Wellness Program after Weight Loss Surgery in Los Angeles

Los Angeles Weight Loss and Wellness

Many practices exist in Los Angeles to serve clients who wish to lose weight. They are large and small, independent and those affiliated with larger health-care companies. Many do not present holistic and comprehensive solutions — some clinics even perform weight loss surgery and then don't provide post-surgery care — but luckily some do.

LA Bariatric Center does. We are a weight loss clinic in Marina Del Rey, and we believe in caring for our patients from day one. Providing excellent care is good business, good medicine and we are proud to treat our patients like family.

Weight loss surgery is a major step in your voyage to better health — but it's only one of the first steps. A lot of planning and effort go into a healthful lifestyle. We recognize that the postoperative period can be tricky as you adjust to new habits, new activities — a new lifestyle. We want you to succeed. We will support you at every turn.

Perspective from the Wellness Coordinator

My philosophy on weight loss is that it should involve a positive life-style change and should not involve starvation. Starvation diets do not work and this is supported by scientific evidence. Instead, good health and weight-loss can only be achieved by eating whole, natural foods that are combined in the proper proportions that must be determined by each individual’s dietary needs. Dieting isn’t a one- size fit all endeavor and everyone is different. Physical activity is also a key part of a healthy life-style and weight management.

I have always loved to cook and I have found great joy in nourishing people close to me with wonderful, traditional, and home made food. Nutritional guidelines recommended by government agencies have certainly been evolving over the past 40 years and I have been increasingly interested in all the newest science regarding healthful diets. I love Southern California’s Farmer Markets and the whole food movement that embraces our community. After engaging with the local farmers and seeking out current knowledge about ideal foods, I am convinced that the best diet is one that consists of organic, seasonal, and local, ingredients that are properly prepared, preferably made at home. However, I believe a persons’ specific nutritional needs are individual, what may be the perfect diet for one person may not translate at all to another.

Movement is also a main ingredient in my life. I have been practicing yoga for the past 15 years. Also, I love hiking through the mountains, swimming, biking, and running. A meditation practice has become an essential part of my daily routine. I find it helps with stress and over-all wellbeing. I believe that everyone must feed themselves with experiences and new knowledge.

Self-care helps us to be our best and can make and improve our quality of life. As you can see, food and health have been my passion and I look forward to sharing my knowledge.

A votre santé,
Ann
