February News from Dr. Paul Berger
BIG NEWS: I have a medical partner!
Dr Phil Weber, who has been a mentor for me since I moved to Colorado from my residency in Idaho , has decided to join our practice. (I guess he is proud of his work!) Although we practice very similar medicine, he has been practicing Family Practice in Boulder for over 30 years, and adds a few dimensional additions to our holistic practice: He practices and teaches Tibetan Medicine, including acupuncture and Tibetan herbs!
I know, we already have an acupuncturist in our clinic, Drew Henderson, but Dr Weber isn't necessarily looking to do that more acupuncture than he is already doing, and his style is different from Drew's so please, feel free to see either one. n.b. Drew will be much easier to get in to see!
In this issue… My wife has offered you some more those wonderful recipes that keep me from wanting to lose any weight… so feel free to try them, but keep in mind, they are rather addicting… you know, even though I espouse to you that gluten is a highly irritating substance to so many of us…and to seek alternatives to all the glutens, simply switching over to rice flour and still creating luscious high carb, processed rice flour and other grain delectable's isn't necessarily good for avoiding insulin resistance (let alone weight…)
Once again, as I have told most of you, my philosophy is that we need to make VEGETABLES –the colorful ones, the basis of our diet… and garnish it with healthy portions of protein and “healthy” fats (ie fats that have not been heated up!... like cold-pressed olive oil, flax oil avocados etc…
So watch the carbs, and remember, if you are an athlete and training vigorously, then you CAN afford more carbs than what I am espousing for most of us. The right diet for you may not be the right diet for your spouse of friend!! We are all individuals, and you may need to see me, Charley Cropley, Brigitte Mars, or another trainer or nutritionist to find the individual program that is best for you.
