It is true that spaying and neutering will cause some pets’ metabolism to slow down, which can lead to obesity if their diets are not adjusted. This simply means watching your pet’s weight and cutting back on food if they start to get heavy. Most pets that are spayed and neutered are just as active and playful after the procedure as they were before.

No. Often, poor diet and too little exercise are to blame. However, other health problems may cause weight gain and lethargy. If you notice these changes in your pet, you should discuss them with your Veterinarian.

A spay or neuter may slightly decrease body metabolism. However, proper diet and regular exercise have greater influence over your pet's weight and health than does sterilization surgery. Back to Top

Estrogens have a natural appetite suppressing effect and the loss of estrogens may lead to an increased appetite. It is important to realize that estrogens only circulate in a female cat during her mating season. Behaviorally, she should not be any different (or hungrier) than her Winter self.

NO. Active dogs will remain active. Lazy dogs will remain lazy. Studies show little impact of surgery on activity level or weight gain. A proper diet and regular exercise will impact your pet's weight and health much more than sterilization surgery.

Although stem cells are present in fat, the yield of these cells is far too low to be considered useful for a successful transplant.

No. Spaying or neutering will not contribute to obesity at all. If you watch your pets diet and give them plenty of exercise you should not have a problem.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive treatment for a lazy eye after the age of 7-9 years. But to our experience, most of our patients with lazy eyes have noticed an improvement in their vision and we have detected gain of 2 or more lines at the visual acuity test.

New scientific research proves that older children benefit from lazy eye treatment (up to age 17). What is lazy eye (amblyopia)? Links, references, FAQ, etc.

Research has shown that a group of fat men who were fit were more likely to outlive thin men who were out of shape. So being thin is no substitute for being fit. Fat is a threat if it is located in your belly. If you also have other risk factors for disease like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, then its time to lose a few pounds in addition to getting fit.

Because the fat takes longer to digest that protein or carbohydrate, nutritionists used to think it was more satisfying. But recent studies show that, overall, carbohydrate satiates better than fat. Preliminary studies suggest that people who have trouble regulating their body weight may actually be relatively insensitive to the satiety value of fat.

No. Many patients confuse presbyopia, or the natural aging process of the eye (which occurs in all people in their mid 40's), with farsightedness. When you have Lasik for distance, people over the age of 48 may need a pair of reading glasses to read unless you choose to have one eye done for distance and the other for near vision. Ask Dr. Lowe about this special technique..

Most studies do not report statistically significant effects of creatine on fat mass, either positive or negative. The meta-analysis discussed above indicated trends toward a decrease in fat mass and body fat percentage in subjects supplemented with creatine. An increase in lean body mass without an accompanying increase in fat mass will inevitably decrease body fat percentage.

I find this question pretty interesting. Some people really think they are in one weight category when they are really in a very different one, be it more or less. A doctor is the best person to determine whether you have a weight problem. Doctors measure your weight and height and given your age and growth patterns, he would assess where you stand from that perspective. The next best way I know (for adults only) is to calculate your BMI, the body mass index.

While no one should eat an unlimited amount of fat, a certain amount of fat is required for the absorption of certain nutrients. I would highly recommmed that people try to reduce the amount of unhealthy fats such as saturated fats and in turn ensure they consume more healthy fats... The brain is a fascinating and complex unit of our anatomy. The brain is responsible for so many things. It stores our short term and long term memories. The ability to learn is from our brain as well.

No. That is a myth that resulted from bad propaganda. In reality, natural coconut oil-not the hydrogenated version often found in processed foods-is a saturated fat, but not the kind your doctor has warned you about. Studies have shown that this uniquely curative oil actually has innumerable health benefits ranging from disease prevention to anti-aging. There are now numerous coconut diets available which prove that coconut, specifically its oil, can help you lose weight.
