LENOX, Mass. — The Lenox Library will host Canyon Ranch Medical Director Dr. Stephen Brewer on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. to discuss his new book, "The Canyon Ranch Guide to Weight Loss: The Scientifically Based Approach to Achieving and Maintaining Your Ideal Weight."

 

In his presentation, Dr. Brewer will talk about how there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight management. Factors influencing weight are as diverse as they are personal. From medications and lifestyle to chronic conditions and gut health, Dr. Brewer is dedicated to equipping individuals with the facts they need to evaluate the real factors that impact weight at every stage of life. Learn how to dispel fact from fiction and understand the science behind weight loss using an integrative approach gleaned from Dr. Brewer's decades as a board-certified physician, including the pros and cons of the latest fads such as Keto, Intermittent Fasting, how medications impact weight gain, and more.

 

Q&A and booking signing will follow the presentation.

 

Dr. Brewer, has served as Medical Director of Canyon Ranch Tucson for nearly two decades. One of the most important philosophies he has adopted during this time is to practice moderation when it comes to wellness. 

 

"I've learned that I don't need to go to extreme measures to be healthy, both physically and emotionally," he shares. "I don't spend hours in the gym, and I don't have an overly restricted diet. My exercises and diet are healthy, but it doesn't get in the way of my busy life. It is simply a part of my day."

 

He specializes in family medicine, integrative medicine, preventive medicine, and men's health. Over the years, he has led numerous presentations on topics including brain health, integrative medicine, preventive medicine, men's health, medical weight loss, peak performance, and health in moderation.

 

Dr. Brewer is the author of The Canyon Ranch Guide to Weight Loss: A Scientifically Based Approach to Achieving and Maintaining Your Ideal Weight, The Canyon Ranch Guide to Men's Health: A Doctor's Prescription for Male Wellness, What Happened to Moderation?: A Common-Sense Approach to Improving Our Health, and Treating Common Illness in an Age of Extremes; he also co-authored The Everest Principle: How to Achieve the Summit of Your Life.

 

The presentation is free and open to the public and will take place at Lenox Library, 18 Main Street, Lenox.
