Draggin’, Saggin’, and Naggin’: When Hormones Drive You Crazy

Why that title? I tried to pack as much meaning into it as I could. It also makes people laugh . . . at first glance. Then they realize there’s actually more truth to it than the want to admit. Why? Because they identify with everything in that title. Let me explain.

How Badly Do <I>You</I> Want to Lose Weight?

By Robert Jones

Most of the women we see at the Utah Wellness Institute want to lose weight. Sometimes it’s what I call “vanity weight”. Other times it’s over a hundred pounds. It doesn’t really matter the amount. Of course we’ll run some blood tests to see if their thyroid has a problem (most of the time it does—which obviously slows down their metabolism) or to see if their other hormones might be causing fat-storing issues. We can generally treat those things successfully with bio-identical hormones. But that’s not the biggest battle we face with these overweight women (and men, of course).

She takes loads of vitamins but those don’t do a thing. I worry about her because she always seems down on herself. She’s not the same person I married anymore. Do you see any of that in your practice?”

{LDS How-to} Teach an Etiquette Night with the Youth

By Ashley Jones

A couple of weeks ago, the young women president in my ward asked me to be the guest speaker for the youth etiquette night. You want to know the first thought that ran through my head? “Alright, Ashley. You’ve got this. You’ve had plenty of experience eating (sad thought), so this should be a piece of cake.” (No pun intended. Alright, maybe a little pun intended.)
