BodyLogicMD’s Hormone Therapy Blog

According to Sacramento bioidentical hormones expert Dr. Bob Ghelfi of BodyLogicMD, the health care crisis isn’t in Washington, it’s in our kitchens!

Nearly two-thirds (66%) of U.S. adults age 20 or older are overweight, 50% of which are so overweight that they are considered obese. The prevalence of obesity in America has increased exponentially over the years among all genders, racial and ethnic groups, despite mounting concern on the issue. Recent studies have shown that Americans are twice as likely to become obese than Europeans and have a much higher chance of developing chronic disease such as atherosclerosis, cancer and diabetes.

“The fact is, the reason that our children are so overweight is because we’re overweight,” shares Dr. Ghelfi of BodyLogicMD. “The reason that our children are not thriving the way they should be and the reason that diabetes is so prevalent in today’s youth is because they’re watching us watch television, they see us going to the grocery store and purchasing foods that we shouldn’t be eating, they see the poor lifestyle choices that we’re making as adults and they in turn take on many of the same damaging habits” continues Ghelfi.

“It’s our duty as parents to set an example for our children that they can benefit from. It’s our responsibility to lead a legacy that encourages promotes health and wellness.”

Here’s a great video of Dr. Ghelfi discussing the health care crisis that according to him, we’ve created for ourselves.
