PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
PREVENTING SURGERY
- Dr. Cywes is a surgeon.
- He does many bariatric surgeries — gastric bypass surgeries.
- However, he only does surgeries when they’re necessary.
- Surgery is not an alternative to a lifestyle change.
- We can PREVENT surgeries through lifestyle changes, like healthy, low-carb eating.
- Dr. Cywes does see a good number of children getting gastric bypass-like surgeries.
- Surgeries *can* be a necessary step for changing one’s life.
- But really, we’re seeing kids begin insulin resistance at age 5.
- THIS is what we need to change.
MENTAL HEALTH CRISES
- Eating carbohydrates and consuming nicotine are used by kids as way to cope with emotional problems.
- Many kids use these drugs because they are riddled with anxiety.
- We can help these feelings — drugs like sugar and nicotine are NOT answers, they just do more harm.
- We need to discuss the mental health epidemic among young people.
- Obesity is a substance abuse problem.
