I have practiced hormone and weight optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 10 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated several medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. We discovered that as a woman enters menopause, her hormones become disrupted, causing many women to gain weight rapidly, and no matter what they do, not be able to lose it. If that has happened to you, text me at 209-345-9799. I have found that those who text me are serious about creating the body they desire. Once I receive your text, I will find a convenient time for you to speak with me. During our conversation, I will customize a gourmet weight loss menu for you, and tweak it until it works. Our menus have no caloric restrictions or frequency of meals. There is no charge! 👍 Doc
Doc, how do you set your weight?

WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION COURSE SETTING YOUR WEIGHT 101 YOUR BOTTOM WEIGHT “Doc, I read your newsletters religiously. I often read about 'setting our weight.' What does that mean exactly, and how do you do that?" "After forty-four years of health optimization practice, I can tell you that it is easier to take the weight off than to keep it off?" BOTTOM WEIGHT You've read in these newsletters that if you stay with the Meso-Menu, you will find your healthy, happy, ideal, bottom weight.
I have coached thousands of patients and clients. I have found that if they stay with the Meso-Menu, a menu that bottoms out their insulin and keeps it bottomed out for lengths of time, he or she will find their "Bottom Weight." How do we know that you have reached your Bottom Weight? If you do at least two of the Stall-Buster Menus and your weight doesn't budge, you've most likely reached your bottom weight. STALL-BUSTER MENUS
Many of my clients will do all four. "In nearly all cases, your Bottom Weight will be within the normal BMI for older adults." BMI BMI is the acronym for Body Mass Index. It is a calculated value that estimates ideal weights based on a person's height and age. "I used to believe that the BMI should have used the acronym BS." But now that thousands of my patients and clients have achieved their bottom, healthy, happy, ideal weight, it is almost always within their normal BMI for a mature woman or man. The BMI categorizes people as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
Research has found the higher your BMI, the less likely you will live to your genetic life and health span. BMI doesn't directly measure body fat and is not the only factor to consider when assessing a person's health. Your waist measurement is the most crucial determinant of health and life span. However, nearly every client I have had is fixated on weight, and very few women or men use their waist measurement as a tool. The following chart gives us an idea of our weight as mature adults based on guidelines from the National Institutes of Health and research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The other factors are mainly genetic and epigenetic. However, we can change our epigenetics by changing the lifestyle habits our parents passed down to us. A future HOPE course will introduce how to optimize our epigenetics. Epigenetics- The study of how environmental factors and behaviors can alter gene function by changing the chemicals attached to DNA. These reversible changes do not alter the DNA sequence but can affect how the body reads the DNA. Essentially, what you eat, drink, and come in contact with can change how your gene behaves. THE ROOM Once we discover our happy, ideal, bottom, healthy weight, we choose a range to maintain our weight. For example, you are five feet four inches tall and weigh 145 pounds after using the Meso-Menu. You have tried a few of the Stall Buster Menus but have yet to lower your weight below 145 successfully. Therefore, 145 is your Bottom Weight. I will now assign you a room based on your history. For example, if you consistently followed the Meso-Menu and lost weight, I would assign you the 145 to 147 room. "The key to setting your weight is to stay in your room." "For how long, Doc?" The answer is for the rest of your life, but weight rooms may shift as we age. After age 65, it's normal to lose 0.2 to 0.4 pounds of body weight every year. Since the normal BMI for someone 5'4" tall in their "Third Act" of life ranges from 145 to 157, the 145 to 147 room is appropriate for a woman. Most men, on the other hand, would be in the upper portion of their BMI range, for example, the 155 to 157 room. Yes, it is bothersome that the BMI is the same for men and women, but it does turn out to be more accurate than we believe. I find that a woman's bottom weight is usually at the lower part of normal and a man's bottom weight at the upper portion of normal BMI. In the next course, Setting Your Weight 102, I will explain how to set your weight in a room.

THIS WEEK'S US-IE While visiting Clearwater, FL, this past week, I discovered that the office manager of my main clinic for twenty years had moved to Florida after retirement and lived across from our oldest son's hotel. It's incredible how so much time passes, but love and respect never wane. She was among the few women who could scorn me, and I'd take it like a son instead of a boss. She even did this time. She said I never worked for a doctor who cared so much for his patients, and you better care every day for your current ones just like you did in the 'old' days.
