Dee from Daytona Beach, FL, asked:
Hi Julie,
My daughter, aged 26, is at least 100 pounds overweight and I’m concerned for her health.
Her dad has diabetes and I am fearful this will be her eventual fate too.
Are her weight issues because of some failure on my part as her mother?
I know she knows she is overweight and doesn’t need me pointing it out. Plus, I’m afraid of hurting her.
Can you please scan her and help plant the seed for healing?
Thanks,
Dee
Hi Dee,
Thanks for your question.
Your concern for your obese child’s health is one a lot of parents share with you.
You are NOT responsible for your daughter’s weight issues. No one can control another person because no one can control what someone thinks.
New research is validating what those of us who’ve struggled with weight issues (myself included) have known for a long time. It isn’t about will power, rather, it’s something physiological that causes us to crave certain foods and eat more, even when we’re full.
In their paper, Addictive Genes and the Relationship to Obesity and Inflammation, David Heber, MD and Catherine Carpenter, PhD, researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, stated, “There is increasing evidence that the same brain reward circuits involved in perpetuating drug abuse are involved in the hedonic urges and food cravings observed clinically in overweight and obese subjects.”
In addition, the doctors found, “While the DRD2 gene increases the likelihood of food addiction and obesity, the LEP-R gene influences appetite control and has been associated with elevated levels of body fat and body composition. The joint influence of DRD2 and LEP-R could therefore predispose individuals to weight gain and obesity if risk alleles are carried from both genes.”
The good news is, proven strategies are available that can help someone dealing with obesity.
Casey Means, MD, a Stanford-educated metabolic specialist teaches how to combine foods and eliminate cravings and David Perlmutter, MD, has found controlling uric acid levels can solve obesity issues.
With a SPECT scan, Daniel Amen, MD, can identify areas of the brain responsible for addictive behavior and help heal them.
Simply getting a gut biome test and identifying the best foods for a person to eat, can help heal inflammation in the gut and promote wellness. Inflammation often originates in the gut and is the cause of most health problems.
As for your daughter, after obtaining her permission to scan her, I “saw” (in my mind’s eye), anti-inflammatory energy address the massive amounts of inflammation in her body.
That was followed by a DNA healing to help reconfigure the obesity-causing genes and help her choose foods that will support health.
Please consider scheduling an appointment for her with me.
Receiving information from a stranger is oftentimes the catalyst needed to pique a loved one’s interest in making beneficial changes.
Very helpful!
