Dr. Leeds is now providing The Sinclair Method treatment to help people who need helping with alcohol cravings.

Fort Lauderdale, FL - USA | August 13, 2021 -- Dr. Leeds is now providing The Sinclair Method treatment to help people who need helping with alcohol cravings. Pharmacological extinction using naltrexone therapy helps patients to cut back on alcohol consumption.

The Sinclair Method uses naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, to help erase the harmful learned behavior of drinking alcohol. If you are wondering how to stop craving wine, beer, vodka, rum, or even tequila, Dr. Leeds can help.

Coping with alcohol cravings is possible with naltrexone treatment combined with controlled drinking. By using The Sinclair Method (TSM) to help reduce intense cravings when exposed to drinking triggers, patients are able to reduce alcohol intake gradually.

Furthermore, the dreaded alcohol deprivation syndrome that often occurs months after quitting cold turkey can be avoided. The Sinclair Method, by using pharmacological extinction with respect to alcohol addiction, is highly effective.

Is it possible to erase a habit from the brain? Would you like to know how to deal with alcohol cravings in a way that will help to curb alcohol cravings for good?

When you drink alcohol to feel better and face certain situations, it is a habit forming behavior. Endorphin reinforcement eventually leads to alcohol dependence and alcoholism. The Sinclair Method works at the level of blocking opioid receptors to progressively remove alcohol cravings and alcohol urges.

Of course, alcohol is not an opioid, so the mechanism of TSM and how it helps to manage alcohol cravings is not obvious. Dr. Sinclair developed this method with inspiration from the work of Nobel Prize winning scientist, Ivan Pavlov.

The way it works is simple. If you are craving alcohol in the evening, You simply take the prescribed medication as directed by Dr. Leeds. After the appropriate amount of time has passed, you engage in controlled drinking.

The naltrexone opiate blocker helps you to control your alcohol drinking, and it helps to extinguish the alcohol habit, bringing you back to a pre-addiction state. The process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Many of Dr. Leeds’ patients lose interest in alcohol and stop drinking altogether. They are able to finally beat alcohol cravings and give up their obsession with alcohol.

They are also able to finally lose the compulsion to keep drinking one drink after another. TSM teaches your brain how to resist alcohol cravings by using the unique habit erasing behaviors of the program.

You may have heard of TSM from the well-known TEDx talk given by actress Claudia Christian. Ms. Christian has also produced a documentary on the topic, “One Little Pill.”

While the program is fairly straightforward, there is more to it than simply obtaining a prescription for the medication. Dr. Leeds has many years of experience helping people to overcome addictions and find success in life.

His unique blend of medical treatment and success coaching has helped many people to turn their lives around, finding peace and happiness. Dr. Leeds’ patients are often able to accomplish things that they previously only dreamed of.

NeurOptics, the worldwide leader in the science of pupillometry, today announced the U.S. launch of its NPi^®-300, a next-generation automated pupillometer that enhances pupillary assessment to assist in detecting cerebral insult, guiding treatment and informing prognosis for clinicians and their patients.

Early detection of neurological injury is critical for effective and timely diagnosis and treatment.¹ NeurOptics’ quantitative automated pupillometer provides a reliable measurement of pupil size and reactivity and tracks changes over time, allowing for earlier intervention for patients with brain injury and those at risk of secondary neurological injury. The NPi-300 Pupillometer supports neurological examination in adult and pediatric patients across a broad spectrum of diagnoses, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, seizure, or other neurological events after cardiac arrest and other medical conditions.

The new NPi-300 Pupillometer includes several enhanced features to improve functionality, including:

• Advanced wireless charging technology, offering improved reliability for the clinician
• Incorporated barcode scanner, allowing clinicians to easily scan a new patient’s ID accurately and instantaneously
• Updated graphical user interface, featuring an easy-to-read LCD touchscreen that enhances the visibility of the results screen

“We are excited to launch this advanced, next-generation pupillometer,” said William Worthen, President and CEO, NeurOptics. “It is a pivotal time for pupillometry, as more hospitals, ICUs and emergency departments are adopting the technology to assess patients for changes in pupillary light reflex—a sign of neurological injury. The NPi-300 Pupillometer, along with the Neurological Pupil index™ (NPi®) scale, provides clinicians with the information needed to make better treatment decisions.”

Automated pupillometry has emerged as an important technology that provides a quantitative measurement of pupil size and reactivity, expressed as the Neurological Pupil index (NPi). NPi values range from 0 to 4.9, with scores under 3 considered abnormal. The NeurOptics NPi-300 Pupillometer eliminates the variability and subjectivity inherent in manual pupillary evaluation (performed using a penlight), providing more accurate, reliable, and objective pupil size and reactivity measurement for this vital component of neurological examinations.^1-8

Beyond Body has announced it has launched a new mobile app that integrates an individual’s health analytics into the content, creating a personalized nutrition and wellness plan based on the user's goals.

The Beyond Body Assistant app, which is available on iOS and Android, creates a truly customized experience for the user. It includes personalized meal plans and full recipes around the user’s favorite foods. It also eliminates the need to count calories when users follow the app’s meal plans.

Christine Zalnieraite, nutritionist and author of the book, Beyond Body, says their mobile app is different from other nutrition apps because it includes both nutritional value tracking and calories counting, which is critical to a person’s long-term health and weight results. It then creates a personalized meal plan for the nutritional values your body needs.

