Lecture on Detox and Weight Loss: Can Acupuncture Really Help You Lose Weight?

By admin | Published January 5, 2019

belly-2354_1920-12-29-14Obesity remains a top concern among health professionals in the U.S. According to a study published in the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA), more than one third of adults in the U.S. are clinically obese (source). People who fall under this category are more likely to develop heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.
