainable changes to dietary habits," said Dr. Uzelman. "These include nutritional supplements that are designed to safely increase energy and suppress appetite. In combination with the right balance of vitamins and nutrients, our supplements help kick-start the successful weight loss process."
The practice recommends the NanoGreens, NanoPro and NanoOmega supplements. According to the chiropractor, these supplements are specially formulated to help increase their intake of vegetables, fruits, protein and omega fatty acids. Studies show that these nutrients protect the body against cancer, relieve chronic pain and achy joints, and improve memory and bone health.
"In combination with regular activity and dietary changes, these supplements have helped our patients successfully lose weight," said Dr. Uzelman.
Dr. Uzelman also offers nutritional counseling and weight management services for patients recovering from injuries and back pain. Dietary changes, including an increase in antioxidants, can naturally reduce inflammation and chronic back pain.
He also implements ISAGENIX, a whole body nutritional cleansing program, which provides the body with over 70 vitamins and trace minerals lost due to increased use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals that decrease the nutrient value in foods.
Dr. Uzelman says that losing weight and increasing daily activity can also help relieve pressure on the joints and strengthen the spine. In addition to weight management and nutritional counseling, Dr. Uzelman provides chiropractic care, massage therapy, and holistic treatments for allergies.
Premier Family Chiropractic will be hosting a free weight loss health talk at the clinic on June 26th, which, according to Dr. Uzelman, will be focused on how to turn bodies into fat burning machines.
The wellness center serves the communities of Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill, Cool Springs and Nashville.