"Many people get frustrated with calorie counting, give up and that prevents them from reaching their goals,” said Zalnieraite. “But counting calories is only one part of a successful wellness program. Tracking the nutritional value of every meal is also critical for sustaining results and improving health. Beyond Body’s unique algorithm counts calories and nutritional values.”

Zalnieraite said the Beyond Body personalized meal plan is extremely flexible. Users can choose from recipe-based and ingredient-based meal plans. And if there’s a recipe or ingredient they don’t like, users can swap them out.

"If you are using an ingredient-based plan, you can change ingredients one by one without changing the nutritional value or calories,” said Zalnieraite. “So if you want a sweet breakfast instead of savory, you can switch the recipe to another one. You will see how many ingredients you'll need, how to prepare each meal and the nutritional value of each recipe when you open each recipe or meal plan. 

How the Beyond Body Assistant App Works

Users answer 28 personalized questions created by nutritionists as part of the personalized process. Beyond Body then integrates the analytics into a program that is created around the person’s health conditions, diet, stress levels, and alcohol consumption. 

The health assessment begins with questions on areas readers want to improve. It continues with more personal questions on their sleep habits, stress levels, alcohol consumption, and health conditions such as allergies or diseases the reader may have.

More than 2 million people have shared their personal analytics with Beyond Body, giving their nutritionists insight on physical and mental health challenges people face in their daily lives. The book and mobile app create customized wellness programs around those obstacles so people are more likely to reach their health goals.

The Beyond Body Assistant app also provides other valuable tools to help people get healthy, including:

• Shopping Lists
• Personalized Workout Video Plan 
• Trackers for water intake, steps and weight
• Easy to use technology to identify favorite ingredients for personalized meals
• Reminders

Research Behind the Beyond Body Assistant App

Nutritionists with Beyond Body surveyed more than 1000 customers who bought the Beyond Body book to help them identify areas of assistance a mobile app could help. Their research found the Beyond Body Assistant app helped their users reach a healthy weight goal 33 percent faster than those who only used the book. 

About Beyond Body

Beyond Body takes analytics from a reader's profile and creates a customized wellness plan for their overall health and desired body needs and body goals. It's the first hardcover book to integrate analytics into a customized wellness plan based on the reader's physical and mental health as well as their current conditions and health history. The Beyond Body Assistant App takes the same technology and analytics and integrates it into a mobile application.

The new wellness book, Beyond Body, has announced a new nutrition program that integrates health analytics to help people lower their cholesterol without medication

Beyond Body is the first hardcover book to integrate analytics into the content, giving readers a personalized nutrition and health plan based on their personal health. 

Nutritionist and author of Beyond Body, Christine Zalnieraite, says Beyond Body gives people battling high cholesterol a natural alternative to high priced medications.

“It’s easy to say eat less red meat, or cut back on potato chips and your cholesterol will drop, but it’s not easy when those cravings start,” said Zalnieraite. “Most people give into those high cholesterol foods because they don’t have a plan. Beyond Body gives people a nutrition and health plan to help them one day at a time.”

As part of the personalized plan, readers answer 28 personal questions on their eating habits, work and sleep hours, alcohol consumption, personal stress levels, and whether they have health conditions like allergies and high cholesterol. Lifestyle questions, like are you a meat lover, also play a role in the health plan laid out by their nutritionists. 

The questions were created by nutritionists and personal trainers to help them create a customized health and nutrition plan for each reader based on their habits, health and goals. 

Data Analysis - Cholesterol Comparison Across Countries

This cholesterol analysis involved more than 1.9 million people from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain, Germany and France. Consumers voluntarily shared their health analytics with Beyond Body via an online data assessment test that created a personalized health, fitness and nutrition plan based on their individual needs.

The Beyond Body team analyzed their data to see how diet and sentiment influence cholesterol levels. They found people who described themselves as meat lovers had a greater rate of high cholesterol than people who say they don’t like meat.

Their data analyses found 9 percent of Americans had high cholesterol, but of those with unhealthy cholesterol levels, 79 percent said they are meat lovers. Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionshows 38 percent of Americans have high cholesterol.

Zalnieraite said the correlation between meat lovers and high cholesterol was transparent across countries.

“This is one of the first global looks at how we view meat can impact our cholesterol levels,” said Zalnieraite. “We already know high levels of meat consumption raises cholesterol levels, but this analysis shows how attitudes towards meat can also play a role in high cholesterol. Beyond Body helps replace these bad habits by suggesting healthier alternatives. If you change your diet, you can lower your cholesterol.”

And this data trend crosses country border lines. 

In Canada, the Beyond Body data found 76 percent of people with high cholesterol are also “meat lovers,” while roughly 71 percent of people with high cholesterol in the UK, Australia and Spain say they love meat.

Health Dangers of High Cholesterol

High cholesterol is dangerous because it has no symptoms and can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and high blood pressure. 

Zalnieraite said eating healthier foods is one of the best ways to lower your cholesterol without medication.

“Beyond Body lays out a nutrition and meal plan to help people eat healthier,” said Zalnieraite. “The 28-day plan includes meals low in saturated fats that are known to increase cholesterol levels. It also introduces meals rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and ingredients like walnuts, flaxseeds and salmon, which can lower your cholesterol.

About Beyond Body 

Beyond Body is the first hardcover wellness book to integrate health analytics into a customized wellness plan based on the reader’s health and conditions. Nutritionists and personal trainers lay out a 28-day plan packed with meal plans and recipes that are catered to the individual.
