How many sessions are needed for weight loss?
Hi there! Thanks for your question! To be honest, I believe that your best approach is getting a day to day nutrition plan that helps you slowly and permanently change your dietary habits, an accountability partner and supplements/dietary advice to help reduce sugar swings and cravings and resolve any digestive problems. In my experience, acupuncture is very reliable for pain conditions but not as effective for weight loss. It doesn’t reduce calories from ones diet or remove glucose from the blood or change macro intake (ratio between carbs-proteins-fats). I believe that acupuncture 1-2x a week may help anxiety or minor digestive discomfort related to the weight loss journey but it doesn’t effectively and directly cause weight loss. Hope that helps!
