In 2009, Dr. Sara Stein wrote the award-winning Obese From The Heart: A Fat Psychiatrist Discloses chronicling her now 100 lb. weight loss, and the method she uses in treating obesity. Her witnessing reflects the soul within both patient and doctor. These are not the stories of individuals, but the collective wisdom of working with thousands of people of all ages and all walks-of-life who struggle with their lives. Some struggle with addictions, some with circumstances, some with biology, but all with a need for greater healing than our current overtaxed medical system can offer.
In this book Dr. Stein chronicles her journey toward healing, and her medical and psychiatric understanding of obesity that enabled her to lose 100 lbs, and treat thousands of patients. Why does Eat Less, Move More ultimately fail for the majority of patients? Because there is no simple fix to excess weight.
Obesity is a chronic medical condition of serious inflammation, chronic pain, disordered metabolism and genetic signals, altered brain chemistry, food sensitivities, toxic and infectious etiologies, and serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Obesity is a psychological condition of stress, depression, anxiety. Obesity is a spiritual condition of being isolated from the flow of society and the ones we love.
Applying severe restrictive diet and exercise to an ailing body may worsen, not improve, the obese person’s health. Any obese person knows that our current prescription of behavior modification fails to address the underlying causes of obesity, and sets the obese person up for regaining lost weight. Gimmicky diets, quick-fix machines, and too-good-to-be-true weight loss programs only work on TV, and may even be making us fatter. Long-term success addresses the brain as well as the stomach!
Drawing on her own battles with weight loss and years of experience as a physician and a psychiatrist, Sara L. Stein, M.D., tackles obesity with a fresh, honest, and holistic approach. Losing weight is the result of treating the whole person, mending Mind, Body, and Spirit. This is a why-not book, a what-about-me book, a my-turn-now book. Obese From the Heart addresses the everyday challenges of obesity – the fruitless struggle to lose weight, the self-conscious embarrassment of first impressions, and the hopeless, hollow chorus of ‘I’ll start tomorrow…’. Starting from the inside out, Dr. Stein teaches healthy, balanced, and energetic living that anyone can practice starting now.
“We are all connected.
My health reflects your energy.
My love is an expression of your loyalty.
My blessing is the song of your heart.
And so it goes.
When you are tired, I am in pain.
When you are alone, I weep.
When I am isolated from the flow of the universe, I cannot fill up, no matter how much I eat.”
