Specializes in Family Medicine

Weight loss: Many people respond to a low glycemic diet and specific exercise that includes high intensity interval training. There are some commercial programs that can be helpful. Two I like are through a company called Advocare and another by Mannatech. If you wanted to check those out go to www.thedocstu.com. Good luck!
