Top Sierra Tucson Docs to Present at Mindfulness Conference This Week


PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

This week, experts, thought leaders and health professionals will gather in the Phoenix area (Goodyear) for a national conference on mindfulness, one of the most popular new treatment approaches in the field of psychotherapy. The Art & Science of Mindfulness & Counseling: A Revolution of the Heart conference will be held May 16-19, 2012 at the Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa, and will feature two Sierra Tucson physicians, Robert Johnson, D.O., Medical Director, and James Duffy, M.D., Psychiatrist and Chief of Integrative Medicine, along with Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., a renowned expert in the mindfulness field. The conference is hosted by FACES Conferences, a leading provider of education and conferences dedicated to mindfulness.

Over the last three decades we have helped support and give a voice to a variety of mental health movements, reads the FACES website. In all that time, we have never seen a mental health movement with the potential of the mindfulness movement.

The benefits of mindfulness are becoming more known and appreciated nationally in many facets of wellness and recovery. Mindfulness practices hold promise not only for personal development, but also as powerful tools to augment virtually every form of psychotherapy.

Sierra Tucsons Dr. Johnson, a Board Certified Psychiatrist & Addictionologist, will present Meds, Mindfulness, and More: The Neurobiological Case for a More Integrative Approach to the Treatment of Depression, in which hell discuss the controversies around the effectiveness of psychotropic medication versus placebo, how the industry came to embrace such a narrow approach to the treatment of psychiatric illness, and the emerging neuroscientific data about the benefits of a broader and more integrative approach to psychiatric treatment. He will specifically discuss the neurobiological benefits of various somatic, experiential, psychotherapeutic, coaching, and complementary/alternative approaches for the treatment of major depression.

There is a growing line of evidence that the therapies that work whether medication, psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, somatic treatments, or experiential therapies may share common psychobiological mechanisms, said Dr. Johnson. We are beginning to gain a greater understanding at a neurobiological level of the nature of the mind/body relationship. Even though antidepressant medications can be very helpful, given what we know about their potential toxicities and limitations, there is a strong, emerging scientific argument to be made about the value of a more integrative and broad-based approach to the treatment of depression.

Sierra Tucsons Dr. Duffy will present The 5 Medicines: A Practical Model of Integrative Mental Healthcare, in which hell describe the significant challenges to incorporating integrative medicine approaches into clinical practice including the avalanche of new research data that clinicians must sort through in the face of limited time and resources. The workshop will present a practical model for providing integrative mental healthcare and a review of recent important scientific findings that support a holistic approach.

Integrative approaches to mental healthcare have demonstrated efficacy in treating mental disorders and have very few, if any, harmful side effects, said Dr. Duffy. These simple but effective treatments include diet, movement practices, environmental changes, meditation and non-Western approaches such as acupuncture and Ayurveda, each of which can be used in adjunct to conventional allopathic treatments.

PhenObestin 37.5 New, Safe and Effective Weight Loss Pill (Non-Prescription Phentermine and Adipex Alternative)


Germantown, MD (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

PharmaCo Labs, a MD based company, is introducing an effective diet pill PhenObestin 37.5 as a safe and side-effects free alternative to prescription Phentermine and Adipex weight loss drugs.

PhenObestin 37.5 has been on the market since 2009. After serving over 1 million customers worldwide PhenObestin has proven to help people lose weight just as fast and effective as prescription Phentermine.

Our customers include men and women in USA, Australia and UK, ranging from soldiers to doctors all reporting quick and positive weight loss results.

PhenObestin 37.5 can be sold over the counter without prescription. It is produced using safe pharmaceutical-grade ingredients in cGMP – FDA compliant laboratory based in Indianapolis, IN.

What it does not contain are controversial herbs such as hoodia found in other products which is not effective and may cause harmful side-effects. Unlike herbal pills, PhenObestin 37.5mg is created from pharmaceutical grade ingredients that affect the central nervous system in such a way to reduce hunger, similar to Phentermine and Adipex, but do not harm people with dangerous side effects.

Ingredients of PhenObestin include Phenylethylamine, a chemical found in many foods such as chocolate acts to keep your mood elevated by giving your brain a boost in dopamine levels while reducing your appetite, benefiting the dieter on two folds. Theobromine Anhydrous, another key ingredient found in PhenObestin 37.5, works to increase one’s metabolism, even better compare to Adipex. Phenylethylamine and theobromine when combined together make a potent combination that not only help to reduce hunger by triggering appropriate signals in the brain but also keep you happy and alert. In addition, pure Yohimbine 99% HCL is added to the pill to increase blood circulation thereby allowing the two key ingredients easily travel through and be absorbed by the body.

All this proves that PhenObestin isn’t just another “magic pill with empty promises” – PhenObesitn Works!

PhenObestin 37.5 is by far the best diet-pill on the market today. It is legal to purchase online without a physician’s prescription. For more information visit http://www.shoppharmacycounter.com

Diet Doc hCG Diet Program Unveils Recent Report of People Losing 30 Pounds In One Month with Doctor Designed Diet


New York, NY (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

diet Doc hCG diet Program publishes the findings of their recent patient diet report showing an average of 30 pounds of weight loss (on average) per month.

weight loss goals are being met all over the Nation, but the most remarkable is Diet Doc’s latest report of 30 pounds in one month. Diet Doc personalizes a weight loss program for each person and utilizes prescription grade HCG and proprietary weight loss products for rapid, sustainable weight loss results.

Diet Doc is a nationwide weight loss program that is revolutionary with their state-of-the-art diet that sheds weight faster than patients have ever reported previously states Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc.

The Diet Doc’s diet difference is in that they personalize a weight loss program for each person based on their health history, age, gender and lifestyle reports Wright. Add to that, the patient consults with diet doctors, weight loss nurses and nutritional coaches weekly and this is the basis for successful claims Wright.

Diet Doc utilizes prescription medications, specifically formulated weight loss shakes, and a unique diet oil. People eat regular grocery store food, but are asked to remove carbohydrates and sugar. A typical day; egg white omelets, shake, unlimited vegetables and a chicken breast, shake, chicken gumbo, then shake again reports Wright.

Diet Doc is a clinically based medically, supervised diet. They do not utilize fad diet techniques, such as the feeding tube diet, ke diet or k-e diet or hCG plus (drops). Their diet doctors rely on a specific, proven weight loss diet that is personalized and highly effective. Also, people might not understand that diets such as the feeding tube diet or k-e diet actually burn muscle which causes loose skin, and changes in the fat within normal parts of the body. Green coffee extract isn’t strong enough reports Wright to burn weight and get the startling results achieved at Diet Doc.

Diet Doc provides medical weight loss to patients across the nation. Their proven techniques have helped thousands of people lose weight, now with reported results of up to 30 pounds per month, safely, with lasting results.
