Holistic Doctor in Los Angeles Encourages Patients to Eat Breakfast Everyday

Joseph Sciabbarrasi, MD, a holistic doctor based in Los Angeles, California, is encouraging patients to eat breakfast everyday. He had recently posted an article titled, “Yes, You Really Should Make Breakfast a Regular Thing…,” and this explains why breakfast is essential. He points out that one reason why eating breakfast is so important is that it comes after fasting for 8 to 12 hours or more. Years of studies have also shown that skipping breakfast can actually do more harm to a person’s health than good, even if skipping it will allow people to get on with their day earlier and faster.

Dr. Sciabarrassi explains, “Skipping breakfast can disrupt insulin sensitivity and can lead to overeating later in the day. Also, since skipping breakfast is stressful and it can result into higher blood pressure in the morning because of a hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal triggered response. On the other hand, eating breakfast can help in controlling appetite later in the day and in improving glycemic response at the next meal, thus enhancing insulin sensitivity. This will also result in decreased arterial stiffness and lower blood pressure. Studies have also shown that skipping breakfast results into a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.”

Dr. Sciabarrassi suggests that people make it a habit to have daily breakfast. Lack of time is the most common reason for skipping breakfast. Other reasons include lack of appetite and the common perception that preparing breakfast involves too much work. However, there are easy and quick ways to prepare breakfast. There are many suggestions online and people can also make use of a meal kit service. Although the meal kit service may be more expensive, it is a convenient way of having the most important meal of the day.

He has received several five star reviews from patients. For example, Sean S., who gave the clinic a five star rating, said, “The pain in my shoulder joints has been getting worse over time and I decided to have it checked. [...] During my visit with Dr Joe, he suggested trying an Ozone treatment to relieve my shoulder discomfort. [...] The treatment was painless and I felt relief almost immediately. I am very pleased to say that my shoulders have no pain since and I have regained the full range of painless motion that I had in my younger years. I believe this a much better solution than surgery for my situation. I would recommend this procedure to anyone suffering pain in their joints.
