Change Your Lifestyle... Change Your Life

Don't fall victim to fad "starvation" diets or potentially dangerous weight loss pills - in the long run your body will only end up retaining fat and losing lean tissue (muscle).
Lifestyle modifications such as nutrition, diet, and exercise are the preferred methods for achieving healthy body composition.

What is unhealthy body composition? Generally speaking, it refers to carrying too much fat in comparison to lean tissue (e.g. muscle)- often referred to as having a high fat-to-lean ratio.

How do you measure body composition? Well, it can't be measured by your bathroom scale. The following methods can be used to assess your body composition:

• Waist Circumference and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)
• Skin-Fold Thickness
• Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
  

With a targeted body composition program, you will not only lose unhealthy and unattractive fat - you will also minimize your risk of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, hormone-related problems, and more!

The Giving Tree

Woodward Medical Center announces
The Giving Tree

Each time you refer a new patient to Woodward Medical Center we will donate two items in your name to the Woodridge Food Pantry. You may select from the items under our decorated tree. There you will find diapers, baby formula, new toys, socks, mittens, food, toiletries and school supplies. This year the need is greater than ever. Together we can help.

Looking for another way to give? We are just as committed to your health as to our community. Please keep your scheduled 3 visits per week for 3 weeks and you too may pick a gift from under the tree to donate to the Woodridge Food Pantry.

You will receive a personal thank you note from the Woodridge Food Pantry after your donation is made.

The season starts now, look for The Giving Tree at the clinic on November 1st and throughout the season.
