Helping Out is A Good Thing

Especially When it Comes to the Cure

We ran into a friend who suggested we host a Botox party… our first thought was, “Do we need Botox?” Are we really “there”? Then we looked at her face—she’s got the skin of a 25-year-old and not a wrinkle in sight. There’s something to be said for that.

She also has a flat tummy (which we haven’t had since the 6th grade) and thin thighs. We might have to hate her. But instead, we’re looking to improve our self-image by improving our physical self. (And trust—we’ve done enough soul-searching and emotional growing to know that no matter how many times we say no to cupcakes or yes to 10 more reps at the gym, we can’t fight the power of natural aging without a little help.)

So we turn to Aesthetic Medicine - and we’re thrilled to share that they are a proud partner of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Dr. Darm has made a year-round pledge of platinum-level partnership to the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. And this year marks the 20^th Annual Komen Portland Race for the Cure, happening on September 18.

Be safe, be informed, and be happy with yourself. But if you want to make changes—for yourself and for others, check out Dr. Darm’s medical weight-loss program by clicking here, and sign up for the Race for the Cure by clicking here.

Dr. Darm Medical Weight Loss

Dr. Darm and Medical Weight Loss

At Aesthetic Medicine, our philosophy is to provide comprehensive treatment for weight loss, focusing on permanent lifestyle changes for the body and mind.

There are five major components of our program which create more success and differentiate it from other weight loss programs:

1. Meal Replacements
2. Behavior Modification Training
3. Medical Supervision: Physician, Registered Dietitian, and Medical Assistants
4. Exercise
5. Maintenance Program

Meal Replacements:

Benefits of meal replacements

• Decision free – client doesn’t have to make a lot of choices, plan meals, shop for food, etc.

• Gives client a break from current eating behaviors and relationship with food while learning new skills.

• On an average, more than 3 times as much weight is lost and maintained using meal replacements compared with traditional diets.

• Average weight loss on a “meal replacement only” program is 3lbs. per week. Such a weight loss can rapidly improve obesity related medical conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol and triglycerides.

• Meal replacements improve dietary compliance, decrease hunger, and allow optimal nutrition intake at a lower calorie value.

Behavior Modification Training:

• Weekly classes are designed to teach skills necessary to become an effective self-manager, instead of relying on willpower.

• Classes include such topics as: planning, environmental control, emotional eating, self-talk, building support, body image, portion control, physical activity, as well as healthy eating.

Medical Supervision:

• Our staff are professionals trained in the weight loss field: Dr. Jerry Darm MD – Medical Director, Nancie Fisher RD – Registered Dietitian, Marge Norman RD – Registered Dietitian, and Molly Webb MA – Medical Assistant.

• What is monitored? Medications, appetite suppression, body composition analysis, lab draws, blood pressure and EKG. We also coordinate your progress with you primary care physician.

Exercise:

• Exercise is one of the major predictors of successful weight loss and, even more importantly, weight maintenance.

• Our goal is to train clients to incorporate physical activity into any lifestyle, understand its importance, and learn to enjoy it!

Maintenance:

• Clients entering maintenance for one year and classes available to them for continued healthy behaviors for a lifetime.
