My Family Doctor
A family practitioner for over 25 years, Dr. Hubbard knows the medical world inside and out. Frustrated by managed care and the lack of time doctors were able to spend educating patients, he launched James Hubbard's My Family Doctor: The Magazine That Makes Housecalls, a national magazine written by health care practitioners that is his answer to hurried doctor visits, conflicting medical studies, and complicated treatment options.
Eight Reasons for Weight Gain That Aren’t Your Fault!
Can’t lose weight? Maybe this is why . . .
We came up with eight good reasons you’re not losing weight. Well, maybe.
The truth is, most of us can lose weight and keep it off if we do the right things. But every once in a while, there really is a good reason those pounds just won’t come off.
In “8 Reasons for Weight Gain That Aren’t Your Fault!” we list signs, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments for a variety of causes. Yes, family history and medicine are two of them. But did you know lack of sleep might contribute to weight gain? Stress and depression can too. And there are serious diseases, such as underactive thyroid and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which are important to get diagnosed.
So check ‘em out. If they don’t speak to you, maybe they’ll ring true for a friend. Then it’s a question of how to delicately forward the article.
Good luck with that!
