Cedars-Sinai would like to wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season and new year.
The word 'holidays' is often code for 'a license to binge,' but, according to Dr. Adrienne Youdim, the Medical Director of the Cedars-Sinai Center for Weight Loss, "Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise during November and December can be critical to overall good health. "The body mass index (BMI) is a number that shows if your weight is too much for your height. Enter your weight and height in the BMI calculator and find out your BMI based on guidelines from the National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute.
The results of an international study of more than 800 women throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden have shown that a testosterone skin patch can boost sex drive for postmenopausal women.
The Cedars-Sinai Center for Weight Loss provides a complete range of medical and surgical treatment services for adults and adolescents ranging from the somewhat overweight to the morbidly obese. Center physicians thoroughly evaluate each patient and provide the individualized care that is crucial to effective and long-lasting treatment success.
