Dr. Lindsey’s Newsletter

I’m thrilled to share groundbreaking insights for our April newsletter, shedding light on Splenda (sucralose) and its effects on your health. For nearly two decades at The Weigh Station, we’ve cautioned against artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame. To find out why, check out this newsletter.

Ever catch yourself munching through a tough day? You’re not alone—emotional eating sneaks in when triggers hit. Spotting the pattern (stress, boredom, sadness) is step one, but by then, the habit’s often dug in deep. Learn more about some pivots you can make to break the cycle and spring you toward control. What’s your go-to swap? Let us know!

Welcome back, everyone! We’re thrilled to see such fantastic progress in our community. Congratulations to all of our new and returning patients for kicking off the year with a remarkable weight loss of 10-20 pounds or more! Your dedication is truly inspiring. Remember, every small, positive change in your habits contributes to a larger transformation in your life.

As we usher in the New Year, our phones have been ringing non-stop with calls from individuals eager to restart our program or have heard about the program and want to become members. Each January brings the same hopeful scenario for new patients and returning patients alike. I want to take a moment to talk about something vital—grace.

The festive season from Thanksgiving through New Year’s is a time of joy, but it can also be challenging for those managing weight, eating disorders, or dietary sensitivities. Remember, my wonder team is available to help get you through the holidays successfully—I know how hard it can be. Learn how you can navigate these holidays with health and happiness.

As men age, the natural decline in testosterone levels can lead to a range of physical and psychological changes. Testosterone replacement therapy has emerged as a valuable treatment option for men experiencing the effects of low testosterone levels. If you suspect you may have low testosterone, it is something we should discuss together.

Since beginning this journey at TWS…each of you have touched my heart with your stories, success and love. I am so thankful for the opportunity you have generously given me and the trust you have placed in me to help this community on its metabolic wellness journey. Everyday at TWS is a joyful, fun day filled with your great success, and again, I am thankful to be a part of it.

So many changes at The Weigh Station over the past month. We have relocated to Roanoke, Judy retired, and Dr. Shaffer has been gracious enough to pass me the practice newsletter. I have deleted and retyped what to say so many times…I have lost count. What do we need to discuss? What needs to be conveyed to The Weigh Station family?
