As a holistic physician and medical acupuncturist, I see a lot of patients with “burnout”. The medical terminology for this is adrenal fatigue or “adrenal hypofunction”. The adrenal glands are a very important part of our stress-handling system and pumps out cortisol and adrenaline during stress.
What I’m seeing is a lot of people with fat around the middle of their bellies. Skinny legs and big bellies are typical of “stress-fat”. When there has been too much “stress” in the body, and the adrenal glands have been over-producing cortisol, it encourages the body to store fat.
Why? Think of it this way. In the tribal days, it would be advantageous in times of stress and famine to be able to “store fat” for the long haul wouldn’t it? But with today’s access to yummy and not-so-healthy food, that genetic ability to store fat isn’t so helpful is it?
What I’ve found is that in addition to the SP6 Complete system for weight loss which emphasizes detoxification of toxins (toxins also encourage fat to stick around), using Energy Enhancer patches at the same time helps support the stress-handling system thereby giving the poor little adrenal glands some rest and “recharge”. The fat-burning aspects of Energy Enhancer patches can be helpful as well.
One of my favorite point combinations to use (and you can try different ones) is to use
1. Energy Enhancers on Liver 3, white on right, tan on left AND
2. SP6 Complete on the left SP6 point and Glutathione on the right SP6 point OR SP6 Complete on GV 4 (on the back) and Glutathione on CV 6 (two inches below belly button)

I never thought finding the best weight loss program online can be such a daunting task until I did it on my own. Honest to goodness, I spent an entire month to come up with the conclusion about the excellent weight loss program currently available online.
blah is it just me or does everything on this blog take forever to load? I click a link and it stalls there for 20 seconds =(
I think it might be your internet connection. Mine is not great but the page loads fine for me. Good Luck!

Have I to use this application everyday of the week? How long?
Thank dr Karen for your advices!
Monica, I’d use the EE with SP6 complete five to seven days a week depending on your needs with a minimum of four days a week. You can use EE on PC6, Ki 1 or ST 36 to start. Good luck!
