We live in this "microwave society" where we want everything to be fast and easy. Pharmaceutical drugs offer that. Now, the diet craze drug is GLP category as it is causing some temporary weight loss, but does it cause a lifestyle change? No, it does not. Please recall that the FDA has approved other diet drugs in the past, such as Redux, Phen-Fen and Meridia only to later take them back off the market because THEY ARE DANGEROUS. Could it be that we just have not learned all of the damaging effects of these new diet drugs? Use caution.

Chapter 2 is on Thyroid Function from the book "How to Lose Weight: While Getting Healthy-Your Guide to Alpha Weight Loss". The thyroid gland controls the metabolic rate in the body. Many people have an underactive thyroid gland and the standard medical treatment is to medicate with synthetic thyroid hormone, like Synthroid. It is not a fix it and forget it approach. Typically, there is no end in sight. Our approach is different as we seek to help the gland to function better.

Soothing Aussie female voiceover for Chapter 1-Toxicity of the new book "How to Lose Weight: While Getting Healthy." Toxins are chemicals in the body that can cause genetic mutation in our DNA and hence cancer. In fact, it is said that 80% of cancers are from this process of chemical carcinogenesis! Staggering statistics are related on the recent rise in pharmaceutical prescriptions over the past 20 years, and yet Americans' health has declined rather than improved. If Western "health care" were effective, then health would improve. It is better described as "disease management" creating perpetual customers.

Alpha Weight Loss offers detox diets as part of a weight loss program that can be done virtually.
